New Year competitions for the presenter. Santa Claus chooses a Christmas tree. A simple and funny New Year's competition "Faces"

New Year is a traditional holiday, which is usually celebrated with family, holding matinees at schools or kindergartens, and getting together with colleagues at a corporate party. It is quite difficult to organize a variety of events at home for people of all ages to make the holiday memorable for a long time. The New Year's games and entertainment presented below will make this task easier for you in the New Year 2017.

We organize children's entertainment

Arrange good holiday- not an easy task, but for children this is the most important thing. New Year's games for children should be especially intriguing and exciting so that every child enjoys them.

Traditionally, on New Year's Day they spend comic competitions who will not leave children without a smile.

The children dance around the Christmas tree, and the leader begins to ask questions. He asks: “Do you have a nose?”, and the children shout: “Yes!” Again he asks the children: “Is your nose good?”, and they answer: “Good!” Again the question: “Is your neighbor better?”, and the children shout with a joyful cry: “Better!” and begin to pull the nose of their neighbor. Then they dance in a circle for a while and then the leader asks questions again. And so on until the neighbor’s supply of body parts runs out. Each other's funny actions will keep children in high spirits.

Guess the hero

This is a very entertaining New Year's game. The children sit around the Christmas tree, and the leader walks in a circle and gives everyone in turn the partial name of the fairy-tale hero. For example, Postman..., Red..., Gray..., Winnie... and others. The examples can be very diverse, but often the presenter runs out of such phrases, so you need to prepare well, remembering children's cartoons and fairy tales.

Several children are called to participate and shown a drawing of a New Year's castle. They are given a certain time to roughly remember what it looks like. Then they are blindfolded and asked to reproduce the New Year's castle from plastic cups. The rest of the children watch the construction and cheer on their friends. You can diversify the game by allowing others to tell you where to put the glass. In such cases, the original castle can turn out to be fun, and the children will laugh heartily at their creation.

Another fun New Year's game that no child will get bored with. It will require a large number of pins and balls. Children are divided into teams and asked to shoot down maximum amount pins with one throw of the ball. The team that knocks down the most pins in total wins. Rubber balls are perfect for preschoolers, and basketballs for schoolchildren. You can arrange a personal competition for each participant, and the one who knocks down the most pins will receive a small prize.

Santa Claus chooses a Christmas tree

A fun competition, the main host of which will be Santa Claus. He needs a Christmas tree for the holiday, and he asks the children to help him find it. They stand in a circle holding hands. If Santa Claus says: “The tree is too high!”, then the children sit down and lower their hands, and if the tree turns out to be low, then the children stand up with their hands raised. To complicate the competition, Santa Claus can say: “The Christmas tree is narrow!”, and then the children must expand the circle, and if the Christmas tree is wide, then, on the contrary, narrow it.

On New Year's Day, children crave some kind of magic, and therefore a balloon launching contest is perfect for the festive end of the holiday. For each little guest you will need to prepare in advance one helium balloon with a string. Children should write their deepest wish on a small piece of paper (if there are kids at the holiday, then parents should help them) and tie it to a string. Then everyone goes outside together and, after the words of Santa Claus or the presenter, the balls are released into the sky. Children will be delighted to watch this spectacle.

Youth competitions

New Year is no longer the same for young people children's party that was once before. In order for the Year of the Rooster to be remembered for a long time, the organized events must be modern and unprimitive. The competitions presented below will make the New Year unforgettable and magical, just like it was in childhood.

Participants in the competition are given pre-prepared photographs of any fairy-tale characters or animals. The task of each participant is to walk along the catwalk, portraying a fairy-tale character that they came across. However, they should not use facial expressions or make sounds. The rest must guess who is depicted on the podium. The winner will be the most artistic participant whose fairy-tale character is guessed in the least number of passes.

Find your Snow Maiden

A romantic competition that can be arranged before a slow dance. The boys are asked to leave, and the girls go up to the tree and choose their own Christmas ball. The guys need to guess whose Christmas tree toy is on the tree. The one who guesses gets paired with his “other half” and after the end of the competition they are asked to dance a slow dance. Such an unexpected situation will not leave them without emotions!

The most desired gift bag

Popular on New Year's Day cool competitions. Here's one of them.

All participants are divided into two equal teams and each is given a hefty bag.

the main task This game is to fill the bag with “gifts”, that is, all the various items that come to hand. It could even be items of clothing! The team with the most “gifts” in the bag will win.

Snowball

Fun New Year's competitions will cheer everyone up, for example, the New Year's version of football. The main attributes of the game: a “snow ball” made of paper or cotton wool and a goal with bags of gifts in place of the bars. The guys will be happy to “play football”, and the girls will cheer for the chosen team. The team that scores the most goals in a certain time will win. To create a festive atmosphere, fans can explode firecrackers and throw small snowflakes or snowballs onto the field.

Bottle of snow

For this competition you need to prepare a large number of large snowflakes in advance and empty bottles.

Snowflakes are sprinkled on the floor, and participants are given the task of collecting the largest number of snowflakes in their bottle. The one who collects more than the rest in a certain time will win. The competition can also be made for elimination, leaving only those who managed to collect the “passing number” of snowflakes.

The snowman hurries to duty

All participants are divided into two teams. Each person is given a large bag, a plastic bucket and a carrot nose. The task of each participant is to quickly change into the “duty snowman outfit”, jump in a bag to a chair, sit on it and return to pass the baton to another participant. The team with all its participants running the fastest will win.

Adults have fun too

For many, New Year is boring gatherings at the table. The atmosphere of a magical holiday and the tradition of celebrating cheerfully and solemnly go further and further. To somehow avoid this in the year of the Rooster, you need to properly plan pastime for adults in New Year's Eve, and the competitions below are suitable for this.

Oh, let's sing now!

Participants are divided into two musical teams. The first one’s task is to sing a line from a song, and the second one must continue with words from another composition. For example: "Million, million, million Red roses... ", and the other one picks up: “At least for a day!” The winner will be the last team that can continue the first line. You can complicate the task if you take only winter and New Year's songs.

Siamese twins

The invited pair of participants is tied back to back. The essence of the game is for the observers to give a wide variety of instructions. For example, dance or try to sit at the table. If the group of people celebrating is not devoid of a sense of humor, then the competition will turn out to be hilarious and fun!

Let me hug you!

This competition is perfect for a couple in love or married people. Participants face each other. Several bottles of champagne or wine are placed between them. The man is blindfolded, and at this time the presenter quickly removes all the bottles. The main task is to reach your beloved and hug her. A blindfolded man does not suspect that there are no more bottles and will move carefully and carefully. This picture will cause fits of laughter until the very end of the holiday!

Bag right through

Invited participants stand in a circle with Santa Claus. When the music starts, the bag of gifts is passed from hand to hand until the song stops. The person who has the bag in his hands must perform some number at the request of Santa Claus. When he has the bag, he happily gives out gifts to everyone.


Have you already started preparing competitions for New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.

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

  1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
  2. Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
  3. Stock up on prizes. People really like to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
  4. It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them in advance on regular cards, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
  5. Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

Collection of competitions and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.


You need to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be greater than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them 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 circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day does he eat, how much does he weigh, how many times has he stayed for a second year, and so on.


"Not a word of truth"

My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the new year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.


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

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts 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. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s 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 a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper as “snowballs,” or just take a couple of sets of simple New Year’s plastic balls, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a “goal” - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporting.


All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. 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 actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course, the sight of her own mother, who soulfully speaks 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 Battle on the Ice in your own living room - priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event 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. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.


Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, 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 wrote a collective New Year's greeting for everyone present every New Year. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can create your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - the guests should call them.


The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers 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"

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!


So, you need to prepare the participants - they need to match the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember key phrase and the movement that he must act out when he mentions himself.
  1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
  2. Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
  3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
  4. The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
  5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
  6. The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
  7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”
After everyone has tried themselves new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, both of them!) and further according to the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the presenter will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly in alphabetical order"

During one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year’s celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter suggests filling the glasses and raising them, but strictly in alphabetical order.


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

"Bunnies"

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



Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader 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 says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given 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 get into a frenzy.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great 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 needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with the hottest news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on cards? Any set of words.
  • China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
  • Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
  • New Year 2019, 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, bicycle, school.
  • Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.
How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.

"We're jumping into the New Year"

As a family, we often organize jumping as an entertainment for the New Year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.


So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings markers and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or remains finishing touches. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count down the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the new year and the fulfillment of their own wishes!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has achieved what - also a topic for table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?


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

What to write on labels:

  1. The owner of the brownest eyes.
  2. The best high jumper.
  3. To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
  4. The owner of the best tan.
  5. The owner of the highest heels.
  6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
  7. A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
  8. To the one who is wearing more yellow today.
I think you understand the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who vacationed where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of their heels and discuss work.

"Song from a Hat"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and carried out tasks for relatives or colleagues.

In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to scribble notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes a note out of the hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will experience great idea compose a small song on the fly to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one of the famous New Year's songs of past years.

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

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's competitions for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?


So, the girls 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 don't freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's competitions for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this competition in reverse - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the hem of the shirt 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 competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.


So, holes are made for the hands in a thick sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give one the task of portraying the Snow Maiden, and the other - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's competitions 2019, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

"We distribute roles"

You can start fun competitions for the New Year for your family with this kind of entertainment.


Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper like candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunnie boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter or Mikhailo Potapych, who specially woke up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, begins to speak a toast.

"Photo tests"

What are some cool competitions for the New Year without photos?


Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take pictures in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:
  • the most decrepit snowflake;
  • the sleepiest guest;
  • the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
  • the hungriest Santa Claus;
  • the most generous Santa Claus;
  • the kindest Santa Claus;
  • the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
  • the most overfed guest;
  • the most cheerful guest;
  • the most cunning Baba Yaga;
  • the evil Kashchei himself;
  • the strongest hero;
  • the most capricious princess;
  • the biggest snowflake;
  • and so on…
By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to draw, without looking, the role in which they will be photographed, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deeds to better embody the image. You can laugh during the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this in just a few minutes.

"Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking 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, but 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 opaque packaging, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags, tied with a thick thread or ribbon.


Pleasant little things can include: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait 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 you will have for the New Year’s corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it’s better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting competitions in advance, and 2019 is just around the corner!

November 21, 2016

Starting with the first snowflakes slowly circling in the frosty air, we begin to wait for HIM! The most wonderful, most fabulous, incredible and fun holiday is the New Year!

There is no longer a single holiday, three months before which, friends would ask: “Well, what do you think about the New Year?” Yes, this is exactly the day when the aliens are in a panic from an unknown signal from the Earth - “The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon...”, and the whole planet glows with bright lights and fireworks! It is from December 31 to January 1 at 23:59 that we all stand with glasses of bubble champagne in our hands and happily welcome the New Year and the new emotions that will burst into our lives, and this, by the way, is a great reason to throw a simply unrealistically cool party !

It is impossible to imagine any party without the company of your favorite friends. You can celebrate International Pancake Day or Bastille Day with them - it’s always fun and interesting! In order not to interrupt this wonderful tradition, you should thoroughly prepare for organizing the main party of the year!

An important part of the 2017 meeting is the entertainment program: games and competitions for the New Year for adults. They make you get to know each other better, make the team more united, and make the evening more interesting, if you know what I mean 😉

website I am sure that almost all adults will take part in practical jokes with great pleasure, dance in a round dance, say cool toast and compete in exciting competitions! They can be different: playful, ingenious, dexterous and, of course, with erotic overtones. It all depends on the degree of relaxation of the party guests.

We offer 12 fun games and competitions for the New Year's Eve that will make the party fun and memorable.

1. So this is about me!

Small ones are taken paper bags, in which you can put souvenirs, sweets or any small items (batteries, condoms, a glass...). Nominations are written on the packages:
- the longest haired;
- the one who kissed the girl before everyone else;
- the one who kissed the guy before everyone else;
- the owner of underwear with the greatest number of colors and shades;
- the strongest arm wrestler;
- the lady with the most high heels;
- the most thrifty smoker (the one or the one who has the most cigarettes with him);
- the coolest rapper (who reads poetry the fastest);
- the most Blue eyes 2017;
— the loudest laughter of 2017;
- the craziest thing to do in 2016;
- the most unlucky one (the one who did not receive any of the holiday packages).

You can come up with your own nominations - the ones most suitable for your friends and family.

The finished bags with contents need to be hung on the Christmas tree. This can be done before the guests arrive, but then they will be discovered too early, most likely even before everyone has arrived. Therefore, it is best to do this immediately after midnight, when everyone goes to look at the balcony or to watch the New Year's fireworks on the street. At this moment, hang the bags on the tree. Why not original gifts for all those present?

Guests returning from the fireworks will notice new Christmas tree decorations and begin the competition...

2. What do you remember about the past year?

Buy whatman paper in size A1 or A0. At the top, write in large letters “What you remember about 2016.” To make the inscription look even and beautiful, print it on a printer using your favorite New Year's font. You can paste a photo of the guests onto whatman paper (for married couples– use joint photos). There should be space between photographs for drawings. It’s even better if you order such a poster from a printing house.

We hang the poster on the wall or closet. Let everyone draw next to their photo the best event of the past year for them. Some will depict a palm tree, symbolizing a vacation in warm countries, some will depict a new car, and for others it will be a child confidently walking to school for the first time with a briefcase.

You can make such collections of positive memories a tradition in your friendly company.

3. Coolest of all

We choose the main characters of the evening - Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Those interested change into costumes, take thematic attributes: a beard, mittens, a staff, a bag with gifts, and one by one introduce themselves to the public. The most cheerful, charismatic and irresistible guy or girl will become Santa Claus. The choice is made by voting with applause. Not only girls, but also brave guys can take part in the casting for the role of the Snow Maiden! A little powder, red lipstick and a wig with pigtails will turn a serious TOP manager into the cute granddaughter of Santa Claus. A short fashion show in a skirt will determine who will become the queen of the party, even if she has stubble.

4. Alphabet

Next, to warm up the party guests, it would be appropriate to hold a competition for the best toast in the alphabet. The gist of it is this: everyone takes turns saying a toast with wishes, but for a reason, and it must begin with a specific letter. For example, the first with “A” - “The sweetest orange, the most delicious tangerine, the kind Santa Claus will bring you as a gift,” then with “B” - “Great hopes, beautiful dreams, rays of goodness, and a cute beaver!” Happy New Year!”, “B” - “Father Frost comes to the house, he brought us gifts: a soft bear, a delicious cake, a telephone and a lunar rover, pasta, an orange, soap, gingerbread and a dolphin.”

In such a cheerful manner, everyone makes their toasts, and the author of the most original rhyme wins a prize.

An easier option - the wish consists of one or two words per dropped letter. For example: I wish A active recreation, b riches, V Yesenia, G Lamura, d money…

Those who get the letters Y, Y, b, b will be especially lucky :)

5. Hello, sleepwalkers

Such a competition is best held when all the guests are already in a cheerful mood. One participant is seated on a chair, and now he plays the role of the main lunar base, others will portray lunar rovers and asteroids flying past. To do this, you need to crawl around the room on all fours, saying: “Hey, Lunokhod-1 is calling the base,” “Lunokhod-2, we need to refuel at the lunar base, the battery is low.”

An asteroid periodically flies between the spaceships at speed, and with the words “Banzai” it tries to get into the lunar rover. There is only one rule in this game - don't laugh! At all! The one who gets a laugh in his mouth crawls to the base to receive the task.

It might look like this:

  • remove two layers of skin from your lunar rover;
  • pour 200 ml of fuel into Lunokhod 1;
  • solder 3 new skin parts to Lunokhod 2;
  • dock with Lunokhod 3;
  • examine environment in reverse mode, etc.

7. Pass it on

A good old game of match will help those gathered get to know each other better and loosen up a little. All guests stand in a circle, alternating between a guy and a girl. The match is cleared of sulfur, the first participant takes it with his lips and passes it to the next. After the first circle, the match is cut a few mm, and it goes to a new circle.
