Music contests for the new year for adults. Relay race for a friendly company. New Year Games


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

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

  1. Make a plan for games and contests. A group of adults will need to eat and raise their glasses for the new year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural course of the party.
  2. Prepare props. Having decided what you will play at home for the new year, make a list of what you need for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to themed contests (I use small gift bags for this).
  3. Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute Christmas toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.
  4. 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.
  5. Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.

Collection of contests and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be offered to burst balls, inside 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 embedded. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut the ball they like, and then read it out loud to all the guests - such a simple but sweet entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and contests based on the “question-answer” model always attract a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host 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 you wish, you can record some sequence and play several rounds. When all the guests have coped with the task, the presenter 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 by picking up a piece of paper with the recorded 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 fun is funny contests for the new year. Of course, for the company of retirees it will be necessary to select something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game "Not a word of truth."


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

Anyone who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, based on 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 shove several slices of tangerine by both cheeks and say something like "I am a hamster and I eat grain, do not touch it - it is mine, and whoever takes it is the end!"... Explosions of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the "punishment" of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the new year 2019, you can play snipers. The funnest thing is to play this game when the participants are already a little drunk - 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 Christmas balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

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

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's contests for adults can be less athletic.


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 crafting, you can only use 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 life hack- in every company there are people who do not take an active part in contests and just try to sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint their jury - you can make them cards with grades in advance, offer them to say a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled from the table.

And, of course, the sight of a mother who speaks soulfully 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 looking for contests 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 reindeer. Here you do not need to divide guests into teams, you just need to invite them to split into pairs.


Each pair has a "deer" and "Santa" (you can give one of the improvised horns, and the other Santa Claus caps - both are sold for mere pennies in the store of fixed prices before the new year).

The "deer" needs to be blindfolded and made a sled - no need to be smart, a simple clothesline or lace that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A track is built from the pins, 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 drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape 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 each new year wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - guests should name them.


The presenter 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 congratulations. Only now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should prompt them. All in disagreement offer adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's version"

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


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

"Strictly alphabetical"

In one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor, and reminds everyone present that the New Year's celebration is just beginning, but the alphabet is already difficult to remember. In this connection, the presenter proposes to fill the glasses and raise them, but strictly in alphabetical order.


Each guest should make a short toast to their own letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second must start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:
  1. A An absolute must-have for happiness in the new year!
  2. B Let's go healthy in the new year!
  3. V Let's drink for the old year!
  4. E If we don't get drunk, we'll have to gorge ourselves!
The task for everyone present is to make toasts to each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth a drink, becomes it!

"Bunnies"

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



Everyone stands in a circle and hold hands, the presenter walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone 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 presenter pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made 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 go into a rage.

The main trick of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have alternately squatted on the names of other animals, the presenter says "Bunny!"

Naturally, everyone laughs, and a bunch of smalls gathers on the floor!

"News from the new year"

An excellent competition that you can play without leaving the table.



The presenter will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with 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, travel bag.
  • New 2019 year, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
  • Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
  • Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
  • Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
  • Snowman, beard, tights, bike, school.
  • Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.
How do you come up with news? Set an example for guests by showing that you need to use all the words, and the stranger the news, the more interesting.

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

"Jumping into the new year"

In the family circle, as entertainment for the new year, we often arrange jumps, and 2019 will not be an exception, I am sure - this is already a kind of tradition.


So, how it happens: after having drunk for the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it is dynamic, energetic and bright!

And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - someone has time to draw several miniatures, someone has enough time to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or the final touches remain. After the President's speech, the host invites everyone to join hands, count the chorus chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the realization 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 most of the most"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. A good way to keep guests occupied is to give them quirks, but few people just want to compete, right?


Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets or small gifts on the tree. It is best to opt for curly chocolate or other sweet Christmas tree decorations. We supply each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions over which guests will have to reflect and get to know each other better (ideally when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).

What to write on labels:

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

"Song from the Hat"

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

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

By the way, it will be possible to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a smart idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one from the famous New Year songs of the past.

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

"Mittens"

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


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

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

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

Creative New Year's 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 through the holes and depict Santa Claus. At this moment they do not see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give the task to some to portray the Snow Maidens, and to others - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to the fairytale character.

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

"Handing out the roles"

You can start funny contests for the new year for the family with this kind of entertainment.


Prepare more attributes of fabulous New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year with a proposal to find out who still rules the show.

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

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

"Photo tests"

What are some cool New Year contests without photos?


Make a photo area and collect some props in this corner - guests can take pictures in different ways, 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 most hungry Santa Claus;
  • the most generous Santa Claus;
  • the kindest Santa Claus;
  • the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
  • the most overeating guest;
  • the happiest guest;
  • the most cunning Baba Yaga;
  • the most evil Kashchei;
  • the strongest hero;
  • the most capricious princess;
  • the largest snowflake;
  • etc…
By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite the guests to draw out the role in which they have to 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 look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do it literally in a few minutes.

"Little things from Santa Claus"

Tell the guests a legend about how Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, and the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.


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


As pleasant little things there 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 predictor, 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 2019 is just around the corner!

Looking for dance competitions for parties?

Today we have prepared a large number of games for you that your guests will love! Memorize, or better - write!

Fun box

This competition can be held as a fun lottery. Each guest present takes out a number for himself and stores it until the start of the competition is announced. After that, according to the "standard" number, he is given a thing from a fun box. For example, a guest who pulled out # 16 gets a baby cap.

The conditions of the competition are simple - during the next dance section, do not take the thing out of the box, have fun and use it during the dances. Trust me, you will take a lot of funny photos!

List of things for the fun box: ties, belts, funny glasses and hats, bathing caps, robes, shirts, capes, hair curlers, various horns (which are used for the new year or sold in the circus) and masks.

Ideal for a party where the audience can be divided into teams of girls and men. If the forces are unequal, divide the guests equally. The first one is started by the girls, exposing a representative from herself, who must show a couple of movements to the music (for 5-10 seconds), then she calls herself a partner and he must repeat her movement and show his own. In turn, after a solo performance, the guy challenges the next representative of the women's team to a duel, etc.

Alternating one after another, each of those present will show their dancing skills.

At the end, you can arrange a full-fledged dance department.

Musicforcompetition: Gloria Estefan - Conga, Locksley - The Whip, Five - Everybody Get Up, Quest Pistols - Heat (DJ ED & DJ NICKY RICH RADIO MIX), Tacabro - Taca ta, Lady Gaga - Manicure.

People meet, people get lost ...

A couple (a girl and a guy) is called to the stage, which begins the competition with the first dance. After 30 seconds-1 minute of the dance, they disperse and choose any of the guests present as their partners. Now we have two couples dancing. After the music stops again, four people go hunting :). In a few minutes, all the guests are already dancing on the floor! It is best to create a mix of slow and fast compositions.

Music for the competition: Lounge Cover - The Show Must Go On, Ani Lorak - Light Your Heart, Lana Del Ray - Young And Beautiful, Vera Brezhneva - Good Day, Ani Lorak - Hug Me Tighter, Secret - Spotlight.

Dance festival

All couples wishing to participate in the competition are selected. DJ includes a musical mix from music of different directions - pop, jive, tango, etc. The aim of the competition is to dance to the most appropriate music being played.

For the greatest effect, you can choose a jury that will competently choose the winner!

It is advisable to choose small musical sketches (choruses or characteristic plays) up to 30 seconds long.

Musicforcompetition: The Platters - Sixteen Tons, Matia Bazar - Vacanze Romane, Bump & Stromae - Papaoutai (Samba), Vass - Rowdy Arabia (Victor Niglio Edit), Fergie - A little party never kill nobody, Sergei Prokofiev - Waltz (from War and Peace ), Lisa Bassenge & The J - Chestra-Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps, Carlos_Gardel - Tango_Por_Una_Cabeza.

Sexy bottle

All those present are divided into two teams - girls and boys - and stand opposite each other. The presenter gives a bottle to one of the dancers, which must be placed between the legs and during the dance given to a person of the opposite sex. The aim of the competition is to do it in the most colorful and erotic way. The most beautiful couple gets a prize at the end :).

Musicforcompetition: THE HARDKISS - Make-Up, Dr. John - Revolution, Elize - Hot Stuff (Donna Summer cover)

Surprise

Reminiscent of the "Fun Box". However, in this competition, all those present dance in a circle, passing the box to each other in turn. At one point, the music is muffled, the one in whose hands the box is, chooses one thing and puts it on.

Musicforcompetition: Elize - Hot Stuff (Donna Summer cover), Shaft - Mambo Italiano

Digital dancing

Guests are dancing on the dance floor in an "organized crowd". At the moment when the music stops, the presenter shouts out any number, for example "FIVE". Everyone present should be divided into small groups. The guest who was left without a team is eliminated from the game.

The last 2-3 participants are awarded.

Musicforcompetition: Fall Out Boy - Dance, Dance, Ylvis - The Fox, Bianca - Night will come

The most anticipated and large-scale holiday is undoubtedly the New Year. The joyful anticipation of the celebration comes much earlier because of the preparations that begin long before the holiday itself. For an excellent celebration of the New Year, it is not enough just a smartly prepared table, a magnificent outfit and all kinds of New Year's decorations in the room, headed by a Christmas tree.

You also need to take care of the fun. And for this, music contests for the New Year are perfect, which will not only entertain guests, but also help warm up between the receptions of all sorts of New Year's table dishes. Like any other, music contests for the new year must be provided with one cheerful, reliable, and most importantly, pre-prepared presenter.

New Year's competition №1: Snowballs

As a child, in winter, absolutely everyone played snowballs. This New Year's music competition will return all guests to a bright childhood and allow them to frolic without going outside.

For the competition, you will need, respectively, the snowballs themselves - 50-100 pieces, which can be rolled from ordinary cotton wool. The presenter turns on cheerful, groovy music and all the guests present, previously divided into two teams, begin to throw cotton balls at each other. After turning off the music, the teams need to collect all the scattered snowballs around the apartment. The team that has collected the most is declared the winner. Do not turn off the music too quickly, let the guests frolic and remember their easy childhood years.

New Year's Contest # 2: You Can't Throw Out Words from a Song

The presenter needs to write in advance on pieces of paper various words related to winter and the new year, for example: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, an icicle, frost, a round dance, and so on. All the leaves are folded into a bag or hat and the participants must take them out in turn and sing a song on a word in a piece of paper.

The songs must be about winter either. The winner is the participant who sang songs on all the sheets he pulled out for himself in accordance with the terms of the competition. If there are several such participants, it's okay, there will be several winners, because this is a new year!

New Year's competition number 3: Ticket

All guests should line up in two circles: a large circle - men, a small circle (inside a large one) - women. Moreover, in a small circle of participants there should be one less than in a large one.

The presenter turns on the music and two circles begin to move in different directions. After turning off the music, men need to embrace a woman - their ticket to the next stage. Whoever did not get the ticket is declared a hare. For him, the remaining participants come up with a fun task that must be completed in pairs. The "hare" chooses a participant from a small circle to be his assistants. After completing the task, the game continues.

New Year's competition №4: Musical thoughts

For this competition, you will need pre-prepared phonogram fragments with different songs in accordance with the number of guests. The presenter transforms into the image of a magician and chooses an assistant for himself. Then the presenter approaches the male guest and moves his hands over his head, the assistant at this moment turns on the phonogram, and all those present hear the guest's musical thoughts:

Then the presenter approaches the guest woman and, running his hands over her head, hear all the musical thoughts of this heroine:

The presenter conducts such magical manipulations until the guests hear the musical thoughts of all those present at the holiday.

New Year's competition №5: Talented musician

The presenter builds on the table from empty bottles and cans something like an organ or a xylophone. Men take a spoon or fork and take turns trying to perform something musical on this non-standard. Women in this competition act as judges, they choose the winner, whose “piece” turned out to be more melodic and pleasing to the ear.

Music contests for the new year can and should be very different and their number can hardly be counted. Competitions should be selected in accordance with the number and age of guests. You can come up with your own contests, spending a little time on it. But one thing is certain: the most anticipated holiday of the year will surely become merry and unlike any other new year, all guests will be satisfied. And all this thanks to music competitions.

Cool contests for the New Year

Family table contests

1. New Year's predictions. For this part of the New Year's program, you should prepare in advance. You will have two bags at hand (you can replace them with caps), in which you should put pieces of paper with notes. So, in one bag put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction, and in the other - with the prophecies themselves. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all the guests from each take a piece of paper. First, from the first piece of paper, the name written on it is read, and then from the second, the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are voiced. 2. Honest confession. This game also requires preliminary preparation - write funny words (kikimora, deer, capricious, booger and so on) on small pieces of paper. So, someone pulls out a candy wrapper with one of the words (for example, capricious), and with a serious face, looking into the eyes of his neighbor, says to him: "I am capricious." If no one laughed, then a neighbor picks up the baton, and this continues in a circle until someone laughs. After that, the fun begins again with a laugh. 3. Phrases of congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Refill your glasses and give a festive toast. The congratulatory phrase should be pronounced in turn by each person sitting at the common table, but it is important that they begin with letters in alphabetical order (first a toast is pronounced with the letter "A", the next participant says a toast with the letter "B", and so on. everyone will speak). The next round of toasts is allowed to start with the letter you left off. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be received by the person who came up with the funniest toast. 4. Guess the riddle. For this contest, you should stock up on regular balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the paper and put it inside the balloon, then inflate it. The participant needs to burst the ball and guess the riddle. If the answers from his lips still do not sound, then he will need to complete the task invented by all the participants in the game. Examples of these funny riddles: "What does a student have in common with a lizard?" (Ability to get rid of the "tail" in time), "How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?" (One more pair than there is already), "What goes from one city to another, but remains motionless?" (Road) and so on. You can either invent such riddles yourself or download them below.

New contests for 2018 for adults

1. Drunken checkers. For this entertainment, you will need a real checkers board, except that the checkers themselves are replaced with stacks. How to distinguish between white and black newly appeared "checkers"? Replace the black ones with stacks of red wine, and the white ones with white. The rules are the same as in ordinary checkers, however, having got the opponent's checker, you will have to drink it! Of course, it is not necessary to use wine - it can be any alcoholic drinks, just different in color. 2. Drove. For this competition, you will need two radio-controlled cars. Play, respectively, for two people, each of whom puts a glass of alcohol on his typewriter. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final point for the cars. The goal is to get your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks his own shot. Then the relay passes to the next pair, and so on. 3. What's in my mouth. For the New Year's competition, prepare in advance a separate container with products that will be used in this experiment, but will not be on the festive table. Let it be seven to eight unusual foods. The player is blindfolded, and you give him a taste of this or that food - the competitor must guess at the first attempt what exactly is offered to him. Other products can be used with the next player. The winner is the one who gives the most correct answers.

Funny and interesting games

1. Snowballs. The competition will be held indoors, and, of course, not with real snowballs, but there is still an alternative - just crumple up napkins or paper towels (you should stock up on this material in advance). You will also need chairs for the number of players, who, in turn, should split into two teams. Competitors from one team line up on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit their opponents with a snowball. By the way, the "targets" have the ability to dodge the snow. When all the opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams change places. The team with the highest performance wins (more snowballs reached the goal).

2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually played in ping-pong. The man should roll the ball from the left sleeve of the companion to the right, and the woman should roll the second ball from the partner's right leg to the left. The team that manages to cope faster wins. 3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. Competitors are blindfolded, and clothespins are attached to any part of the clothing of all players. After the beep, you must try to remove all clothespins from your partner. The winner is the pair that completes the task faster than the others. Of course, you need a leader who will supervise this process. 4. To the touch. Two players are blindfolded and put on thick gloves or mittens on their hands. Guests stand in front of each contestant, and are given 10 seconds to guess by touch each guest. Players take turns playing. The winner is the participant who completes the task faster. Subsequently, the next pair of players is determined. 5. Burst the balloon. For the game, different-sex couples are chosen, who are given a balloon. Couples must squeeze the "props" between their bodies, and the balls must "burst" by a sound signal. The first pair to do it wins. This is followed by the second round with a complicated task: the balls must be "burst" with their backs or even priests.

New Year's contests for a fun company

1. New Year's crocodile. A well-known entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you of the principle of this rather simple and addictive game. Participants are divided into two teams, in each of which one person is selected. The leader says some word to the chosen ones, and they should “show” it to their teams without making any sounds. The team that completes the task faster will win. You can play differently - one of the participants "shows" the word to everyone else, and the one who is the first to guess wins. So that there is no suspicion that the word was invented on the go, we recommend that you write it down in advance on a piece of paper. Since we are talking about celebrating the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic. 2. Bows. Amusing and hilarious fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people so that they are divided into teams of three. The gender of the players does not matter. One of the participants stands in the middle of the room, while two of his teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and he, at the sound signal, must tie them on the one who is standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, looks for the bows by touch and unties them. In the second command, similar actions take place. The winner is the company that completes the task earlier. 3. Drawing blindly. The competition is played by two people. So, the participants are tied behind their backs and placed behind them on an easel. Now the players must arm themselves with felt-tip pens (hands remain behind their backs) and depict on the canvas the symbol of the coming year - the Dog. The rest of the guests should act as fans and suggest in which direction the contestants should draw further - to the left, higher, and so on. The winner is the player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018. Next, the next pair of contestants comes into play, and the competition is held according to a similar principle. 4. Hat. Another exciting competition, which can be attended by absolutely everyone celebrating. The essence of the entertainment is quite simple - players must pass a hat to each other, putting it on the head of a neighbor without using their palms (you can act with your elbows, mouth). The one who drops the headdress is eliminated. The winner is the participant who will end up alone. Of course, this game is unlikely to come to the liking of ladies who decided to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles in 2018 imply simplicity and negligence, so there should not be any special difficulties. 5. The song in the hat. A very funny and memorable competition, which will especially appeal to people who like to demonstrate their vocal talents. In advance, you need to stock up on small pieces of paper, on each of which you should write a word. Since we are talking about a winter holiday, you can write words related to this topic: tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer and so on. Put all these candy wrappers in a hat, and invite each guest in turn to get a piece of paper. Now the contestant must perform a small song, invented personally on the go, making sure to use the word that he got several times.

Children's games for New Year's celebration

Check out our list of new fun activities for kids. Draw a symbol of the New Year As you know, children like to portray different characters, so, for sure, they will take part in this competition with particular enthusiasm. Tell the little ones that a dog is the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018, and invite them to portray this animal and also tell about it. The participant who manages to most reliably show an adult dog or puppy will become the winner of the competition. However, there may be several winners. Of course, don't forget to prepare some sweet incentive prizes for the hardest guys. Sweets This game is more suitable for children of primary school age, and not for toddlers who have barely learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment presupposes clear coordination of movements and the ability to control one's actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first, hang a couple of your child's favorite sweets on the Christmas tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold the baby and bring him to the tree, suggesting to find sweets on the tree for a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, the tree itself does not heap up, or does not fall on its own.

Round dance This game has many variations. For example "Mice dance in a circle". First, you need to choose a "cat" among the children with the help of a counting meter. The "cat" sits down on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. The other participants turn out to be "mice" who begin to dance around the "cat", saying:

"The mice are dancing around,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Hush the mouse, do not make noise,
Don't wake up Vaska the cat,
How Vaska's cat wakes up -
Will break the whole round dance! "

When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and on the last word "Round dance" opens his eyes and runs after the mice that are trying to escape. The caught "mouse" turns into a cat, and so on in a circle. Drawing or letter to Santa Claus Most likely, all children will like this kind of entertainment, but for it you should stock up on sheets of paper and felt-tip pens or colored pencils in advance. Tell the children that now they have to prepare a letter for Santa Claus, but they do not need to write anything in it - they only need a drawing. In this picture, ask the children to depict how they see the coming new year and what they want. We can talk about some kind of trips, gifts and the like. Specify right away that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all desires, but he will nevertheless take into account some of them.

Making a snowman Making a snowman is fun and exciting, even when it's not about winter outdoor activities. For this game, you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business, who sit at the table next to each other (you can even hug). Now these players must act as one. Let the right hand of one kid and the left hand of the other act as if we are talking about the hands of one person - the children will thus have to mold a snowman from plasticine. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start to act together, then everything will certainly work out! Competition for the best snowflake Most children love to do crafts with their own hands. Tell the children to decorate the room they are playing in with snowflakes. Of course, for this, the same snowflakes first need to be made. You can demonstrate yourself a master class on how to cut such snowflakes, or you can simply set a general direction and let the kids act as they see fit. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case need to declare this - together with the children, decorate the room with the snowflakes they made (stick them to the window, hang them on the strings from the chandelier, and so on). Also reward the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.

Contest - guess the hero For this activity, have the young participants sit in a circle. Now ask the players each in turn to name the continuation of the name of the fairytale character, for example; "Zo (lushka)", "Red (Riding Hood)", "White (snowball)" and so on. The child, who could not give the correct answer, drops out of the game, but the guys who stayed continue the competition. It is important for you to take into account the fact that you will have to ask a lot of questions, therefore you will have to prepare in advance by writing for yourself the names of the fairy-tale characters on a piece of paper. If there are a lot of children, then it is not necessary to wait until there is only one winner left - you can indicate in advance that, for example, the remaining three will win. Hide and seek Perhaps it is difficult to find someone who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, to ten, closing his eyes or hiding in one of the rooms, the other guys scatter around the house and hide. When the set time passes, the child goes in search of his friends - the one who is found first is considered the loser. You can start the game all over again at this point, or you can continue looking for other participants. The child who was discovered first, subsequently takes up the search itself, also counting to ten.

Fun entertainment for a corporate party

If you want your corporate party to be fun and memorable, check out some exciting games.

1. Mandarin relay. We offer a very interesting version of this entertainment, requiring two teams with the same number of participants. Each team member is assigned a player who puts a tangerine in the spoon and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with a spoon and back to their team without dropping the citrus - if this happens, then the loser with a spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The winner is the team that is the first to complete the task. Note that when transferring a tangerine, nothing can hold it. 2. Bottle. This is a fairly well-known game that marked the beginning of many office romances. Anyway, but it is really fun entertainment. So, at least 4-6 people take part in the game, who should sit in a circle, after which one of them spins the bottle in a clockwise direction, lying in the center of the circle. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person who, like an arrow, will point to the stopped neck of the vessel (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer). After that, the bottle is offered to be twisted to the one who fell under "her sight". 3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude to various kinds of predictions, and some also believe in them. The New Year has long been directly associated with all sorts of fortune-telling, and let your corporate evening be no exception, despite the fact that the predictions will be made in a humorous manner. How exactly to hand the forfeits is up to you. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make a special rather simple cookie with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about salary increases, new ideas, and the like. 4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery that will surely arouse positive feelings among its participants. Having compiled a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their craft, packed in a colorful wrapper. However, for this drawing it is not at all necessary to use crafts - we can talk about souvenirs or sweets in a certain price range. Stick numbers on all packages, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each participant in the lottery will have to pull out his number from a special bag or just a hat. 5. The game "I have never ...". A very popular and addictive game that you might have seen in some foreign films. Each participant in the festive evening must say a confession phrase, which begins with the words: "I have never ...". Example: "I have never slept in a tent." People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Further, some recognition is made by the next party participant, and those guests, to whom the next confession has nothing to do, take a sip of wine again. Phrases can be fun, but each time they need to be more personal, for example, "I never slept naked." However, do not get too carried away, so as not to give away your biggest secrets.
