Entertainment at the New Year's table in the family circle. "Turnip: New Year's version". Board games for the New Year's holiday
A knock on the door. Cheerful music sounds.
The girl Konopushka enters.
Konopushka.
Hello kids,
Girls and boys
Dads, mothers, uncles, aunts,
Everyone, everyone who is not at work!
I'm a Konopushka friend
I'm alive, not a toy!
I enter the house cheerfully,
I will charge everyone with fun.
After all, at the holiday you need to dance, have fun,
And to be bored and sad is not good at all!
I will check which of you
Ready for the holiday now.
Become a warm-up
Hold on tight to your hands!
They all lowered their hands
Do not stand on your head!
We repeat everything after me
The lyrics are simple:
Will come to us very soon
Happy New Year holiday!
Tram-la-la, tram-la-la, New Year's holiday!
Who does not dance, does not sing,
He will not get away from boredom!
Tram-la-la, tram-la-la, he won't get away from boredom!
When we all have fun -
We will not go home!
Tram-la-la, tram-la-la, we won't go home!
And parents are ready to have fun
Or will we be sad and languid?
I will give you all a recipe -
He will save you from any troubles!
You don't have to be ashamed of anyone
You can warm up while sitting on a chair!
(Konopushka shows movements, sitting on a chair, everyone repeats.)
Leshy Vaska appears all in rags, but stylishly dressed in khaki clothes.
He is holding a rubber ball in his hands to pump up his muscles. The head is tied with a towel.
Leshy Vaska(chewing gum).
Don't make a noise, hey there you are!
What kind of screams, what kind of din?
I don't understand anything
I'm sick, I'm dying
And you dance, shout ...
Shut up, shut up!
Go home
Stop talking.
Konopushka.
Uncle Goblin!
Goblin.
What do they call me here ?!
Insult, insult!
Young rudeness is killed!
Shut up! I'm dying!
Konopushka.
Do not Cry! Who offended you here?
Insulted, humiliated?
Goblin.
You called me uncle! Really not humiliated?
I am Vasily Dormidontych! The goblin of all the forests here are local! They should know me by sight!
I am responsible for forest order,
I do not have tea in the forest,
I hate dancing, laughter,
Children's all your fun!
Forget the holiday!
I hate all these holidays, they give me a headache.
O! I have migraines again.
This means - - newsletter
And in bed all day.
Well, there is a solid shadow in the eyes
And in the ears - shadow-shadow, shadow-shadow!
(Falls into Konopushka's arms, pretending to be completely ill.)
Konopushka.
What to do? Tell! I can't hold him! I know! We can tickle him! (Goblin rises quickly.)
Goblin.
No! No need to tickle, I'm already much better!
Konopushka.
What about your migraine?
Goblin.
And the migraine is in place
The head is like a dough
She hurts all day
There is no sleep at night either!
Konopushka.
I know, I know how to treat you!
We will make you dance!
Goblin.
I can't dance!
Konopushka.
Okay, we'll dance
You will catch up.
We will stand in a circle, and you - in the middle.
We go in a circle and, dancing, we sing:
The devil blinks like an owl,
His head ached!
Still does not sit at home -
He is like a sly fox
What a sly prankster he is!
Goblin.
I want to have fun!
I'm sad at home alone.
Have pity on Leshy Vaska,
Give me shelter, poor thing!
Konopushka.
Oh, how great it turned out!
See, and the game has appeared!
Goblin.
What kind of game is it?
Konopushka.
We walk in circles, the guys repeat the words after me and show what they are talking about. At this time you are standing in the center. And then you say these words:
I'll put the blindfold on my eyes,
I go straight to the fairy tale
I will quickly turn into a wolf
And I will chase you! Rrr!
Then you try to catch one of us. The one you catch takes your place. Deal? So everyone is in a circle? Let's play!
The goblin is blinking like an owl (Ooh-Ooh-Ooh)!
His head ached (we put our hands to the head).
Still does not sit at home -
He is like a sly fox (we sneak like a fox),
He decided to come to us for a holiday.
Sly (we squint) what a prankster he is!
Now you, Leshy, speak!
Goblin.
I'll put the blindfold on my eyes,
I go straight to the fairy tale
I will quickly turn into a wolf (makes a wolf stance)
And I will chase you! R-r-r-r-r!
(Catches up with one of the guys. The game continues.)
Konopushka.
Well, how is your head?
Goblin.
You know, it's already passed.
Thank you friends!
I never thought
What a cheerful, ringing laugh -
The medicine is the best for everyone!
I shine with joy
I don’t know what to give you.
Came up with a game for you! We need two teams. Listen carefully to what to do.
I give the ball to the first member of the team, he passes it over his head to the one standing behind, and he, in turn, passes it to the next one, but at the same time holds the ball between his knees. And so - to the end of the line, then - back. The winner is the team that is the first to do everything right. Clear?
Konopushka.
Then I give my ball to the other team. And I will root for them. And our parents will be fans. Do you agree?
Let's call one team "Jumpers", and the other - "Mischievous". Ready? So here we go!
The Leshy awards the winners with forest souvenirs: these can be Christmas tree toys-cones, nuts, etc.
Goblin.
For a wonderful game, I present the winners with a forest prize! From my forest! Here!
Konopushka.
And others also tried, they just a little unlucky today! And my parents and I will loudly tell them: “Well done! Well done! "
And now I propose to eat while Lesch and I prepare a surprise for you. Vasily Dormidontych, go ahead, we have a lot of worries!
They leave to prepare a surprise tree - small souvenir gifts with funny inscriptions inside are hung on a Christmas tree or pine branch.
Konopushka.
Vasily Dormidontych, let's put a surprise tree here. We didn't try in vain - we barely got it!
Goblin.
Where are my rods? Here they are. I choose anglers.
Konopushka.
I propose to choose this way: one of the parents, one of the guys, in turn. Fishing is unusual. Vasily Dormidontych will show.
Leshy (takes a fishing rod - this is a stick to which a rope with a large hook is tied, - brings it to a souvenir gift and removes it).
Like this! Does everyone understand? And then we open the souvenir and read the "catch". And we will be sick!
After everyone has received prizes,
Konofushka looks at his watch.
Konopushka.
We played something and completely forgot that we are expecting guests today. Who? Tell me soon! (To the child.) That's right, Santa Claus and Snegurochka.
And although they have a lot of worries these days, I hope they will come to our holiday. To do this, they need to be called loudly.
Goblin.
NS! Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, we are here!
Konopushka.
No, Vasily Dormidontych, you can't do it alone. Let the guys help you. Come on together: “Santa Claus! Snow Maiden!"
Goblin.
Something happened. Do not go! Understood! Their parents don't call them, so they don't go. Let's all together: “Santa Claus! Snow Maiden!"
New Year's music sounds. Enter Ded Moroz and Snegurochka.
Father Frost.
Oh and I'm glad to see you
At this New Year's hour!
I was in a hurry for your holiday
And he took presents!
Snow Maiden.
I see all the familiar faces
Everything sparkles and sparkles ...
How wonderful it is here for you,
At least start dancing right away!
Father Frost.
No, Snow Maiden, wait,
Look at the guys!
Snow Maiden.
I see, just a masquerade!
The grandfather is very happy with the costumes!
Who is in suits, become
Show yourself to Santa Claus!
Father Frost.
Who helped you make such a beautiful costume? Mama? What's your mom's name? In gratitude to mom, our applause.
Children recite poems, Santa Claus gives gifts.
Father Frost.
For a year I have accumulated riddles and questions ...
The Snow Maiden asks to give them to you!
Snow Maiden.
Grandpa, don't hesitate, let's start with questions! (Santa Claus makes riddles.)
Father Frost.
Here is the final riddle -
No way to guess!
Guess - squat
I'm going to dance for you! (She makes a riddle.)
Have you guessed? Well i
Glad to dance for you, friends! (Santa Claus is dancing.)
Konopushka.
Santa Claus, you promised me to hold the Olympics last year! Will?
Father Frost.
Of course it will be!
Goblin.
The guys are already changing their clothes!
Parents need to be warned in advance to bring skates or skis, sportswear for children - the competition will be held on the street.
Snow Maiden.
We meet on the hill in the yard!
Father Frost.
We are waiting for you, my friends,
I am preparing sleds, skis!
Goblin.
And I’m skates and hockey sticks!
Konopushka.
And we are snow maiden - girlfriends,
We will prepare toys for everyone
Surprises and crackers!
The Olympics are held outdoors. Parents can stay in the house. Leshy and Snegurochka make riddles for adults, ask questions, hold New Year's loto, etc.
Father Frost.
And now it's time to go -
Goodbye kids
Something is very hot for me here ...
Konopushka.
Children are having fun by the elegant Christmas tree ...
Snow Maiden.
But it's time for us to say goodbye to you!
Father Frost.
Goodbye kids!
Goblin.
Merry fun to you!
Snow Maiden.
Goodbye mom, dad. (All together) Happy New Year everyone!
An entertainment program (SHOW) for the New Year with the use of original contests is conducted by experienced presenters and beginners. In stock, each host of the holiday should have a fresh script for the New Year 2020 with a sufficient number of contests and games that will captivate guests.
For each competition, pairs or competition teams are usually formed. Then the guests have fun and gradually liberate themselves.
If guests come early
Developing a New Year's newspaper is a great way to entertain early arrivals. It cheers up and can distract early guests who make it difficult to put the finishing touches (to fill Olivier with mayonnaise).
It is optimal to offer them a pencil for entertainment.
And you can also hold a competition: who will be able to guess all the newspaper tasks faster. Indeed, the newspaper contains crosswords, erudition tasks, quizzes. It is worth giving the winner a prize.
At the beginning of the program, there are usually outdoor games.
Better to spend active entertainment in the first half of the evening. And for creative play, any time will do.
It is appropriate to prepare prizes for competitions - simple, small and inexpensive. If one of the players wins all the prizes, then it is necessary to reward the players who took second place.
This option is also available: put it under the tree, and the winner will choose.
The best contests for a New Year's corporate party
New Year's corporate party is a good opportunity to have fun with colleagues. Employees - it sounds dry and ordinary, but at a common holiday you can get to know each other better and learn a lot about the people with whom you are doing a common business. 2019 is just around the corner, and now is the perfect time to get ready for the upcoming holiday. Fun is always good, and a prepared and planned event is a double celebration, because not a second is left for boredom!
Contests are companions of any corporate party. With their help, you can entertain people of any age, unite into teams those who occupy different steps in the service hierarchy, unite and unite the team. But for the idea to succeed, you need to choose the right contests - witty and funny.
Competition "Special Assignment"
Prior preparation is required to run this competition. You will need balloons and paper. On small pieces of paper, you need to write various tasks - for example, "sing a song", "portray an ostrich", "eat a lemon." Put one note in each of the balloons and inflate them. Each of those present must choose a ball and complete the task from the note.
Ice cube competition
Several ice cubes of the same size are required to run the Ice Cube competition. If the company is small, those present are divided into two groups, if there are many people, into three or more. After the start of the game, each group is given one ice cube. The task of the group is to melt the ice cube as quickly as possible. But in what ways to do it - the participants of each of the teams decide independently.
Contest "Mysterious Person"
All those present are divided into two teams. You must first prepare a bag containing notes with the names of famous personalities - actors, politicians, singers. The members of each of the teams take one of the notes out of the bag one by one. The task of the "enemy" is to guess who is being portrayed. The winner is the team with the most guessed mysterious personalities.
Lost Bagel Contest
A small donut = a steering wheel, for example, is hung on a Christmas tree with a string. The player is blindfolded. His task is to find the lost bagel by touch, and after finding it, eat it. In total, this difficult and dangerous mission takes only 60 seconds to complete.
By the way, in order to start having fun, you don't have to wait until the end of the New Year's dinner. A competition called:
"Keen eye"
Its essence lies in the fact that one of those present names a letter (the letters y, b, b, e, and we exclude). Each of those present at the table must find an object on the table as soon as possible, the name of which begins with this letter. This can be a cutlery, a serving item, a dish ingredient, or something else.
Creative chips for leading children's New Years holidays

Props: Hats, Velcro blanks
We attach blanks for the snowman to the canvas. Playing in the key of the relay: who blinds faster.
2. Restyling of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden

We are divided into two teams: dressing up the Snow Maiden and dressing up Santa Claus. Who will dress up faster. Then we put on a New Year's show
3. "A Christmas tree was born in the forest"
We need a soundtrack: “A Christmas tree was born in the forest” Balagan Limited.
Traditionally, we dance in a round dance and sing to the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest"
4. Riding a horse
Props: two horses.
I plan to buy horses: the head of a horse on a stick and arrange obstacle races. Year of the horse after all)
5. Horse racing
Props: "horseshoes", bandage on the mouth, "saddle"
We choose several pairs. One in a pair will be a horse, the other will prepare her for the races. The first step is to equip the horse:
First step:
shoe a horse (put some shoes on each horse's leg)
fix the bridle (put a New Year's cap on your mouth)
attach a saddle (put something like a backpack on your back)
give water to (give water to the horse).
Second phase:
We arrange comic relay races between horses, for example, who can shuttle run faster over a given distance.
6. Choice of fairy-tale characters.
Props: wolf, foxes, Santa Claus cap, Snow Maiden hat, snowman, snowflakes, Christmas trees, tiger, etc.
On the sheets of paper we write the names of the heroes in advance: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Wolf, Fox, etc.
Then each pulls out someone else. The host dresses him up. When everyone is dressed up, we arrange a fabulous costume disco. You can also arrange a show of the dances of each character. Everyone goes to the center, shows their distinctive movement, everyone else repeats after him.
7. New Year's photo session
Props: cardboard smiles
Photos with different smiles.
8. We decorate the Christmas tree.
Props: tinsel, Christmas tree decorations, green raincoat.
We divide the guests into two teams. We choose one person from each team - a "herringbone", we put on a green cape or we put on a bezel with a star. All other participants will have to decorate the Christmas tree with toys, a garland, etc. Of course, you can identify the winner, but the result of all this is funny "Christmas trees" around which you can dance
9. Drifts and snowflakes
This is an attentiveness game with children.
We are not afraid of frost, we are attentive in everything
I'll say "drifts" - we sit down (squat down)
I will say "icicles" - we get up (put our hands up)
I'll say snowflakes - we're spinning (spinning)
"Fir-trees" - clap hands (clap)
Which of you is attentive, we will now find out.
10. I will freeze
Well-worn, but everyone's favorite game. Santa Claus is trying to freeze hands, noses, heels, tummies. Laughter is guaranteed!
11. "Let's not let Santa Claus out of the circle"
... and at some point the Snow Maiden, together with the children, surrounds Santa Claus and does not let him out of the circle, holding hands. The children, along with the Snow Maiden, lower their arms and squat as soon as Santa Claus tries to get out of the circle.
Fun for couples
New Years is the perfect time for married couples to take a break from their busy lives. Games are one way to do this. If you and your spouse really enjoy celebrating the new year at home, then this is the time to play various games to renew the intimacy, and more.
Love letters
Throughout the year, people are often too busy to stop and think about what their spouse means to them. New Years can be a great time to reflect on how much you love your husband or wife. Set aside an hour during the evening to write a love letter to your spouse. Think about how this year has passed, whether you have learned to value your spouse even more than before. Exchange envelopes or read them aloud to each other.
Resolutions
Resolutions in the New Year, or bad habits and character traits that you want to change in yourself.
Make a list of the resolutions you plan to implement in the new year and what things you will stop doing that annoy your husband or wife. Read the lists out loud to each other. Also, play a game where you and your partner draw up a list of resolutions to each other. Do not take everything to heart, and remember: you yourself must not offend your partner.
New Years Quiz
New Year is a time to remember all the good and happy moments that happened to you last year. Make quizzes for each other about what happened last year. Ask questions out loud. These could be questions about politics or world events, or more personal events that happened in your family. Make this process an annual tradition.
Wine tasting
Celebrating New Years quietly at home together is a great opportunity to sample something decadent or expensive, like a good bottle of wine. There is a tradition every year where you and your spouse can each buy an expensive bottle and blindly taste each other. Taste your spouse's wine and try to guess the grape variety and price. Ask your spouse to do the same for your wine, and you will see who knows their wine best.
New Year's entertaining games for guests
Pioneer.
It is required to install obstacles: children's blocks, books, chairs, etc. It is necessary to make passages, but so that they are zigzag. The participant has fins on his leg, and binoculars in his hands. The player holds binoculars, so that he reduced objects, you must pass by without touching objects. The one who did it without mistakes and faster deserves a prize.
Competition of artists.
Players receive paper and pencil (pen, felt-tip pen, etc.). Each player must have a 20-square sheet of paper. The host announces the list. Players are given the task of drawing an object or concept. The winner is the player with the most accurate reproduced list (to complicate the game, you can increase the intervals from drawing to the announcement of the results, it is permissible to include some other events). The cunning players who write, not paint, must understand that the competition is for drawing, not calligraphy, and therefore must abandon the latter. When compiling a list, it is worth taking into account that it is easy to draw a cup and remember from a drawing simply, and tea is more complicated and interesting.
Here is the approximate content of a list of 20 words: chair, dishes, curtain, cream, street, lantern, pharmacy, night, chicken, fruit, library, sheet, physics, wind, stupidity, money, holiday, frost, hat, box.
Game: What's in common?
The presenter announces 2 words, for example, a knife and a light bulb. The players take turns saying what these items have in common. The player who named the common feature last wins.
Auction.
Players choose a topic and alternately name words about this topic. The player with the last word to call the word wins.
Come up with a function.
The presenter voices the subject. Players agree not to name the main function, but can come up with what else the item can be used for.
Dancing on the newspaper.
Newspapers are spread on the floor. The newspaper is a dance floor for the couple. Half a minute later, the newspaper is folded in half. After another half a minute, it is the same. The competition continues until there is a couple left who manage not to go beyond their scrap of newspaper.
There are a great many contests for New Year's corporate events. And it's good that there is still enough time to prepare for the holiday. If the entertainment is selected and organized correctly, the participants of the holiday will not be bored.
Also see: which many will like.
All over the world, New Year is one of the most beloved holidays, everyone is waiting for it with special impatience, and traditionally it is just a family holiday.

Creative person
This creative tabletop competition will help you celebrate the New Year in a fun and varied way. All those present can participate in it. Among the celebrants, a bag containing many pieces of paper is passed, on each of which one word is written on the New Year's theme (Snow Maiden, snowdrift, snowflake, Christmas tree). Having received the bag, the participant pulls out one note at random from there, reads the word aloud, after which he must remember and perform a fragment of a verse or song with this word. The bag is then passed to the next participant. A prize is awarded for the best performance.
Mask
The presenter puts on the player's face a mask of an animal or character so that he does not see it. Then the player begins to ask the audience questions, trying to guess who he has become. Guests can only answer with a one-word yes or no. If the player guesses what the mask is on, then it becomes his prize.
Black box
Family contests organized for the New Year should contain some kind of riddle, such as this one. The presenter hides an object in a black box in advance. The task of the audience is to guess what lies there, using their extrasensory abilities and asking 1 question, to which you can answer "yes" or "no". If the first time no one succeeds in guessing, then the presenter begins to give small tips. The competition turns out to be interesting and intriguing. Anyone who guessed a mysterious object becomes its owner.
Secret name
The advantage of this New Year's competition is that everyone present can have fun with it all New Year's Eve. Before sitting down at the festive table, all guests need to attach a sheet of paper to their backs, on which the name of an object, animal or plant is written - this will be the temporary name of the person. Everyone will know him except himself. During the meal, everyone can try to find out their "name" by asking others leading questions. You can't just spy! Answers can only be monosyllabic "yes" and "no". The one who is the first to guess his name on the back will be the winner. But even after that, the game can continue - after all, others are also interested in knowing their names.
Decipher
To arrange this New Year's Eve banquet competition at home for the whole family, you need to prepare a few cards in advance. Words should be encrypted on them, rearranging the letters in places in them. It will take some time to solve such a puzzle.
For example, the word "propeller" can be converted to "preleprol" or otherwise. In order not to get confused later, and it would be easier to check the answers, the cards need to be numbered and a separate list of words encrypted on them should be compiled.
These cards must be dealt to the players. Whoever of them is the first to correctly decipher his word will be the winner. But sometimes another word can be made from the same letters, then the player who finds two answers at once will be recognized first.
Movable
Dress up the tree
A traditional activity for large families - decorating the tree with all kinds of toys and garlands, can be turned into an interesting New Year's competition for the whole family. Divide all household members into two teams. Designate one person from each team as a "Christmas tree", and the rest must, competing for speed, decorate their Christmas tree. Decorations can be tinsel and soft toys, which can be attached to the clothes of the "Christmas tree" with clothespins.
You can find other entertainments for your little ones in the article “Children's contests for the New Year”.
Get to know a relative
Funny New Year's contests in the family circle rarely take place without it. Some of the household members are blindfolded and woolen mittens are put on their hands. Then one of the participants in the feast approaches him, and the presenter invites the player to find out who is in front of him. The player can feel the figure of a person without taking off his mittens, trying to guess who is in front of him. In fact, even a close and well-known person is not so easy to guess.
Flying snowflake
For this competition you need to prepare "snowflakes" - blue balloons. The presenter distributes them to everyone who wants to have fun, and on command, everyone must throw them up together and then, blowing on their ball from below, do not allow it to land on the floor. The winner is the one whose "snowflake" stayed in the air for the longest time.
Don't wake up Santa Claus
Be sure to think about the fun for the parents, because they will be happy not only to look at their children, but also to take part in the entertainment. For example, a New Year's competition may be like this: grandfather is appointed as Santa Claus, seated on a chair and blindfolded. You need to put a gift (box) next to it. Further, each household member must walk as quietly as possible past Santa Claus, so as not to wake him up and steal a gift. But if the grandfather "wakes up" and catches the kidnapper, then he will have to fulfill the wishes of the whole family. Well, the kidnapper who successfully stole the box is already with the prize.
Super Detective
If someone is looking for what family contests in the New Year will be of interest to representatives of different generations, then the "super detective" is perfect. You need to choose 2-3 volunteers - detectives, who are taken to the next room so that they do not know what is happening in the main one. And there the presenter quickly begins to lay out a large number (several dozen) of pre-cut snowflakes in various places (on the table, under the table, under the tree, on furniture, and so on). When all the snowflakes take their places, the "detectives" are allowed into the room, who must find every single snowflake. Those present can prompt them with the words "hot" or "cold". The investigator who finds the most snowflakes wins.

Keen eye
This entertainment is suitable for all ages, but especially for children. Here it is necessary to prepare in advance the sweets, which should be hung on the New Year's tree so that they are not visible. Players must find them. The found candies will become prizes for the players.
Guess!
New Year's contests are often held at home with Santa Claus. In this case, he needs to give him a bag of sweets and small toys in advance. When grandfather bursts into the house, all the household members should joyfully meet him, then each in turn should blindfold and take a present out of the bag at random, and then try to guess what he is. That will be joy for children, and adults too!
Random gift
When everyone is already tired of the New Year's table, cool family contests, for example, an unusual presentation of gifts, will help to continue the fun. It is necessary to prepare small prizes (preferably with the symbols of the year): sweets, key rings, stationery, which are tied with strings to a rope thrown across the room over their heads. The players are then blindfolded and given safety scissors with blunt ends. Those blindly must discover the hanging prizes, cut them off and become their owners. Households of all ages will be happy to play this game.
Piano
Households sit in a circle and put their palms on the knees of neighbors. One of them begins to beat a simple rhythm on the knee of a neighbor, he must reproduce it on the knee of the next player. This task only seems easy at first glance, it will take some time until all participants can beat off the given rhythm accurately.
Let's remember childhood
This nostalgic New Year competition with family can appeal to different generations. You need to say a phrase or sing a piece of a song of a famous fairy tale or cartoon character, without mentioning his name. For example, “I am a man in the prime of his life”, “He who helps people is wasting his time”, “Normal heroes always go around”. If no one remembers who they are talking about, the player who made the guess begins to give hints without naming the hero's name.

Six children's games for the New Year 2020 in the family circle
The game "Keen eye"
This Christmas game is suitable for both children and adults. But first of all for children. Preparing it is simple: just stock up on sweets and hang them on the Christmas tree so that it is not easy to notice them right away. The players' task is to find them. Several people participate in the game at once. And the sweets they found will serve as a kind of "prize": whoever finds them and how many will take them.
The game "Burst - took off"
The props for the game are balloons, which the participants at the table inflate one by one. For a bursting balloon, the loser reads a New Year's poem or sings a song.
Game "Christmas toys"
For this game, you need a presenter, the role of which is usually played by dad or mom. The requisite here is a table on which unbreakable Christmas tree decorations are placed. The latter must be one fewer than the participating children. The presenter selects funny music, and the children walk around the table to it. After a certain period of time, he stops the music, and at this moment everyone must grab a toy. The one who did not get it loses. However, you can also please him with a consolation prize: candy, gingerbread, cookies, etc.
Game "Gift from Santa Claus"
This is a game of attention. Here Santa Claus acts as a presenter. A gift is placed on the chair. The playing children line up in front of the chair. Santa Claus names different numbers, each of which corresponds to a specific action. For example, on the account:
- "1" - children raise their right hand;
- "2" - raise the left leg;
- "3" - raise both hands
- "4" - stomp with the right foot;
- "5" - stomp with their left foot;
- "6" - jump;
- "7" - take away the gift.
The child who is most attentive and most responsive to commands wins.
Game "What are the Christmas trees"
The entertainment resembles a round dance or "Loaf". Children stand in a circle and join hands. The presenter tells what Christmas trees are like in the forest. Children at the word:
- "Small" - converge in a small circle;
- "Big" - diverge to a large circle;
- "High" - raise their hands up;
- "Little" - sit down together.
The game develops attention and teaches to work in a team.
Game "Fashion Rat"
Suitable for art lovers. The players are divided into teams. Each receives paper and a marker and draws the coolest and most fashionable rat - the symbol of the year. The result is usually pretty funny.
Contests and games for the New Year's holiday with the family
Competition "Business - time"
An interesting activity for the newly assembled guests. Each is given a piece of paper with a time and a task. As a result, in the midst of a holiday, someone can suddenly cackle, someone can hug everyone present, and someone can say a toast in the voice of an old man. The most artistic will win.
Competition "Gift under the tree"
Colored stripes are drawn on the floor or colored ribbons are laid out. The number of these should be equal to the number of participating children. To make the game more interesting, it is better to complicate the route by making the colored "paths" twisting or zigzagging. Or by forcing them to intersect with other paths. Children are given cards on which the method of movement along the "path" is written: to jump, walk in a goose step or with their backs forward. Crawl on all fours, etc. Each path should lead to a tree with gifts underneath. Whoever gets there first wins
Hot and cold game
The New Year's gift is hiding in the room. Then a child enters there, who must find him. If he comes close to the gift, they say "warm", if very close - "hot", and if far away - "cold".
Contest "Assemble the puzzle"
Pictures with a snowman are suitable for the puzzle. They are cut into several pieces. And now the children must put the snowman back together. The winner is the one who does it before everyone else.
Game "Plasticine Snowman"
In this game, the participants are split in twos. A couple can include an adult and a child. Each player from the pair is tied one hand - one right, the other left. Thus, one hand remains free. These hands are used to mold a snowman from plasticine. The winner is the couple who managed to mold their snowman more beautifully and more quickly.
The game "Relatives cannot be confused with anyone"
Often there are several members of the same family in a company. The player must find his relatives. The difficulty is that he is blindfolded and mittens are put on his hands. Of course, he will search, feeling everyone. The leader brings different people, including relatives, to the leader one by one, and he feels and calculates his own. It will be very funny, but it is almost impossible to complete the task with mittens.
Competition "Ingenious detective"
A whole team of detectives takes part in this competition, but only one of them will be brilliant. Children can take part too, and some of them can even play along. The detectives are taken out of the room so that they do not see what is happening in it. And there the remaining guests hide snowflakes in the most unexpected places. The more detectives, the more snowflakes, about 5-7 per brother. You can hide snowflakes under the tablecloth, under the food plates, and on the chandelier. On command, the detectives run into the room and start looking for snowflakes. If they don’t know how to look into secluded corners, you can prompt them with the words “hot” or “cold”. The one who collects the most trophies is declared a genius detective.

After all, the festive mood is the work of the most talented and hardworking, namely you and me. Take care of your Christmas decorations and accessories in advance.
Let, in addition to an elegant Christmas tree, your home be decorated with garlands, New Year's candles, themed decorative pillows, toys.
Do various New Year's crafts with the children, draw a poster with the words “Happy New Year!”, Hang balloons. Let the magical atmosphere and the feeling of a holiday be in every corner of your home, so that you would like to spend the New Year with your family more than once, without leaving your home.
Prepare a plan in advance, as well as props for New Year's entertainment. Browse the scenarios for children's and adult contests and games, choose from them suitable for age and number of people. For each competition, create a separate card with the rules, and if there are quizzes - with questions and answers. Prepare funny music for competitions and dances - it can be songs from cartoons or New Year's movies. To make the holiday even more interesting, come up with festive costumes. Stock up on masks, ears and other attributes of fabulous and New Year's characters.
Write notes with the characters and put them in a hat, so everyone will choose a suit for themselves, drawing out a note without looking. With this "distribution of roles" and you can start fun entertainment.
New Year's entertainment
To celebrate the New Year, you must first of all spend the old one. Create a poster with photographs of the most important events of the past year. Have everyone write a funny word or phrase that they associate with the moments in the photographs.
It's more fun to remember together! And in order not to forget about the most important achievements, you can arrange the presentation of awards. On the Internet, find samples of certificates and diplomas, enter comic texts and print. For example, a diploma certifying the award of the best grandfather in the world or a diploma to a beloved dad for providing modest family requests and cooking scrambled eggs.
Magic sweets
On New Year's Eve, it is especially hard to believe in a miracle. How can you do without fortune-telling if you so want to know what awaits there in the future? Therefore, include fortune telling games in your New Year's scenario for the house. Print beautiful candy wrappers with predictions, wrap candies in them and hang them on the tree. Prophecies can be completely different: in poetry, prose, long or short, the main thing is that they are kind and bring joy to others.
Examples of New Year's predictions:
- "In March, May and June, wait for your fortune."
- "You will always have delicious food in your house."
- “Although you don’t learn lessons, you’ll get a hundred A's.”
- "A lot of travel and wonderful happenings await."
- "Fate will bring a surprise and be very lucky in something."

It will be very interesting to play the costume. It is so interesting to look at dad in the form of a bunny, or at a snowflake grandfather.

Here you can also include dance and music contests, karaoke. And don't forget to reward the winners!
Dancing!
Invite children and adults, build them according to their height and offer to make a train with funny music. The picture will look very funny where a lanky teenager stands in front, grandparents in the middle, and a three-year-old baby in the "last trailer". Such a locomotive, of course, will quickly crumble, but this is also good, because by this time the guests will be ready to dance.
And if relatives and friends love riddles, puzzles and adventures, you can include a quest in the New Year's family scenario. On the Internet there are many ready-made original scenarios for home quests on various topics with interesting tasks for all ages. You can order a quest with ready-made colorful cards in the form of postcards or download an electronic version with the necessary kit and print it yourself.
Giving gifts
One of the most important items in your family New Year scenario should be giving gifts. So that it is not trivial and boring, think of something like a small New Year's quest.
Instead of sticky notes with names of who the gift is for, attach sticky notes with funny characteristics to help you find out.
For example:
- the most famous bully in the school;
- to someone who does not know how to swim;
- the holder of the school gold medal;
- someone who broke his arm in the second grade;
- to the one who has read the books the most.
In addition to having fun and thought, family and guests can get to know each other better. And if you want to make your New Year's scenario at home even funnier, then you can arrange a search operation with a map on which you can mark with a cross the places where the absent-minded Santa Claus forgot his gifts. So you can turn your family New Year into a real adventure.
It is worth making homemade aromatic pastries. Pies with several types of fillings, rolls, kulebyaki are well suited.
Recipes
Pay special attention to the festive table in drawing up the program for the New Year. In addition to an elegant tablecloth, napkins in harmony with it and beautiful dishes, you need to take care of festive, unusual, and most importantly delicious dishes. The Internet is replete with various recipes for a home New Year's feast, and you can choose those that will satisfy the tastes of even the most special gourmets in the family, including the smallest ones.
