Children's holiday      08/26/2023

What to say New Year to the family. How the New Year is celebrated in my family (composition)

Family New Year: games for children and adults, contests, script, free printables.

family new year

For our family, the New Year is not only a feast under the Christmas tree, but also pleasant moments of communication with each other. And without interesting contests, riddles and various unexpected magical surprises and notions, the New Year holidays lose their charm. And in creativity, the family unites and inspiration and new ideas are born!

We usually prepare the holiday very quickly - literally in a few hours on the last New Year's Eve days. We cook along the way, discussing it on the way to the store or in transport, as well as at night, so that no one hears anything from our surprises. And costumes are born from various improvised things. Baba Yaga appears from an ordinary dressing gown, a scarf on her head and a broom or mop in her hands. Snowman - from a sheet stretched over a gymnastic hoop, on which snowflakes are sewn. Koschey - from a tracksuit, a swimming cap on his head and a couple of lines of makeup on his face. Such characters do not scare and are very funny, amuse everyone.

This is not a fictional script, this is a sincere humorous family holiday in the home circle or with guests. It is performed without rehearsals and is based on improvisation.

Scenario family new year number 1.

We played out this scenario in the upcoming 2015 New Year. But you can use it not only on New Year's Eve, but also on any day when guests with children come to your house.

Let's start like this.

Action 1. New Year's letter from Koshchei.

When the New Year comes and it's time to find gifts under the tree, guests find a very beautiful festive envelope under the tree. Joyful, they open the envelope and read the message. And there!!! No, it's not New Year's greetings! In the envelope, instead of congratulations, there is a letter from Koshchei the Deathless!

It's like, "Happy New Year! Hahaha! Do you want gifts? Ha! You will not have a happy new year! I stole Santa Claus and hid New Year's happiness in a hot country. Soon Santa Claus will melt! You won't find anything! Koschei. (You can download this letter by clicking on the link and print it on a printer on a sheet of A4 paper) -

Action 2. New Year's trip around the countries.

We need to go save Santa Claus and we go on a trip to look for a hot country, Santa Claus and New Year's happiness. Along the way, we find ourselves in different countries and in games we learn a lot of interesting and funny things about them.

The first game. Let's all play together first. "Guess it." Questions are asked about how the new year is celebrated in different countries. In the game you need to guess if it's true or not. If it's a lie, then you need to correct it to the truth. Similar questions can be asked about Christmas.

Examples of tasks for the game:

- In Italy, there is a tradition at the very last minute before the New Year to throw broken dishes, old clothes and even furniture out of the window. Is it true or not?

— In Germany, Santa Claus comes to the children on an elephant. Is it true or not? If not on an elephant, then on what? Guess :-).

Tasks for this game on a holiday (questions and correct answers to them) You can free download

With young children, in the course of this game, you can depict how we either fly on an airplane, or ride a train, or sail on a ship from one country to another. And adults will guess. So we will occupy both children and adults in this game.

Second game. Rubbish. In the game you have to guess the meaning of the words. As a linguodidact by profession (i.e. a person involved in language teaching methods), I could not help but include humorous language puzzles for adults in the script. Almost all adult guests asked to give them tasks from this game in order to play later with their guests :). Therefore, be prepared - and print out several copies of the tasks for the game in advance.

Examples of tasks for this game. Guess what it is?

- What is "toadstool" in Czech: a) poisonous mushroom, b) buckwheat, c) an unpleasant incident?

- What is "bun" in translation from Bulgarian: a) homemade cakes, b) fat woman, c) bride, d) cake?

Want to know the answers? Then download the questions and answers from the links below:

You can play this game not only during the New Year holidays, but also at any family holiday.

While we are guessing these 12 questions, we are moving through the fairy forest to the fairy hut. The travel map helps us with this. The correct answer to one question of the game of nonsense is our one step forward to the hut. We move the chip across the field.

Action number 3. Tasks of Baba - Yaga.

We find ourselves in the hut of Baba Yaga. Yes, it was she who was drawn on our travel map. We remember how to get into the hut and all together we ask the hut to turn "back to the forest, and front to me."

Baba-Yaga meets us very politely and in a fabulous way: “You are my killer whales, where did you come from? On what business did the boyars and merchants pass by my hut?

She agrees to help us in search of Santa Claus and New Year's happiness, but only if we complete her tasks.

Baba Yaga gives a separate task to adults and children.

The task for children is riddles - tricks. They are constructed in such a way that some of the riddles require an answer in rhyme, and some - not in rhyme. You need to be careful and not make a mistake! Not only children, but also their mothers and even fathers are happy to guess tricks. And adults make mistakes just as often as children!

You can give chips for correct answers in this game (if even 7 people answered correctly at the same time, we give each of them a chip). At the end of the game, we count the chips and give out small surprises to everyone who has at least one chip.

Riddles - rhyming tricks alternate with regular riddles to confuse players. It is possible in snags to specifically pronounce the first syllable of the wrong word aloud.

The task for adults is a question-and-answer game. You need to tell the whole truth about yourself in this game.

You will need:

- printed tickets with questions and answers for the game (download them from the link below, print them out on a printer and cut them so that there is only one question or one answer on one narrow strip),

- two opaque gift bags. Put the questions in one bag and the answers in the other.

How to play:

The first player pulls out one strip with a question from the bag with questions and reads it aloud to the player sitting to his left. The second player pulls out his answer to this question from the answer bag.

Very funny combinations often turn out. We have this game going through several circles, because everyone really likes it.

In this game, children can help adults by pulling strips from bags. Many kids do it with great pleasure.

Action 4. Baba-Yaga's riddle.

For completing tasks, we receive help from Baba Yaga. Like this one:

In our case, we hid the letter under the largest flower in the house (the rose). Under the flower - a cart - a wheelchair. There was a note under the gurney. So we came up with this riddle:

“Find the biggest tree in the whole area (meaning in the apartment). Under the tree is a magical item. It contains 4 skewers, 2 sticks and 1 bed. Today he is here, tomorrow he is there. Under this item you will find a helper.

And you can come up with your own riddle. Here riddle form, in which you yourself can fill the frame -

Action 5. We get an assistant and a hint in our hands.

In our agreed place of the apartment (under our cart with a large rose) we find an assistant - a hint. It contains another mystery. And in it is a clue about where Santa Claus is hidden by Koshchei and our happiness in the coming year.

The riddle is complicated: “There are blue flowers on an iron flower bed - they help to cook any food.” If the players do not guess, then below there is a riddle - a hint, from which it is immediately clear that the hot country is ... in our kitchen! Next to the stove or in the stove! Let's go there!

(My husband and I thought for a long time where to hide the gifts - and decided that the hot country is clearly only a stove, more precisely, an oven. We came up with the riddle ourselves).

Action 6. We save Santa Claus and find New Year's happiness.

We come to the kitchen and find there another sheet with tasks. It turns out that Santa Claus is guarded by security. And we need to speak her teeth to save them. We play tongue twisters - “we speak the teeth of the guard”, at the same time we find out and discuss what this expression of the Russian language means (to distract the interlocutor with extraneous conversations). You can take any tongue twisters for this game. We had these this year.

After passing through the security, we find ourselves at the stove. And we find in it a bag with a toy Santa Claus and gifts, as well as another bag called "New Year's Happiness".

What is this bag of happiness - I'll tell you more. It contains New Year's wishes. Each wish is printed on a piece of paper. A sheet of paper is wrapped several times (as a result, a dense lump of 2-3 cm is obtained) and packed in corrugated colored paper (like in a bag). The pouch is tied with a gold narrow ribbon. Everyone pulls out their bag, unties it and reads out what they have for a wish for the new year.

Wishes can be different - you can find them on the Internet and change them a little - rhyme for your family.

For example:

Wish 1. “Many incidents await you
And interesting trips -
On courses, on vacation, abroad -
Where will fate decide!

Wish 2. “You have to, my friend, and henceforth
Burn with creative work.
But you won't burn your wings,
Take care of your health!”

Wish 3. “Your hairstyle, appearance
We will all be pleasantly surprised.
Since then you will continue
Everything is prettier and younger!”

Scenario of the family new year number 2.

If you are going to visit, it will be difficult to fully implement the first scenario without prior preparation. But that doesn't mean games are cancelled. You can play different games right at the table.

What can be done at a home holiday away:

- play in question and answer game(see description and download file above).

- Also play the games described above: "Bullshit", "Guess: a journey through the countries" and in "Riddles - snags". For the correct answer in each of these games, we give chips to each player who said the correct answer. If five people answered unanimously correctly, then we give an encouraging chip to each of the five. At the end of the game, we count the chips. Whoever scored the most chips - he gets the right to be the first to take a bag of happiness and read out a wish from it aloud so that it comes true.

- play a game Activity (ready desktop - print game).

- play in games "Convolution", "Changeling", "Win-win lottery". We played these games last New Year, so we didn’t repeat ourselves. And you can read about these and other fun games with guests at a family holiday in the article

I wish you all a happy New Year and Christmas holidays! And let the games on family New Year's Eve bring joy, creative ideas to your home, unite your family and strengthen it!

Evgenia Trussenkova

The moral attitude is hammered into children from a young age by adults. Adults made a holiday for children with a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, gifts, and other attributes of the New Year. It has always been considered a family holiday. But the children begin to grow up, having reached the turn of the transitional age, they, having fledged, begin to fly out of the nest. And celebrate this holiday with your peers. Because this holiday can bring knowledge of the opposite sex. That is, they hope that their dreams will come true, because although the parents of those where the holiday is held categorically forbid the use of alcoholic beverages or know when to stop: well, there is a little beer, Champagne or something else, young people do not know when to stop. They consider themselves adults and therefore sometimes all sorts of incidents happen.

But I'm actually not talking about that, namely the New Year's holiday. So, the life of young people goes on, they entered some educational institutions, go to work. Naturally, they celebrate all sorts of New Year holidays and so on with their peers, so as not to be white crows in a black flock. Of course, on the afternoon of the 1st, houses will appear and I will celebrate the New Year with my relatives, but it will not be the same. However, mommy and daddy understand perfectly well, especially if they remember that they were exactly the same at their age. And if they don’t remember, he starts to get angry and pronounce it is necessary to explain to them that they are behaving incorrectly, that they should remember how young they were.

But time goes by, young people fall in love, get married, get married and create their own families. And when they have children, to whom they make the same New Year's holiday, they suddenly understand about their parents that once their parents made this holiday for them. And here begins the concept of perception and awareness that this holiday should be celebrated in the family. However, there is a contradiction here. Each of the halves has their own mothers and fathers. They may have an argument about this. To which of them to go for the New Year. As an option, when relatives of one live in one city, while the other half live far away. Here they will not argue. They will not go to hell in the middle of nowhere. Moreover, now any trip costs a lot of money. The couple, most likely, will go to their nearest relatives and fulfill their filial and filial duty - they will celebrate this holiday, which is considered related to the family on New Year's Eve.

There may be another option: the young will invite their parents to them both from that side and from this one, after all, it is a more convenient option because going to adults to invite others is somehow not comme il faut. That is, the essence still remains, the whole family also celebrates the New Year together. This is good? I think even very. It is possible, of course, that they will still go to relatives living far away, but for this they will have to choose a certain time for the trip there and back, for a visit to them and other problems, so this is a little like reality. Now, if they go in the summer, then it's a completely different matter.

What option can be a meeting of the New Year? Apartment travel. Yes, this is exactly the method I suggested to my ex-spouse. We began a journey throughout our relatives, first we went to mine, stayed for two or three hours, then went to his sister and her husband. The company is just more suitable for our age. My sister is a little younger, and her husband is our age, we sat somewhere almost until the Moscow New Year, and then we called a taxi and went to his relatives with my sister and her husband, and we stayed there until the morning. In the morning my husband said that this should become a tradition, as we started the voyage this year and we will spend the next one. However, the tradition was not destined to come true, but that's another story.

Celebrating the New Year with your family at home is your best idea for the upcoming holiday. A joint celebration, no doubt, will bring that same warmth to relationships in your little home world. In addition, the coming year is the best time for change. New Year's Eve with the family will be surrounded by a fairy tale, and for this you will not need to spend a lot of effort.

Start, for example, with the surroundings. It is impossible to imagine a holiday without the spicy aroma of mulled wine, the delicate smell of pine needles, the impatient hiss of champagne in elegant glasses ... The second important point is gifts. Let them be made from the heart. Don't buy things you're not sure about. The third component of success, if you decide to spend the New Year at home with friends, is the image. Take care of the aesthetics in detail: let the reflection in the mirror be a happy revelation for you. And of course, the entertainment part of the evening. In this review, we have selected for you a number of games that will delight all family members, regardless of age.

1. "What's in the box?"

All participants sit in a circle. The main object that you need to prepare for the game in advance is a beautifully decorated box with all sorts of things: funny items of clothing and accessories (large flowered family shorts, a Papuan bag skirt, funny glasses with a nose, etc.). The box to the music is passed in a circle. Whoever has it in their hands, when the music stops, will have to pull out their “fashionable little thing” and walk around in it all evening, amusing the guests.

2. "Apple"

The competition is ideal for holiday guests of all ages. Guests stand in a circle, tightly pressing their shoulders and sides to each other. The leader in the center of the circle watches the participants, and they, in turn, pass an apple behind their backs. For the entourage, you can turn on the music. When she stops, you need to ask the host: “Who has the apple now?” If he guessed wrong, the process continues. And if you guessed right, the presenter and the one who had the apple change places.

3. "Fairy tale"

A calm but extremely funny game that is perfect for New Year's Eve or any family evening. The essence of the competition is to compose a fairy tale. The facilitator can set the topic and the main characters, and the participants in turn must write several sentences on a piece of paper that develop the plot of the story. Each new sentence is folded so that it is not seen by the subsequent narrator. After everyone has contributed (even several times, if there are few people), the leaf is unfolded and read aloud what happened. As a rule, incredibly funny fairy tales come out.

4. "Wish"

A very good family game for the New Year holidays. Participants sit in a circle (it is possible at the table), and each in turn (clockwise) tells the neighbor on the left some pleasant or funny wishes for the next year.

It is better to seat the participants so that the children sit next to the grandparents, and the spouses sit in different places. In the wishes, you can take into account the profession or type of activity of the addressee, so that the wishes are relevant and funny.

5. Caterpillar

A mobile game for a large company. The caterpillar is all participants who hold each other by the belt and squat down. The host announces what the caterpillar should do: “The caterpillar woke up, stretched, went to eat, dances, climbs a tree (sofa, stairs) ...”

In order for the caterpillar to be good at following commands, it is important to act in a coordinated manner and listen to each other. Therefore, to add a spark to the game, the caterpillar must have a naughty tail that interferes with everyone. Usually the youngest in the family is appointed to this role.

6. “In a large family, they don’t click their beaks”

The game is a synthesis of the "Box" and the competition with chairs. You will need all sorts of funny New Year's attributes, which will be one less than the participants. All items are laid out on the table, music begins to play, the participants dance. When the music stops, players must run to the table as quickly as possible, grab one attribute, and put it on. Those who did not have enough things are eliminated from the game, taking with them any of the items.
