One of the household is sent to another room while the rest of the family hides snowflakes throughout the room. Places for hide and seek can be very different and unexpected. You can put a snowflake in your pocket, throw it on a chandelier, or hide it under a salad bowl.
When all the snowflakes are hidden, the one who will look for them is called into the room. Relatives should help the search with comments “cold” and “warm”. As soon as the seeker is very close to the hiding place, relatives should start shouting "hotly". This competition is especially loved by children.

The sheet is placed on the floor and everyone starts dancing, each couple on their own sheet. The couple that goes beyond the newspaper is eliminated. After a few minutes, the leader folds the sheet of each pair in half and everything continues. This is repeated several times. The game is very "brings together", especially when there is almost no newspaper left.
detectives
One or two players go out. They are then told that they have to find out something ("solve a crime") by asking questions that imply "yes", "no", "maybe" answers. But in fact, the rest did not think of any story. They simply answer "yes" - if the last word question ends in a vowel, "no" in a consonant, "maybe" in "b". Since the detectives are unaware of this, they compose very fascinating story. Detectives will achieve their goal if they figure out exactly how they are being fooled.

The host says: "We are all people, educated, but do we know the alphabet?" From the letter A, and further alphabetically, the player begins a congratulatory phrase on the fact that the guests have gathered. For example: A- Aibolit wishes everyone a Happy New Year! B-Be vigilant, soon the New Year! Let's drink to the ladies! Especially fun when the game comes to G, F, P, S, b, b. The prize goes to the person who comes up with the funniest phrase.

(Gives money to couples candy wrappers). , lapels, and all the secluded places. Try to clear your deposits as quickly as possible, open as many banks as possible. Get ready .... Let's start!" The facilitator helps the pairs to complete the task, after one minute the facilitator sums up the results. Presenter: "How many banknotes do you have left? And you? Great!

Have you already started preparing contests for 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 competitions and games: fun and interesting contests for the new year, even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with a TV will help to save, not to mention a party for cheerful company. However, it is best to prepare a little.
- Make a plan for games and competitions. A company of adults will need to eat, raise glasses for the new year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
- Prepare props. Having decided what you will play for the new year at home, make a list of what you will need for a particular competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes into thematic contests (I use small gift bags for this).
- 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.
- Auxiliary materials are best done on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on ordinary cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
- Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.
Collection of contests and games
"Wishes"
The simplest new year games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be offered to burst balloons, inside of 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 inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut off the balloon they like, and then read aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.
"Numbers"
New Year's games and competitions built on the "question and answer" model always gather a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.So, the facilitator 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 desired, you can write down some sequence, and play a few circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the host 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, raising a piece of paper with written 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 pastimes are funny contests for the new year. Of course, for a company of pensioners, you will need to pick up something more decent, but you can always have fun in your circle - for example, by playing the game "Not a word of truth."
The host will need to prepare in advance a lot of New Year's questions such as:
- What tree is traditionally dressed up for the holiday?
- what movie in our country symbolizes the new year?
- What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
- who is molded from snow in winter?
- who on TV addresses the Russians with a New Year's speech?
- the outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?
The one who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, according to 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 put a few tangerine slices on 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 is the end!”. Explosions of laughter are provided - 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 is 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 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 installed 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 New Year's Eve 2019 party game for adults and use children's as the "goal". basketball hoops- getting into them with a soft lump of cotton is even more difficult than into a bucket.
"New Year decoration"
Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporty.
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 christmas ball. For manufacturing, you can use only toilet items, accessories and decorations that are on the team members. The winner is the team that makes the brightest and beautiful ball.
By the way, a little hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and just try to 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 say a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will simultaneously be 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 view native mom, who speaks penetratingly 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 choosing competitions 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 deer. Here you do not need to divide the guests into teams, just invite them to break into pairs.
Each pair has a “reindeer” and “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 make a harness - do not be wiser, a simple linen rope or lace that wraps around the belt will come off. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A route is built from the skittles, 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. Empty bottles can be used instead of skittles, cardboard cups for drinks or paper cones(we made in the form of Christmas trees, it was very nice).
"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 greetings for everyone present. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can compose your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - guests should call them.
The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say big and nice toast- and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the host writes them down and then reads out the result - the text is very funny!
"Turnip: New Year's Version"
Love New Year's contests for the whole family - then a turnip is what you need!
So, you need to prepare the participants - they need 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 the key phrase and the movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.
- The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation "Oba-na!".
- Grandfather rubs his palms and groans “Ta-ak-s!”.
- Grandmother swings her fist at grandfather and says “I would have beaten it!”.
- Dancing granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
- The bug itches and complains of fleas.
- The cat wags its "tail" and tentatively draws out "And I am on my own."
- The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says "We've finished the game!".
"Strictly alphabetical"
In one of the pauses, the host takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the host offers to fill the glasses and raise, but strictly in alphabetical order.
Each guest must say a short toast to his 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:
- AND Absolutely must drink to happiness in the new year!
- B let's be healthy in the new year!
- AT let's drink to the old year!
- E If we don't get drunk, we'll have to eat!
"Bunnies"
If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2019 - play bunny. For the New Year at home, it is best to play this game 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 each 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 leader pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made up crouches, and his neighbors to 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 enter the rage.
The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people alternately crouched on the names of other animals, the host says “Bunny!”, And the whole circle abruptly tries to crouch (trying to overcome the possible resistance of the neighbors, as was the case with other animals).
Naturally, general laughter begins, and a bunch of small ones gather on the floor!
"News from the New Year"
A great contest that you can play without leaving the table.
The facilitator will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words are no longer needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with a 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, bag.
- New Year 2019, fan, pantyhose, 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, laundry, boa constrictor, rug.
Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow zoo during winter wash a rug was found in the boa constrictor. There will be a reason to be surprised, and to laugh, and to drink so that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.
"Jumping into the New Year"
We are in family circle we often do jumping as entertainment for the new year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I'm sure it's already a kind of tradition.
So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter, the better) and a large sheet of paper (paper paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump in - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!
And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet, everyone draws their desires - someone manages to draw a few miniatures, someone just draws what they want schematically. By the president's speech, the drawing is usually already finished or remain finishing touches. After the president's speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count the chimes in chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the sale of their own desires!
By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and on next year we check who has what came true - also a topic for a table conversation, by the way.
"The best"
There are good New Year's entertainments without a host. Good way to entertain guests - to give them original tasks, but after all, few people want to compete just like that, right?
Therefore, we act as follows - we hang sweets on the Christmas tree or small gifts. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweet Christmas decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we do not write names, but some definitions that guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).
What to write on labels:
- The owner of the most brown eyes.
- The best high jumper.
- The biggest hooligan (here you have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
- The owner of the best tan.
- The owner of the highest heels.
- The owner of the most dangerous job.
- A couple whose sum of clothing buttons is 10.
- The one who wears more yellow today.
"Hat song"
By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve a game with a hat - they throw some notes into the hat in advance, and then they pull out and carry out the tasks of relatives or colleagues.In the new year 2019, we will play a popular variation of this game with songs with our family. In the hat you need to sketch notes with winter and New Year's words, each guest blindly takes out a note from a hat and sings a song in which this word occurs.
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 have great idea compose a small song on the go to the most popular motive, or somehow remake one of the famous New Year's songs of the past.
By the way, this game is suitable for small company of any age - of course, a schoolboy 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, new year contests for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?
So, the girls are put on dressing gowns or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the shirts on the girls so that they do not freeze!
By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's contests for teenagers and youth, wanted to do this contest the other way around - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even in mittens it is convenient to pull on the floor of the shirt and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it, it is not easy to do it in mittens.
"Let's draw Santa Claus"
Creative New Year 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 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 the task to one to portray the Snow Maiden, and to the other - Santa Claus. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.
By the way, if you are choosing contests for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to look for cheerful music- I use cuttings from children's Soviet cartoons for the New Year's contests 2019, this usually causes the warmest emotions.
"Giving Roles"
To begin funny contests for the new year for the family it is possible with such entertainment.
Prepare more fairy tale attributes new year characters, put notes with roles in empty capsules from kinders (you can just wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start the games at the table for the new year with an offer to find out who still rules the ball.
Everyone present should draw out their role. It can be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his deer. Distribute small attributes to all guests that will fit their role that night - for example, snow queen a crown will do, Santa Claus can knock loudly with an elegant staff, and a company of overgrown bunny boys with white ears will decorate any new year photo.
Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as grandmother Zima or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, starts to say a toast.
"Photo tests"
What kind cool contests for the new year without photos?
Make a zone 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 most sleepy guest;
- the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
- the hungriest Santa Claus;
- the most generous Santa Claus;
- most good grandfather Frost;
- the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
- the most gorged guest;
- the most cheerful guest;
- the most cunning Baba Yaga;
- the most evil Kashchei;
- the most powerful hero;
- the most capricious princess;
- the largest snowflake;
- and so on…
"Little Things from Santa Claus"
Tell the guests such a legend as Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell into a snowdrift with one foot and spilled gifts from a bag. The big ones stayed in the bag, but the little ones fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.
Wrap all sorts of pleasant little things that you bought in advance in an opaque package, or, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of cloth, like miniature bags tied with a thick thread or ribbon.
As pleasant things 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 fortune teller, another New Year's entertainment from the site:
