New Year's competition for spectators. Dressing up scenes

After active dancing, sitting at the table, guests participate in the next competition. The presenter offers to remember all the New Year's attributes. Guests take turns naming the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, etc. The one whose name is the last one wins.

Recipe for New Year's happiness

Each of the participants, after a few minutes of reflection, is invited to create their own exclusive recipe for New Year's happiness and paint it beautifully for the jury of the other guests to judge. For example, take a handful of luck and a pinch of luck, add a large number of family comfort and understanding, mix thoroughly and so on. Whichever guest has the best and most beautiful recipe deserves a prize.

Light it up

In this competition, each participant receives his own set: a bag tied with a simple knot, and in it is another bag, and in this bag is another bag, and another, and another. All bags are tied, and in the very last bag (bag) there is a sparkler. At the command “start”, all participants begin to disassemble the “pyramid” of packages, that is, untie one and take out the second, until they reach the light that needs to be burned. Whichever participant can do it faster than the rest will receive a prize.

Dolphins in a snowdrift

Participants are divided into two teams with an equal number of people and line up. In front of each team there is a chair on which there is a basin or other container full of cut out snowflakes. Among these snowflakes there should be the same number of candies hidden as there are participants in the team. At the command “start”, each of the participants in turn runs up to the bowl, dives into it with his head and takes out one candy, then the second, third, and so on until the end. Whose team completes the task the fastest and passes its test is the winner.

New Year's chimes (funny)

When guests gather, some of them are given task tokens at the entrance; you can even sell them for more intrigue. The tokens indicate that the invitee must complete some task at a certain time. It’s very funny when, in the middle of a toast, one of the guests suddenly crows or starts dancing a twist on the table.

Twelve

In advance, 12 items are laid out in the room; these can be buttons, balls, candies, laces, coins, and so on. At the “start” command, each of the guests begins to look for objects, one participant must have one set of objects, that is, one guest decided to collect buttons, which means he is looking for all 12 buttons. The participant who collects their items faster than others will win and receive a prize. Prizes can also be awarded for second and third place.

Count the balls on the Christmas tree

For this competition, the presenter must know in advance the correct answer, exactly how many balls, not other toys, but balls, on the Christmas tree. On command, all guests are accepted for bookkeeping. Whichever participant is the fastest to count the Christmas tree balls and shout out the correct answer is the winner.

Burn it with fire

In China there is a ritual - to burn money for the New Year so that there will be prosperity and happiness in the coming year. This competition is best held at the height of the holiday, when guests after champagne are full of courage and enthusiasm. Whichever guest burns (with the help of a lighter and a bowl) more money than the rest (in total) is recognized as the winner, and at the same time the richest person of the coming year.

Symbol of the year

When everyone is tired of running, jumping and galloping, you can devote time to the competition for imagination and creativity. Each participant must, in 5 minutes, come up with something to make out of and actually make a symbol of the year, for example, make a muzzle or an entire pig (dog, rooster, etc.) from food on the table. The symbol of the year can be made from anything that comes to mind (money and coins; Christmas tree decorations or any other interior items). Based on the voting results of all guests, the most beautiful and creative crafts, and its author will be awarded a prize.

Father Frost and Snow Maiden of different nationalities

Guests are divided into pairs and not necessarily only: guy-girl. Each pair identifies its own Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. Each couple takes turns taking their phantom out of the bag, which indicates a specific nationality, for example, Chinese, Germans, ancient Russians, Egyptians, Armenians, Georgians, and so on. After all the couples have pulled out their forfeits and found out their nationality, each couple in turn goes to the center and congratulates the guests of the corresponding nationality. It will be fun and interesting for everyone to receive New Year's congratulations from Chinese Father Frost and his Snow Maiden or from the Old Slavonic heroes of the New Year. And the prize, as always, is for the most artistic and active.

All participants stand in a circle. Santa Claus is in the center. He has a bag in his hands. The contents of the bag are known only to him. There are a wide variety of things in the bag. These can be panties, Panama hats, bras, etc. Anything, the main thing is that they are funny and gigantic in size.

The music turns on and everyone starts moving in a circle. 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 this case, it is 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.

New Year's competitions can be safely “diluted” with outdoor games. Here you can choose games for entertainment, both for an adult company and for a family. Have a good, cheerful and unforgettable New Year's Eve! Happy New Year 2020!

If the game is not played in the company of a house, but, for example, in a square or in a club, then two participants are first selected, and when they do not have enough clothes for the chain (after all, when taking off your clothes, you must remain within the bounds of decency), then the hall is asked to help the participants, and anyone who wishes can continue the chain of the player he likes.

Competition - game "Sector Prize"(new)

(from reader Maria)
The essence of the game: a box is prepared containing either the prize itself or a part of this prize. Only one player is selected and asked to choose: a prize or N amount of money (if there is no real money, money from a joke store, i.e. not real money, is a perfect substitute). And then it starts like on the TV program “Field of Miracles”, guests, friends, relatives, etc. sitting next to them shout “... prize”, and the presenter offers to take the money (just in case something happens, don’t say that the money is from a joke store or otherwise the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The presenter’s task is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but money has never bothered anyone, that they need to take it. The player's choice can be made in different ways, be it a children's counting rhyme or according to some separate criteria. In order to make it interesting for all the guests, so that no one is offended (why did you choose this or that player), you can raffle off several prizes, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as was said earlier, it may not be real money).

Competition for a group of adults

Hit the target!

A proven competition - bursting laughter and fun are guaranteed. The competition is more suitable for men-) Required for the competition: empty bottles, rope (about 1 meter long for each participant) and pens and pencils.

Fun competition for the family “New Year’s Turnip”

(This competition is time-tested, a great option for the New Year, fun will be guaranteed!)

The number of participants is based on the number of characters in this famous fairy tale plus 1 presenter. New actors need to remember their role:
Turnip - alternately hits his knees with his palms, claps his hands, and at the same time says: “Both-on!”
Grandfather rubs his hands: “Okay, sir.”
The grandmother threatens her grandfather with her fist and says: “I would kill him!”
Granddaughter - (for super-effect, choose a man of impressive size for this role) - twitches her shoulders and says, “I’m ready.”
Bug - scratches behind the ear, says: “The fleas are tormented”
Cat – sways her hips “And I’m on my own”
The mouse shakes its head, “We’ve finished!”
The presenter reads the classic text “Turnip”, and the heroes, having heard themselves mentioned, play their role:
“Grandfather (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Oba-na”). Turnip (“Both-on!”) ​​grew big and big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Both-on!”). He pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Grandfather called (“Tek-s”) Grandma (“I would kill”)…” etc.
The real fun begins after the words of the presenter: “Grandfather for Turnip, Grandma for Dedka...” First, conduct a rehearsal, and then the “performance” itself. Bursts of laughter and great mood secured!

A Christmas tree was born in the forest (musical scene, readers recommend)

We turn on the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, just as in “Turnip”, distribute roles to the participants (it is recommended to write the roles on pieces of paper in advance and for the participants to randomly choose a role for themselves: “Christmas tree”, “Frost”, etc. ) and act out this children's song to the music.
It looks very funny when adults get used to a children's song.

“Phrases of congratulations”

The presenter reminds that New Year's Eve is in full swing, and some people are already having difficulty remembering the last letter of the alphabet. Guests are invited to fill their glasses and say New Year's toast, but with one condition. Each person present begins the congratulation phrase with the letter A, and then proceeds alphabetically.
For example:
A - Absolutely happy to drink to the New Year!
B - Be careful, New Year is coming!
B - Let's drink to the ladies!
It's especially fun when the game gets to G, F, P, S, L, B. The prize goes to the one who came up with the funniest phrase.

New Year 2020 - what to give?

The most sensitive

Only women participate in the competition. The participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The presenter quietly places a small object on each chair. On command, all participants sit down and try to determine what kind of object is under them. Looking at and using hands is prohibited. The first one to determine wins. You can guess the number of identical objects (caramels, tangerines) placed on a chair.

Surprise

Crocodile

All participants are divided into two teams. The first team comes up with a clever word and then says it to one of the players on the opposing team. The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plastic movements, so that his team can guess what was planned. After successfully guessing, the teams change roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.

The players' task is to cheat Balloons in the allotted time without using your hands.

Whale

Everyone stands in a circle and joins hands. It is advisable that there are no breakable, sharp, etc. nearby. items. The presenter speaks into each player's ear the names of two animals. And he explains the meaning of the game: when he names any animal, then the person who was told this animal should sit down sharply in his ear, and his neighbors to the right and left, on the contrary, when they feel that their neighbor is crouching, should prevent this from happening, supporting the neighbor by the arms . It is advisable to do all this at a fairly fast pace, without giving any breaks. The funny thing is that the second animal that the presenter speaks into the players’ ears is the same for everyone - “WHALE”. And when, a minute or two after the start of the game, the presenter suddenly says: “Whale,” then everyone inevitably has to sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor. :-))

Masquerade

Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance (national hats, clothes, underwear, swimsuits, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. Balls can be inserted into the bra). A DJ is selected. He turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music starts playing, the participants begin to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has the bag left in his hands pulls out one item and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everyone looks very funny.

“What do you like about your neighbor?”

Everyone sits in a circle and the leader says that now everyone must say what they like about their neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the presenter joyfully announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.

We carry interest and love for the holiday called New Year throughout our lives; from it we expect gifts, miracles and special fun. What kind of fun would it be without New Year's games, competitions, fairy tales with dressing up and funny entertainment!? Moreover, everyone wants to move around a little and have some fun after the traditionally generous New Year's table with all sorts of goodies and drinks!

It is recommended to include various comic fortune-telling and predictions in the festive entertainment program, but, most importantly, do not forget to choose games and competitions that are suitable for the gathered company; this will largely depend on festive mood all guests.

Offered here New Year's games and competitions for a wide variety of tastes: creative, funny, active and moderately spicy . This funny Games for cheerful people, some of them will come in handy at corporate parties, others are more suitable for home parties and a close group of friends. Think about which ones you need, and play New Year's Eve with fun and pleasure!

1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming.."

This entertainment can be carried out immediately before the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and involve all the guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand so as not to disturb each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not by shouting, but by an unusual New Year’s dance. The point of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's poem with sign language.

Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,

Santa Claus is coming to us!

And we know that Santa Claus

He brings us gifts! Hooray!

All words are replaced with gestures: “coming” - walking in place, “Santa Claus” - placing a hand with outstretched fingers to the chin (representing a beard), the combination “to us” - with a gesture pointing to oneself. To show the word “we know” we put a finger to the forehead, the word “we” is a gesture pointing to all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag over the shoulders, and with the word “gifts” - everyone depicts what they dream of. "Hooray!" - everyone is stomping and clapping

For greater interest, it is better to change words to gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until it disappears the last word, and all that remains are gestures accompanied by cheerful musical accompaniment.

And when they start clapping (meaning “hurray”), Father Frost and the Snow Maiden appear, handing out gifts to the “artists” (if any are provided) or starting their program.

2. New Year's competition "Race for Fortune"

The role of “luck” in this competition will be played by durable, unbreakable Christmas tree decorations, for example, large and colorful balls. Another piece of equipment you will need is children's plastic mini hockey sticks (or Chinese back scratchers), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).

At the start, participants have children’s clubs (or back scratchers) tied to their belts, and the finish line is marked with chairs for each. The chairs will also serve as gates into which players must drive their “ball of luck.” This can only be done with the help of clubs, and in no case should you help with your hands.

Naturally, the one who scores a goal faster wins - he will “drive luck” into his own goal. He is given a good luck talisman ( Christmas decorations), he is declared the “lucky person of the year” - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who just caught luck, so that they too will be lucky.

3. "Be my Christmas tree!"

First, participants in this competition cut out a Christmas tree toy from colored cardboard. Then, using the resulting clothespin or paperclip, they must hang the “created miracle” on the Christmas tree, but... blindfolded. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having been “deprived” of their sight, are spun around their axis and then asked to walk to the Christmas tree. In this case, the Christmas tree for everyone will be the first thing they bump into - that’s where they should hang their toy.

Usually, rarely does anyone get to a real Christmas tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the best one and can even hang his work on it.

4. Competition for New Year's holiday"The most resourceful Snow Maiden."

To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). The girls are blindfolded, and about ten Christmas tree decorations are hidden in the clothes of the men. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, in a bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel, and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything breakable, piercing or cutting in this game.

The task of the “Snow Maiden” girls is to discover everything hidden on their partner’s body. Naturally, the girl who discovers the most toys in the allotted period of time wins and receives the title “The Most Resourceful Snow Maiden”.

5. New Year's greetings for the boss.

This is a party competition. The presenter will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The presenter asks such an innocent question: which animal, bird or flower (if the boss is a lady) does each of you associate your boss with?

Then everyone comes out, names their association and depicts it, on the command freeze - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything is repeated - a whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees have decided not to waste time on trifles and give the boss an instant painting by Repin “We Didn’t Expect” or a painting by an unknown author “The Morning After the Corporate Party.”

Perhaps it will be more fun if we limit the associations only to the animal world and then imagine it as a painting by an unknown author, “Animals at a Banquet.”

Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the “native” authorities will melt from the attention shown to him personally.

6. “Naughty” signs.

At the beginning of the drawing, six players are shown six signs depicting a green Christmas tree, a bottle of champagne, a roll of toilet paper, a chair, and packaging. New Year's napkins and a beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit with their backs to the hall, and it is announced to them that one of the shown signs is attached to their chairs in random order, they make a guess at random which one and, in accordance with their guess, answer the questions:

• What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into a home?
• What do you think guests do when they pick you up?
• How often does the owner use you?
• Where do you go after use?
• What can replace you if you really need it?
• What material do you think they are made of?

There are no losers or winners in this prank game, but everyone deserves applause.

7. Game moment "Road to the New Year"

(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)

The text is read by the Presenter. The guests line up and step at the appropriate moment.

Leading. The road to the New Year awaits you,
And he will walk along it all year,
Whoever takes what they need.
We're heading out in droves for the New Year...
Did you take everything with you on the journey?
Since health has been taken,
Take a wider step forward!
Are we in the mood?
Let's take a step together!
We take on problems... Well, alas...
You must not step forward!
And who decided to take it anyway?
You'll have to return it back!
We'll grab the money, because they
We must influence our lives.
And how many pockets can you count?
You will walk so many steps!
Who's behind? Friends will help you
Have...another pocket.

Those who lag behind are pinned an additional pocket.

You also need to take hope,

It's somehow more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We can’t live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you, children, have?
According to their number, you take steps faster.
Who will take friendship with them on the road?
He boldly takes a whole step forward.
And who decided to take the blues?
I ask you to step back!
And happiness won't hurt us.
Let it accompany everyone,
And it will enter every home...
Let's take it one step further!
Now turn to each other
And hug tight!
Let's celebrate the New Year together
And walk along his path
Forward! Against adversity!
Happy New Year to everyone!

The leader hands the first person in the line a bottle of champagne.

Feel free to take a bottle of champagne,
Treat each other to champagne now.
May your path be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!

8. “Live” chairs.

In this game, Santa Claus himself “drives”. He recruits participants, there must be at least ten of them, and seats them on chairs. The chairs are arranged in a checkerboard pattern with the seats facing each other. First, they place the number of chairs corresponding to the number of participants involved in the game. The players sit down, and Santa Claus begins to walk around to the New Year's song, and the one next to whom he hits the floor with his staff gets up from his place and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.

Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out various pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows on his heels must clearly follow all his “zigzags.” From the outside it turns out to be quite an interesting sight, because this whole procession, following Grandfather, either crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.

However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, they need to run headlong to the chairs and take their place. In fact, while this whole “caterpillar”, led by Grandfather, is “walking,” one chair is removed, so that upon return one of the players will not find a place for himself.

After this trick, the game is repeated again, only for the second time two chairs disappear - then the game continues until the last “survivor” (he gets a prize).

9. New Year's "Crocodile"

Even such a well-known game as “Crocodile” can be presented in a new way at the New Year’s holiday. For example, the theme of guessing pantomimes is to make comic scenes from life and “everyday work”... Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.

To do this, the presenter prepares in advance a lot of paper cards with approximately the following content about Santa Claus: “Santa Claus fell asleep after children's matinee in a bag of gifts”, “Santa Claus grabbed a surplus and woke up in bed with the Snow Woman”, “Children stole Santa Claus’s beard”, “Santa Claus received a telegram asking the Moscow Zoo to give him a deer”, “Santa Claus ate too much ice cream”, “Santa Claus gave the Snow Maiden underwear.”

About the Snow Maiden something like this: “The Snow Maiden will cheat on Father Frost with the Snowman”, “The Snow Maiden worked at a matinee in a sex shop”, “The Snow Maiden gave birth to twins to Father Frost”, “The Snow Maiden found Father Frost in bed with Snow Queen"," "The Snow Maiden was paid $1,000 for a striptease," "After the holidays, the Snow Maiden gained 6 kg," etc.

Select tasks for a specific company; of course, they should be different for an adult party and for a family holiday.

The rules can be changed a little, for example, divide the participants into two teams, each one draws a card for themselves. Then, one by one, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what is written in pantomime style, and the opposing team guesses. You can limit the time, and at the end of the game you can count which team guessed more, or you can not do this at all, because the main thing is general fun.
