How to organize a New Year's celebration at home?
More than 75% of Russians celebrate the New Year at home or visiting relatives or friends. The tradition is wonderful, but in order for the holiday not to turn into a banal binge in front of the TV and for the memory to retain the feeling of a wonderful evening and night, you need to not only invite guests and treat them well, but also be able to entertain them. Of course, there are few people who can plan a New Year's celebration as serious cultural event, and not everyone is ready to take on the role of toastmaster, but a professional toastmaster in the conditions home holiday It will look, at the very least, inappropriate.
Celebrating the New Year with your company and family is very fun and easy if you take a little time to think about everything in advance and do some “homework.” In this article we offer you several games and competitions that can be organized in your home or on fresh air.
It is better to come up with competitions in advance, taking into account the taste of the invited guests.
So, for example, if a company likes to play cards, then it is not at all necessary to play the already well-known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game, beloved by many people around the world. To do this, you need to explain the rules to everyone, and then you can arrange an impromptu poker tournament.
It’s more convenient, easier and more fun to conduct games and competitions with simple rules and a minimum of props. The only condition is that there must always be a person who organizes the game and explains its rules to all participants.
What's in the bag?
This game can be played when you have just arrived at the guest house or holiday cottage and unloaded your bags. The presenter takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what history happened with a similar item, and the like. He says it needs to be done in such a way that the guessers suffer a little and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses it gets the item, and along with it the task. If it is bread, then cut it. If it’s canned food, then open it, if it’s an apple, then wash it, if it’s charcoal, then put on the grill... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.
I am the only lunar rover
To participate in this game, you can already take a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets down on all fours and, moving on four bones, says quite seriously: “I am the only lunar rover, peak-peak starting the reception...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes lunar rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes lunar rovers, and the one who doesn’t laugh wins. The phrase of the lunar rover can be expanded: “... I’m heading to the lunar base for refueling.” In a word, improvisation will only enhance the “ha-ha” effect.
"ABC".
The meaning of this game is as follows: in a circle, starting with the first letter of the alphabet, i.e. A, and further down the alphabet, those sitting at the table say a congratulation phrase. For example: A - “And I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!” And so on... Sometimes very funny phrases it turns out :).
"Mummy"
Several pairs of volunteers are called. In each pair, one of the participants must build from the other using a roll toilet paper“mummy”, come up with a name for it. The winner is the one who receives more applause from the audience and whose figure is the most interesting.
A la towns
In the fresh air, while, for example, barbecue is being prepared, children are getting underfoot, and adults have not lost coordination, the whole group can play a simplified version of the towns. To do this, you need to collect approximately identical pieces of firewood around the area and one stick that will serve as a bat. A circle is drawn on the ground, firewood is laid out in any shape (like a pioneer fire or a well), and each participant (distracted from the task for a while) from a certain distance knocks out as much wood as possible from the circle. But this is not so easy and you can’t do it the first time. If you replace the bat with a ball, you get something a la bowling.
Zoo
You only play at the zoo once in your life, and then it’s no longer interesting. If it so happens that there are no such lucky people in your company or there are only a few of them, you will have great fun. The presenter speaks the name of the animal into everyone's ear. Then everyone stands in a circle and firmly takes each other by the arms. The presenter names the animal. For example: “Which one of you is a crocodile?” And the crocodile must sit down sharply, and the non-crocodiles must hold him back. Then they call it a monkey. The same thing happens. But on the third click, the main thing happens. After the question: “Which of you is a hippopotamus?”, everyone falls to the ground together, and, realizing that they have been deceived, they laugh. Because the trick of this game is that all but one or two participants receive the same animal name.
"Seventh heaven".
This competition is especially attractive for children. At a certain height, a rope is stretched, on which surprise souvenirs are hung at different levels. The task of each participant is to run up and jump as high as possible and pick the souvenir they like.
"Bridge".
Motor coordination test. Participants must take turns walking along a straight line without ever leaving it. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path you need to perform a simple movement: Grasping it over the knee right hand behind the left ear, make 3 circles around its axis.
"Line-ball."
Participants are divided into 2 groups, each of them is given a large canvas, which is used for a collective throw of the ball. One of the subgroups receives the ball. Task: throw the ball from one surface to another without dropping it.
"Reindeer Sleds"
The task is to divide into pairs to cover the distance. ½ distance, the pair walks around the cones, in the following position - the first player stands on his hands, the second holds his legs. At the last cone, players change places. Thus, all participants complete the distance.
"Snowballs."
Hit a snowball into a bucket. Each participant is given 5 attempts. According to the overall team result.
What other outdoor activities can there be in nature?
Taking a snow town, sliding down a hill and sculpting a snow woman
Lighting a fire, festive decoration Christmas trees using scrap materials
Sledding, skiing, ice skating
Snowmobiling
Launching sky lanterns
Generator soap bubbles(in winter they freeze and become covered with a pattern, like on windows)
Firecrackers, boom-fetti.
Meat on a spit, kebabs
Hot Mulled wine in a Samovar or in thermoses
Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.
Round dance, dancing around the Christmas tree, dressing up as buffoons, gypsies, national Russian or Altai costumes
Games, competitions and fun make an ordinary New Year at home unforgettable. Impressions fueled by laughter last a long time. Next, professional entertainer Zakhar Sokhatsky shares his recipes for a cheerful home New Year:
The first thing you can do is Have a good mood– it’s radical to turn off the TV. The best you can do is listen to the chimes, and after draining your glasses, press the red button on the TV remote control. After all, everything last years New Year's Eve on television was a disaster, and it's unlikely that anything will change this time.
It’s much better to have fun chatting with each other, playing something, and shedding your seriousness for one New Year’s Eve.
In this sense, the “pajama party” method is very helpful - guests are asked to bring pajamas (or some other purely home clothes– T-shirt, shorts) and change immediately upon arrival. I assure you, this will make your holiday much more comfortable than a prim reception in evening dresses. Besides, you don’t have to spend the whole December thinking about what to wear so spectacularly for the New Year. Less show-off - more joy.
Puzzle your guests in advance: ask everyone to prepare some kind of surprise. For example, everyone can learn a trick with cards or matches, or something else easy, non-stressful, for pulling. But do not demonstrate everything at once, but at some interval. Let this theme of homemade preparations run through your holiday.
Also ask each guest to bring with them a wish in an envelope that will go to one of the other guests. All the envelopes are mixed, each person making a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be designed for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about the Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink in one gulp, for example, a glass of cocktail made from cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee), or for the entire this year(get married, give birth, become a deputy of the regional Duma, etc.). In a year, you will conduct a debriefing and see who really knows how to keep their word.
Immediately after midnight, everyone goes out into the yard together for a short time - just to shout, to relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what the workaholic Japanese do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thus thrown off the negativity of the past year, we return to the warmth, to the already set table. By the way, what's on our table? Good New Year in Russian folk style or with classic “Soviet traditions”, but if it’s already “boring”, do New Year's table An “ethnic” approach will help in a more original way. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentine or other little-known cuisine. This is not difficult to do - there are many culinary reference books now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the housewife’s “arsenal” for the future. The “ethnic table” will give guests completely new sensations, which fully corresponds to the very idea of New Year’s Eve. If the company is large and the organization of the table requires joint participation, you can agree in advance for each guest or family to prepare some kind of “ethnic” dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.
Next, I can suggest playing “Yudashkin.” Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a petite build, so that there is more room for imagination. Each team takes 3-4 minutes to dress a girl in the funniest way possible, putting everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. We dressed, assessed, photographed - and now we undress the girl, and for a while. Without fanaticism, to the original state.
While dressing the girl, the guests have already become a little acquainted with the house where everything happens - it’s time to play “tax inspector”. We select two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are exactly available in the apartment. Children usually take part in the game with pleasure. The winner is the team that lays the most items at the feet of the stern taxman.
No matter how well the holiday goes, try sometimes to remember the inevitability of the morning. Morning will most likely come in the evening of January 1st. If the guests have not left before bedtime, you can cheer them up a little, for example, agree in advance: whoever drank the most will organize exercises in the fresh air for everyone. It’s harsh, but it invigorates and brings you back to life. You can plant some other intrigue in the evening: for example, a social burden (going to the store) on the least drunk person - so that no one wants to be this “lucky one”. It is advisable to plan the program for the “morning” in advance. But whether you can fulfill it depends only on you.
Happy New Year to you!
The New Year is just around the corner, and the time for widespread corporate events is approaching. And even at home, many groups of friends will probably want to diversify their vacation with games. And now is the time to pick up competitions for the New Year 2019.
Remember: what is ideal for a small group of vacationers is not at all suitable for a large corporate event. And you can afford more at home than in the same restaurant.
New Year's competitions for home holidays
IN small companies You should give preference to those competitions for the New Year that involve the inclusion of everyone present so that no one gets bored. And it’s not that difficult to place 5–7 people in one competition.
Take care of the prizes in advance. Even an adult wants to receive some kind of 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 has collected the most prizes. This is also a lot of fun.
New Year's melody
For this competition you will need several identical bottles into which water is poured different levels. It turns out to be a kind of musical instrument. The bottles are placed on the table, and guests are invited to use an ordinary spoon to perform any New Year's melody on these bottles. The winner is the one who, according to the general opinion, extracted the most similar melody.
Anecdote with a beard
Each person in the company takes turns telling a joke. If one of the others says that he knows this joke and really continues it, then the narrator is given a cotton beard. In the end, the one with the shortest “beard” wins. And the “bearded” one can be appointed Santa Claus.
Find a Christmas tree
Another very fun competition for the New Year. To do this, you will need to purchase a car fragrance in the shape of a Christmas tree in advance. They usually have a very strong, specific smell. It is hidden somewhere in the room, and guests must find the item by smell.
Hold the snowflake
This competition will again require some cotton wool. We need to make some semblance of a small and light snowflake. It should be possible to hold it suspended by air flow. A snowflake is thrown up, and the participants must blow on it from below, preventing it from falling. The winner, naturally, is the one whose snowflake falls to the floor later.
New Year's gift
3 people can participate in this competition at the same time. Gender participants does not matter. One of the three is placed in the center of the room. It will be a New Year's gift. The other two are separated different sides from the “gift” and blindfolded. One is given ribbons in his hands, he must tie bows on the gift by touch. The second one should also untie them by touch.
Brook
This competition is designed for a fairly warm company. A piece of paper that is long but not too wide is placed on the floor. A roll of standard wallpaper is ideal. Next, women are asked to cross the “stream” without getting their feet wet, that is, to walk along its two banks with their legs spread wide apart. The first time women try to do this is with with open eyes, the second time - with closed ones.
Moreover, when the first of them overcomes the “stream”, the rest should be outside the room. When the woman finishes the test, but her eyes have not yet been untied, one of the men present lies down on the “stream”.
The woman's eyes are untied. She sees a man and, naturally, is embarrassed. We are now inviting you to participate next woman. The first one sees how the competition actually went, calms down and laughs.
In my pants
This is exactly the one rare case, when regular newspaper headlines can be beneficial. Journalists now compete especially zealously for originality. Cut out the most unexpected ones and put them in an envelope. Then this envelope is passed around in a circle. Each participant takes out one headline and says “and in my pants...” and reads the headline from the piece of paper he pulled out.
New Year's competitions for a small company in a restaurant
This case has its own characteristics. Funny competitions on New Year's Eve in the restaurant they can be quite mobile, but not too much so as not to damage the furniture and dishes. Therefore, you should not involve everyone present in competitions at once. It is better to involve 2-3 people. Competitions are also welcome, allowing you to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.
Congratulations in alphabetical order
Invite guests to take turns congratulating those gathered and making toasts, but not just like that, but in alphabetical order. The first one says a toast with the letter “a”, the second one with the letter “b” and so on. The fun part, naturally, begins towards the end of the alphabet, around the letters “th”, “s”, as well as hard and soft signs. The winner is the one whose congratulations or toast turns out to be the most fun.
The original involves a competition with a fake, hand-drawn pie, on each piece of which predictions are written or drawn. So, a drawn penny portends wealth; the heart, of course, is love; envelope - news, news, and so on.
You can also hold a competition with a real pie, each piece of which contains such a prediction. Fortune telling and predictions are invariably successful. People always want to know what awaits them in the future. And even if the fortune telling is comic, it brings a lot of pleasure
Storyteller
An ideal competition for the New Year in a restaurant. Firstly, guests don’t have to get up anywhere, and secondly, it’s quite fun and interesting. Remind guests of the plots of several famous fairy tales, offer to choose one for yourself and retell it, but slightly changing the genre. It could be a detective story, a thriller, a romance novel. If desired, you can spend several rounds, changing tales and changing genres. In each round, the winner is the author of the most interesting version.
Two oxen
Two participants are selected. They stand with their backs to each other, and a rope tied in a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a harness. 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 outweigh their 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 because it does not require getting up from the table and is quite fun for both participants and spectators.
Cooks
Another “sedentary” competition. Each participant is given a pen and paper, where he must write down all New Year's dishes, for example, starting with the letter “n”. When the lists are ready, the participants read them out one by one. The one whose list is longer wins.
This competition could be slightly modernized. Participants do not make preliminary lists, but simply name their dishes one by one. We can't repeat ourselves. Anyone who finds it difficult to answer is eliminated. The last one standing wins. This competition is very good at awakening the appetite, and it is convenient to hold it, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.
New Year's competitions for corporate events
Corporate events usually require a presence in one place large quantity people unfamiliar with each other. This is where workers from different departments meet for the first time, ordinary life do not contact each other in any way, or are even at enmity. Therefore, competitions for New Year's corporate events should unobtrusively bring people together. Here team entertainment, pair competitions and the like come into play.
Chief Accountant
On the poster they draw different banknotes in a variety of currencies. Banknotes must be recognizable. The participants' task is to count the bills starting from the first and ending with 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 gets lost.
Diver
Since a separate room is most often rented for corporate events, you can usually afford mobile competitions here. For the Diver competition you will need two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in twos, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking through them from the back, try to cover the distance as quickly as possible. This is quite difficult, so you should not make the distance too long, and especially difficult, with a lot of turns and obstacles.
Baba Yaga
The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants place one foot in the bucket and hold it with their hand. They are given a mop in the second hand. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. All that remains is to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.
Discoverer
Also good for New Year's corporate events team competitions. For example, the next one. Participants are divided into 2 teams and each of them is given a ball. First, the teams discover a new planet, that is, they inflate the resulting balloon. And then they pick up markers and begin to populate this planet. That is, draw residents on the ball. When the allotted time ends, the presenter counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.
Damaged phone and Associations
Don't forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a damaged phone. Participants sit in a circle or in a chain, depending on the capabilities of the room. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers the hidden word into the neighbor’s ear. Usually it is advised to do it quickly and indiscriminately. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, there will be many people in a long chain who will hear it incorrectly. Whispering does not improve speech intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final words.
The association game is not too different from telephone. In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbor their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - holiday, and so on.
The main thing is that the suit fits
This competition is best held towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already slightly drunk, have gotten to know each other and are ready to really fun competitions. Prepare a bag in advance with various funny clothes: felt boots, scarves, scarves, family pants, diapers for adults, quilted jackets, glasses with a mustache, and so on. Contestants are seated in a circle and a bag of clothes is passed around while music plays. When the music stops, the person who still has the bag, without looking, takes out one item from there and puts it on himself. The winner is declared to be the one wearing the least amount of “competition” clothing. However, by the end everyone looks cheerful.
Snowman
The participants are again divided into two teams and given 8 inflated balloons. Each team has its own colored balls. For example: red and blue. Letters are written on the balls with a marker so that the end result is the word “Snowman”.
You can make other words from these 8 balls. This is what the speed teams will do. The presenter asks questions, the answers to which can be laid out from the given letters. The team that completes the task faster earns a point. The team that scores more points than the opponent wins.
Paper dress
Participants participate in this competition in pairs. The man's task is to create a dress out of toilet paper for his female model. You can't use anything other than paper. But you can do whatever you want with it: twist it, plug it, tie it in a bow. The contestants retire to a separate room, then the girls come out and show off their outfits. Please note, the model must come out wearing THIS itself. The winners are chosen by the audience.
When choosing competitions for a corporate party, try to alternate between active and sedentary games. To begin with, select tasks that are calm and not too frivolous, allowing participants to get to know each other and relax. Towards the end, when people have already relaxed enough, you can allow yourself more daring competitions for the new year.
Replies
New Year competitions for fun company will help diversify the evening, brighten up the coming year and make this event brighter, joyful and simply unforgettable. And if you photograph all this, you will be able to remember the holiday and how fun and unusual it was for the rest of your life.
Often, even when a large group gathers around a beautifully and richly set table, people begin to get bored and wait until they can go to the sidelines, so to speak. To prevent this from happening, I suggest holding interesting, exciting competitions with your guests, no matter whether they are children or adults.
Especially for you, my dear readers, I have selected the original ones, interesting competitions for the New Year for a fun company, which can be held both at home and, for example, in the office at a corporate event, for children and adults.
Such New Year's competitions and games are designed to be held in small companies of 6-8 people. To ensure that the event is not only fun, but also enthusiastic, make sure that you have gifts for the winners for each competition. There is no need to spend money on some expensive things, although if your budget allows, you can buy something expensive. Fountain pens, candies on sticks, keychains, souvenirs with the symbol of the year, etc. are suitable as gifts.
A few examples of home competitions for the New Year for a fun company that could well become yours entertainment program for this night.
New Year's game "Button"
Each participant should be given one button different color, so that it is convenient to check the result in the future. Mark the starting line; you will need to stand next to it in order to bend over as far as possible and place your buttons. In this case, you cannot throw the object, just put it down. Whoever fails to hold on and crosses the starting line or falls on his stomach on the floor loses. The one who puts the attribute entrusted to him furthest receives the coveted prize.
For this fun you will need several glass bottles or cans different sizes(5-6 pieces are enough). They should be filled with water so that each container has its own amount of liquid. Then each participant is given 2 cutlery (spoons or forks) in turn. downsides, that is, with his hands he must play his favorite or some kind of New Year's melody on the bottles. Whose melody will be more beautiful and recognizable is the winner.
Competition for the New Year “Who is the most attentive of all”
They play this fun game in pairs. Pairs should be chosen directly during the competition, so that everyone is on an equal footing and no one can prepare in advance. The couple takes turns standing in the center, the allotted time is, for example, 30 seconds, they look at each other carefully, then turn their backs, and the rest of the players begin to ask them questions (you can change them, ask your own depending on the situation, the main thing is to check how well the participants remember each other):
- “What color is the nail polish on your companion’s nails?”
- “What is your partner’s eye color?”
- “What color is your friend’s socks?”
- “Are there earrings in the girl’s ears?”
- “Is there a watch or what is on your partner’s hand?” and so on.
The number of questions for each contestant and each pair must be the same. Whoever gives the most correct answers will win prizes. It's possible in this New Year's competition choose the whole pair that gave the most correct answers as the winner.
Interesting competition “Fat-cheeked lip slap”
Up to four people can participate in this game. A plate of candy or, for example, gummy bears is placed in front of them. In turn, they take one piece of candy, put it in their mouth and repeat the phrase “fat-cheeked lip slap” (you can come up with any phrase, you can say some small tongue twister). Candy should not be swallowed or spat out. If even one piece of candy falls out of the mouth, the person is eliminated. The game continues until the last participant who, with his mouth full, can clearly pronounce the invented phrase.
Game – “Funny Drawings”
To conduct this festive competition, the presenter should take care of purchasing a marker or felt-tip pens and disposable wide-diameter plastic plates for everyone in advance.
How the New Year's game is played. All participants are given a plastic plate. The contestants take turns going to the center, and the host tells him in his ear the name of the animal or another task. Subsequently, he must depict this on the plate, but quite in an unusual way. For example, in a minute or a minute and a half, at the command “start”, the participants put the plate on their heads and try to quickly draw on it with a marker or felt-tip pen the task that they were given. Afterwards, participants try to understand and guess what the task was. The winner is the one whose drawing the gathered guests can recognize.
New Year's competition "Cold-hot"
The company chooses two people to take part in the fun. They are taken to different sides of the room, given a spoon in their hand, and some pot or pan is placed in the middle on the floor or in another convenient place, and a prize is placed inside. The guests are divided into an equal number of participants, one half will help the first player, the second, respectively, the second. The presenter gives the start, the players are spun on the spot, turned away from the prize, and the team, using the words “cold” and “hot,” tells them where to go in order to get to the potty faster. The first person to hit the object placed in the center with his spoon wins the prize.
Usually this action is very emotional and fun, the players try to shout out each other, and the participants get confused about where, whose voice and who to listen to. Pretty interesting.
These are mostly New Year's competitions for corporate parties, designed for 10-15 people, but they are also perfect for a home New Year's Eve party with friends. There is just one “but”, these fun ideas are intended for adults.
