To make the New Year's celebration interesting and joyful, hold a couple of competitions for guests. The article contains entertainment that is suitable for events of various formats.
For the whole family
IN family competitions on New Year 2019 guests from young to old will be able to take part. Each game is designed to bring loved ones closer together on the eve of the holiday.
Memory Relay
You will need a symbolic baton. It can be any object, for example, a chocolate bar. The purpose of the competition is to spend the outgoing year kind words and pleasant memories.
A person with a baton in his hands must quickly remember the most wonderful event that happened to him over the past 12 months. He tells the crowd about it. Then he passes the wand to any of those present.
If someone hesitates and cannot quickly remember anything positive, then he is given funny prize"Lucky Person of the Year 2018" Among New Year's games and entertainment for the family, such a relay race is one of the most heartwarming competitions.
Balloons with wishes
You need to prepare for this entertainment in advance. Write wishes for your household on pieces of paper, then place them inside inflatable balloons. You will also need a hat or cap. Leaves with the names of different parts of the body (elbow, heel, knee) are placed in the headdress.
Guests choose their favorite balls. But they shouldn't just eat them. This must be done with the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper from the hat. As a reward for their efforts, everyone will receive good wishes for next year.
New Year's Oscar
The New Year's Oscar is awarded for best performance role as a symbol of the New Year. The mascot of the upcoming holiday is a pig. Everyone has a specific role. One will be a “sad pig”, another will be a “mysterious”, the third will be a “piggy dreaming of rolling in the mud.”
From those who did not want to try on the role of the symbol of the New Year, you can assemble the “academy jury”. All “actors” are given props – toy snouts and ears.
Over the next 15-20 minutes, each player behaves according to their role. At the same time, you can continue to communicate with each other, but this must be done in the manner of the pig that the participant received.
At the end, the jury deliberates and writes the winner's name on paper. The leaflet can be placed in a pre-prepared envelope so that everything is like at a real ceremony. The winner receives a prize for the most artistic pig.
For children
These entertainments will appeal to kids who do not yet go to school and elementary school students. All children's competitions are active and aimed at uniting the children.
Snowballs
The competition consists of two parts. The first is making snowballs. The children are divided into two groups and a pile of newspapers is dumped in front of each of them. In a minute, the guys must “blind” them into snowballs.
After the children make “projectiles”, you can move on to the second part of the competition - the accuracy competition. Teams line up in two rows. Colored tape is glued to the floor in front of them. It marks a line that participants must not cross.
A few meters from the markings, baskets are placed - children should aim snowballs there. Time is noted again. Participants one by one approach the “firing line” and throw snowballs into the basket. The team whose catch is greater wins.
Decorating the Christmas tree
Ideally, for this competition you will need two small Christmas trees. But you can show your imagination and choose “Christmas trees” from children. The remaining players are divided into two teams. They are given safe, unbreakable toys on strings. The goal of the competition is to hang as many decorations as possible on the spruce tree in a minute. In this case, the child in the role of a tree should stand motionless.
You can complicate the game by placing “Christmas trees” at a distance of several meters from the teams, so that the participants take turns running up to it with decorations.
Tinsel
Two teams stand opposite each other. Each participant is given tinsel. The competition begins to the New Year's tune. The first player must tie his tinsel around the hand of the second child, and the latter must tie the hand of the third. When it’s the last participant’s turn, he runs to the first and puts his tinsel on his hand.
After this, the children raise their hands up together. The team that does this first wins.
Table
Sometimes you want to have fun without leaving the table. Below are competitions that will give guests a good mood without taking up a lot of energy.
Remember the alphabet
“Remember the Alphabet” is an entertainment that is ideal for that moment when guests have already drunk and eaten, but are still cheerful and cheerful. For this competition you will need filled glasses and a sense of humor.
The presenter says that he forgot the entire alphabet due to alcohol. In order for him to remember it, the guests must take turns making toasts. The first participant begins his speech with the letter A, the second with B, the third with C, and so on in a circle. For example: “Shouldn’t we drink to your health?”, “Be happy in the new year!”, “Money and good luck to everyone.”
At the end, the most original toast is chosen, and the guests drink to the winner.
Song from the hat
For this game you need to write on pieces of paper words on a New Year's theme (winter, blizzard, Snow Maiden, snowflake). The papers are sent to the header.
Guests take turns taking out pieces of paper and singing songs that contain the word they come across. To make it even more fun, you can include karaoke videos from the Internet as an accompaniment.
And again about gifts
For this game you need to prepare a bag with small comic gifts. The presenter turns to the guest sitting on the left and says: “I have wanted to give you this thing for so long, but I couldn’t give it to you because of...”. Here you need to come up with a funny reason, for example, “I myself was sorry to part with this item” or “this thing cost a fortune.”
The host then blindly pulls out a gift and hands it to the guest. After this, the person who received the gift takes the bag and makes a speech for his neighbor on the left. The more ridiculous the reason why the gift was not given, the merrier.
For adults
Competitions for adult company involve the use of strong drinks. However, there is also fun non-alcoholic entertainment.
Drink and snack
Guests are given two pieces of paper. One sticker says “drink”, the other says “snack”. Everyone must supplement the first piece of paper with an object from which to drink, for example: “Drink from the palm of the neighbor on the right” or “drink from the pan.”
On the second piece of paper, guests write what the person will have as a snack: “salt”, “sniff with hair”. The stickers are then placed in two hats or boxes and taken turns being pulled blindly.
Kinosecret
An A4 sheet is hung on the wall. One person names another character from any New Year's movie and hands a marker. The player will have to explain to the guests who they wished for him using a drawing. Artistic skills do not play any role here. The one who guessed the hero first becomes the explainer himself, as in the famous game “Crocodile”.
Festive cocktail
For this game, the participant is blindfolded with thick cloth. After a person “loses his sight,” one of the guests prepares a cocktail for him from any drinks that are on the table. The miracle potion is then given to the player to try. He must determine what components his New Year's cocktail consists of.
Guests write down his result, for example, “Igor - guessed 3 out of 5.” Then the same thing is done with the next participant. The one who correctly names all the ingredients wins. The current prize in this competition will be a hangover pill.
For a group of adults who don't drink, you can hold a similar competition, in which instead of a cocktail, the participants are given a sandwich. It can include any food that is on the table.
We are holding a lottery
The main condition for the lottery for the New Year 2019 is that it is win-win. On this holiday, everyone should go home with gifts and a good mood. Therefore, you need to know the exact number of guests in advance. Just in case, you can prepare two or three more presents.
You have to prepare not only gifts, but also lottery tickets. Since the year of the pig is coming, you can download a funny image of a pig from the Internet and print out many copies of it. Place numbers on the pictures according to the number of participants.
You can simply hand over tickets to guests before the start of the party. But it’s more interesting if you show your imagination. For example, attach pictures with numbers under the chairs. If the company is small, then you can call guests one by one to the center of the hall and ask them to sing a song, tell a poem or an anecdote. As a reward for the action, the person dips his hand into the ticket hat and pulls out his lucky pig.
Any little thing can be used as prizes - from a pin to a chocolate bar. It will be very funny if you accompany the presentation of a gift with a comic couplet. For example: “To be like in the picture all year round, get ascorbic acid!”
For schoolchildren
Competitions for schoolchildren are suitable for students of any age. Both fifth-graders and graduates usually enjoy running and jumping.
Whoever managed it sat down
Game with chairs - timeless classic for schoolchildren. Before the entertainment begins, count the number of participants. Chairs must be placed one number less. Children run around them to cheerful New Year's music. As soon as the melody turns off, the guys must sit on the chairs. The one who does not have enough space is eliminated. Despite the fact that this game has been around for many years, it always causes a lot of excitement among teenagers.
Jump into the new year
The competition is based on an old German tradition. On New Year's Eve in Germany it is customary to stand on a chair and jump from it. It is believed that the further you jump, the happier you will be over the next 12 months. To avoid injury, you can avoid using chairs. The one who jumps the furthest from a standing position wins.
Hand to hand
All players are divided into pairs. The presenter turns on fiery music, to which the guys begin to jump and dance. During the fun, all couples must separate and mix. Then the music stops abruptly, the presenter shouts: “Hand to hand!” Everyone must quickly find their partner and touch hands. Whoever is last is eliminated. In each round, the presenter gives different tasks: “Heel to heel”, “forehead to forehead”.
For the New Year 2019, the game can be made more difficult. To do this, you will need themed items, such as snowflakes made of cardboard, toy piglets, and candies in the form of Santa Claus. They must be placed in the room where the holiday is taking place. In the next round, the presenter announces: “Snowflake to snowflake,” after which everyone must take a snowflake and touch them. The last one to find the item is eliminated.
For young people
Below are several cool competitions that are perfect for celebrating the New Year in the company of young people.
Unloading the Christmas tree
Two volunteers are selected who will have to remove candies from the Christmas trees with their eyes closed. And all the other guests act as the New Year's tree. They are lined up and candy is attached to each one. You can do this using clothespins. Participants are blindfolded, given a basket and taken to different ends of the “guest tree.” On command, players begin by touch to remove candy from people and put it in their basket. The competition ends when the participants collide with each other in the middle. Who more candies- he won.
Firecrackers and girls
At the beginning of the holiday, all the boys are given a cracker. Then the rules of the competition are announced. Throughout the evening, each guy must "blow up" his firecracker without warning. And the girls, hearing the next “bang-bang”, jump into the arms of anyone standing next to them young man. Anyone who gets confused or forgets about the competition will have to complete some fun task from the guests.
Tangerines of Friendship
The guests are divided into two teams and lined up. You need to prepare two bowls of tangerines and two large empty plates. The first participant takes the tangerine with his teeth and passes it to the other person’s mouth. The last player must place the tangerine on the plate. You can't help yourself with your hands. The team that manages to collect the most citrus fruits in two minutes wins. Don't forget to wash the tangerines before the competition.
For a corporate event
Competitions for corporate parties include both outdoor games and entertainment that can be arranged without leaving the table.
Decorating the Christmas tree
Participants in the competition will have to blindly decorate a Christmas tree. But before you hang the toy on the tree, you still need to find it. Everyone who wants to is taken to the center and given a piece of jewelry. Then the guests are blindfolded and forced to spin around their axis several times.
After this, everyone begins to move forward until they come across some object or living person. The participant must hang his toy on the obstacle he encounters. The winner is the one who is lucky enough to stumble upon the Christmas tree. While moving, you cannot change its direction. Another prize is given to the player who “found” the most original place for his toy.
Dance Marathon
For this competition we will have to select several diverse musical cuts. Participants are divided into pairs. Each of them will have to perform a dance to music that absolutely does not correspond to it. For example, the presenter announces: “The first couple is dancing Lezginka.” And the song “The color of mood is blue” sounds.
The more inappropriate dance and music turn out to be for each other, the merrier. As tasks, you can recall ancient genres, such as minuet, waltz.
Promises
Everyone is given stickers on which guests write three things they will definitely do in the coming year. These leaves are then rolled up and thrown into the hat, where they are mixed. After that, each guest blindly draws a promise and reads it out loud. Funny coincidences cannot be avoided.
You can complicate the entertainment so that the one who reads “his” promise guesses who it actually belongs to.
Funny competitions
In the entertainment presented below, everyone will be able to show their artistry and imagination. All competitions are aimed at making others laugh and having a good laugh.
New Year's crocodile
To play the festive crocodile, you need to prepare a lot of stickers with the names of New Year's films. For example, " Real love", "Irony of Fate", "Carnival Night". The first player draws a piece of paper at random. The participant must perform such a pantomime so that the other guests can guess the name of the film.
The first one to name the correct answer is the next to draw a leaf from the hat. At the end, you can give out a prize for the most artistic performance.
Snowman T-shirt
Prepare three men's t shirts big size. Before the start of the holiday, they need to be rolled up and put in the freezer. Select three men to participate in the competition. They get to wear these T-shirts. Whoever does it the fastest wins. Considering the condition of the T-shirts from the freezer, the task ahead will not be easy.
Read my lips
Two players are given a pair of headphones that play music. The volume should be at such a level that people cannot hear each other. Then one player is given cards with questions about the holiday. For example: “How much do you usually drink in New Year's Eve? or “What do you like to do on the first of January?”
The second participant should try to understand the question being asked and answer it as accurately as possible. After a few minutes, the question cards are passed to the other pair of players. Those who answer correctly win greatest number questions.
For relaxed guests
Not every company likes noisy or active competitions. The next three entertainments are just for those who like calm but fun games.
Funny fortune telling
On pieces of paper, guests write questions about what awaits them in the coming year. The stickers are then rolled up and thrown into the hat. After this, guests are given new pieces of paper on which they need to write answers, for example: “this will definitely happen” or “you’ll have to wait another year.” They are thrown into another hat.
Guests take turns pulling leaves from first one, then from another headdress and read out what they came across. The more creative the questions and answers, the merrier.
Chrismas story
During this entertainment, guests will feel like real writers. Everyone is given 8-10 pieces of paper on which they need to write different words.
Half of them should be related to the New Year, and the other part should be an unlimited flight of fancy. Then all the leaves are placed in a hat and mixed thoroughly.
Everyone's favorite holiday, New Year, is approaching. One of the important components of a fun and exciting holiday is active games and original competitions, which do not allow anyone to remain on the sidelines and unite all participants in the performance. Competitions can be completely different - gaming, ingenuity, ingenuity, manual dexterity with using light fraud, for the especially uninhibited there are erotic competitions. To make the New Year's Eve memorable for a long time, and in the photographs you remember the enthusiasm of that evening and the smiles of your friends, spend them.
The choice depends only on the desires and capabilities of the participants and organizers of the holiday, on their ability to experiment and not be afraid to come up with something new and unusual. But remember: you should always remember that not all competitions are suitable for all people.
There you are several competitions for the New Year:
1. Two teams are formed: one is men, the other is women. At the signal, the players of each team begin to take off their clothes (whatever they want) and lay them out in a line. Each team has its own line. The team that makes the longest line of clothes wins.
2. Snow Maiden’s favorite treat is ice cream - that’s why a competition is being announced to name the ice cream. Everyone takes turns naming the types of ice cream, and whoever thinks for more than five seconds loses.
3. A competition of New Year's wishes is held in a similar way. Whoever thinks for more than five seconds loses.
4. A line of wallpaper is placed on the floor. Women are invited to spread their legs wide apart and walk along the “stream” without getting their feet wet. After the first attempt, you are asked to repeat the “walk along the stream,” but blindfolded. All other future participants in the game should not see how it is played. Having passed a stream blindfolded, and at the end of the path having removed the blindfold, the woman discovers that a man is lying on the stream, face up (the man lies down on the wallpaper after the task has been completed, but the blindfold has not yet been removed from the participant’s eyes). The woman is embarrassed. A second contestant is invited, and when everything is repeated again, the first contestant laughs heartily. And then the third, fourth... Everyone has fun!
5. It was my ball!!!
The competition requires 2 participants. They are given one inflatable New Year's ball, which the presenter ties to the left leg of each participant. At the command of the leader, the participants try to crush the opponent’s ball with their right foot. Recommended to play house shoes or sneakers (participants wearing tarpaulin boots or stiletto heels are not allowed to participate in the competition). The winner is the one who “bursts” the opponent’s ball with his foot faster.
6. Every lady holds in right hand ribbon twisted into a ball. The man takes the tip of the ribbon with his lips and, without touching his hands, wraps the ribbon around the lady. The winner is the one with the best outfit, or the one who completes the task faster.
7. Dance at the command of the leader
A dance is chosen, during which everyone is invited to break into pairs.
The leader commands: left shoulder to left shoulder, right shoulder to right shoulder, left cheek to left cheek, right cheek to right cheek, left ear to left ear, right ear to right ear, right foot to right leg, left foot to left foot, forehead to forehead, back to back, nose to nose. The pair that performed the commands best wins.
8. Dance
Take a simple landscape sheet of paper. The host places it on the floor, invites the couple and tells them to dance on it while the song plays.
The couple must never step on the floor outside the sheet of paper. If someone intervenes, then the couple loses. Alternatively, if they intervene, then they take off some thing from themselves, but in no case any coins or similar small things. If the couple dances without ever stepping over the edge of the sheet, then they win.
9.Napkin drag
For the competition you need a napkin and several cocktail straws.
The napkin breaks into several pieces. On each piece we write the name of the prize. Between the opponents, place a piece of napkin on the table with the wording facing down.
At the command "Start!" Opponents must use a cocktail straw to pull the napkin towards them.
The second version of the game is to write a comic task on a napkin. In this case, the loser must complete this task.
10. Zoo (for 8 or more people)
The players stand in a circle. The presenter whispers a role to everyone: “hippopotamus” or “eagle”. Everyone hugs each other's shoulders. When the leader says “eagle!” loudly to everyone, the “eagles” tuck both legs. When “hippopotamus!”, they draw their legs under them. There will be even more fun if suddenly big company there will be a clear minority of certain “animals”.
11. Associations (for 4 or more people)
The presenter leaves the room, and the rest decide who will be guessed. Then the presenter tries to guess the person based on his abstract description. The presenter asks leading questions. For example: “If this person was... a cloud (a tree, a monkey, a hanger, a Snow Maiden), then what would he look like (run, fly, play hockey?).” It is necessary to compare and guess. A very fun game.
12. The competition is quite funny, it can be held in any conditions, but it is very advisable to have a camera and an approximately equal number of girls/boys.
The point is this - 2 sets of names of body parts are written on pieces of paper - well, hand, stomach, forehead.... then 2 sets of names are pulled out in pairs. The task is to touch the indicated parts of the body. and in the process...it turns out simple visual material According to the Kama Sutra, a camera is simply necessary here!!! and the couple who manages to touch wins the largest number points!!! You will really like this competition if it is held in a youth company of close friends.
13. Christmas tree
For the game you need: stool or chair - 1 piece, girl - 1 piece, clothespins - a lot.
Clothespins are attached to the girl's dress, the girl is placed on a stool, 2 young men are selected from among the company (you can even divide into 2 teams), who remove the clothespins from her blindfolded.
The one who removes the last clothespin, or the one who has the most clothespins, takes the girl off the chair and kisses her as many times as there are clothespins. The game can be played in reverse, i.e. a guy stands on a stool.
Let's think about how best to organize competitions, if married couples are gathered in the company.
Let's say, this entertainment is great to organize from about 21 o'clock in order to celebrate the New Year in an enthusiastic mood. For example, everyone describes the most significant event in the past year and a cherished dream that should come true in the coming year. If you come to visit with a child, and the child does not yet know how to write, he can draw. We put all the leaves in a box (we decorate everything beautifully with snowflakes, pictures, tinsel, etc.). Seal with tape. We will open it in exactly one year and fill it with new content.
Then there is a costume competition. You need to buy masks, noses, glasses, jewelry at the wholesale market in advance, pick up old dresses, skirts, scarves, etc. We draw lots to see who gets what suit. We listed - Snow Maiden, clown, Indian.
The next competition is "frost breath". There are three snowflakes on the table. Participants blow on them to make them fall off the table. When all the snowflakes fall, announce that the one whose snowflake fell last won (so he froze it to the table).
Next is a culinary competition. When all the participants are dressed in the costumes they have made (so as not to stain their holiday clothes), they are given plates and given the task of making an original salad from the treats on the table). And then, blindfolded, you have to feed your dish to another participant. The winner is the one who feeds the other one most accurately.
And the last competition. In the hat there are small pieces of paper on which one word is written (Christmas tree, icicle, Santa Claus, frost, etc.) Everyone takes turns taking notes out of the hat and sings a song - always a New Year's or winter song, in which the word written in his leaf!
We always look forward to the New Year with great impatience, because it is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. Every family carefully prepares for it: they develop a menu, plan guests, buy outfits, think through the course of the event so that it does not turn into simple overeating. New Year's table games for adults best option for those who have invited guests and want to have fun. If you yourself are embarrassed to act as a leader, you can determine it at the table. Therefore, boldly and without hesitation, we appoint the most active of the guests as responsible for games for adults. Well, preparing them will not be any problem.
New Year's games for a small company
It’s not difficult to find fun table competitions for the New Year’s holiday, the main thing is to be able to adapt them to your company. If it is small, then entertainment should be selected accordingly.
Carried
You will need radio-controlled cars, two of them. Two contestants prepare their cars and the “track” to any point in the room, placing a shot of vodka on their cars. Then, carefully, without spilling, they try to roll it to their destination, where they drink it. You can continue the game by bringing some snacks. You can also make it in the form of a relay race, for this you will have to divide into teams, the first must bring it to the point and back, pass the baton to another neighbor, the last player drinks a glass or what is left in it.
Cheerful artist
The presenter makes a wish for the first player; he stands in a pose that characterizes what was wished for, without voicing it. For example: a man screws in a lamp. In turn, each participant must adjust to the previous one so that the picture emerges. The latter stands up like an artist with a brush and easel for painting. He is trying to tell what exactly he “depicted.” Then, everyone talks about their pose.
"I never" (or "I never")
This is a funny confession. Each of the guests invited to a corporate party begins to confess with the phrase: “I have never...”. For example: “I have never drunk tequila.” But the answers must be progressive. That is, someone who has already confessed to small things must then talk about something deeper. Table confessions can be very fun, the main thing is not to get carried away, otherwise you can give away your deepest secrets.
Table games for a large, cheerful group of adults
If a large party has gathered to celebrate the New Year, it is best to hold group or team events.
let's drink
The company is divided into two groups and stands in a row opposite each other. Each one in their hands disposable cup with wine (it’s better not to take champagne and strong drinks, as you might choke). Place glasses in everyone's right hand. On command, they must give their neighbor a drink in order: first, the last person drinks the second to last person, then the next person, and so on. As soon as the first one has received his dose, he runs to the last one and treats him. Those who finish first will be the winners.
"Mistress"
A merry New Year's holiday necessarily means a lot of decorations. The company is divided into two halves, they are given a box of the same size. Also, each team receives a certain number of different things: Christmas decorations, candy wrappers, sweets, napkins, souvenirs, etc. It is necessary to temporarily and carefully place everything in the boxes so that they close evenly without bulges. After a certain amount of alcohol, this is not so easy to do.
Whichever team puts things together more neatly and quickly will be the winner. The quality should not suffer; if this is the case, a vote should be organized from people not participating in the competition.
"Tumbleweed"
Guests at the New Year's table are divided equally and sit on chairs opposite each other. An apple is placed on the first player's lap and they must roll the apple across the lap from the first player to the last without using their hands. If the fruit falls, the group loses, but they can redeem themselves by picking it up without hands and returning it to the very beginning.
"Drinkers"
This will be a relay race. We install two stools, on the stools there are plastic glasses with an alcoholic drink. There should be as many of them as there are players. We divide the guests in half, possibly by gender, and place them behind each other, opposite each stool at some distance from it. Everyone's hands are behind their backs. We place a trash bin next to them. One by one, they run up to the high chair, drink any of the glasses without their hands, then run back, throwing the empty container in the trash and return to the back of the line. Only after this can the next person run.
Games at the table for a New Year's corporate party
The entertainment program can also be of a table type. This scenario is chosen for a more shy group of people.
Merry singers
For this game, you should prepare cards in advance with any words related to the holiday, alcohol, New Year's characters, etc. For example: Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snow, vodka, wine, sparks, candles, frost, Santa Claus, gifts. Then a presenter is selected who will nominate a player, pull out a card and announce the word itself. The chosen person must sing a verse or chorus featuring that word in the song. No more than 10 seconds are given to think. This game can be played by dividing into teams, the result will be a larger number of songs performed.
Rhyme
All guests at the table stand in a circle. The presenter has cards with the words “uh”, “ah”, “eh” and “oh”. The player draws a card, and the others make a wish for him. For example, he said, “Oh.” The team says: “Hug three” or “Kiss three” or “Catch three.” Here is an example of several wishes:
“Walk on your hands”;
“stand on your hands”;
“share about the news”;
“dance in front of guests”;
“sing in front of guests”;
“tell everyone your compliments out loud”;
“shout that you are a mug”;
“kiss two at once”;
“crawl between two legs”;
“tell your wishes out loud”;
“find out two with your eyes closed”;
“make everyone laugh”;
“hug everyone”;
“give everyone a drink”;
“feed everyone.”
You can come up with funny answers ad infinitum, the main thing is that the rhyme is observed.
Tell us about the hostess(s)
Everything is very simple here. You should prepare questions for guests in advance, such as:
If this is a pair, then:
- “Where did these people meet?”
- “How many years have they been living together?”
- "Favorite vacation spot."
Desires
The first participant is given a pen and a piece of paper. He writes briefly his great desire: “I want…”. The rest only write adjectives like: let it be fluffy, it must be iron, or simply smelly, senseless, and so on.
Very adult, funny and cool entertainment
Adult games at the New Year's table are not suitable for every company - this should be taken into account. But after a certain amount of time, you can try to offer them something from the repertoire below and then navigate the situation. The answers can be both serious and funny.
Christmas tree
For the competition, you need to stock up on Christmas tree decorations (preferably ones that don’t break) and clothespins. First, attach all the toys by strings to clothespins. Several couples of the opposite sex are called, the men are blindfolded, and within a certain period of time they must hook as many toys as possible onto the women's clothing. The game can be “diluted” by changing pairs and removing clothespins from other women. You can also switch their roles - women will dress up men. And don’t forget to rate each Christmas tree, because the one with the most elegant one will win, and only then, to the stormy applause of the company, take off the toys.
Fairy tale
Any short story, All participants of the New Year's table stand in a circle, leaving the center free. An author is appointed who reads a fairy tale, for example “The Three Little Pigs”; it is not very short, but can be easily reduced to a page. Then everyone in a circle chooses a role for themselves. And not only animated characters, but also natural phenomena or objects. A tree, grass, even the phrase “once upon a time,” can be played on.
The story begins: Once upon a time there lived (went or went “lived and were”) three little pigs (went the little pigs). The sun was shining in the sky (the sky is shining while holding the sun in your arms). The piglets were lying on the grass ("grass" lay down, or better yet three pieces of grass, the piglets fell on it), etc. If there are few people, the freed heroes in the form of grass can take following roles to continue the game.
You can act out not only a fairy tale, but also a song or poem, or you can come up with your own funny stories.
Sweet tooth
Several pairs of the opposite sex are selected for the game. Men are blindfolded, women are placed on pre-prepared tables or chairs (sports mats). Napkins are placed over their body, on which chocolate candies without candy wrappers are placed. Then they bring a man to them, and he must find all the candies without hands (and therefore without eyes). You don't have to eat them. To avoid embarrassment, it is best to call spouses or a real couple. But in adults, especially for New Year's table, with a good sense of humor, which is seasoned with a glass of champagne, there are usually no problems.
Eat a banana
Several pairs are called. Men sit on chairs, hold a banana between their knees, women approach their partners and, hiding their hands behind their backs, must peel and eat it. Adults are given a certain amount of time for the procedure. You can also use cucumbers instead of bananas.
Finally
New Year's games for fun company should be prepared in advance. Especially if there will be a lot of guests and among them there will be unfamiliar people about whom you need to learn as much as possible. Entertaining competitions at the New Year's table for adults are diluted with dancing or karaoke singing for variety.
Table games 2020 can be played both for fun and for incentive prizes. If you choose team adult games, then votes are counted for each group. If the participants are competing alone, reward them with chips, and then by counting the chips, the prize goes to the winner. The rest of the adults at the New Year's table will be content with consoling gifts.
Funny, amusing competitions will allow you to have a good rest and have fun at new year party. For presenters tasked with organizing the entertainment part, we offer original selection games, competitions and quizzes for a festive corporate party scenario!
To make the New Year's holiday more successful, we have made for you a selection of the most interesting competitions and fun.
Table
To begin with, we propose to include in the program New Year's corporate party At work cool competitions at the table.
What will Santa Claus give?
Attributes: small pieces of paper, pens (or pencils).
Guests before sitting down festive table, each receive a small piece of paper and write down what gift they would like to wish for themselves in the new year. This could be, for example, a new apartment, a car, a dog, a trip, money, a lover...
The leaves are rolled up and placed in beautiful box, a hat... At some point in the evening, the presenter asks everyone to pull out an arbitrary piece of paper and find out what good Santa Claus has prepared for him for next year. Everyone has different desires, so it will be fun! And your wish will come true if you save the piece of paper until the next holiday, and then tell about what came true.
You can attach the leaves with threads to a rope/fishing line and then, as you did in childhood, blindfolded and using scissors, cut off your wish. Another variation is to link notes to balloons and distribute to those present.
I want, I want, I want!... Branded want
Another game about wishes. But this time without attributes.
5-7 volunteers are called. They take turns naming their wish for next year. You need to speak quickly, without holding up the line! Stopping for more than 5 seconds means the player is eliminated. We play until we win - until the last player! (Small prize possible).
Let's raise a glass! New Year's toasts
When guests get bored in the midst of a feast, invite them not just to fill their glasses, but to make a toast or congratulations to everyone present.
There are two conditions - each speech must be one sentence long and begin with the letters of the alphabet in order!
For example:
- A - I am absolutely sure that the new year will be the best!
- B - Be healthy and happy!
- Q – In general, I’m glad that I’m with you today!
- G - Pride bursts at the sight of those gathered at this table!..
The most fun moment is when the letters e, e, yu, y, s come into play.
Game option: each next toast begins with the last letter of the previous congratulation. For example: “I’m very glad if you support me with applause! “And all the best to you...” To complicate things, you can prohibit starting a toast with prepositions, conjunctions and interjections.
“I’ll sing about Frost!” Compose a ditty
Those who wish during the evening must write and then present to the audience a ditty, which contains pre-set New Year's words or topics. It could be “New Year, Father Frost, Snow Maiden.”
You can compose awkward songs - with the last line unrhymed, but maintaining the given rhythm of the ditty. Example:
Hello, red Santa Claus
you brought us gifts!
The most important thing is ten days
Let's just relax.
Snow news
Attributes: Cards with word-nouns. There are 5 completely unrelated nouns written on the cards. It is advisable to include at least 1 winter word there.
The participant draws out a card, reads out loud the given words and within 30 seconds (although if those present at the party are already, well, very tired, then 1 minute is possible) comes up with a news story from one sentence. And all the words from the card should fit in it.
Nouns can be turned into other parts of speech (adjectives, verbs, adverbs...) and changed as you like, and the news must certainly be interesting and funny.
You can start the news with the words “Sensation!”
For example:
- 1 card – “road, chair, roof, bicycle, snowman.” Sentence - “Outside the city, a huge snowman with a broken roof was discovered on a road bike with a chair instead of a seat!”
- Card 2 – “fence, sound, ice floe, shop, Christmas tree.” Sentence - “Near the store, under the fence, someone left a Christmas tree with sounding pieces of ice.”
Try this: it will be even more interesting if you prepare a lot of cards, where one different word will be written, and the players themselves will draw out the 5 words they get.
Fun guaranteed!
I like/don't like my neighbor
The game does not require any improvised means! But requires a sufficient degree of emancipation or relaxed relationships in the team.
The presenter invites everyone present to name which part of the body (can be clothing) they like about the person sitting on the left, and which they don’t like. For example: “My neighbor on the right, I like his left ear and don’t like his bulging pocket.”
After everyone has named and remembered what was said, the presenter asks to kiss (or stroke) what they like and bite (or spank) what they don’t like.
Not everyone can play, but only 6-8 brave ones are called into the circle.
Our friend is orange!
This game can be played on New Year's holiday in the office only if all colleagues know each other well. Or at least everyone has a friend or girlfriend in the team.
The presenter thinks of a person from those present at the table. And the participants, with the help of leading questions, try to guess who it is.
But questions are not simple - they are associations! Whoever guesses first wins.
The questions are something like this:
- — What fruit/vegetable does it look like? - For an orange.
- — What food is it associated with? - With pies.
- - With what animal? - With a mole.
- — With what music? - With choral singing.
- - With what flower?
- - With what plant?
- - By car?
- - Color?
- — Part of the world?
Yin-yang cones
Attributes: 2 cones – one painted White color, the other in black. If you have nothing to paint with, you can wrap them with colored ones. woolen threads the desired color.
The course of the fun: a host is selected from among the guests, who will have these two cones. They are signals of his answers, because he is not allowed to speak at all. He thinks of a word, and the others, with the help of leading questions, try to guess what he has in mind.
The whole secret is that he can only silently show: YES - this is a white lump, NO - black. If neither this nor that, he can lift both at once.
The first one to guess correctly wins.
Instead of cones, you can take multi-colored ones Christmas balls. But you need to be careful with glass ones, especially if the presenter has already drunk a couple of glasses of champagne.
Associations on paper. Broken telephone associations
Attributes of the players: paper and pen.
The first person writes any noun word on his piece of paper and speaks it quietly into his neighbor’s ear. He comes up with his own association for this word, writes it down and whispers it to the next person.
This is how associations are transmitted along the chain... The last one speaks out loud the word given to him. It is compared with the original source and it is fun to find out at which link in the chain of associations the failure occurred: everyone reads out their nouns.
funny neighbor
Any number of guests can play.
We stand in a circle, and the driver begins: he performs an action with his neighbor that will make him laugh. He can take him by the ear, pat him on the shoulders, tap him on the nose, flick his arm, touch his knee... That's it, those standing in a circle must repeat the same movement with your neighbor/neighbor.
The one who laughs is eliminated.
Then the driver makes the next movement, everyone repeats. If no one laughed, new movement. And so on until the last “Nesmeyana”.
New Year's rhyme machine
The driver reads out little-known New Year/winter quatrains. But he only says the first 2 lines out loud.
The rest are invited to take part in a competition for the best rhymer.
Guests come up with and rhyme the last two lines. Then the funniest and most original poet is selected, and then the original poem is read out amid general laughter and joy.
Drawing competition “I see, I see New Year!”
Those who wish are given A-4 sheets of free-form lines and felt-tip pens. Everyone has the same image (copier can help you).
The task is to complete a picture on a New Year's theme.
Of course, everyone knows who in the team is best versed in painting. So he or she will evaluate the results. Whoever is more interesting is the winner! There can be many winners - it’s a holiday!
Movable
Nimble cone
Attributes: pine or fir cones.
Progress of the game: guests can either sit at the table or stand in a circle (if they have been sitting too long by this time). The task is to pass the pine cone to each other. Condition - you can transfer it only by holding it on back side two palms. Try it, it's quite difficult... But also fun!
You can also divide into equal teams, and whichever one hands over its cone faster wins.
My Frost is the most beautiful!
You will need various items such as: garlands, funny hats, scarves, beads, ribbons. socks, mittens, women's bags... Two or three ladies who want to be in the role of Snow Maidens for a few minutes each choose a man to turn him into Father Frost.
From items prepared in advance on the table, the Snow Maidens create a cheerful image of their hero. In principle, you can end here by choosing the most successful and funniest model...
The Snow Maiden can take snowflakes for herself, which will help with the “design” of Santa Claus and with advertising.
Snow paths
This is a very successful game to determine pairs for subsequent New Year competitions.
Attributes: colored ribbons in winter shades (blue, light blue, silver...). Length 4-5 meters. It is necessary to cut the ribbons in half in advance and sew them together, mixing up the halves.
3-4 pairs of players are called. The presenter holds a basket/box, to which lie multi-colored ribbons, the ends of which hang down.
Presenter: “On New Year’s Day, the paths were covered with snow... The blizzard mixed up the paths in Santa Claus’s house. We need to untangle them! In pairs, each grab the end of the tape that you like and pull the track towards you. The couple that draws their ribbon before the others will receive a prize!”
Players choose a pair and the color of the ribbon, expecting that there will be a single ribbon at the ends of the same color. But the fun is that the ribbons are sewn in different ways, and completely unexpected pairs are formed.
Happy people train
Everyone loves round dances: both small and large (and those who are embarrassed to admit it)!
Give your guests a round dance-train. It is clear that vacationers at a party may find it difficult to motivate themselves to participate in an active competition, so come up with something for them branded slogans.
— Now those who are attached to the train are
a) desires great wealth for himself,
b) wants to be loved,
c) who wants a lot of health,
d) who dreams of traveling to the sea, etc.
The host drives the train around the hall, it fills and fills with guests. And when it is clear that no one else can be pulled out from behind the tables, train dances are arranged (the host can show them) to daring music.
New Year's fixed deposit
Attributes: candy wrapper money.
Two pairs are selected, each with a man and a woman. It is advisable for the men to be dressed approximately the same (if one has a jacket, then the other should also wear a jacket).
— Dear women, the New Year is approaching, and you need to have time to make a fixed-term deposit in the bank. Here's some money for you (each of the women is given a pack of candy wrappers). These are initial payments. You will put them in the bank on a super fixed deposit. Your men are your banks. Only one condition - each “bill” is in a separate cell! Pockets, sleeves, collars, lapels and other secluded places can become cells. Contributions can be made while the music is playing. Just remember where you put your money. Let's start!
The task is given 1-2 minutes.
- Attention! Intermediate check: whoever managed to make a full investment (not a single candy wrapper left in their hands) receives an additional point. All the money is in business!
- And now, dear depositors, you must quickly withdraw cash - after all, we know that it was a super quick deposit. Each of you will be filming blindfolded, but you will always remember what you put and where. Music! Let's start!
The trick is that the men are swapped, and the women, blindfolded, “search” someone else’s partner without knowing it. Everyone has fun!
We are actors no matter what!
Those who wish to participate are given cards with tasks. None of them knows in advance what they will have to face.
The presenter announces that the participants need to take a walk in front of everyone, depicting what is written on the cards. Here is a sample list:
- tightrope walker over the abyss,
- duck in the yard,
- teenager with a stalled bike,
- shy girl,
- shy Japanese woman in a kimono in the rain,
- baby starting to walk,
- heron in the swamp,
- Joseph Kobzon at a performance
- policeman at the market,
- hare along the path,
- model on the catwalk,
- arab sheikh,
- cat on the roof, etc.
The tasks can be supplemented and expanded with any ideas.
Funny joke “Bear in a den or slow-witted spectators”
Attention: only played once!
The presenter invites someone who wants to perform a pantomime, takes him to a separate room and gives him a “secret” task - portray without words bear (hare or kangaroo).
Meanwhile, the presenter's assistant negotiates with the others NOT to understand his body movements.
The volunteer returns and begins to show the selected animal with movements and gestures. The guests pretend that they do not understand and call anything but the person they are shown.
- Does he waddle around? Yes, this is the platypus (lame fox, tired boar)!
- Licking his paw? The cat is probably washing itself.
Etc.
It happens that the person portraying is surprised by the guests’ lack of understanding and begins to get angry: “Are you so stupid? It's so simple! And if he shows hellish patience, shows it again and again - he has nerves of iron! But this also amuses the employees gathered at the party. There is no need to delay. When the player begins to run out of imagination and patience, you can guess the correct animal.
3. Music competitions
Can you imagine the New Year without music, songs and dances? That's right, no! For additional entertainment and fun, many music competition games have been invented for the New Year's corporate party.
Scene “Clip-song”
This is the most creative musical fun for a New Year's corporate evening.
Prepare musical accompaniment in advance: songs about Father Frost, the Christmas tree, the Snow Maiden... and simple attributes that will help the players dress up (beads, hats, felt boots, scarves...)
The task is to make a corporate video for the song “The Little Christmas Tree Is Cold in Winter.” We need an operator who will shoot a video clip on camera.
Participants, to the accompaniment of songs, begin to depict all the actions that are sung about: “the little gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree” - the hero is jumping, “they hung the beads” - the team hangs the beads on an improvised living “Christmas tree”.
You can divide into two teams (employees and female employees) and each will shoot their own video. It is advisable to display the results on a large screen and compare them. The winners will be awarded with branded souvenirs or applause.
Competition "Lazy Dancing"
The players sit in a circle on chairs and begin to dance to the cheerful New Year's music and song. But these are strange dances - no one gets up from their seats!
They dance at the command of the leader in different parts body:
- First we dance with our elbows!
- Then shoulders
- legs,
- fingers,
- lips,
- eyes, etc.
The rest choose the coolest dance.
Upside down song
This funny game, which you can play at any time during the holiday. The presenter recites lines from a New Year/winter song, but with the words in reverse. Everyone's task is who is faster guess the original and sing it. The person who guesses correctly is given a chip (candy wrapper, candy, cone...) so that later it will be easier to count the winner in the entire competition.
The lines might look something like this:
— The birch tree died in the steppe. - The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.
- The old month is slow, nothing will happen for a long time. - The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon.
— White, white steam rose on the ground. — Blue-blue frost lay on the wires.
- One gray donkey, one gray donkey. - Three white horses, three white horses.
— A brave white wolf was sitting on a baobab tree. - The cowardly gray bunny was jumping under the Christmas tree.
- Keep quiet, Santa Claus, where are you going? - Tell me, Snow Maiden, where have you been?
- Read me a book about 1 hour. - I’ll sing you a song about five minutes.
— The huge palm tree is hot in the summer. – The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.
— The weights were removed and left the chain. - They hung the beads and began to dance in a circle.
“I was running away from you, Snow Maiden, and wiped away a few sweet smiles.” - I was running after you, Santa Claus. I shed a lot of bitter tears.
- Oh, it’s hot, it’s hot, warm you up! Warm you and your camel. - Oh, frost-frost, don’t freeze me! Don't freeze me, my horse.
- Your worst acquisition is me. - My best gift is you.
Song competition “Musical hat of Santa Claus”
Attributes: put words from New Year's songs.
The players pass it around in a circle to the accompaniment of music. When the music stops, the person who received the hat at that moment takes out a card with the word and must remember/sing the piece of the song where it appears.
You can play in teams. Then the hat is passed from representative to representative of each team. You can limit the time it takes to complete a task and reward the team for every guess they make.
If you’re not sure that your guests are so quick-thinking, write not just one word, but a short phrase. Then it will be easier to remember the song!
Dance by candlelight
A dynamic, but at the same time very calm and gentle dance competition.
Play slow music and encourage couples to light sparklers and dance. The couple whose fire burns longer wins and will receive a prize.
If you want to add spice to your dance, choose tango!
An old song in a new way
Print the lyrics of famous (not even New Year's) songs and prepare musical accompaniment without words (karaoke music).
This could be Karabas Barabas, the Snow Maiden, an evil policeman, a kind Baba Yaga, and even your boss.
Quietly loud
A well-known song is chosen, which all guests begin to sing in chorus.
On the command “Quiet!” sing a song to themselves. On the command “Loud!” out loud again.
And since everyone sang at their own pace, the loud choir begins with different words. And this is repeated several times, amusing everyone.

With felt boots you can also come up with many different relay races: divide into teams and run, passing them on to each other as a team; carry on outstretched arms so as not to drop; put on felt boots and run backwards (it’s difficult to do this in big ones), etc. Imagine!
Don't drop the lump
Attributes: “snow” balls made from crumpled paper; large spoons (wooden possible).
