We carry interest and love for the holiday called New Year through our whole life, we expect gifts, miracles and special fun from it. And what fun is it without New Year's games, contests, fairy tales with dressing up and funny entertainment !? Moreover, everyone wants to move a little and play pranks after the traditionally generous New Year's table for all sorts of goodies and drinks!

It is recommended to include various comic fortune-telling and predictions in the festive entertainment program, but, most importantly, do not forget to choose games and contests suitable for the gathered company, the festive mood of all guests will largely depend on this.

Here are offered New Year's games and contests for a wide variety of tastes: creative, funny, lively and moderately spicy . These are funny games for funny people, some of them will be useful at corporate parties, others - more suitable for home celebrations and a close company of friends. Think about which ones you need, and play like New Year's with fun and pleasure!

1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming .."

This entertainment can be held just before the appearance of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden and involve all guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand up so as not to interfere with each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not with a shout, but with an unusual New Year's dance. The meaning of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's verse with sign language.

Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,

Santa Claus is coming to us!

And we know that Santa Claus

He brings us gifts! Hooray!

All words are replaced by gestures: “walking” - walking in place, “Santa Claus” - we put a hand with spread fingers to the chin (depicting a beard), the combination “to us” - a gesture pointing to oneself. To show the word “we know”, we put our finger to our forehead, the word “we” is a gesture pointing to all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag over the shoulders, and when the word “gifts” is used, everyone depicts what he dreams about. "Hooray!" - everyone stomps and claps

For more interest, it is better to change words to gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until the last word disappears, and only gestures remain with a cheerful musical accompaniment.

And when they start clapping (meaning "hurray"), Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden appear, who distribute gifts to the "artists" (if any) or begin their program.

2. New Year's competition "Race for Fortune"

The role of "luck" in this competition will be played by durable unbreakable Christmas tree decorations, for example, large and colorful balls. Also, you will need children's plastic mini-hockey sticks (or Chinese back-scratching hands), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).

At the start, the participants are tied with children's clubs (go backs) to the belt, and the finish is marked with chairs for each. Chairs will also play the role of a gate into which players must drive their "ball of luck". This can be done only with clubs, in no case using your hands.

Naturally, the winner is the one who scores a goal faster - "drive the luck" into his own goal. He is awarded the talisman of good luck (Christmas tree decoration), he is declared "lucky of the year" - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who has just caught his luck, so that he will be lucky too.

3. "Be my tree!"

First, the participants in this competition cut out a Christmas tree toy from colored cardboard. Then, with the help of the received clothespin or paper clip, they should hang the "created miracle" on the Christmas tree, but ... with a blindfold. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having "deprived" their eyesight, are spun around their axis and then offered to reach the tree. At the same time, the tree for everyone will be the first thing that he will rest against - there he must hang his toy.

Usually, hardly anyone gets to a real tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the most, and even can hang his work on it.

4. Competition at the New Year's holiday "The most resourceful Snow Maiden".

To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). Girls are blindfolded, and about ten Christmas tree decorations are hidden in men's clothes. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel, and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything beating, stabbing or cutting in this game.

The task of the girls - "Snow Maidens" is to find everything hidden on the body of their partner. Naturally, the girl who discovers the largest number of toys in the allotted period of time wins and receives the title "The most resourceful Snow Maiden".

5. New Year's greetings for the boss.

This is a party competition. The presenter will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The presenter asks such an innocent question: with which of the animals, birds or flowers (if the boss is a lady), each of you associates your boss.

Then everyone goes out, names their association and depicts it, on command freeze - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything repeats - the whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees decided not to waste time on trifles and to present the boss with an instant picture of Repin "They Didn't Expect" or a picture of an unknown author "Morning after a corporate party".

Perhaps it will be funnier if we limit the associations only to the animal world and then imagine it as a painting by an unknown author of "Animals at the Banquet".

Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the "native" bosses melt away from the sign of attention shown personally to him.

6. "Mischievous" signs.

At the beginning of the draw, six players are shown six tablets, which depict a green Christmas tree, a bottle of champagne, a roll of toilet paper, a chair, a package of New Year's napkins and a beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit with their backs to the hall, and it is announced to them that one of the plates shown is attached to their chairs in random order, they randomly make an assumption which one and, in accordance with their assumption, answer the questions:

• What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into the house?
• What do you think guests do when they pick you up?
• How often does the owner use you?
• Where do you go after use?
• What can replace you, if you really need it?
• What material do you think they are made of?

There are no losers or winners in this raffle game, but everyone deserves a round of applause.

7. Game moment "Road to New Year"

(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)

The Leader reads the text. The guests line up and step at the appropriate moment.

Leading... The road to the New Year awaits you,
And he will pass the whole year along it,
Who will only take what is needed.
In the New Year we go in a crowd ...
Did you take everything with you?
If health has been taken,
Take a step forward wider!
Are we in the mood?
We are walking together with you!
We take problems ... Well, alas ...
You must not step forward!
And who dared to take
You will have to surrender back!
We'll grab some money, because they
We must influence our life.
And how many pockets can you count
So many steps and walk!
Who lagged behind? Friends will help you
Have ... one more pocket.

An additional pocket is pinned to the laggards.

Hope must also be taken

It's somehow more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We cannot live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you have, children?
According to their number, you take steps as soon as possible.
Who will take friendship with him?
He boldly goes a whole step forward.
And who dared to take the blues?
I'll ask you to walk back!
And happiness will not hurt us.
May it accompany everyone
And it will enter every house ...
Let's move one step forward!
Now turn to each other
And hug tightly!
Celebrate the New Year with you together
And walk along his path
Forward! Despite adversity!
Happy New Year to everyone!

The host hands over a bottle of champagne to the first in line.

Feel free to take a bottle of champagne,
Now treat each other to champagne.
May your road be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!

8. "Revived" chairs.

In this game, Grandfather Frost himself "drives". He recruits participants, there must be at least ten people, and seats them on chairs. The chairs are arranged in a staggered manner with the seats facing each other. First, they put the number of chairs, how many participants are involved in the game. The players sit down, and Santa Claus begins to walk around to a New Year's song and the one next to whom he knocks on the floor with his staff, gets up from his place and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.

Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out different pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows him on his heels must clearly follow all his "zigzags". From the side, it turns out to be a rather interesting sight, because the whole procession, following Grandfather, either crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.

However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, you need to run headlong to the chairs and take your place. In fact, while all this "caterpillar" led by Grandfather is "walking", one chair is removed, so that upon returning one of the players will not find a place for himself.

After this trick, the game is repeated anew, only the second time two chairs disappear - then the game goes to the last "survivor" (he has a prize).

9. New Year "Crocodile"

Even such a well-known game as "Crocodile" at the New Year's holiday can be presented in a new way. For example, the theme of guessed pantomimes is to make comic plots from life and "workdays" ... Santa Claus and Snow Maiden.

To do this, the presenter prepares a lot of paper cards in advance with the following content about Santa Claus: “Santa Claus fell asleep after the children's matinee in a bag of gifts”, “Santa Claus had enough and woke up in bed with the Snow Woman”, “Children stole from Santa Claus beard "," Santa Claus received a telegram with a request from the Moscow zoo to give him a deer "," Santa Claus ate ice cream "," Santa Claus gave the Snow Maiden underwear. "

About Snegurochka something like this: "Snegurochka will cheat on Santa Claus with the Snowman", "Snegurochka worked at a matinee in a sex shop", "Snegurochka gave birth to Santa Claus twins", "Snegurochka found Santa Claus in bed with the Snow Queen", "Snegurochka was paid 1000 dollars for a striptease "," After the holidays, the Snow Maiden recovered by 6 kg ", etc.

Select tasks for a specific company, of course, they should be different for an adult party and for a family holiday.

The rules can be changed a little, for example, to divide the participants into two teams, each pulling out a card for himself. Then, in turn, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what has been written in the style of pantomime, and the opposing team guesses. Time can be limited, and at the end of the game, it is possible to calculate which team had the most guesses, or you can not do it at all, because the main thing is general fun.

10. "Who is this?"

Everyone's favorite holiday, New Year, is just around the corner. One of the important components of a fun and exciting holiday is active games and original contests that do not allow anyone to stand aside and unite all participants in the New Year celebration.

Funny, funny contests will allow you to have a good rest and have nice fun at the New Year's party. The presenters who are entrusted with organizing the entertainment part, we offer an original selection of games, contests and quizzes for the scenario of a festive corporate party!

To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting contests and fun.

Drinking

To begin with, we propose to include cool contests at the table in the program of the New Year's corporate party at work.

What will Santa Claus give?

Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).

Before sitting down at the festive table, guests receive a small piece of paper and write what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This can be, for example, a new apartment, car, dog, travel, money, lover ...

The leaves are rolled up and placed in a beautiful box, hat ... At some point in the evening, the presenter asks everyone to draw out an arbitrary piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for the next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And the wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what has come true.

The leaves can be attached with threads to a rope / fishing line and then, as once in childhood, blindfolded with the help of scissors, cut off a wish. Another option is to tie notes to balloons and distribute to those present.

I want-want-want! ... Branded hochuha

Another game about desires. But no attributes this time.

5-7 volunteers are called. In turn, they name their wish for the next year. You need to speak quickly, without delaying the line! Stopped for more than 5 seconds - the player is eliminated. We play until the victory - until the last player! (Small prize is possible).

Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts

When, in the midst of a feast, the guests get bored, invite them not only to fill their glasses, but to say a toast or congratulations to everyone present.

There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with letters of the alphabet in order!

For example:

• A - I am absolutely sure that the new year will be the best!
• B - Be healthy and happy!
• Q - In general, I am glad to be with you today!
• D - Pride is bursting at the sight of those gathered around this table! ..

The funniest moment is when the letters e, e, y, y, y come into play.

Variant of the game: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I am very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you…”. To complicate things, you can forbid to start a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.

"I'll sing about Frost!" Compose a ditty

Those wishing to write during the evening, and then submit to the audience a ditty, in which there are pre-set New Year words or themes by the presenter. It could be “New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden”.

You can compose non-juggles - with a non-rhymed last line, but keeping the given rhythm of a ditty. Example:

Hello red santa claus
you brought us presents!
The most important is ten days
let's just rest.

Snow news

Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. The cards contain 5 completely unrelated nouns. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.

The participant pulls out a card, reads out the words they have inherited and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with news from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.

Nouns can be transformed into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs ...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.

You can start the news with the words "Sensation!"

For example:

• 1 card - “road, chair, roof, bike, snowman”. Sentence - "Outside the city, a huge snowman was discovered with a rode roof on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!"
• 2 card - “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, tree”. Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice”.

Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they have inherited.

Fun guaranteed!

Love / dislike at the neighbor

The game does not require any available tools! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.

The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (clothing is possible) they like on the one sitting on the left, and which part they do not like. For example: "My neighbor on the right has my left ear and I don't like the protruding pocket."

After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks you to kiss (or stroke) what you like and bite (or slap) what you don't like.

Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called in a circle.

Our friend is an orange!

This game can be played at the New Year's party in the office only if all colleagues are well acquainted. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.

The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants try to guess who it is with the help of leading questions.

But the questions are not simple - these are associations! Whoever guesses the first will win.

Questions are something like this:

• - What fruit / vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
• - What food is associated with? - With pies.
• - What animal? - With a mole.
• - What music? - With choral singing.
• - What flower?
• - What plant?
• - By car?
• - Color?
• - Part of the world?

Yin-yang bumps

Attributes: 2 cones - one painted white, the other black. If you have nothing to dye with, you can wrap them with colored woolen threads of the desired color.

The course of fun: the host is chosen from the guests, who will have these two bumps. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He makes a word, and the rest, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he is up to.

The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES is a white cone, NO is a black one. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.

The first guesser wins.

Instead of cones, you can take multi-colored Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.

Associations on a piece of paper. Corrupted phone of associations

Players' attributes: a piece of paper and a pen.

The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly in the ear of a neighbor. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and in a whisper passes it on to the next one.

This is how associations are transmitted along a chain ... The latter speaks aloud the word passed to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.

Funny neighbor

Any number of guests plays.

We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take his ear, pat his shoulders, tap his nose, flick his hand, touch his knee ... That's all, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor / neighbor.

The one who laughs drops out.

Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If nobody laughed, a new movement. And so on until the last "Not Laughing".

New Year's rhyming

The driver reads out little-known New Year's / Winter's quatrains. But he says aloud only the first 2 lines.

The rest are invited to participate in the competition for the best rhyme writer.

Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines... Then the funniest and most original poet is chosen, and then the original of the poem is read out amid general laughter and amusement.

Drawing competition "I see-see the New Year!"

Those who wish are given sheets A-4 with arbitrary lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (a copier will help you).

The task is to finish painting on a New Year's theme.

Of course, everyone knows who in the team understands painting best of all. Here he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - a holiday!

Movable

Nimble bump

Attributes: pine or spruce cones.

The course of the game: guests can either sit at the table, or stand in a circle (if by this time they have sat too long). The task is to pass the bump to each other. Condition - you can only transfer it by holding it on the back of two palms. Try it, it's hard enough ... But also fun!

You can also split into equal teams, and which one will pass its bump faster, that one won.

My Frost is the most beautiful of all!

You will need various items such as garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags ... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Santa Claus.

From the items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, this can be finished by choosing the most successful and funniest model ...

The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help both with the "decoration" of Santa Claus and with advertising.

Snow paths

This is a very successful game to identify pairs for the subsequent New Year contests.

Attributes: colored ribbons of winter shades (blue, light blue, silver ...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them, mixing up the halves.

3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket / box to which there are multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.

Host: “In the New Year, the paths were covered with snow ... The blizzard confused the paths in the house of Santa Claus. We must unravel them! Take each in pairs at the tip of the tape that you like, and pull the track towards you. The couple who draws their ribbon earlier than others will receive a prize! "

The players choose their pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn differently and the pairs are completely unexpected.

Happy people train

Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!

Arrange a round dance-train for your guests. It is clear that it can be difficult for party-goers to raise themselves to a mobile competition, so come up with branded clickers.

- Now those who are attached to the locomotive
a) wants a lot of wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health for themselves,
d) who dreams of a trip to the sea, etc.

The host drives the locomotive around the hall, it fills up and fills up with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from the tables, dancing-movements of the engine are arranged (they can be shown by the presenter) to the daring music.

New Year's term deposit

Attributes: candy wrappers.

Two couples are chosen, each one a man and a woman. It is desirable that men should be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should be in a jacket).

- Dear women, on the threshold of the New Year, and you need to have time to make an urgent deposit in the bank. Here is some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank for a super term deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each "bill" in a separate cell! And pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!

The task is given 1-2 minutes.

- Attention! Intermediate check: those who managed to make a full investment (not a single wrapper was left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in the business!

- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. You will shoot each with a blindfold, but you always remember what and where you put it. Music! Let's start!

The trick is that men are swapped, and women blindfolded "search" someone else's partner, not knowing about it. Everyone has fun!

We are actors anywhere!

Those wishing to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them know in advance what they will have to face.

The presenter announces that the participants need to walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written in the cards. Here's a rough list:

• tightrope walker over an abyss,
• duck in the yard,
• teenager with a stalled bike
• shy girl,
• shy Japanese woman in kimono in the rain,
• a toddler,
• heron in the swamp,
• Joseph Kobzon at the speech,
• policeman in the market,
• a hare along the path,
• model on the podium,
• Arab sheikh,
• cat on the roof, etc.

The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.

Funny drawing "Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators"

Attention: played only once!

The presenter invites the person who wants to portray a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a "secret" task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).

Meanwhile, the facilitator's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his movements.

The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend not to understand and name anything but the one they are shown.

- Walks, waddling? It's a platypus (a lame fox, a tired boar)!
- Licks his paw? The cat must be washing itself.
Etc.

It happens that the depicting person is surprised by the lack of understanding of the guests, begins to get angry: “Why are you so stupid? It's so easy! " And if he shows hellish patience, he shows again and again - he has iron nerves! But it also amuses the staff gathered at the party. Do not delay it. When the player starts to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the right animal.

3. Competitions for music

Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dancing? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, a lot of music games-contests for the New Year's corporate party have been invented.

Scene "Clip Song"

This is the most creative musical entertainment for a New Year's corporate party.

Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Santa Claus, Christmas tree, Snow Maiden ... and simple attributes that will help the players to dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves ...)

The task is to make a corporate video for the song "It's cold in winter for the little Christmas tree." We need an operator who will shoot the clip on camera.

The participants, accompanied by song accompaniment, begin to depict all the actions about which they are sung: "a gray little coward bunny jumped under a Christmas tree" - the hero jumps, "they hung beads" - the team hangs beads on an impromptu live "Christmas tree".

You can split into two teams (employees and employees) and each will shoot its own video. It is desirable to display the results on a large screen and compare. To reward the winners with branded souvenirs or applause.

Lazy Dances Competition

The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the merry New Year's music-song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up!

At the command of the leader, they dance with different parts of the body:

• First we dance with our elbows!
• Then shoulders,
• feet,
• fingers
• lips,
• eyes, etc.

The rest choose the coolest dance.

Shape-shifting song

This is a comic game that you can play at any time of the holiday. The presenter pronounces the lines from the New Year / winter song, but with the words the other way around. The task of everyone is who is faster guess the original and sing it... The one guessing is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone ...), so that later it would be easier to calculate the winner in the entire competition.

The lines might look something like this:

- A birch died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - New Year is rushing to us, soon everything will happen.
- White-white steam stood on the ground. - Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white knights, three white knights.
- A brave white wolf sat on a baobab. - Little gray bunny coward rode under the Christmas tree.
- Be silent, Santa Claus, where will you go? - Tell me, Snegurochka, where have you been?
- You read me a book about 1 hour. - I'll sing you a song about five minutes.
- A huge palm tree is hot in summer. - The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
- Weights were removed, left the chain. - They hung the beads, got up in a round dance.
- I ran away from you, Snegurochka, wiped off a little sweet smiles. - I ran after you, Santa Claus. I shed many bitter tears.
- Ay, heat, heat, warm you! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, do not freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
“Your worst purchase is me. - My best present is you.

Song Contest "Musical Hat of Santa Claus"

Attributes: we put words from New Year's songs in the cap.

The players pass it in a circle with musical accompaniment. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember / sing a piece of the song where it occurs.

You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time for completing the task and reward the team for each guessed right.

Not sure if your guests are so quick-thinking - write not one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!

Candlelight dance

A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.

Put on some slow music and invite the couples to light the sparklers and dance. The couple, whose fire will burn longer, won and she will receive a prize.

If you want to add spice to your dance - choose tango!

An old song in a new way

Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare a music score without words (karaoke music).

Quietly loudly

A well-known song is selected, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.

At the command "Quiet!" sing a song to themselves. At the command "Loud!" out loud again.

And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud chorus starts with different words. And so it is repeated several times, all having fun.

4. Team

Team games for the New Year's corporate party will once again strengthen the team spirit and solidarity, playing the role of an unscheduled team building.

Competition - relay race "Boots of Santa Claus"

Attributes: 2 pairs of very large boots (or one).

This game is played around a tree or around chairs by teams.

Those who play at the signal of the driver or the sound of music put on large felt boots and run a race around the tree (chairs). If you only have one pair of such winter shoes, then let the teams compete for a time.

With felt boots, you can still come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them in a team to each other; carry on outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it's difficult to do in large ones), etc. Imagine!

Don't drop the lump

Attributes: "snow" lumps made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden ones can be used).

At the command of the driver (or by the sound of music), the first participants should quickly run around the room back and forth, carrying a lump in a spoon and trying not to drop it. Do not take too long routes - just make a circle around the tree.

This competition is exclusively for an adult company. The guests are divided into two equal teams.

At the signal of the driver and to the perky music, the players take off parts of their clothes in order to tie a long, long rope out of them.

When “Stop!” Sounds, noticeably undressed participants begin to measure the length of their chains of clothes.

The longest wins!

I'll dress up for the New Year! or "Outfit in the dark"

Two participants stand near their chest / box / basket, which contain different items of clothing. They are first blindfolded, and then they must put on everything from the chest as quickly as possible.

Will Cinderella go to the New Year's ball?

Mixed beans, peppers, rose hips, peas lie on plates in front of two participants (you can take any ingredients). The number of grains is small so that the game does not run for too long (you can check it experimentally before the holiday).

After the players are blindfolded, they begin to sort the fruits into piles by touch. Whoever copes first will go to the ball!

This competition should delight all guests. Everyone participates. Each of the participants chooses a closed card in which a specific role is written for him. Within a few seconds, the participant thinks over in what position and with what emotions he will show and play his role. The presenter picks up the camera and the show begins. In turn, introducing the participant and his role, the photographer takes a couple of pictures of the actor or actress. If there is a possibility of the photo, you can immediately view it on the big screen using a flash drive, or then send the pictures to each of the guests by mail. Sample roles:

- a black man playing a drum;
- Baba Yaga with a hangover;
- smiling beaver and so on.

Not without me

The competition consists in the fact that each participant answers each question of the presenter with his own name and surname. As a result, you can calculate all the pranksters, villains and hooligans. Questions can be of the following nature:
- who stole Michael Jackson's car? The first participant gets up and says his name and surname, for example, I, Vitya Petrov;
- who ate all the sweets from the vase?
- who sawed off the wing from the president's plane?
- who ate garlic today?
- who sits here without panties?
- who will die of a hangover tomorrow? etc.

I will make a toast from the bottom of my heart

The essence of the competition is that each of the participants in turn gets up and introduces themselves by name, and then says the phrase "My friends, I wish everyone ..." and adds three words to the letter that begins his name. It will be interesting to see how the guests, whose names, for example, Elizabeth or Yuri, will get out, because there is not so much to wish for in the "e" or "u".

Decoding

Guests are divided into teams of 3-4 people. At the start command, each team must write their decoding on a piece of paper - GRANDFATHER Frost and Snow Maiden, for example, Kind, Only, Sincere, Cute, Discreet, Russian, Responsible, Winter and Brave, Gentle, Natural, Brilliant, Smart, Joyful, Charming , Sensitive, Sociable, Angelic sweet.
