How to entertain guests at the New Year's table. Competition for the new year "Who is superfluous" "

The game "In what words does the spruce grow?"

The festive feast is conducive to quiet games at the table. And even at the most cheerful and noisy holiday, there is always a place for such games. You can, for example, play "words". One at a time, remember and name the words inside which "spruce grows."

Despite the fact that there are a lot of such words, it is not so easy to play such a game without preparation, so do not introduce any additional restrictions when naming a word (the number of syllables, the location of the “ate” in the word, etc.).

The only condition is that you need to name common nouns in the initial form. The participant who will not be able to offer his own version of the word (of course, you cannot repeat it), drops out of the game or gives up his phantom, which will later be played out together with others.

The words: Blizzard, caramel, jelly, dolphin, orange, writer, driver, delta, teacher, carousel, ashtray, furniture, gorge "," Slacker "," drops "," briefcase "," stranded "," target "," panel "," rail "," housewarming "," potatoes "," mill "," dumpling "," Monday "and dr.

Quiz "What if there is no Christmas tree?"

In some countries, due to the hot climate in the absence of coniferous forests or due to national traditions, the Christmas tree (or better to say, a plant) is not the green thorny beauties of the Christmas tree. Let's clarify what residents of different countries decorate their houses with before the New Year holidays.

Since questions on this exotic topic require special knowledge, we will introduce hints for respondents with three possible answers - the participants need to choose the correct one. Each of them has the same amount of conventional game units, for example, 5 spruce cones, or, more simply, “shisha”. The presenter of the competition asks a question, offering to choose the correct answer. Before joining the active game, the participant assigns a “price” to the question that does not exceed the amount on his personal account. Further, he can give the answer himself and, if successful, increase his account by the amount of the assigned cost of the question or transfer the question to another participant. In any case, only one of the answer options is accepted. If the player who received the question answered correctly, the “cost” of the question goes to his account, and the account of the previous participant remains unchanged. If the answer is wrong, then both players lose their game "shishi". The next question of the presenter is answered by the guest sitting at the festive table to the left (right) of the participant who answered the previous question.

We always look forward to the New Year with great impatience, because this is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. Every family carefully prepares for it: they plan, invite guests, buy outfits, think over the course of the event so that it does not turn into a simple overeating. New Year's table games for adults are the best option for those who have invited guests and want to have fun. If you yourself are embarrassed to act as a presenter, you can define him at the table. Therefore, boldly and without hesitation, we appoint the most active of the guests as responsible for games for adults. Well, preparing them will not pose any problems.

New Year's games for a small company

It is not difficult to find fun table contests for the New Year's holiday, the main thing is to be able to adapt them to your company. If it is small, then the entertainment should be selected accordingly.

Drove

You will need two RC cars. Two contestants prepare cars and a "track" to any point in the room, put a shot of vodka on their cars. Then, carefully, without splashing, they try to roll it to the destination, where they can drink. The game can be continued with a snack. You can also make it in the form of a relay, for this you have to split into teams, the first one must bring to the point and back, pass the baton to another neighbor, the last player drinks a glass or what is left in it.

Cheerful artist

The presenter thinks of something to the first player, he gets into a pose that characterizes what was asked, without voicing it. For example: a person is screwing in a lamp. In turn, each participant must adjust to the previous one so that a picture emerges. The latter stands up as an artist with a brush and easel for painting. He also tries to tell what exactly he "depicted". Then, each one talks about his own pose.

"I never" (or "I never")

This is a comic confession. Each of the guests invited to the meeting begins to confess with the phrase: "I never ...". For example: "I have never drunk tequila." But the answers must be progressive. That is, the one who has already confessed to the little things must continue to talk about something deeper. Drinking confessions can be very funny, the main thing is not to get carried away, otherwise you can betray the most intimate secrets.

Board games for a large fun company of adults

If a large get-together is going to the New Year, it is best to hold group, team ones.

let's drink

The company is divided into two groups and stands in a row against each other. Each of them has a disposable glass of wine in their hands (it is better not to take champagne and spirits, as you can choke). Place the glasses in everyone's right hand. On command, they must drink the neighbor in turn: first, the last person drinks the penultimate one, the next one, and so on. As soon as the first one has received his dose, he runs to the last one and treats him. Whoever finishes first will be the winners.

"Hostess"

A merry New Year's holiday is necessarily a lot of decorations. The company is divided into two halves, they are given boxes of the same size. Also, each team receives a certain number of different things: Christmas tree decorations, candy wrappers, sweets, napkins, souvenirs, etc. It is necessary to put everything in the boxes for a while and neatly, so that they close exactly without bulges. After a certain amount of alcohol, this is not so easy to do.

Which team will put things neat and faster, that will be the winner. The quality should not suffer, if so, you should organize a vote from people not participating in the competition.

"Tumbleweed"

Guests at the New Year's table are divided equally and sit on chairs opposite each other. An apple is placed on the first player's lap; they must, without hands, roll the apple over the lap from the first player to the last. If the fruit falls, the group has lost, but it can rehabilitate itself if it picks it up without hands and returns it to the very beginning.

"Drinkers"

It will be a relay race. We install two stools, on the stools are plastic glasses with an alcoholic drink. There should be as many of them as there are players. We divide the guests in half, according to gender, and put them behind each other, opposite each stool at some distance from it. Everyone's hands are behind their backs. Place a trash bin next to them. One by one, they run up to the chair, drink any of the glasses without hands, then run back, throwing the empty containers into the trash and return to the back of the line. Only then can the next person run.

Games at the table for a New Year's corporate party

The entertainment program can be of a table type. This scenario is tailored for a more shy group of people.

Funny singers

For this game, you should prepare cards in advance with any words related to the holiday, alcohol, New Year's heroes, etc. For example: Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snow, vodka, wine, sparks, candles, frost, Santa Claus, gifts. Then a presenter is selected, who will appoint a player, pull out a card and voice the word itself. The selected person must sing a verse or chorus with that word in the song. No more than 10 seconds are given for reflection. This game can be carried out and divided into teams, the result will be more songs performed.

Rhyme

All guests at the table stand in a circle. The leader has cards with the words "uh", "ah", "eh" and "oh". The player draws a card, and the others make a wish for him. For example, he draws out "oh". The command says, "Hug three" or "Kiss three" or "Catch three." Here's an example of several wishes:

"Walk on your hands";
"Stand on your hands";
"Share the news";
"Dance with guests";
"Sing in front of guests";

“Compliment everyone out loud”;
“Shout that you are a burdock”;
"Kiss of two at once";
"Crawl between two legs";
"Tell your wishes out loud";
“Find out with your eyes closed two”;

"Make everyone laugh";
"Hug everyone";
"Give everyone a drink";
"Feed everyone."

You can come up with funny answers ad infinitum, the main thing is that the rhyme is observed.

Tell me about the hostess (s)

Everything is very simple here. Questions should be prepared for guests in advance, such as:

If it is a pair, then:

  • "Where did these people meet?"
  • "How many years have they been living together."
  • "Favorite vacation spot."

Desires

The first participant is given a pen and a piece of paper. He briefly writes his great desire: "I want ...". The rest enter only adjectives such as: let it be fluffy, it must be iron, or simply - smelly, meaningless, and so on.

Completely adult, funny and cool entertainment

Adult games at the New Year's table are not suitable for every company - this should be taken into account. But after a certain amount of time, you can try to offer them something from the repertoire below and further navigate the situation. The answers can be serious or funny.

Christmas tree

For the competition, you need to stock up on clothespins (preferably ones that do not break). First, attach all the toys to the clothespins by strings. Several couples of the opposite sex are called, men are blindfolded, for a certain period of time they must hook as many toys as possible on women's clothes. The game can be "diluted" by changing pairs and removing clothespins from other women. You can also change their roles - women will dress up men. And do not forget to rate each Christmas tree, because the one who has the most elegant will win, and only then, to the stormy applause of the company, remove the toys.

Fairy tale

Any short fairy tale is selected, All participants in the New Year's table stand in a circle, leaving the center free. An author is appointed who reads a fairy tale, for example "Three Little Pigs", it is not very short, but easily reduced to a page. Then each in a circle, chooses a role for himself. And not only animated heroes, but also natural phenomena or objects. The tree, grass, even the phrase "lived - were" can be beaten.

The story begins: Once upon a time - were (gone or gone “lived - were”) three pigs (went pigs). The sun was shining in the sky (the sky is shining, holding the sun in its hands). The pigs were lying on the grass ("grass" lay, or preferably three grasses, the piglets were piled on it), etc. If there are few people, the freed heroes in the form of grass can take the following roles to continue the game.

You can play not only a fairy tale, but also a song or a poem, or you can come up with your own funny stories.

Sweet tooth

Several pairs of the opposite sex are selected for the game. Men are blindfolded, women are laid on tables or chairs (sports mats) prepared in advance. Napkins are placed on their bodies, on which they leave chocolates without wrappers. Then a man is brought up to them, and he must find all the sweets without hands (respectively, without eyes). It is not necessary to eat them. To avoid embarrassment, it is best to call spouses or a real couple. But adults, especially at the New Year's table, with a good sense of humor, seasoned with a glass of champagne, usually have no problems.

Eat a banana

Multiple pairs are called. Men sit on chairs, squeeze a banana between their knees, women come up to their couples and, hiding their hands behind their backs, must peel and eat it. For the procedure, adults are given a certain amount of time. You can also use cucumbers instead of bananas.

Finally

New Year's games for a fun company should be prepared in advance. Especially if there are a lot of guests and among them there will be unfamiliar people about whom you need to learn as much as possible. Entertainment contests at the New Year's table for adults are diluted with dancing or singing karaoke for a change.

Board games 2020 can be held both for fun and for incentive prizes. If you choose team adult games, then the vote count is done for each group. If the competitors are competing alone, reward them with chips, and then the prize goes to the winner by counting the chips.

When the subject finally does everything without difficulty, you turn to face the audience and announce in the voice of an entertainer: "This is how they start a motorcycle in a madhouse."

Dance with a magic wand
Participants of the dance stand in a circle, alternating, man - woman.

Game - drawing "Do not laugh"
Players sit in a circle in a man-woman sequence. Everyone is warned not to laugh. The presenter takes his right-hand neighbor (neighbor) by the ear. Everyone else in the circle should do the same.

They find four clothespins, while everyone present helps them, loudly counting: "One, two, three ... four!" But they can't find the fifth.

The game "Drawers"
The leader calls two or three pairs of players. The players of each pair sit at the table next to each other. One is blindfolded, a sheet of paper is placed in front of him, and a pen or pencil is given in his hand. All the others present ask each couple a task - to draw a New Year's picture. The player in each pair, who is not blindfolded, closely monitors what his neighbor is drawing and tells him where to lead with a pen, in which direction. He listens and draws what he is told. It turns out very funny. The winner is the pair that completes the drawing faster and better.

Contest "drummers"
Couples participate in the competition. A light frying pan is tied to a girl's waist in front, and a ladle is tied to a guy. The couple is placed facing each other at a close distance.

2. Slap the candy

Two candies are placed on the table. Two children are taken. The children are blindfolded and asked to clap the candy on the count of three. During the counting, you need to replace sweets with a banana or tomato.

agree), the child, as usual, recites a verse, and is waiting for a gift. It takes a little here
cheat, and if this is a girl and she ordered a doll, then grandfather pulls a car out of the bag
or toy soldiers and hands it over to the baby. Then he slaps himself on the head with the words: “Oh, old me and
sclerotic, mixed everything up! ”, takes the gift back, and hands over what the girl needs.
Meeting a sclerotic grandfather will amuse the child.

Practical jokes for the family (funny)


When the whole family gathers at the New Year's table, you cannot do without funny jokes and
draws. We offer sweepstakes for the New Year 2019 for family members. They will raise
mood for everyone and defuse the atmosphere.

1. "Santa Claus (Snow Maiden) is calling you"

Such a rally cheers up any family member. To do this, you just need to have a spare SIM card with an unknown phone number and be able to change your voice. For example, a girl with her dad will retire for a while in another room, or go to the store to shop. From an unfamiliar number, they start calling their mother, grandmother, and grandfather, introducing themselves as Santa Claus and Snow Maiden and congratulating them on the New Year. When they come home, the surprised mother will boast that Santa Claus called her. Jokers need to try not to give themselves away as long as possible.

2. "Unusual gift"

Since it is customary to give gifts to relatives on New Year's Eve, you can joke a little over them. Some unnecessary and even ridiculous thing is taken, for example - a felt boot, a can of tomatoes, a roll of toilet paper (for which there is enough imagination). Packed in a beautiful, gift box, tied with a ribbon and solemnly handed over to a family member, a satisfied person begins to joyfully unfold the gift, and receives ... what he receives.

At the same time, it is important to be able to photograph his facial expression, and then apologize and give a real
present.

3. "Funny mask"

One of the family members is invited to make a monkey mask and present it to the one who offended him the most. Such a prank, for example, can be played by a child over his parents. Mom, in order to take revenge on dad for some insult, will draw a very scary mask with the hope that dad will sit in it all evening.

When the mask is ready, the daughter or son announces that it was a joke, and in fact, the one who made it will sit in the mask. Thirty minutes. Don't forget to take a picture of your mom wearing a mask!

Practical jokes for a fun company (for a corporate party)


For those who like to celebrate New Year's Eve in a fun company, we offer several cool pranks that will help make the holiday more original.

1. "Bite off a banana"

This draw is held over the female gender. Two or three girls, or maybe one, are offered to bite off a piece of banana, which will be in front of her lips, while blindfolded. When the eyes are blindfolded, a condom is pulled over the banana and offered to take a bite.

The girl's reaction is unpredictable!

2. "Confetti rain"

A bright, gift box is taken, tied with a beautiful ribbon, but the joke is that the box has no bottom. The box is placed higher on the cabinet and filled with confetti. The inscription is attached to the box: "a gift for the most courageous and dexterous." Then uninitiated guests are invited to play: whoever is the first to remove the gift from the closet will get it. The guests, pushing, will rush for the gift, and confetti will rain on the one who has got it.

3. "Let's arrange a masquerade"

This draw requires a box or bag filled with different clothes. The joke is that clothes should be the most ridiculous - panties, bras, and so on. The joker says that for each friend he bought a beautiful, fancy dress, which is in a box. The box with the music is passed in a circle, provided that when the music ends, the one with the box pulls out the first thing that comes across and puts it on himself. As a result, the participants in the game look rather ridiculous.

4. "Busy"

For such a rally, special training is required. The owners of the house, who will host the New Year's party, make a mannequin that should look like a human. They put on everything that is supposed to be worn on the mannequin - a hat, boots, a sweater, trousers. When the guests have already had a good drink, the owner imperceptibly puts the mannequin on the toilet in the toilet. And so the first guest was impatient. He looks into the toilet, sees that it is busy, excuses himself and leaves. Then the second guest was impatient. And now a whole line is already indignant under the toilet door. At this time, the owner enters the toilet and takes out the stuffed animal in his hands. What will be the reaction - you will see for yourself.

Happy New Year 2019 and Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

The traditional and still the best solution would be to spend the New Year with the family, where only the most beloved and close people are present. Still, it will be boring to just sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertainment TV programs. It is much more interesting to arrange some exciting New Year's contests for the whole family at home, in which both adults and children can participate on an equal footing. By arranging New Year's contests for children and adults, you can unite the family even closer and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.

"Relay of Memories"

Usually, before celebrating the New Year, people see off the outgoing year, summing up its results. This can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and concisely name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the past year, and pass the baton on to another. Anyone who could not quickly pick it up and continue with their memories becomes a loser, but for this he is awarded the title of "lucky 2017". At the same time, the participants are encouraged to show a sense of humor.

"Draw a dream"

When choosing New Year's contests for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Its participants are provided with sheets of paper and felt-tip pens, crayons or pencils. Then they are blindfolded, and after which they must blindly try to draw their dream. When all the participants have finished their work, they take off their bandages and, together with other guests, try to guess what kind of dream was depicted on each canvas. The winner of the competition receives a small prize, and the rest of the artists can only believe in the realization of their dreams in the coming year.

"Funny drawings"

You need to get a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, in the middle of which you make two holes for the hands. Then the participants of the competition must put their hands in these holes one by one and, not seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun New Year's competition for adults is won by the one who gets the most beautiful or funniest drawing.

"Not a word of truth"

For this competition, the host must prepare in advance many questions on the New Year's theme, for example:

  • which plant is most often decorated for the New Year;
  • whom it is customary to sculpt out of snow;
  • what is our most "New Year" film;
  • that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
  • whose year is coming according to the Chinese calendar;
  • whom we see last on television in the past year.

You can include questions about the habits of guests or New Year's traditions among different nations in family table competitions for the New Year. In general, the more questions there are and the more diverse they are, the more interesting it will be for everyone to participate in this competition.

The presenter should quickly and in a major way ask his questions, and the guests should answer them in such a way that there is not a word of truth. A gape player who told the truth is waiting for a phantom - to sing a song, read a rhyme, or fulfill the wishes of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeits.

"New Year's mascot"

Thinking over a script for the New Year in the family, contests can be chosen with a creative bias. For example, make a New Year's mascot out of stationery (tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine, and even food. Each participant of the competition is offered the task of making a talisman for one of the participants of the feast out of the proposed materials in 2-3 minutes. The winner is the one who not only designed the most impressive talisman, but also accompanied it with the most convincing or original explanations about why it is needed.

"Remembering the alphabet"

Such entertainment can be included in New Year's contests for an adult company. In the midst of the feast, the host turns to the guests and says that he has taken so much that he has already forgotten the alphabet. On this occasion, he proposes to raise glasses and toast to the New Year, which should begin in alphabetical order. Next comes the turn of the guests, who must invent toasts, starting with the letter "A" and then alphabetically. For example, such:

  • Shouldn't we repeat it for the New Year?
  • Good luck in the coming year!
  • To your health!
  • Brilliant thoughts to everyone this year!

When the audience fizzles out and the last toast is delivered, then everyone should vote for the most successful or funniest toast and drink to the health of its author.

"Make your favorite cabbage"

Agree that the funniest novelties of adult contests for the New Year should be conducted with the participation of couples. The essence of the entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. This will require preliminary preparation - in a large bag you need to put a variety of clothes, preferably incompatible in style, color, etc. Thanks to this, the "outfit" will turn out to be very funny, it will cause fun for all guests.

You can add competitive principles to this game by making different couples compete in dressing speed. And at the end of the competition, until the wonderful outfits have been removed, you can pose in them in front of the camera.

"Snowballs"

Especially beloved by everyone, such funny New Year's contests for children and adults, like playing snowballs. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going outside. In front of each participant, you need to put a large pile of old newspapers, after which the presenter marks the time of 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as much snow as possible.

There is also a more dynamic version of the snowball game, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, the participants should be seated in a row and a personal bucket should be placed at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple newspapers, forming "snowballs" and throwing them into their basket. After a minute or two, the game stops and the baskets are checked - the one with the richest catch wins.

"Frosty breath"

For this fun entertainment, you need to line everyone up in front of an empty table on which to lay out small snowflakes cut out of paper. Then, on command, all participants begin to blow as much as possible on their snowflakes, trying to make them fall from the opposite end of the table. As soon as the last snowflake falls from the table, the competition ends. And the winner is unexpectedly the one whose snowflake lasted the longest on the table - all thanks to his frosty breath, because of which it froze to the table.

Be sure to take a couple of contests from our article "Children's contests for the New Year", then neither adults nor children will be bored.

"Secret name"

Competitions for the New Year with the family on this topic can have two options. On the back of each family member participating in the game, you need to attach a piece of paper on which his new name will be written (you can use the name of an animal or the name of a well-known person). And then, throughout the whole New Year's Eve, all those present can hint to each other on new names. The one who is the first to guess his name now will become the winner of this fun competition.

In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their name, but should only receive monosyllabic answers like "yes" or "no". In the end, he will be able to guess his new name and then the turn of guessing goes to another player.

"MPS"

Choosing intelligent and funny New Year's contests for the family at the table, one cannot pass by such entertainment:

A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all the participants of the game - the guessing person can ask any questions to any of those sitting at the table in any order, but he will receive only answers “yes” and “no”. You should also not try to guess what the MPS is by letter. Then, for a minute, the player leaves the room, and all the participants are explained what the MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, have in mind his neighbor on the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, the answers to the same questions from different participants may be different (for example, for some it is a man, and for others it is a woman), which only confuses the guessing player. By the way, not everyone, in the end, manages to guess what the MPS is.

Take a look at our article "Contests for a New Year's corporate party" - perhaps in it you will also find suitable contests for the family circle.

"Ball with a surprise"

Fun contests for the New Year for the family can play on wishes. To do this, you need to place scraps of paper with written wishes in rubber balls in advance and then inflate them. Each household member will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read a wish for everyone for the coming year.

"Funny numbers"

All those who celebrate the holiday need to be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone can write any number. After that, the presenter begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the answer will be the number written on the sheet. Suitable questions are required here, such as:

  • What time do you get up?
  • How old are you?
  • How many chili peppers can you eat in one sitting?

"Twins"

This game can be attributed to the funniest New Year contests for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: mom and son or dad and daughter. The couple hugs the waist with one hand, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the "Siamese twins" will need to cut out a figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the second will have to manipulate the scissors. The winner is the "Shiva" whose figurine is more successful.
