To make New Year’s Eve eventful and fun, and for your guests to remember it for a long time, write out the holiday scenario in advance, thinking through every detail - the feast, congratulations, gift giving, and of course, don’t forget about fun competitions and games that will charge you and your guests with positivity and won't let you get bored.

New Year's party competitions

2:82

If you decide to add funny competitions to your list of New Year's entertainment, take note of one piece of advice: to ensure that your fun goes off with a bang, choose the right moment when to start the sports and entertainment program.

2:532 2:537

Guests who are too sober may simply not decide to indulge in your non-standard entertainment, and guests who are fairly tipsy simply will not be able to do anything even with a strong desire.

2:862 2:867

Therefore, remember the following algorithm: As soon as the second toast is voiced and the glasses are raised, you can safely offer your guests table games. After another portion of salad, get out from the table and start playing more active games; Well, when you listen to the president’s congratulations, and the chimes notify you of the coming of the New Year, go out and frolic on the street.

2:1576

2:4

Another tip: include as few “alcoholic” competitions as possible in your entertainment program, otherwise you will not realize even half of your plans.

2:298 2:303

3:811 3:816

1. Table entertainment

3:876 3:881

"Letters"

3:904 3:909

Prepare cards with letters of the alphabet in advance. Guests will need to take turns drawing letter cards. The word that will denote a wish for the coming new year addressed to all invitees should begin with the letter depicted on the blank. For example, the letter “S” - I wish you a “Fabulous salary” or the letter “N” - I wish you an “Unforgettable trip”.

3:1590

3:4 3:9

"Hat of Wishes"

3:47 3:52

Prepare small pieces of paper and writing utensils (pens, markers) in advance. Each guest receives one piece of paper, on which he must write down his wish for the next year. After that, all the pieces of paper are placed in a hat (cap) and mixed. Next, each guest pulls out one “wish” at random. However, not all so simple!

3:675

In addition to the fact that the guest must boast about what wish he has and will definitely come true in the next goal, he must, showing imagination and ingenuity, explain how “someone else’s wish” can fit into his life. It will be interesting to watch how, for example, a young lady will get out of it when she discovers a simple “male” desire on her piece of paper: “I want an inflatable boat and fishing gear.”

3:1411 3:1416 3:1421

"Home Lottery"

3:1465 3:1470

Prepare simple little surprises in advance and put them in small bags (boxes), for example, sweets, small souvenirs, stationery, toys. Attach a ticket number to each bag. You can make the lottery tickets themselves from New Year's cards, on which your wishes and congratulations will be written.

3:2111 3:4 3:9

"Never in my life"

3:50 3:55

Do you want to know a little more about your friends, then this game is for you. The essence of the game is as follows: players take turns saying a phrase like: “I have never scuba dived” or “I have never swam in a fountain,” etc. After which the guests, who nevertheless brought the said situation to life, drink a glass of “hot” drink. However, a person can refuse, but in this case he simply drops out of the game. You, as the organizer, should make sure that the piles are small and the temperature of the drink does not go too high!

2. Games at home

4:38 4:43

"Fashionable Christmas tree"

4:79 4:84

Divide your guests into several teams and announce the task: using the means at hand, decorate your “Christmas tree”. One of the players in each team acts as a “Christmas tree”. Guests, trying to dress up their “forest beauty” as brightly and creatively as possible, can use whatever they can get their hands on as “decorations”. The team that has the most beautiful and elegant “Christmas tree” wins. During the competition (and not only this!) be sure to take photographs and you will have something to remember and look at later!

4:1064 4:1069 4:1074

"In pairs"

4:1102 4:1107

Guests who have expressed a desire to take part in this competition are divided into pairs, after which the participants in pairs must hug each other around the waist, while each has only one hand free. While in a rather uncomfortable position, guests perform your tasks, for example, buttoning a shirt or tying their shoes, wrapping a gift or cutting vegetables for a New Year's salad.

4:1843

4:4 4:11

"The most friendly"

4:49 4:54

Divide the guests into two teams and give each a long satin ribbon. The players will have to demonstrate, not in words, but in deeds, which of the teams is the most friendly and united. Guests “bind” themselves with a ribbon, passing it through their clothes (women through the sleeves, men through the trouser legs). The team that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

4:723 4:728 4:733

"For the winter"

4:765 4:770

For this competition, prepare warm clothes (the more, the better!), warm socks, sweaters, mittens, scarves, jackets, etc. will do. Participants need to put on as many wardrobe items as possible in a short time (until the presenter says “STOP!”). After the “models” put on their clothes, they will have to go out into the street in a similar (strange to say the least!) form and, meeting the first person they meet, congratulate him on the New Year.

4:1573

5:510 5:515

3. STREET FUN

5:560 5:565

"Comedians"

5:598 5:603

The task is a statement. Participants role-play the well-known song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.” Someone will get the role of a “furry-legged horse”, someone will play a “gray bunny” or an “angry wolf”, and someone will try on the role of Santa Claus himself.

5:1082 5:1087 5:1092

"Snow Massacre"

5:1134 5:1139

A circle is drawn in the snow. Players in pairs will try to push each other outside the designated circle. However, there is one condition - you cannot use your hands in the “fight”, and in order to avoid the temptation to break the rules, the players will have to clasp their hands behind their backs. The winner is the one who managed to push the opponent out of the circle without releasing his arms.

NEW YEAR COMPETITIONS

6:568 6:573

"The Secret from Santa Claus"

6:625 6:630

The organizer of the holiday hides prizes in the room in advance (according to the number of guests) and writes places on small pieces of paper (one on each sheet). But he doesn’t just write, he writes in the form of a rebus.

6:1008

The more cunning the organizer, the more complex he will come up with the puzzle, which will be more interesting for solving it. We carefully or simply fold all the notes beautifully and hang them on the Christmas tree.

6:1315

During the holiday, the organizer invites guests to choose any envelope they like, remove it from the tree and invite them to look for their prize.

6:1583

Everyone will receive a prize, so no one will be offended or deprived of the gift.

6:130 6:135

Competition "Surprise"

6:189 6:194

We distribute identical pieces of paper and pens to each participant. Half of the participants write the name of the thing (chair, table, salad, coffee, whatever), and the other half writes the action, what they would do with this object. All the notes are thrown into two bags, mixed and the participants take out one leaf from each bag, divide into pairs without looking at the notes. The pair of participants who come up with the funniest combination wins.

6:958 6:963 6:970

Wish fulfillment competition

6:1034 6:1039

Participants write one wish for any other participant, roll it up and throw it into a ball. He inflates it and throws it into the general pile of balls. Several participants are called, choose any ball, burst it and must fulfill the desired wish.

6:1492

It is very important that the desire is funny. The one who completes the task funniest than the rest will win.

6:1668

6:4

And this is just a small part of the competitions that you can come up with. The main thing is that everyone will receive prizes and a charge of cheerful mood on New Year's Eve!

Competitions from Valentina Khlopko

Father Frost

7:883

In the house where the party is celebrated, a Santa Claus bag is hung. Each guest brings a small gift or souvenir to the party and so that no one sees this item, puts it in a bag... When all the guests have already gathered and the New Year has arrived, the bag will probably already be filled with gifts. Some of the guests dress up as Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, and take turns taking out New Year's gifts for each (who gets one at random), after listening to a poem, song or other task from Father Frost.

7:1816

Crocodile or "Associations"

7:60

The company is divided into two teams. One of the teams comes up with a word or catchphrase, calls any member of the other team and whispers what they have planned to them. He, with the help of gestures (and only) must show this word so that his team guesses it. You can make it more difficult by setting a limited time for explanations.

7:637 7:642 7:647

Alarm

7:674

When meeting guests at the entrance, everyone is given a note indicating the task and the time when it needs to be completed. It will be funny when at one o’clock in the morning someone suddenly starts singing “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, and at two o’clock one of the guests starts reciting a poem!

7:1138 7:1143

Fanta

7:1163

Each participant writes down a fun task, folds the piece of paper and puts it in a bag. Players take turns taking out forfeits and doing what is written in them. Forfeits for the New Year are the best way to cheer up the company. The main thing is that the tasks compiled are original, with humor, for example: confess your love to Santa Claus, dance an African tribal dance, depict a blinking garland with facial expressions, perform an erotic dance with Santa Claus’ staff, etc. A lot of laughter is guaranteed!

7:2065

Speech:

New Year is a time of fortune telling

7:62 7:67

To do this, you need to inflate balloons in advance, in which you put a humorous prediction, for example: “A star in the constellation Partridge will be named after you” or “You will be adopted by the President of Honduras.” Each guest chooses a ball and reads the prediction out loud.

7:677 7:682

Remembering what will have to guide us in the coming year, we invite guests to say the usual, familiar text of the proverb instead of the one that sounds:

7:367

1. They don’t discuss the gift, do they accept what they give? (They do not look at a given horse's teeth).
2. You need to learn throughout your life, every day brings new knowledge, knowledge is endless. (Live and learn!)
3. If you take on something, see it through to the end, even if it’s difficult!
(Took hold of the tug, don’t say it’s not hefty!)
4. Trouble and disaster usually happen where something is unreliable and fragile.
(Where it’s thin, that’s where it breaks)
5. How you treat others is how they will treat you. (As it comes back, so will it respond)
6. Don't take on unfamiliar tasks. (If you don't know the ford, don't stick your nose into the water)

7:1424

Guess who we're talking about!

7:1470 7:1475

And every insect, every animal has its own motto. Invite guests to guess which one they have:
1. Parrot - “Repetition is the mother of learning!”
2. Kangaroo - "Keep your pocket wider!"
3. Crocodile - “Tears cannot help my grief!”
4. Locust - "Alone in the field is not a warrior!"
5. Caterpillar - “Keep in step!”

Sorry I didn't write.
In these two weeks I
Walked half of Europe.

7:731

7:380

The number of participants in these competition games is two or more people. They are capable of causing excitement among both players and spectators. They can be used at home at any festive event, be it a birthday, or just a get-together, at a picnic, and even at work during lunch break.

These games (Spinning the Bottle, checkers, roulette and many others) are for very adults. They will definitely amuse your friends and add variety to friendly gatherings.

"Flight of the card." Game of skill

What you need to play:

• cards
• a wastebasket (a shoebox, or even a hat).

At a distance of 2-3 meters from the line (from where you need to throw cards), place a shoebox or hat, or a waste paper basket. The presenter hands each player 5 cards and writes down their names. Standing behind the line (beyond the threshold) and WITHOUT CROSSING the border, each player tries to throw his cards into the box one at a time.

To begin with, a training round is conducted. If someone leans so far that they lose their balance and step over the line (threshold), their throw is NOT DEFENDED. Naturally, the winner is the one who manages to throw the most cards.

Jam jars

It’s also a game of skill, but also a test of patience.

What you need to play:

• 6 jam jars
• 6 tennis balls.

A couple of players are competing. 6 cans are placed close together on the floor. Each player receives 3 tennis balls and tries to throw them into the jars, standing on a pre-marked line (about 2-3 meters). This turns out to be not so simple. These balls are really bouncy!

Umbrella game

A duel between two players.

What you need to play:

• 2 sticks
• 2 glasses
• scotch

Attach a glass to the end of the stick (use a twist-off holder for a mop or brush) with tape and fill it full with water (for fun they are called “umbrellas”).

2 people stand opposite each other and hold these umbrellas behind their backs by the very end. One of them asks a question, the second answers and takes 3 steps forward and 3 steps back, trying not to spill water. Then the second one asks a question to the first one. After 3 pairs of questions and answers, the game ends and the results are summed up: whoever has the most water gets 3 points; witty questions and worthy answers are also scored.

Collect an article

What you need to play:

• photocopies of a funny article by number of participants
• and the same number of envelopes.

The presenter makes several photocopies of the same article and cuts each photocopy line by line and puts each article in a separate envelope. Envelopes are distributed to all players and they must assemble an article from the lines. Whoever does it faster is the winner.

Cheerful handkerchief

What you need to play: a handkerchief.

The presenter throws a handkerchief. While he is flying everyone should laugh, as soon as he falls everyone should be silent. Whoever laughs is out.

I…

All players say: "I". To anyone who laughs, the presenter adds some funny, stupid, amusing word. And this player already says two words. In the end, the players’ remarks can be like this: “I’m a watermelon clunker jumping under the bridge...” In short, any kind of gobbledygook.

Lunch blind

What you need to play:

• blindfolds according to the number of guests.

Everyone sits down at a fully set table, only forks are missing. Everyone is blindfolded. Now they must eat themselves and feed each other.

Eat chocolate

This game is suitable for friendly get-togethers between best friends or a pajama party. The main thing is to wrap the chocolate in many layers of newspaper or wrapping paper, and each of them must be wrapped with thread, without tying it. On the table on the cutting board lies a chocolate bar, wrapped in several layers of paper and tied with thread (each layer). There is a fork and knife nearby, and on the chair there is a hat, scarf and gloves. Players roll the dice and whoever gets a “six” puts on a hat, scarf and gloves and tries to use a knife and fork to get to the chocolate bar and eat it. Meanwhile, the rest of the players continue to throw the dice and whoever also gets a “six” takes the scarf, hat and gloves from the first player and continues what he started. The game continues until the chocolate bar is eaten (players eat a small piece of it).

Tell me a poem

What you need to play:

• walnuts or large round candies.

Before starting the game, you need to remember a well-known poem. After this, you need to read these verses in turn with nuts (sweets) behind both cheeks. The phrases of the poem are quite funny. If the audience guesses the poem, the participant wins.

Comic concert

The players portray orchestra musicians, each plays some kind of “instrument”, including the leader. Suddenly the driver throws down his “instrument” and begins to play on the “instrument” of any player, who must quickly begin to “play” on the “instrument” of the driver. Whoever hesitates pays forfeit

Piggy bank

What you need to play:

• trifle
• capacity.

Each person is given a handful of change (the more, the better). Some container (for example, a three-liter glass jar) is placed at a distance of about 4-5 meters from the players. Players are invited to transfer coins into a jar, holding them between their legs and covering the distance separating them from the treasured “piggy bank”. The winner is the one who carries all the small change and spills the least amount on the floor.

Box with a surprise

What you need to play:

• box
• any thing.

The game is very fun and unpredictable, which makes it funny for both players and spectators. To the music, guests pass each other a box with a surprise. When the music stops, the person who has the box in his hands takes out of the box (DO NOT LOOK) the first thing he comes across and puts it on himself (and must not take it off, for example, until the end of the game or 1 hour, or until the end of the evening).

This could be a bib, a bonnet (cap, cap), huge panties or bra, a nightgown, etc. The competition is usually very fun, because everyone tries to get rid of the box as quickly as possible, and any thing taken out of it makes everyone else very happy .

Blow Me Out Race

A couple of players are competing.

What you need to play:

• 2 pipettes
• 2 feathers
• 2 tissue paper circles (diameter 2.5 cm)
• rolled into cones.

Everyone receives a pipette and a feather. The player's task is to move his feather from one edge of the smooth table to the other, using for this purpose the air coming out of the pipette when pressed. Do not touch the feather with the pipette. The winner is the one who is the first to send his feather across the entire table.

What's behind there?

Duel between 2 players.

What you need to play:

• 2 pictures
• 2 numbers drawn on paper.

Attach clear pictures to the players’ backs (for example, a picture of a hare, an airplane, a duck) and numbers (from 10 to 10) drawn on circles. Now each of them, standing on one leg, holds the other bent at the knee with his hand.

At the signal, starting to jump on one leg in this position, both try to see the picture and number on the back of the other. The one who manages to do this first wins. You cannot stand on the other leg!

Agility on feet

Another duel for two.

What you need to play:

• chalk to draw circles
• 2 ropes to mark these circles.

Two people stand in drawn circles (the diameter of the circle is 36-40 cm to fit 2 feet), located half a meter from one another. Each player stands in his circle on his left foot. And with his right foot, everyone tries to move his opponent from his place. The loser is the one who either touched the ground with his right foot, or jumped out of the circle, or fell and touched another player with his hand.

Writing on the go

Competition for several participants from 2 or more.

What you need to play:

• A sheet of paper and a pen (pencil) for each participant.

All players line up in one line. Everyone receives a piece of paper and a pen. Who will reach the finish line faster and at the same time write a certain phrase legibly as they go?

Two Minute Walk

All participants line up in one line. The presenter notes the time and gives a signal to move. Everyone moves towards the opposite wall (or a pre-marked line), trying to touch it exactly 2 minutes after the start of the movement. The presenter notices and records the time of arrival of each player. The one whose time is closer to two minutes wins.

Hidden objects

The game requires attention.

What you need to play:

• 15−20 different items
• a list of these items.

Participants in the game receive lists containing 15-20 items hidden throughout the house, and the presenter arranges these items in advance so that they can be seen without rearranging or rearranging other things. Players walk around the house and, having discovered an item, they write its location on the list and move on without touching the hidden item. The winner is the one who is the first to hand over to the presenter the lists with the correctly indicated location of the items.

Bell ringer

The game is suitable for both children and adults; you can play it indoors, on a picnic or at any family event.

What you need to play: a bell.

A bell or several bells are hung around the “ringer’s” neck and his hands are tied behind his back so that he cannot hold the bells. Everyone else blindfolds themselves and tries to catch the “ringer,” who tries to move carefully between them so that the bell does not ring. Everyone is very happy when they catch, but not the right one.

Thieves

The game is suitable for any company, for any holiday.

What you need to play:

• newspaper
• a set of “treasures” or prizes.

The driver sits on the floor blindfolded. In front of him he laid out “treasures” (brooches, beads, bracelets...) or small prizes. He has a rolled up newspaper in his hands. The players are positioned around the driver at a distance of 1-1.5 meters. They take turns trying to steal his “treasures,” and the driver listens and tries to hit the approaching player with a newspaper. If he succeeds, the “thief” returns to his place empty-handed. The player who takes away the most “treasures” wins.

Free your friend

The age of the players is from 12 years.

What you need to play:

• rope
• blindfold.

A “friend” sits on one chair with his hands and feet tied, and a guard sits next to him with a blindfold. At some distance, the rest of the players sit around on chairs. The players try to free their "friend". The guard LISTENS and tries to prevent this from happening, if he touches any player, he is out of the game. Whoever manages to free the prisoner becomes a guard next time.

Musical falls

Everyone moves to the music, as soon as it stops the players must sit on the floor (Before starting the game, it is necessary to agree that you need to sit on the floor completely so that your buttocks touch the floor).

The presenter, in order to confuse the players, turns on slow music, then fast music, or leaves some melody for a long time, or short excerpts, and can change the volume. If someone makes a mistake and sits down, he leaves the game. If the last two players are tied, then to determine the winner faster, you can ask them to close their eyes.

Balloon volleyball

Everyone sits opposite each other, (at a distance of 1 meter) a rope is stretched between them. Teams play volleyball, but you can't get up from your seat. If you don’t catch the ball, it’s a penalty; someone gets up from their chair – a penalty point. The team with the fewest penalty points wins.

For this game you need to give everyone paper and a pen. The presenter needs to prepare questions in advance, the answer to which involves a number. Guests write their favorite number on their sheets of paper; you can have several numbers for several games at once.

Afterwards, the host asks everyone a question, and the guest answers by calling the number written on the piece of paper. Questions could be:

"Cryptographers"

Here are some New Year's entertainments for the company, various table games and competitions that will help you practice ingenuity and creative thinking. One of them is an “encryptor”.
For this game, everyone is given an abbreviation: “MVD”, “VVP”, “Housing and Communal Services”, “VVS”, “VDV”, “OGRN”, “IP”, “IO”, “MVD”, “FSB” and so on. They can be written on special signs in advance.

This abbreviation must be deciphered in the form of a New Year's toast or congratulations. It should be fun and funny. For example, decryption options could be:

1. “BBC” - Happy New Year to all of you!
2. “Ministry of Internal Affairs” - Youth, Inspiration, Money for everyone in the New Year!

The most interesting options can be awarded with a prize.

"Guess yourself"

This game was recently borrowed from the Americans. It requires special caps on the head in the form of a thick paper ring, on which is attached a picture of any living creature (boy or girl, famous person, movie or cartoon characters) or object.

Everyone puts on such a hat without seeing what they have in the picture. Afterwards, in turn, everyone guesses themselves, asking everyone simple questions that can only be answered “Yes” or “No.”

For example:

1. Am I a living being?
2. Am I an object?
3. Do I have 4 legs?
4. Do I have wool?
5. Do I have eyes?
6. Can I speak?
7. Am I famous?
8. Am I funny?

These questions should narrow down the guesswork and lead to a solution. Everyone will have fun, both those who guess and those who help.

"Pitchfork"

Each player, in turn, is blindfolded, given a fork, and any item is placed on the plate in front of him. Using a fork, feeling the object, the player must guess what is in front of him. He can ask simple questions that require a “Yes” or “No” answer. Eg:

1. Is it oval shaped?
2. Is this item for personal care?
3. Is this a food product?
4. Is it green?
5. Does it open?

With the help of these questions and answers to them, and by feeling the object, the player guesses, everyone has fun.

"Confessions"

Each player takes turns pulling out a piece of paper with a written feeling. He must convey this feeling to his neighbor without words. This is how they play in circles.

Feelings may be:

Love;
sympathy;
attraction;
hatred;
irritation;
despondency;
indifference;
disgust;
danger;
anxiety.

It is important to convey the feeling without a single word, so that the neighbor can guess it.

"Associations"

The presenter calls the word into the player's ear so that everyone else does not hear. The player leaves the table and shows this word with gestures, facial expressions and postures. The rest are guessing. The one who guessed right shows the word next, and the previous player guesses the word in his ear.

You can set a theme for the game, for example: “New Year”, “Love”, “Happiness”, “Cinematography” and so on. Or play with any words, without restrictions.

The game can be made easier if the player leaves the table and shows the word while standing. The next stage will be a more complex option - you need to show the word while sitting at the table, only with your hands and facial expressions.

Hippie style toast

For this game, signs with written styles are made and distributed to each guest. The host makes a toast. Guests must take turns making a toast in the given style. Styles can be as follows:

1. Hippie.
2. Disco.
3. Vamp.
4. Glamor.
5. Rap.
6. Congratulations from the President.
7. Congratulations to a foreigner.
8. Toast from grandma.
9. Congratulations to the child.

The styles can be anything, even imitating the voice of any famous character, if the campaign has such talent. Here you can split into teams and get some time to prepare. It’s good if the props are prepared: hats, wigs, glasses, and so on.

"Greedy"

For this game you need to fill a large bowl with coins. Give all players smaller bowls and spoons. On command, everyone begins to scoop coins into their bowl with spoons. Music plays during the game. The game ends when the music stops. The one who is richest wins. The competition can be complicated by offering guests not spoons, but sushi chopsticks.

"Experience or intuition"

This game is suitable for men's groups, where they drink vodka and are not afraid to get drunk. Three glasses with a clear drink are placed in front of the player. Two of them contain vodka, the third contains water. The player does not know which drink is which. He is offered to drink vodka and wash it down with water. That is, he must choose a glass of vodka, drink it, and then choose a glass of water and drink it. You have to try to guess, although it’s not that easy.

"New Year's lottery"

This game needs to start as soon as the guests arrive. Everyone is given numbers. Afterwards, during the event, they bring out a bag with gifts, where all the gifts are numbered. The presenter randomly pulls gifts out of the bag and announces their number. The gift is taken by the guest who has the corresponding number. In this case, you can ask the guest to recite a poem, sing a song or make a toast.

“And in my pants...”

Comic entertainment for an adult company. You need to prepare pants, drawn or sewn. First, guests write down the name of their favorite movie on a piece of paper. Afterwards, the host gives the guests their panties. Guests take turns passing them around and saying: “And in my pants...” This is followed by the name of the film that is written on the piece of paper.

The result is funny, for example:

1. And I have “Bald Mountain” in my pants.
2. And I have “Attraction” in my pants.
3. And I have “War of the Worlds” in my pants.

This game is played cheerfully, under the influence of alcohol, and everyone laughs a lot.

“Sweet tooth at the speech therapist”

Those interested are chosen for this game. They are given bowls of caramel. You need to put a caramel in your mouth and say the phrase “The speech therapist has a sweet tooth.” With each hand, the game becomes more complicated and another caramel is sent into the players’ mouths.

"Tell someone else"

For the game, prepare an ordinary button. You need to pass this button on the tip of your finger to your neighbor without dropping it. Another option would be to pass the tangerine by holding it under your chin.

Comic competition “Why did you come?”

At the beginning of the game, the presenter gives each player prepared answers on pieces of paper. They should be funny and answer the question “Why did you come here?” The answers could be the following:

1. Eat delicious food for free.
2. Stay overnight for free.
3. Drink for free.
4. There is nothing to eat at home.
5. There is no light at home and the TV doesn’t work.
6. I'm afraid to sit alone at home.

10. To eat your signature salad.
11. Get drunk.
12. I mixed up the address.
13. It’s warmer here.

The answers can be different and funny, the main thing is to prepare them in advance.

"Fortune telling and horoscope"

Each guest writes on a piece of paper any five words that first came to his mind. Afterwards, the host announces that the guests must voice a prediction or horoscope for the coming year for their neighbor. Guests take turns reading the words from their piece of paper to their neighbor, saying the following phrase at the beginning: “The New Year is waiting for you” and then list the words from their list.
You can write phrases in the form adjective + noun. As directed by the presenter.

"Guess the melody"

For this competition you need to prepare by selecting negative soundtracks for popular songs. You can take only New Year's songs, or use any pop songs. Each guest is given flags or, more festively, pipes and whistles.

The presenter takes turns turning on the melody. As soon as the guest guesses the melody, he raises a flag or blows a pipe. Then he answers what the melody was.

"Toast by Alphabet"

Before drinking a glass of champagne for the coming year, all guests take turns making toasts and wishes. But not just like that, but according to the alphabet. You need to say a wish or a toast that begins with the next letter in the alphabet. The first says a wish that begins with the letter “A”, the second - with “B” and so on in a circle until the alphabet ends.

Requests may be as follows:

1. “Let’s drink to the New Year!”
2. “Be healthy and happy in the New Year!”
3. “Let’s drink to love!”
4. “Gentlemen, let us raise a glass to our health!”
5. "Let's have a drink!"
6. “If you celebrate the New Year cheerfully and carefree, then it will be successful and easy! Here's to good luck!

Toasts are made in this sequence by all guests until the last letter of the alphabet, after which they drink drinks.

Games and entertainment should be alternated with meals, the opportunity to simply chat, and dance. Choose a musical background for each game, props and prizes. Then your party will remain in memory and will bring a lot of good emotions to you and your friends.

The most fun contests for the New Year

I offer 6 fun competitions. With their help, you will cheer up the company, raise your spirits to the maximum, and make the holiday group more active.

1. “New Year's fishing”. You will need Christmas tree decorations made of cotton wool and a fishing rod with a large hook. Participants in the competition will have to take turns hanging New Year's toys on the street, and then remove them. The one who completes the task faster than others will win.
2. “Funny drawings”. On a large piece of cardboard, make two holes for the arms. Players will have to draw the Snow Maiden or Father Frost with a brush by putting their hands through the holes. They can't see what they're drawing. The prize will go to the author of the most successful masterpiece.
3. “Frosty Breath”. In front of each participant, place a large snowflake cut out of paper on the table. The task of each participant is to blow away a snowflake so that it falls on the floor on the other side of the table. The competition ends when the last snowflake hits the floor. The player who takes the longest to complete the task wins. It was all due to his frosty breath, because of which the snowflake “frozen” to the surface of the table.
4. “Dish of the Year”. Participants will have to prepare a dish using products from the New Year's table. A New Year's salad composition or a unique sandwich will do. Afterwards, a man sits in front of each participant, and all players are blindfolded. The “New Year's hostess” who feeds the dish to the man the fastest will win.
5. “New Year's melody”. Place bottles and a couple of spoons in front of the competition participants. They must take turns approaching the bottles and sing a melody with their spoons. The winner is the author of the most New Year's musical composition.

You can use items of clothing, jewelry, New Year's toys, and all kinds of cosmetics. Victory will go to the “stylist” who created the most unusual and striking image of the Snow Maiden.

The list doesn't end there. If you have imagination, you can come up with a good competition yourself. The main thing is to make it fun and bring smiles to the faces of participants and spectators.

New Year competitions for children and adults

A real holiday, in addition to noisy pastime at the table, includes short dance breaks, mass games and various competitions.

The New Year's celebration is aimed at a mixed audience, so choose New Year's competitions so that everyone can participate. After a half-hour feast, offer guests several musical and active competitions. Having thoroughly blurred and danced, they returned to eating New Year's salads.

I offer 5 interesting competitions for children and adults. I’m sure they will take their rightful place in the New Year’s entertainment program.

1. “Christmas trees”. Participants imagine that they are Christmas trees standing in the middle of the forest. The presenter says the Christmas trees are tall, low or wide. After these words, the participants raise their arms, squat or spread their arms. The player who makes a mistake is eliminated. The most attentive one wins.
2. “Dress up the Christmas tree.” You will need garlands, tinsel and ribbons. The Christmas trees will be women and girls. They hold the end of the garland in their hand. Male representatives decorate the Christmas tree, holding the second end of the garland with their lips. The winner is the couple who creates an elegant and beautiful Christmas tree.

They wrap the “lucky one” in toilet paper. The teams make sure that there are no gaps between the turns. The team that completes the task faster wins.
4. "Twins" . Couples participate. For example, mother and son, father and daughter. Participants hug each other around the waist with one hand. For two you will have two free hands. Afterwards the couple will have to cut out the figure. One participant holds the paper, the second wields scissors. The team that makes the most beautiful figure wins.

Instead of money, they put a tomato on the chair. The surprise of the participants will amuse the audience.

New Year's games for children

The main holiday of winter is New Year, accompanied by holidays, good mood and a lot of free time. When guests gather in the house, New Year's games for children will come in handy.

Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple group game will be exciting if you play with a friendly group. Children will especially enjoy the competitions, the victory of which will bring New Year's gifts.

1. “Tiger Tail”. Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. The first person in line is the head of the tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” strives to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the coupling. After some time, the children change places.
2. “Merry round dance”. An ordinary round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone, constantly changing the direction and speed of movement. After several circles, lead the round dance like a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.
3. "Journey" . Team play involves the use of blindfolds and pins. Place the pins in a “snake” pattern in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down the fewest pins wins the game.
4. “Compliment to the Snow Maiden”. Choose Snow Maiden. Then invite several boys who will compliment her. They have to take out pieces of paper with inscriptions from the bag and, based on the words written on them, express “warm words”. The player who voices the most compliments will win.
5. “Magic words”. Participants are divided into teams and given a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter is reading, there are words from these letters. When such a word is heard, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and line up in the required order. The team that is ahead of its opponents earns a point.
6. "What changed". Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. Then the children leave the room. Several toys are re-hung or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.
7. “Gift in a circle”. Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. Afterwards the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player who has a gift left is eliminated. At the end of the game, there will be one participant left who will receive this souvenir.

Ideas for the New Year

Waiting for a miracle is a tedious task; it is better to create it yourself. What to do? Imagine yourself as a wizard, look around, collect simple objects and create something soulful, shimmering, warm and extraordinary. You will need some free time.

1. “Christmas balls with fabric applique”. To make your Christmas tree stylish and original, you don’t have to buy expensive toys. You can create an exclusive design using cheap plastic balls without a pattern. Cut out identical motifs from an old scarf or a beautiful piece of fabric and paste them onto the surface of the balls.
2. “Orange Christmas tree toy”. You will need a few oranges, a beautiful fancy ribbon, a cute rope, and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Cut the oranges into slices and place them in the oven to dry. Tie a cinnamon stick with a string and tie it to an orange slice. Make a loop on top. The final touch is a bow tied to a loop.

Amazing snowflake

It's hard to imagine a New Year's holiday without a dozen playful snowflakes.

1. Use scissors to trim the ends of the toothpick. Use a paper cutter to make a small cut in the middle of one edge of the toothpick. This will be the main tool.
2. Make several paper blanks. The width of the strip is around three millimeters. The length is equal to the length of the sheet.
3. Create a spiral. Carefully insert the edge of the paper strip into the slot on the toothpick and twist it into a spiral. Twist the tool, not the paper. Make sure that the spiral is as even as possible. Remove the spiral and place it on the table.
4. Spread the edge of the strip twisted into a spiral with glue and press it against the spiral. Press the end lightly. You will get a droplet with a spiral inside. Make as many similar elements as possible.
5. The shape of the elements can be changed. During gluing, squeeze the element with your fingers, giving it a certain shape. This is how not only circles are created, but droplets and eyes.
6. Having prepared the required number of elements, begin to form the snowflake. Create a pattern from individual elements, fastening with a drop of glue. You will get an amazingly beautiful snowflake.

Perhaps my ideas for the New Year will seem too simple. If you do everything correctly, the result will be very beautiful, with minimal investment of time and money.

Ideas for the New Year with your family

2. Family traditions must be followed. This brings back childhood memories when parents tried to arrange a New Year's fairy tale.

"Question answer"
The rules of the competition are very simple. To begin, the questions and answers listed below must be written on cards of the same size. It is advisable to use thick paper or thin cardboard. You should end up with two identical decks: one with questions, the other with answers. And then everything is simple. Shuffle each deck thoroughly and place it in the center of the table. The first player takes the question card and reads it to his neighbor. He takes the card with the answer and reads the answer out loud. Then the person who answered the question asks his next neighbor, and so on in a circle. Even just a quick look at the list below can give you an idea of ​​the similarities there might be. What is it worth, for example: “Do you like swimming naked? “On Saturdays this is a necessity for me.” Or: “Tell me, do you like me? “When I’m drunk, and I’m always drunk!” It’s only advisable to sit down like this: guy - girl - guy - girl. Because when two guys sit next to each other, all the questions are like: “Do you like me?”, “Do you like to look into my eyes?” and even “What would you say if I kissed you now?” These guys come across it (repeatedly tested from my own experience). And what kind of answers they come across to this is generally “beyond the comprehension of the mind.”
