Remember: what is ideal for a small group of vacationers is not at all suitable for a large corporate party. And at home you can afford more than in the same restaurant.

New Year's contests for a home holiday

In small companies, it is worth giving preference to those contests for the New Year, which involve the inclusion of everyone present, so that no one gets bored. And it is not so difficult to take 5-7 people in one competition.

Take care of the prizes in advance. Even an adult wants to get some material proof of his victory. Let it be the most ordinary sweets, tangerines or simple souvenirs with the symbol of the year. At the end of the evening, participants can count who collected the most prizes. It's a lot of fun too.

New year melody

For this competition, you will need several identical bottles, into which water is poured to different levels. It turns out to be a kind of musical instrument. Bottles are put on the table, and guests are invited to play any New Year's melody on these bottles using an ordinary spoon. The winner is the one who is reputed to have produced the most similar melody.

Beard joke

Each person in the company in turn begins to tell some kind of anecdote. If one of the others says that he knows this anecdote and really continues it, then the narrator is put on a wadded beard. In the end, the winner is the one with the shortest beard. And the most "bearded" one can be appointed as Santa Claus.

Find a Christmas tree

Another very funny competition for New Year... To do this, you will need to purchase a car fragrance in the form of a Christmas tree in advance. They usually have a very strong, specific odor. It is hidden somewhere in the room, and guests must find the item by smell.

Hold the snowflake

In this competition, some cotton wool is required again. You need to make some semblance of a small and light snowflakes... It should be possible to hold it suspended in air.

This competition can be attended by 3 people at the same time. Gender the participants does not matter. One of the three is placed in the center of the room. He will new year gift... The other two are bred different sides from the "present" and blindfold. One is given ribbons in his hands, he must touch the bows on the gift. The second should also untie them by touch.

Brook

This competition is designed for a rather warm company. A long paper sheet is laid on the floor, but not too wide. A roll of standard wallpaper is ideal. Further, women are offered to overcome the "stream" without getting their feet wet, that is, to walk along its two banks with their legs wide apart. The first time women try to do it with open eyes, the second time - with closed ones.

And when the first of them overcomes the "trickle", the rest should be outside the room. When the woman finishes the test, but has not yet untied her eyes, one of the men present falls on the "trickle".

The woman's eyes are untied. She sees a man and is naturally embarrassed. Now invited to participate next woman... The first one sees how the competition actually went, calms down and laughs.

In my pants

This is one of the rare occasions when regular newspaper headlines can be useful. Journalists are now especially eager to compete in originality. Cut out the most unexpected ones and place them in an envelope. Then this envelope goes around. Each participant takes out one heading and says "and in my pants ..." and reads the heading from the pulled out piece of paper.

New Year's contests for a small company in a restaurant

In this case, there are some peculiarities. Funny contests on New Year's Eve, the restaurant can be quite mobile, but not too much, so as not to damage the furniture and dishes. Therefore, you should not involve all those present in the contests at once. Better to attract 2-3 people. Contests are also encouraged to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.

Alphabetical greetings

Invite the guests to take turns congratulating the audience and making toasts, not just like that, but alphabetically. The first says a toast in the letter "a", the second - in "b" and so on. The most fun, of course, begins towards the end of the alphabet, in the region of the letters "y", "s", as well as a hard and soft sign. The winner is the one whose congratulation or toast is the most fun.

The original assumes a competition with a fake, drawn cake, on each piece of which predictions are written or drawn. So, a drawn penny portends wealth; the heart is, of course, love; envelope - news, news, and so on.

You can also hold a competition with a real cake, in every piece of which such a prediction is hidden. Fortune-telling and predictions are invariably successful. People always want to know what the future holds for them. And even if fortune-telling is comic, it gives a lot of pleasure.

Storyteller

Perfect competition for the new year in a restaurant. Firstly, guests will not have to get up anywhere, and secondly, it is quite fun and interesting. Remind guests of the plots of several famous fairy tales, offer to choose one for yourself and retell, but slightly change the genre. It could be a detective, a thriller, love story... If you wish, you can spend several rounds, changing fairy tales and changing genres. In each round, the author of the most interesting version is chosen as the winner.

Two oxen

Two participants are selected. They are placed with their backs to each other, a rope tied in a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a team. A chair or table with a prize is placed in front of each participant at a distance of several meters. The task of the participants is to drag the opponent and be the first to grab their prize.

Jelly

For this cool competition for the New Year, you will need some delicate product: jelly, jellied meat, soufflé. The task of the participants is to eat their portion as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks. This competition is good in that it does not involve getting up from the table, there are enough oars for both participants and spectators.

Chefs

Another "sit-down" competition. Each participant is given a pen and a piece of paper, where he must write down everything New Year's dishes, for example, with the letter "n". When the lists are ready, the participants read them one by one. The one with the longest list wins.

You can slightly modernize this competition. Participants do not make preliminary lists, but simply name their dishes one by one. You can't repeat yourself. Those who find it difficult to answer are eliminated. The last survivor wins. This competition awakens the appetite very well and is convenient to take place, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.

New Year's contests for corporate events

Corporate events usually involve the presence in one place of a large number of unfamiliar people. It is here that the employees of different departments meet for the first time. ordinary life They do not contact each other in any way, or even at all are at enmity. Therefore, competitions for New Year's corporate parties should unobtrusively bring people together. Here, team entertainment, pair competitions and the like are used.

Chief Accountant

Various banknotes in various currencies are randomly drawn on the poster. Banknotes must be recognizable. The task of the participants is to count the banknotes from the first to the last. Moreover, all currencies must be counted simultaneously: 1 ruble, 1 dollar, 1 euro, 2 euros, 2 dollars, 2 rubles. The winner is the one who never fails.

Diver

Since a separate room is most often rented for corporate events, you can usually afford mobile contests here. For the competition "Diver" you will need two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in pairs, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking into it from the back, try to cover the distance as quickly as possible. It is quite difficult, so you should not make the distance too long, and even more difficult, with a lot of turns and obstacles.

Baba Yaga

The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants put one foot in the bucket and support it with their hand. In the second hand they are given a mop. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. It remains only to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.

Discoverer

Also good for New Year's corporate parties team competitions... For example, the following. The participants are divided into 2 teams and each of them is given a ball. First the teams open new planet, that is, inflate the resulting balloon. And then they pick up the markers and begin to populate this planet. That is, draw the inhabitants on the ball. When the allotted time ends, the leader counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.

Broken Phone and Associations

Do not forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a damaged phone. Participants are seated in a circle or a chain, depending on the possibilities of the hall. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers a hidden word in his neighbor's ear. It is usually advised to do this quickly and indiscriminately. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, in long chain there are many people who hear it wrong. Whispering is not conducive to intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final words.

The association game is not very different from the "telephone". In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbors their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - a holiday, and so on.

The main thing is that the suit fits

It is better to hold this competition towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already slightly drunk, get to know each other and are ready for really fun contests. A bag with various funny clothes is prepared in advance: felt boots, scarves, scarves, family panties, diapers for adults, quilted jackets, glasses with a mustache, and so on. The contestants are seated in a circle, and a bag of clothes is passed around while the music is playing. When the music stops, the person who still has the bag, without looking, takes out one object and puts it on. The winner is announced to be the one wearing the least “competitive” clothing. By the end, though, everyone looks fun.

snowman

The participants are again divided into two teams and 8 inflated balloons are given to them. Each team has balls of a different color. For example: red and blue. The letters are written on the balls with a marker so that the word "Snowman" is the result.

Other words can be formed from these 8 balls. This is what the speed teams will do. The moderator asks questions, the answers to which can be laid out from the given letters. A point is earned by the team that will complete the task faster. The team with more point than the opponent wins.

Paper dress

This competition is attended by pairs. The task of a man is to create a dress for his female model from toilet paper... You can't use anything other than paper. But you can do whatever you want with it: twist, plug, tie in a bow. The contestants are removed to a separate room, then the girls come out and show off their outfits. Please note that the model must exit into IT by itself. The audience chooses the winners.

We always look forward to the New Year with great impatience, because this is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. Each family carefully prepares for it: they develop a menu, plan 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 most 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

Drinking funny contests it's easy to find 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 corporate party 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 one has in her hands disposable cup with wine (champagne and spirits are better not to take, as you can choke). Place the glasses for everyone in right hand... On command, they must drink the neighbor in turn: first the last person gives water to 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 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 stools plastic cups 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 at a time, they run up to the stool, 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";

"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 writes briefly his great desire: "I want to …". 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 Christmas decorations (preferably those that do not break) and clothespins. First, attach all the toys to the clothespins by strings. Several pairs of the opposite sex are called, men are blindfolded, for a certain period of time they should hook as much as possible more toys per women's clothing... 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 tale, 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 the spouses or real couple... But in adults, especially for New Year's table, with good feeling humor that is seasoned with a glass of champagne is usually not a problem.

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
