After active dancing, sitting at the table, the guests participate in the next competition. The host offers to remember all the New Year's attributes. The guests take turns calling the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, etc. The winner is the one whose definition will be the last.

New Year's villain

For this contest, you need to print several photos (pictures) of the New Year's villain, for example, Baba Yaga or the Grinch - the kidnapper of the holiday. From whole photos, the presenter must use scissors to make a kind of mosaic (just cut each photo in a chaotic manner). A mosaic of each picture with a New Year's villain is packed in a separate box or package. Guests are divided into teams of approximately 3 people. Each team receives a box with pieces of the picture, and at the “start” command, the guests begin to put the puzzle together. But that is not all. The whole picture (photo) with the New Year's villain will hang on the Christmas tree. And, as soon as some team successfully completed the puzzle and saw who the New Year's villain is, its participants must find this villain on the Christmas tree and save the New Year from him (just tear the picture from the Christmas tree). Who did - he won.

Everybody dance

Everyone is standing around the tree. The presenter turns on cheerful New Year's music and names a hero for each song. And the participants must dance in the appropriate style, for example, now snowflakes are dancing, and now hares, and now fur seals, and now shy Snow Maidens and so on. Prizes are awarded to the most artistic and mobile.

Father Frost and Snow Maiden of different nationalities

Guests are divided into pairs and not necessarily only: boy-girl. In each pair, they determine their Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Each couple takes turns taking out their fant from the bag, which indicates a specific nationality, for example, Chinese, Germans, ancient Russians, Egyptians, Armenians, Georgians, and so on. After all the couples have pulled out their forfeits and recognized their nationality, each couple in turn goes to the center and congratulates the guests in the corresponding nationality. It will be fun and interesting for everyone to receive New Year's greetings from Santa Claus - the Chinese and his Snow Maiden or from the Old Slavic heroes of the New Year. And the prize, as always, is the most artistic and active.

We reveal talents

There are forfeits in a hat or bag. Each of the guests chooses one and reads. Then, one by one, everyone demonstrates their talents. On forfeits it can be written: depict a statue of a Discobolus, play the role of a drunken loader, sing a romance to the words of a nursery rhyme, dance a hopak, show a double sheepskin coat in figure skating, and so on. The one who reveals his talent better deserves the reward.

Light of desires

Each participant receives a sparkler. In turn, the guests light their fire and say aloud wishes to their friends in a noun, for example, health, happiness, peace, prosperity, good luck, beauty, luxury, love, luck, and so on. Which of the guests can wish more "goods" while his sparkler was burning, he will win.

New Year's chimes (funny)

When guests gather, some of them are given task tokens at the entrance, you can even sell them for more intrigue. The tokens indicate that at a certain time the invitee must complete some task. It's very funny when, in the middle of a toast, one of the guests suddenly crows or starts to dance a twist on the table.

New Year's hugs

This competition is for a fun big and friendly company. Several participants are selected, who, at the command of the host, should hug as many friends as possible, while saying the phrase “Happy New Year, new happiness” for each. The participant who manages to hug and congratulate more guests in a minute than the rest of the participants will win.

Symbol of the year

When everyone is tired of running, jumping and jumping, you can take time for a competition for imagination and creativity. Each participant must in 5 minutes come up with what to make and actually make a symbol of the year, for example, make a muzzle or a whole pig (dog, rooster, and so on) out of food on the table. The symbol of the year can be made from anything that comes to mind (money and coins; Christmas decorations or any other interior items). According to the voting results of all guests, the most beautiful and creative craft will be determined, and its author will be awarded a prize.

Lubricate the symbol of the New Year

Each of the guests must remember in the year of which animal he was born and, in accordance with this, figure out how to smear himself on the symbol of the year, for example, on the Pig. An example is this: I was born in the year of the Rooster, let's be friends with the Pig. This goose is not a comrade to the Pig, but the Rooster is even very comrade. Or so: I was born in the year of the Dragon. I promise, Pig, you will not be fried if I am rich and well-fed all year round. And so on. Which of the guests will provide the best offer for the symbol of the year, he will receive a prize.

Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2020? 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 Rat 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 a fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

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.
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).
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.
Supporting materials are best done 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.
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 in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be more than the number of 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 learn more about each other - 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 amusements 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 an entertainment for the new year 2020, 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 2020 new year party 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 make 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 greeting for everyone present every new year. 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 down the 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.

The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation "Oba-na!".
Grandfather rubs his palms and groans “Ta-ak-s!”.
Grandmother swings her fist at grandfather and says “I would have beaten it!”.
Dancing granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
The bug itches and complains of fleas.
The cat wags its “tail” and tentatively draws out “And I am on my own.”
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:

A Absolutely must drink to happiness in the new year!
B let's be healthy in the new year!
IN let's drink to the old year!
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!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2020, play bunny. It is best to play this game at home on New Year's Eve when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader goes 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 crouched on the names of other animals, the host says “Bunny!”, And the whole circle abruptly tries to crouch (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, fan, pantyhose, pan, scabies.
Santa Claus, rat, 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 2020 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 2020 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 a large sheet, everyone draws their desires - someone manages to draw a few miniatures, someone just draws what they want schematically. By the president's speech, the drawing is usually already finished or the finishing touches remain. After the president's speech, the host invites everyone to join hands, count the chimes in chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the fulfillment of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and 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:

The owner of the most brown eyes.
The best high jumper.
The biggest hooligan (here you have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
The owner of the best tan.
The owner of the highest heels.
The owner of the most dangerous job.
A couple whose sum of clothing buttons is 10.
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 2020, 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 also be able to have fun 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 contests unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's 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 fasten the shirts on the girls as quickly as possible so that they do not freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's contests for teenagers and youth, wanted to do this contest the other way around - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even in mittens it is convenient to pull the shirt hem 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 female teams, and give the task to one to portray the Snow Maiden, and the other to portray Grandfather Frost. 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 cuttings from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's contests 2020, 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 knock loudly 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 grandmother Zima or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the new year 2020 and New Year's dances, starts to say a toast.

"Photo tests"

What cool contests for the new year without photos?

Make a photo area 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. You can laugh in the process, and when you view the pictures - good, 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:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for a New Year's corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it is better to prepare table games for the new year and interesting contests in advance, and 2021 is just around the corner!

The traditional and still the best solution would be to spend the New Year in the family circle, where only the most beloved and close people are present. But still, it will be boring just to sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertainment television 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. Arranging New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite the family even more closely and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.

"Relay of memories"

Usually, before the New Year's Eve, people see off the outgoing year, summing up its results. It can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the outgoing year, and pass the baton to another. Those who could not quickly pick it up and continue with their memories become the loser, but for this they are awarded the title of “lucky 2017”. At the same time, the manifestation of a sense of humor by the audience is welcome.

"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, colored crayons or pencils. Then they are blindfolded, and after that they blindly have to 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 have to 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 make two holes for the hands. Then the participants of the competition should alternately stick their hands into these holes and, not seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun adult competition for the New Year is won by the one who gets the most beautiful or funny drawing.

"Not a Word of Truth"

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

which plant is more often decorated for the New Year;
whom it is customary to sculpt from snow;
what is our most "New Year's" film;
that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
whose year is coming according to the Chinese calendar;
who we see on TV screens last in the outgoing year.

It is possible to include questions on the topic of guest habits or New Year's traditions among different nations in family competitions at the New Year's table. 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 host 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 gaping player who has told the truth is waiting for a fanta - to sing a song, read a poem or fulfill the wish of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeits.

"Christmas Talisman"

Thinking over the script for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative bias. For example, make a New Year's talisman from stationery (adhesive tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of molding a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from 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 on why it is needed.

"Remembering the Alphabet"

Such entertainment can be included in New Year's competitions 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 raising glasses and making toasts 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, these:

Why don't we repeat it for the New Year?
Be healthy in the coming year!
To your health!
Brilliant thoughts for everyone this year!

When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is delivered, everyone should vote for the most successful or cheerful 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 held with the participation of couples. The essence of entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here, preliminary preparation is required - 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 having different couples compete in the speed of dressing. And at the end of the competition, until the wonderful outfits are removed, you can pose in front of the camera in them.

"Snowballs"

Such funny New Year's contests for children and adults, like playing snowballs, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going out into the street. Before each participant, you need to put a large pile of old newspapers, after which the presenter marks the time in 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as much snow as possible.

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

"Frost Breath"

For this fun entertainment, you need to line up everyone 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 on their snowflakes with all their might, 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, unexpectedly, is 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 in the family circle 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 New Year's Eve, all those gathered can hint to each other on new names. The one who first guesses what his name is now will become the winner of this fun contest.

In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their own name, but should receive only one-word answers like “yes” or “no”. In the end, he will be able to guess his new name, and then the turn to guess passes to another player.

"MPS"

When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by such entertainment:

A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all participants in the game - the guesser can ask any questions to any of those sitting at the table in any order, but he will receive only “yes” and “no” answers. It is also impossible to try to guess what MPS is by spelling. Then, for a moment, the player leaves the room, and it is explained to all participants what MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, keep 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 MPS is.

Check out our article “Competitions for the New Year's Corporate Party” - perhaps you will also find suitable contests for the family circle in it.

"Surprise Ball"

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

"Funny Numbers"

Everyone who celebrates the holiday needs to be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone writes any number. After that, the host begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the number written on the sheet will be the answer. 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 most fun competitions for the New Year for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: a mother with a son or a father with a daughter. With one hand, the couple hugs the waist, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the “Siamese twins” will need to cut out the figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the second will manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figure will turn out to be more successful will win.
