Merry New Year's contest “Who is longer”

Two teams are formed and each must lay out a chain of clothes, taking off everything they please. Whoever has the longer chain, that team won. If the game is not played in the company of the house, but, for example, in a square or in a club, then two participants are first selected, and when they don’t have enough clothes for the chain (after all, taking off their clothes, you must remain within the bounds of decency), then the hall is invited to help the participants, and anyone who wishes can continue the chain of the player they like.

New competition “Who is cooler”

The game is played by men. Eggs are placed on the plate according to the number of participants. The host announces that the players must take turns breaking one egg on their foreheads, but one of them is raw, the rest are boiled, although in fact all the eggs are boiled. The tension builds with each successive egg. But it is desirable that there be no more than five participants (they begin to guess that the eggs are all boiled). It's very funny.

Competition for the new year "Who is superfluous"

Competition - the game "Sector Prize"(new)

(from reader Maria)
The essence of the game: a box is being prepared, which contains either the prize itself, or a part of this prize. Only one player is selected, who is invited to choose: a prize or N amount of money (if there is no real money, money from a fun store, i.e. not real money, is fine as a replacement). And then it starts like on the TV program “Field of Miracles”, guests sitting nearby, friends, relatives, etc., shout “... a prize”, and the presenter offers to take the money (only in which case do not say that the money is from a joke store or otherwise the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The task of the presenter is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but the money has not bothered anyone yet, that you need to take it. The choice of a player can be made in different ways, whether it is a children's rhyme or according to some individual criteria. In order to make it interesting for all the guests, so that no one is offended (why they chose this or that player), you can play several prizes like this, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as mentioned earlier, you can not real money).

Competition for a company of adults

Hit the target!

Proven competition - bursting laughter and fun are guaranteed. The competition is more suitable for men-) Required for the competition: empty bottles, rope (for each participant about 1 meter long) and pencils.

A fun competition for the family “New Year's Turnip”

(This contest has stood the test of time, a great option for the New Year, fun will be guaranteed!)

The number of participants is according to the number of characters in this famous fairy tale plus 1 presenter. New actors need to remember their role:
Turnip - alternately beats his knees with his palms, claps his hands, at the same time says: “Both-on!”
Grandfather - rubs his hands: "Take-s".
Grandmother - threatens grandfather with her fist, says: “I would have killed!”
Granddaughter - (for a super-effect, select a man of impressive size for this role) - twitches her shoulders, says "I'm ready."
Bug - scratches behind the ear, says: "Fleas tortured"
Cat - shakes her hips "And I'm on my own"
Mouse - shakes his head "Finished!"
The host reads the classic text "Turnip", and the heroes, having heard the mention of themselves, play their role:
“Grandfather (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Oba-on”). Turnip grew up (“Both-on!”) ​​Big-very big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Oba-na!”) Pull. Pulls, pulls, can't pull. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) called Grandma (“I would have killed”) ... ”etc.
The most fun begins after the words of the presenter “Grandfather for the Turnip, Grandmother for Grandfather ...” First, conduct a rehearsal, and then the “performance” directly. Explosions of laughter and good mood secured!

A Christmas tree was born in the forest (musical scene, readers recommend)

We turn on the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, just as in “Turnip”, distribute the roles to the participants (it is recommended to write the roles on pieces of paper in advance and that the participants randomly choose a role for themselves: “Herringbone”, “Frost”, etc. ) and play this children's song to the music.
It looks very funny when adults get used to a children's song.

“Congratulation phrases”

The host reminds that New Year's Eve is in full swing, and some can hardly remember the last letter of the alphabet. Guests are invited to fill their glasses and make a New Year's toast, but with one condition. Each person present begins the congratulation phrase with the letter A, and then alphabetically.
For example:
A - Absolutely happy to drink for the New Year!
B - Be vigilant, the New Year is coming soon!
B - Let's drink to the ladies!
Especially fun when the game comes to G, F, P, S, b, b. The winner is the one who came up with the funniest phrase.

All this is desirable to do at a fairly fast pace, without giving breaks. The joke is that the second animal, which the leader says to the players in the ear, is the same for everyone - “KIT”. And when, after a minute or two after the start of the game, the host suddenly says: “Keith”, then everyone must inevitably sit down sharply - which leads to a long wallow on the floor. :-))

Whoever has a bag left in his hands, he pulls out one thing and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everything looks very funny.

“What do you like about neighbor”

Everyone sits in a circle and the host says that now everyone should say what he likes about his neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the host happily announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.

We remember pleasant events

Prepare a symbolic relay baton - any thing to pass it to each other.

The presenter with a "wand" in his hands, talks about the best event that took place in the outgoing year, and passes the baton to the participants of the evening. Unable to remember the joyful event, he is awarded the "Fortune's Favorite - 2019" award.

The festive relay race is a spiritual competition that allows you to defuse an awkward situation and spend the outgoing year with gratitude.

Game "Pig"

Cheerful fun, suitable for a noisy company. At the beginning of the competition, the host, in secret, calls the participants an animal. Then the guests stand in a circle and hold hands.

Now the host says the names of the animals aloud. The one whose animal has been named quickly sits down. Neighbors, right and left, are trying to stop him.

When the names of the animals are spoken, the facilitator declares: "We have practiced - now we are playing at full strength" and again secretly gives the players the names of the animals. True, now it is one for all - a piglet.

As a result, the guests, having heard the cherished word, at the same time sit down sharply and cannot stand on their feet. Entertainment perfectly improves mood and is suitable for the middle of a festive evening.

Get a wish

The competition will require advance preparation. Wishes for guests are written in advance on paper and placed in balloons. Separately, the names of parts of the human body (chin, foot, jaw, etc.) are indicated on the leaves and put notes in a hat.

At the party, those gathered take the balloons they like with a wish. To read the note, you will have to burst the ball, using the part of the body indicated in the sticker pulled out of his headgear.

Charging Santa Claus

The one who makes only one wrong move is out. The pace is gradually getting faster and Santa Claus is trying to confuse the participants.

As a result, places are awarded to players, and awards are given with funny titles.

Best Actor

The competition is a great opportunity for guests to show their acting skills by playing the symbol of the coming year - a pig. Everyone has their own image - “a sad little pig”, “mysterious Khavronya”, “annoyed pig”, etc. Guests are given pig ears and snouts prepared in advance. Part of the invited gets an honorable mission - to judge the "actors", as a jury.

Having started the competition, the guests communicate with each other in the manner they have been given. After the appointed time, the "jury members" determine the winner by secret ballot. The most artistic guest, in a solemn atmosphere, receives an Oscar.

Entertainment for children

Babies on new year holiday should be fun too. Offer them mobile and funny contests.

Snowball game

The participants are divided into two teams. They make snowballs from old newspapers and compete to see who is the most accurate. Members of both teams are placed one after the other. On the floor with colored tape indicate where you can not step.

Baskets are set behind the line, where participants will throw “snow shells”. Children take turns throwing snowballs, and the team with the most hits wins.

Competition "balls"

In the center of the hall, especially for the competition, they put a table. A light ball is placed in the middle of it. At different ends of the table there are participants - two people. They need to blow on the ball, moving it towards the opponent.

The contest lasts until the goal is reached. The winner receives an honorary prize. The competition can also be a team competition, where several guys participate, sending balls to the opponent in turn.

We decorate the Christmas tree

For the competition, prepare a couple of small real or artificial Christmas trees. There is an option, take two kids and make them Christmas trees.

Participants are divided into two groups and take plastic christmas toys on ropes. The goal is to decorate the "Christmas trees" with the largest number of New Year's attributes in 2 minutes.

Complicating the task, the "Christmas trees" are set a couple of meters from the participants. Children one after another run up to the "tree" to hang decorations on it.

New Year's tinsel

Two teams take part in the competition. They stand opposite each other, and each of the guys is given a tinsel in their hands.

The competition is held under a cheerful festive song. The first member of the team wraps the hand of the child following him with tinsel. And so - in a chain.

The task of the last player is to run up to the first and tie his hand with his tinsel. When everything is done, the team raises their hands up. The children who complete the task first are recognized as winners and receive prizes.

Table contests

For those who want to have fun without leaving the New Year's table, many contests have also been invented. They are able to provide the audience with a great mood, without requiring them to waste their energy.

Remembering the alphabet

Alphabet is a competition suitable for that part of the party when the invitees have had time to try treats and festive drinks and are ready to take an active part in the event. Glasses filled with champagne will come in handy and positive attitude participants.

The host complains that during the party he forgot the alphabet. Dear guests are able to help remember the letters. They take turns pronouncing festive toasts.

The first word starts with the letter "A". The second makes a speech with "B", and so on. For example:

  • “Why don’t we raise our glasses to the happiness of the audience?”
  • “Be happy in the coming 2019!”,
  • "I wish everyone good health good luck and more money.

The winner is the participant who uttered the most interesting and sincere wish.

Concert from a hat

For the competition, write in advance on the notebooks the words of the New Year theme (blizzard, snowman, Santa Claus, ice floe, etc.). These pieces of paper are folded into a "magic" hat of Santa Claus.

Everyone takes out a note and sings a song with the word he got. A good idea– include an arrangement found on the Web.

Gift bag

For the competition, you will need a package filled with holiday favors. The host addresses the person sitting to his right: “I was going to give it for a long time, but I couldn’t ...”. And he calls a comic reason - “he was abducted by aliens”, “greed interfered”, etc.

After that, without peeping, he takes out a present from the package and hands it over. The person who received the item takes the package in his hands and says similar words to the neighbor on the right. The funnier the reason that prevented you from giving a gift earlier, the better.

For adults

Adult entertainment at a New Year's Eve party often involves the use of alcohol. But for those who prefer to have fun without alcohol, many wonderful contests have been invented.

Drank - eat

Those invited are given two small sheets of paper. The word “drink” is written on the first, and “eat” is written on the second. Each guest writes a phrase, for example - “Drink from a vase”, “eat with pepper”. After the note, they hide it in two caps and take it out without looking, in turn.

Guess who?

New Year's cocktail

One of the guests is blindfolded with a thick cloth. Then, another contestant prepares a drink from what is on the festive table. The potion is given to a blindfolded guest to drink. His task is to guess what his festive cocktail is made of.

The audience fixes how many ingredients are guessed. "Masha - 4 out of 7", etc. The winner is the guest who guessed the largest number of components.

New Year's lottery

Will delight those gathered for festive table and a win-win lottery. Prepare in advance the number of gifts corresponding to the number of invitees. Better yet, two or three more.

You will also need lottery tickets for the competition. Interesting idea- take a picture with a pig from the Web, print copies and draw serial numbers on them. Give them to the guests of the holiday at the entrance.

There is another option - invite everyone to the center of the room and give the task - to complete new year song, read a poem, recall an interesting anecdote. The reward is the opportunity to put your hand in a box of lottery tickets and get one.

Any interesting souvenir is suitable as a prize - gingerbread cookies, chocolate in a festive wrapper, a figurine of the symbol of the year. It would be nice to prepare a small funny poem for the prize. For example: “You will be happy with gifts of fate - take a bar of chocolate.”

Entertainment for schoolchildren

To prepare interesting competitions is real for the children of the most different ages. Both first-graders and high school students will be delighted with the opportunity to have fun.

Don't miss the spot

The ageless competition is a game with chairs, interesting for both children and adults.

During the competition, to the festive tune, schoolchildren run around them. After the music stops playing, they should immediately take their seats. The child was left without a chair - his participation in the competition ends.

Leap into the future

The tradition of jumping from a chair on New Year's Eve came from Germany. According to her, the further the guest jumps, the better he will live in the New Year. True, you should be careful, so some refuse the attribute in the form of a chair. The winner is the guest who jumped the farthest.

Shoulder to shoulder

Participants are divided into two people. A festive tune is played and the children dance and jump to it. As a result, the couples are separated, the participants "mix with each other."

The music stops, and the host of the competition says: “shoulder to shoulder!”. On a signal, the children from the pairs run up to each other and touch their shoulders. Whoever found a partner last - stops participating in the competition. Then the facilitator sets another task: "nose to nose", "back to back, etc."

The competition is held in a different way. You will need New Year's props - carved snowflakes, Christmas trees, candies in a festive wrapper, etc. Lay them out in the room where you celebrate the holiday. The host gives a signal: “Christmas tree to Christmas tree”, and the children take a Christmas tree and run up to their pair.

Entertainment for young people

Festive New Year contests are also loved by young people. A few ideas on how to have fun with people in this age category- below.

Take two guests and blindfold them. Their task is to remove toys and sweets from the Christmas trees. The New Year tree will be other invitees, placed one after another. New Year's attributes are hung on them, using ordinary clothespins.

Volunteers are given boxes in their hands and blindfolded. different sides to an impromptu Christmas tree. At the command of the leader, they begin to discharge the Christmas trees and put toys with sweets in a box.

When the guests meet each other, the competition is over. The winner is the participant who has collected more attributes of the holiday.

Flappers for girls

Male guests, at the very beginning of the evening, are given crackers in their hands. When the guests have gathered, the rules of the competition are announced. Guys on New Year's Eve, one at a time, blow up "shells". And the task of the girls is to immediately jump into the hands of young man standing nearby.

The girl, who forgot to jump on her hands or was confused, performs the task of the celebrants.

Pass the tangerine

For the competition, the participants are divided into two groups and stand one after the other. The leader's task is to prepare in advance two large cups of washed tangerines and two more empty ones. Guest, standing first, must grab the tangerine with his teeth and hand it over to another participant without the help of hands. He also takes it with his teeth and gives it further.

The one who stands last lowers the fruit into the plate. The winners are the members of the team that scored more tangerines within the agreed time.

Contests for corporate parties

At work, New Year's entertainment is also both table and mobile.

We decorate the Christmas tree

The guests are given the task of dressing up the Christmas tree blindfolded. The Christmas tree must be found. The presenter of the competition puts those who wish in the center of the room and gives them a toy in their hands. They close their eyes with a bandage and rotate several times.

The man goes forward all the way. When he meets an object or another participant on the way, he hangs a decoration on this "Christmas tree".

The winner is the one who managed to hang the toy on a real Christmas tree. The prize for the second place is given to the player who has found the most original "tree" for his decoration.

Dancing dancing

Prepare several musical selections of different topics in advance. At the beginning of the competition, participants are divided into pairs. Each moves to the music, but it does not match the nature of the dance.

For example, the host says: "Couple number one is dancing slow." And it sounds - "Lezginka". It will be original if you give the participants a task to dance in the old forgotten genres - waltz, paso doble.

Solemn oath

Guests are given sheets of paper where they must write three things that are mandatory for them to implement in the new year - skydive, go to the mountains, sign up for a gym, etc.

Notes are folded into a headdress and mixed. Participants randomly draw notes with promises and read aloud what they got. Ask the person who read the promise to guess who wrote it.

funny entertainment

There are competitions where each of the guests will have to show resourcefulness and artistry. Their goal is to amuse guests and rejoice themselves.

Playing Crocodile

For the competition, prepare stickers in advance, where you write the names of famous paintings about the New Year and Christmas - "Magicians", "Home Alone", "Irony of Fate", etc.

One of the participants takes out any sticker and pantomime shows its plot. The task of the rest is to understand what picture he has in mind. The one who guessed first also takes out a piece of paper and depicts the film. Based on the results of the competition, the presenter awards the most artistic player an award.

"The very best"

The game involves men - about five people. The host puts boiled eggs in the cup, according to the number of heroes, and says that one of them is raw. Participants take turns hitting them on the forehead.

The competition turns out to be exciting, and gradually the tension between the guests grows. No one wants to get dirty in a raw egg.

Frozen T-shirt

For the competition, prepare three voluminous men's T-shirts. They need to be rolled up and left in the freezer. Select three male participants for the evening. They are faced with a difficult task - to put on T-shirts for themselves. The one who completes it first wins.

Read lips

Two contestants put on headphones, where quite loud music plays. Players must not hear each other. One receives cards with questions. For example: “How much champagne do you need to be happy?”, “What do you spread red caviar on?”.

The task of the second is to understand what he is being asked and answer. Then the cards with the questions are with others. The winner is the participant who answered the maximum number of questions.

Quiet Entertainment

Moving, noisy competitions are not to everyone's liking. If guests prefer to celebrate the New Year in a relaxed atmosphere, prepare contests that suit their temperament.

New Year fortune telling

The next fun will not require guests to leave the table. You will need small sheets of paper and pens. On the stickers, the audience write a positive prediction. They are folded and placed in a magic bag.

Then the host distributes new sheets of paper to the guests, where they have to write when the wish is fulfilled. For example: “Very soon everything will come true” or “wait a couple of years.” They are placed in the second bag.

One after another, those gathered pull out stickers from both bags and read aloud the prediction they got. The more original the forecasts, the better.

Christmas story

Another original entertainment is making up a New Year's story. For him, guests are given 10-12 stickers, where they will write various words. Half of them should be related to the New Year celebrations, and the other - at their discretion. After the stickers are placed in a box and mixed.

The first guest takes out two or three leaves. He pronounces the words: "Somehow on New Year's Eve ...". And he comes up with the beginning of the story, using the words that come across.

The second guest also pulls out some stickers. He continues the story, supplementing it with the words that fell to him. A fairy tale is a very interesting and exciting task, to which guests will not remain indifferent.

New Year news

Prepare cards for the game by writing on them 5 words that are far from each other in meaning. For example: "Snow Maiden, bus, parrot, castle, subway." Guests, in turn, take out a card at random. The task is to compose a sensation close in theme to the New Year.

Each word from the card is involved. And according to the results of the competition, a present is given for the most interesting news, and a toast is made for pleasant events in the coming year.

Summary

So that guests invited to new year party, do not get bored, invite them to participate in competitions. There will be suitable entertainment for both adults and children.

Stories from our readers


Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and contests for the new year, and I found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig with fun and joy.

How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the new year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with a TV, not to mention a party for cheerful company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

  1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A company of adults will need to eat, raise glasses for the new year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural course of the party.
  2. Prepare props. Having decided what you will play for the new year at home, make a list of what you will need for a particular competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes into thematic contests (I use small gift bags for this).
  3. Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.
  4. It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them in advance on ordinary cards, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
  5. Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.

Collection of contests and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be invited to burst balloons, inside of which there will be wishes.


It is necessary to prepare a large bunch of balloons in advance (their number should be more number guests just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut off the balloon they like, and then read aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.

"Numbers"

New Year's games and competitions built on the "question and answer" model always gather a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the facilitator distributes small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and offers to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If desired, you can write down some sequence, and play a few circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the host says that now all those present will be able to find out bigger friend about a friend - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, raising a piece of paper with written numbers, and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day he eats, how much he weighs, how many times he stayed for the second year, and so on.


"Not a Word of Truth"

My favorite pastimes are funny contests for the new year. Of course, for a company of pensioners, you will need to pick up something more decent, but you can always have fun in your circle - for example, by playing the game "Not a word of truth."


The host will need to prepare in advance a lot of New Year's questions such as:
  • What tree is traditionally dressed up for the holiday?
  • what movie in our country symbolizes the new year?
  • What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
  • who is molded from snow in winter?
  • who on TV addresses the Russians with a New Year's speech?
  • the outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?
It is better to write down more questions, you can ask about the New Year traditions of different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer without telling a word of the truth.

The one who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, according to the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various desires - you can use desires to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put a few tangerine slices on both cheeks, and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it is the end!”. Explosions of laughter are provided - both during the game and during the "punishment" of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the new year 2019, you can play snipers. It is most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it is already a little more difficult to hit the target.


The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn, each player throws "snowballs" into the bucket. A bucket from the players is set at a distance of five to seven meters, as "snowballs" you can use cotton balls, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple plastic Christmas balls that are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a party in honor of the new year 2019 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a "target" - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporty.


All those present must be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are tasked with building a New Year's ball. For manufacturing, you can use only toilet items, accessories and decorations that are on the team members. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.

By the way, a little hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and just try to sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to say a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will simultaneously be involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course, the sight of her own mother, who speaks heartfeltly into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the film academy for the opportunity to see the battle on the ice in her own living room - is priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are choosing competitions for a corporate party for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his deer. Here you do not need to divide the guests into teams, just invite them to break into pairs.


Each pair has a “reindeer” and “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The "deer" needs to be blindfolded and make a harness - do not be wiser, a simple linen rope or lace that wraps around the belt will come off. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A route is built from the skittles, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. The winners are those participants who came to the finish line earlier than others and did not knock down the pins. Instead of pins, you can use empty bottles, cardboard cups for drinks or paper cones (we made them in the form of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

"Collective letter"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can compose your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - guests should call them.


The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the host writes them down and then reads out the result - the text is very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's Version"

Love New Year's contests for the whole family - then a turnip is what you need!


So, you need to prepare the participants - they need the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and the movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.
  1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation "Oba-na!".
  2. Grandfather rubs his palms and groans “Ta-ak-s!”.
  3. Grandmother swings her fist at grandfather and says “I would have beaten it!”.
  4. Dancing granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
  5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
  6. The cat wags its "tail" and tentatively draws out "And I am on my own."
  7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says "We've finished the game!".
After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the host reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors play their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and groans) a turnip (clap-clap, both-on!) And further in the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to an end, and the host will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly alphabetical"

In one of the pauses, the host takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter suggests filling the glasses and raising them, but strictly in alphabetical order.


Each guest must say a short toast to his own letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second must start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:
  1. BUT Absolutely must drink to happiness in the new year!
  2. B let's be healthy in the new year!
  3. AT let's drink to the old year!
  4. E If we don't get drunk, we'll have to eat!
The task for all those present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for, becomes the winner!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2019 - play bunny. For the New Year at home, it is best to play this game when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.



Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to each the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the leader pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made up crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, not allowing him to sit down. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants enter the rage.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people alternately squatted on the names of other animals, the host says “Bunny!”, And the whole circle abruptly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of the neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, general laughter begins, and a bunch of small ones gather on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great contest that you can play without leaving the table.



The facilitator will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words are no longer needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with a hot news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on the cards? Any set of words.
  • China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
  • Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
  • New Year 2019, fan, pantyhose, pan, scabies.
  • Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
  • Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
  • Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
  • Snowman, beard, tights, bike, school.
  • Winter, zoo, laundry, boa constrictor, rug.
How to make news? Set an example for guests to use all the words, and the weirder the news gets, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “A rug was found in a boa constrictor in a Moscow zoo during winter washing.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and to laugh, and to drink so that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.

"Jumping into the New Year"

We in the family circle often arrange jumping as entertainment for the new year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I'm sure it's already a kind of tradition.


So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (paper paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump in - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On the big sheet everyone draws their desires - someone manages to draw a few miniatures, for someone it is enough to schematically draw what they want. By the president's speech, the drawing is usually already finished or the finishing touches remain. After the president's speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count the chimes in chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the sale of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and on next year we check who has what came true - also a topic for a table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

There are good New Year's entertainments without a host. A good way to keep guests entertained is to give them unique challenges, but few people want to compete just like that, right?


Therefore, we act as follows - we hang sweets or small gifts on the Christmas tree. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweet Christmas decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we do not write names, but some definitions that guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).

What to write on labels:

  1. The owner of the most brown eyes.
  2. The best high jumper.
  3. The biggest hooligan (here you have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
  4. The owner of the best tan.
  5. The owner of the highest heels.
  6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
  7. A couple whose sum of clothing buttons is 10.
  8. The one who wears more yellow today.
I think you get the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who rested where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of heels and discuss work.

"Hat song"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve a game with a hat - they throw some notes into the hat in advance, and then they pull out and carry out the tasks of relatives or colleagues.

In the new year 2019, we will play a popular variation of this game with songs with our family. You need to write notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes out a note from the hat and sings a song in which this word occurs.

By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a great idea to compose a little song on the go to the most popular motive, or somehow remake one from famous New Year's songs of the past years.

By the way, this game is also suitable for a small company of any age - of course, a schoolboy is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer during the game - after all, cool New Year's contests unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, new year contests for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?


So, the girls are put on dressing gowns or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the shirts on the girls so that they do not freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's contests for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this contest the other way around - freeing the girls from shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even in mittens it is convenient to pull on the floor of the shirt and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it, it is not easy to do it in mittens.

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

Creative New Year contests for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.


So, holes for hands are made in a dense sheet of cardboard. We give out brushes to the players, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and women's team, and give the task to one to portray the Snow Maiden, and to the other - Santa Claus. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are choosing contests for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to look for fun music as well - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's contests 2019, this usually causes the warmest emotions.

"Giving Roles"

You can start fun competitions for the new year for the family with such entertainment.


Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty capsules from kinders (you can just wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year with an offer to find out who still rules the ball.

Everyone present should draw out their role. It can be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his deer. Distribute small attributes to all guests that will match their role on this night - for example, a crown will suit the snow queen, Santa Claus can loudly knock with an elegant staff, and a company of overgrown bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Zima or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, starts to say a toast.

"Photo tests"

What cool contests for the new year without photos?


Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take pictures in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:
  • the most decrepit snowflake;
  • the most sleepy guest;
  • the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
  • the hungriest Santa Claus;
  • the most generous Santa Claus;
  • the kindest Santa Claus;
  • the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
  • the most gorged guest;
  • the most cheerful guest;
  • the most cunning Baba Yaga;
  • the most evil Kashchei;
  • the most powerful hero;
  • the most capricious princess;
  • the largest snowflake;
  • and so on…
By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to pull out the role in which they will be photographed without looking, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deed to better embody the image. It will be possible to laugh in the process, and when you view the pictures - fortunately, you can do this in just a few minutes.

"Little Things from Santa Claus"

Tell the guests such a legend as Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell into a snowdrift with one foot and spilled gifts from a bag. The big ones stayed in the bag, but the little ones fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.


Wrap all sorts of pleasant little things that you bought in advance in an opaque package, or, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of cloth, like miniature bags tied with a thick thread or ribbon.


As pleasant little things can be: calendars, candles, key chains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and fortune teller, another New Year's entertainment from the site:

    New Year in the family circle is one of the coziest options for celebrating. Everyone knows each other well, no one is nervous, and New Year's games and entertainment for the whole family only contribute to greater rapprochement.

    Guess the relative

    One participant has their eyes closed and gloves are put on their hands. The rest of the people sitting at the table come up to him in turn, the blindfolded participant must determine which of the relatives is standing in front of him. The game is complicated by the fact that wearing gloves is not so easy to recognize a loved one.

    Advice!
    The thicker, warmer the gloves put on the participant, the more difficult and funnier it is to guess the relative. Players facing the participant in gloves make faces and the game becomes more interesting.

    Remember the names of the heroes

    "The Irony of Fate" is a film that has become a symbol of the New Year's festivities, so the competition is associated with it. The players take a piece of paper and a pen, on command, everyone begins to write down the names of the characters in the film. Everyone writes the names of the main characters, but the one who remembers as many names of secondary characters as possible wins.

    A gift to the sage

    For this entertainment, a T-shirt, shirt or sweater is specially purchased. white color. All those present write congratulations on these clothes, be sure to draw new year picture. The author of the most original congratulation wins, and the T-shirt is handed over to the oldest of all those sitting at the table.

    Contests and games for an adult company




    Contests and games are a great opportunity to get positive emotions, get to know people better in a stranger or your own company. It is not difficult to find competitions suitable for adults who like active entertainment, and for those who like more relaxed ones.

    Remade fairy tales

    Participants are given a piece of paper and a pen. The task is to rewrite famous children's fairy tales in the style of official documents: the minutes of the party meeting, the plan for the meeting, or the case history. The one who wrote the funniest fairy tale wins.

    Pass the cucumber

    This game is good for a large company, where everyone is responsive to humor. Participants choose one leader, around whom the rest stand in close formation, putting their hands behind their backs. The players secretly pass the cucumber to each other, trying to quietly bite off a piece of it. The host carefully watches everyone and catches a participant with a cucumber.

    Alphabet congratulations

    When the guests have already drunk a little, relaxed, they are offered to say alphabetical toasts. Each congratulation guests begin with certain letter. The more they pick kind words, all the better. With a new toast, wishes become more interesting and funnier.

    Games for quiet guests





    There are fans of active games, and there are quiet guests who like entertainment in which they take part at the table or relaxing on the couch. It is very important to take into account the interests and preferences of such people, therefore their entertainments are reserved for them. Most often these are people of advanced age or such a warehouse of character. Pulling them active competitions, there will be a reason for discomfort, both for them and for other guests.

    cake prediction

    Before the start of the festival, the organizer cuts the paper into squares. Each writes a prediction. The paper is folded on a tray so that no one notices the prediction, and then the guests take turns pulling out their “piece of the pie”.

    On a note!
    If desired, the organizer prepares a real pie. Brought sweet always pleases the sweet tooth sitting at the table. And it is convenient to write a New Year's wish on a cardboard stand under each piece on the reverse side. Those who do not eat sweets are offered a separate bag with a wish.

    joint toast

    The game starts when it's time for a toast. One of the guests says a wish, but at some point interrupts him. The next player continues this toast and so on in a circle until the turn reaches the beginner. He finishes the toast and everyone present drinks. It will be funnier if the beginner has to summarize the wishes of all the other guests. However, if a person does not have a phenomenal memory, you should not insist.

    Table contests and games





    Table entertainment is to the liking of those who have already run enough in other competitions, and now they just want to relax. But no one wants to stop the fun that has already begun, so the competitions continue at the table.

    Who wants what

    The facilitator gives each player a bag of tokens. Each has one letter. The participant pulls out the first one that comes across and quickly comes up with and says aloud a word for a given letter. The fun begins when the host announces: “This is how we found out who wants what for themselves next year!”

    Favorite dish

    The one who is determined by the draw starts the competition, it is better if it is an adult who is not very fastidious. Those sitting at the table, in turn, prick on a fork one piece of the dish that they love the most.
