Many of us think about how exactly to celebrate the New Year long before it arrives - however, this often only applies to the choice of outfit and holiday menu. And yet, the celebration will be much more fun and entertaining if you have exciting competitions prepared for the New Year. At the same time, it doesn’t matter at all in which company you plan to celebrate the New Year - in family circle or with friends - after all, fun is appropriate everywhere. Of course, it is worth considering that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes them to panic - be respectful of other people’s desires, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active competitions, then do not insist, believing that he will “get involved”. In addition, in addition to active and active competitions, there are others that do not require special movement - for example, riddles for ingenuity. Choose a varied program in which any participant in the celebration will find something interesting for themselves! If you want your fun to be remembered for a long time, then do not forget to take photos of what is happening. By the way, this task can be entrusted to particularly shy guests who do not want to participate in the general “madness” - this way they will feel like they are part of what is happening and at the same time will not feel tense or uncomfortable. In general, take care of the holiday program in advance, as well as small gifts for the winners, and your efforts will be remembered by all guests for a long time!
Cool competitions for the New Year
Competitions for the family at the table
1. New Year's predictions. For this part New Year's program you should prepare in advance. You will have two bags at hand (can be replaced with hats) in which you should put pieces of paper with notes. So, put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction in one bag, and in the other - with the prophecies themselves. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all guests take a piece of paper from each. First, the name written on it is read from the first piece of paper, and then from the second the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are announced. 2. Honest confession. This game also requires preliminary preparation - write funny words on small pieces of paper (kikimora, deer, capricious, booger, and so on). So, someone pulls out a candy wrapper with one of the words (for example, capricious), and with a serious face, looking into the eyes of his neighbor, tells him: “I am a capricious person.” If no one laughs, then the neighbor picks up the baton, and so on in a circle until someone laughs. After this, the laugher begins the fun again. 3. Phrases of congratulations. This is very funny competition, in which it is better to know when to stop. Fill your glasses and make a celebratory toast. Each person sitting at a common table should say a congratulation phrase in turn, but it is important that they begin with the letters in alphabetical order(first a toast is made with the letter “A”, the next participant says a toast with the letter “B”, and so on until everyone has spoken). You can start the next round of toasts with the letter you stopped on. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be awarded to the person who comes up with the funniest toast in the round. 4. Guess the riddle. For this competition you should stock up on regular balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the pieces of paper and place them inside the ball, subsequently inflating it. The participant needs to burst the balloon and guess the riddle. If there is no answer from his lips, then he will need to complete the task invented by all the participants in the game. Examples of such funny riddles: “What does a student have in common with a lizard?” (Ability to get rid of the “tail” in time), “How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?” (One more pair than we already have), “What goes from one city to another, but remains motionless?” (Road) and so on. You can come up with similar riddles yourself or download them below.
New competitions for 2018 for adults
1. Drunken checkers. For this entertainment you will need a real checkers board, only the checkers themselves are replaced with stacks. How to distinguish between white and black new “checkers”? Replace black ones with shots of red wine, and white ones with white wine. The rules are the same as in regular checkers, but once you get your opponent’s “checker”, you will have to drink it! Of course, you don’t have to use wine - it can be any alcoholic beverage, just different in color. 2. Driven. For this competition you will need two radio-controlled cars. Accordingly, two people play, each of whom places a glass of alcoholic drink on their machine. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to get your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks his shot. Then the baton passes to the next pair and so on. 3. What's in my mouth. To conduct a competition for the New Year, prepare in advance a separate container with products that will be used in this experiment, but will not be on the holiday table. Let it be seven or eight unusual products. The player is blindfolded, and you give him a taste of this or that food - the contestant must guess on the first try what exactly is being offered to him. You can use other products with the next player. The one who gives the most correct answers wins.
Funny and interesting games
1. Snowballs. The competition will take place indoors, and, of course, not with real snowballs, but there is still an alternative - just crumple up napkins or paper towels (you should stock up on this material in advance). You will also need chairs according to the number of players, who, in turn, should be divided into two teams. The competitors of one team stand in a line on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit their opponents with a snowball. By the way, the “targets” have the opportunity to dodge the snowball. When all opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams switch places. The team with the highest performance (more snowballs reaching the goal) will win.2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually used to play ping pong. The man should roll the ball from his partner's left sleeve to his right, and the woman should roll the second ball from her partner's right pant leg to his left. The team that manages to cope faster wins. 3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. Participants in the competition are blindfolded, and clothespins are attached to any part of the clothing of all players. After the sound signal, you must try to remove all the clothespins from your partner. The pair that completes the task faster than others will win. Of course, we need a leader who will control this process. 4. To the touch. The two players are blindfolded and have thick gloves or mittens placed on their hands. Guests stand in front of each contestant and are given 10 seconds to guess each guest by touch. Players play in turns. The participant who completes the task faster will win. Subsequently, the next pair of players is determined. 5. Pop the balloon. Different-sex couples are selected for the game and are given balloon. The couples must hold the “props” between their bodies, and at the sound signal the balls must be “burst.” The first couple to complete the task will win. This is followed by the second round with a more complicated task: the balls need to be “burst” with their backs or even their butts.
New Year's competitions for a fun company
1. New Year's crocodile. Famous entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you of the principle of this rather simple and exciting game. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which selects one person. The presenter says a word to those chosen, and they must “show” it to their teams without making any sounds. The team that completes the task faster will win. You can play differently - one of the participants “shows” the word to everyone else, and the one who guesses first wins. To avoid any suspicion that the word was invented on the fly, we recommend writing it down on a piece of paper in advance. Since we are talking about celebrating the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic. 2. Bows. Funny and cheerful fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people to be divided into teams of three. The gender of the players does not matter. One of the participants stands in the middle of the room, while his two teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and, according to a sound signal, he must tie them on the one who is standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, feels for the bows and unties them. Similar actions occur in the second team. The company that completes the task first will win. 3. Drawing blindly. Two people play in the competition. So, the participants have their hands tied behind their backs and an easel is placed behind them. Now the players must arm themselves with felt-tip pens (hands remain behind their backs) and draw on the canvas the symbol of the coming year - the Dog. The rest of the guests should act as fans and suggest in which direction the contestants should draw next - to the left, higher, and so on. The winner will be the player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018. Then the next pair of competitors enters the game, and the competition follows a similar principle. 4. Hat. Another exciting competition in which absolutely everyone celebrating can take part. The essence of the entertainment is quite simple - players must pass a hat to each other, putting it on the neighbor’s head without the help of their palms (you can use your elbows or mouth). The one who drops the headdress is eliminated. The winner is the participant who will be left alone in the end. Of course, this game is unlikely to appeal to ladies who have decided to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles for 2018 imply simplicity and carelessness, so there should not be any special difficulties. 5. Song in a hat. A very funny and memorable competition that will especially appeal to people who love to demonstrate their vocal talents. You need to stock up on small pieces of paper in advance, on each of which you should write a word. Since we are talking about a winter holiday, you can write words related to this topic: Christmas tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer and so on. Place all these candy wrappers in a hat and invite each guest to take out a piece of paper in turn. Now the contestant must perform a short song, invented personally on the spot, making sure to use the word he was given several times.

“The mice dance in circles,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Quiet the mouse, don't make noise,
Don't wake up Vaska the cat,
How Vaska the cat wakes up -
It will break up the whole round dance!”
When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and at the last word “Round Dance” opens his eyes and runs after the mice who are trying to escape. The caught “mouse” turns into a cat, and so on in a circle. Drawing or letter to Santa Claus Most likely, all children will enjoy this entertainment, but for this you should stock up on sheets of paper and markers or colored pencils in advance.

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!

Santa Claus gives the bag to one of the participants. He must quickly get rid of it, give it to someone, because if the music stops and he ends up with him, then he is a loser. Next comes the punishment. IN in this case it’s like this - Santa Claus unties the bag, and the loser, without looking, pulls out the first item he comes across. Then, to the Homeric laughter of those gathered, he puts this item on himself - over his clothes. After that everything continues. The losing guest dances in a new outfit. The music stops again and now the next participant who happens to have the bag at that time tries on a new suit.

"Question answer"
The rules of the competition are very simple. To begin, the questions and answers listed below must be written on cards of the same size. It is advisable to use thick paper or thin cardboard. You should end up with two identical decks: one with questions, the other with answers. And then everything is simple. Shuffle each deck thoroughly and place it in the center of the table. The first player takes the question card and reads it to his neighbor. He takes the card with the answer and reads the answer out loud. Then the person who answered the question asks his next neighbor, and so on in a circle. Even just a quick look at the list below can give you an idea of the similarities there might be. What is it worth, for example: “Do you like swimming naked? “On Saturdays this is a necessity for me.” Or: “Tell me, do you like me? “When I’m drunk, and I’m always drunk!” It’s only advisable to sit down like this: guy - girl - guy - girl. Because when two guys sit next to each other, all the questions are like: “Do you like me?”, “Do you like to look into my eyes?” and even “What would you say if I kissed you now?” These guys come across it (repeatedly tested from my own experience). And what kind of answers they come across to this is generally “beyond the comprehension of the mind.”

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 are able to plan a New Year celebration as a serious cultural event, and not everyone is ready to take on the role of toastmaster, and a professional toastmaster in a home celebration will look, at a minimum, 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 you get very funny phrases :).
"Mummy"
Several pairs of volunteers are called. In each pair, one of the participants must build a “mummy” from the other using a roll of toilet paper and 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, decorating the Christmas tree with improvised 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), and for the entire current year (get married, give birth, become 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? A New Year in the Russian folk style or with classic “Soviet traditions” is good, but if it’s already “boring”, do it 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 is fully consistent with the very idea 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!
