The New Year 2017 is coming - which means it’s time to get ready! People all over the world try to fill the holiday with competitions, games, and gifts. Preparations for the New Year tree are also in full swing in schools. We bring to your attention competitions for the New Year for children of primary and senior school age.

New Year's competition "Hold the snowflake"

From pieces of padding polyester or cotton wool you need to roll fluffy, not very dense snowflakes, such that they would easily flutter in the air from a light breath of air. Two players from each team are selected and given one such snowflake. Players on command throw up a snowflake and blow on it, preventing it from falling. Whoever stays in the air longer wins.

"Catch the Snowball"

All children should be divided into two teams and each should be given one large bag or a wicker basket. Santa Claus gives the command, and the snowman scatters a lot of snowflakes on the children (they are made of pieces of fabric or cotton wool. You can also make them from ordinary paper, strongly crumple it into a ball and decorate it with sparkles, wrap it in rain). Children must collect snowballs in their own basket. At the end, when all the snowflakes have been collected, Santa Claus counts the number of snowflakes for each team. Whoever has more wins.

"New Year's Tantamareski"

This type of organization of free leisure is not new. Even in Soviet times, Whatman paper depicted different characters, and a place was cut out to insert a child's face.

They indulged in tantamares at holidays back in Soviet times

This kind of fun is suitable for a photo shoot or selfie, which is so popular among modern children. Currently you can use Newest technologies and, having created a layout in Corel or Photoshop, print it and get an excellent tantamaresque banner for the New Year. If this is not possible, draw pictures on whatman paper, cardboard, old wallpaper, etc.

If there are a lot of Tantamares, then you can organize a game “Guess your character”. To do this, the child “tryes on” a banner with a cutout for the face and tries to guess who he is. The rules of the game are to ask questions that others can answer only “yes” or “no.”

Using tantamares you can play the game “Guess the Character”

For example, the following questions will help you uncover a character’s secret:

• "this animal?";
• “cartoon character?”;
• “fairy tale hero?”;
• “Is it red (green, blue, white, etc.) in color?”;
• "does he have a hat?" and etc.

So gradually, by asking their friends and receiving monosyllabic answers, the boy or girl must guess who they are portraying. On the eve of the New Year 2017, Tantamaresque can be presented in the form of a Snowman, Father Frost, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, Christmas ball, Rooster.

"Snowball"

A beautifully decorated ball (paper rolled into a ball and decorated with rain) is given to the children, all players stand in a circle. Music plays, and Santa Claus or the presenter counts out loud to five, while the children must pass the lump from hand to hand. As soon as the presenter pronounces the number “five,” the music stops, and the kid in whose hands there is a lump left must either read a rhyme, or dance, or let him guess the riddle (Santa Claus or the presenter makes the riddle).

"There are Christmas trees"

The children stand around the Christmas tree, do not hold hands, and Santa Claus explains the rules. He says the phrase: “There are Christmas trees...” and adds the words: “wide”, “narrow”, “high”, “low”. With the phrase “Christmas trees can be wide,” children should walk in a circle, making it as wide as possible. When Santa Claus says, “Christmas trees can be tall,” children should raise their hands to the top and walk on tiptoe. With the phrase “low Christmas trees” - the children must sit down, with the phrase “narrow Christmas trees” - the children narrow the circle. The step in a circle does not stop. Thus, Santa Claus should confuse the children as much as possible, but not say phrases very quickly. The competition is fun and noisy

Competition “Crumple up the newspaper”

Two participants per team are selected, and a newspaper is laid out in front of them, fully expanded. Santa Claus gives a signal, and participants must try to squeeze the newspaper into a tight ball as quickly as possible, which would fit in one palm.

"Come up with words"

In the “Come up with Words” competition, children will need ingenuity and knowledge

In this competition you will need to show your ingenuity and knowledge. This game is suitable for children of primary and secondary school age.

The goal of the competition is to come up with as many words as possible that begin with the letters of the Cockerel’s cry: “ku”, “ka”, “re” and “ku” again.

For example, the following words can be named for the syllable “ku”: pendant, kudelki, vitriol, turmeric; on “ka” - carriage, pocket, cardboard, Carlson, map; on “re” - repair, craft, record, rib, etc.

The last one to name the correct word wins.

"Crush the ball with your foot"

This competition is held between two players, each is given a small balloon (inflated and tied), the balloons are placed on the floor in front of the players, and the players themselves are tightly blindfolded with a scarf. A command is given, and the players must step on the ball (each on their own) and crush it. The whole joke of this competition is that the balls are secretly removed from the players and they try to crush the non-existent balls.

"Mousetrap"

The children are all designated as mice, all the adults stand in a circle and hold hands. On command, children run and must run inside the circle, while adults lower their hands from time to time, thereby closing the “mousetrap.” Those children who are “caught” also join hands with adults, expanding the circle. Gradually the circle becomes larger, and all the mice fall into the mousetrap.

New Year's competition for high school "Newton's Law"

The children themselves choose a player from each team; the players are given ten peas or small caramels, the kind that would easily fit into the neck of a champagne bottle. On command, the children each stand over their own bottle and, without bending over, try to throw all the peas (caramels) into the neck of the bottle. Champagne bottles can be replaced with three-liter jars, but in any case, bending down to throw candy or peas is prohibited.

"Cock-fights"

This competition will appeal to both boys and girls.

Such competitions are more suitable for boys, but girls are also welcome to feel like cocky cockerels - a symbol of the coming year according to the Eastern calendar.

This fun competition does not require special preparation. To carry it out, you need a small drawn circle in which the fighting of the cockerels will take place. Children stand on one leg, hold the other with their hand and try to push the opponent out of the circle. Instead of a circle, you can use a small carpet to mark boundaries.

"Draw the symbol of the year"

Whoever connects all the dots faster wins

This competition is held in teams. For each team, numbers from one to ten (according to the number of players) are depicted on a piece of paper. By sequentially connecting one number after another, children should see a picture of a Rooster.

Whichever team does this faster and more accurately wins.

This competition can be carried out by two, three, or four people. In this case, each participant must have their own piece of paper with the task.

Competition "Crow"

The Kukareku competition will require musical talent from participants

The essence of the competition is the performance of well-known New Year's songs in the style of a rooster. Instead of all the words in the song there should only be “crow”! You can come up with tasks together, or you can write them on pieces of paper in advance and let each participant in the competition draw out their own version.

The task is not easy... But children who play such a game will have so much fun and positivity! The singing can be accompanied by cock dancing.

Games and entertainment for the New Year

BALL AROUND THE CIRCLE

All participants in this game stand in a circle. Each child is given inflated air balloons. But one participant is not given a ball. The presenter includes some New Year's song or, if you have the ability, musical instrument, plays the melody himself. When the music plays, players pass each ball to their neighbor. When the music stops, the player who ends up without a ball is out of the game. After a player is eliminated, one ball is also taken away. If someone's ball bursts during the game, that participant is also eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who remains last in the game.

LEAF Lump

The participants of the game stand in one row. Everyone is given a landscape sheet, which they will hold by the corner at arm's length. When the leader gives any command to start the game, for example, ringing a bell, or says: “One, two, three - start!”, then each player must crumple his piece of paper into a ball (into a fist) with one hand (without helping the other). At the same time, you cannot lower your hand with the piece of paper. Whoever completes this task raises his hand (with a crumpled piece of paper) above his head.

THREE HEROES

Let's choose the three most daring "cheaters". They need to be given an uninflated balloon. Participants must inflate the balloons until they burst.

The player whose balloon bursts the fastest will win. As a prize you can give a whole and brand new balloon.

COLLECTIVE MASTERPIECE

In this team game Any guest who wants to feel like a real artist can participate. Participants are divided into two or more teams of 3-4 people. Each team is given a sheet of paper, preferably in A1 format, so that there is a large field for artistic activity. And each participant is given a felt-tip pen (or marker). To make it more interesting, each “artist” is blindfolded (with a handkerchief or scarf). The presenter names the topic for drawing, it’s better if it’s something New Year’s (snowman, Father Frost, Snow Maiden), then commands: “One, two, three - start drawing,” and everyone starts drawing at the same time. The team that draws the fastest will win. But in this competition one must also take into account the accuracy of the work performed.

BLIND ARTIST

There may be several participants in this competition. The presenter must take a pre-prepared Whatman paper with two holes cut for the hands. Each participant stands behind a Whatman paper and puts their hands into the slots. Then everyone is given a felt-tip pen (or marker) and a landscape sheet. The presenter says what exactly the participants should draw (preferably something New Year's and not very complicated). The participant must, without seeing what exactly he is drawing, complete the task of the presenter. The winner in this competition is the one who displays the task on a piece of paper more accurately than others (whoever is most similar).

FIREFIGHTERS

This competition develops reactions among the assembled participants. To start this competition, you need to place two chairs with their backs facing each other at a distance of 1 m and hang a jacket on each back of the chair, but only the sleeves of these jackets must first be turned inside out. You should place a rope under the chairs so that its ends “peek out” a little from under the chairs. Contestants stand next to each of their chairs. At the command of the leader (the ringing of a bell or the words: “One, two, three - start!”), both participants must each take “their” jacket, turn out the sleeves, quickly put it on, fasten all the buttons, run around the opponent’s chair, sit on their chair and pull the end of the rope. The winner will be the participant who completes all the proposed actions faster than the other while wearing a correctly put on and buttoned jacket.

BRIDGE FROM CLOTHESPENS

Both individuals and teams can take part in this competition. For this you need to prepare in advance a large number of clothespins. It is better if they are bright and colorful. Participants are given the same number of clothespins.

They begin to build a "bridge" by attaching one clothespin to the tip of another. The winner will be the participant (or team) who builds their multi-colored “bridge” faster than others. If there are too many clothespins, and not enough time is allocated for this competition, then you can limit the competition in time. The host can stop the game at any time by giving some kind of signal to end. This could be a ringing bell, a whistle, or the words: “One, two, three - stop the competition!” In this case, the winner will be the one with the longest “bridge”.

STIRLITZ

This game develops attention and visual memory. All players freeze in some position. Before this, a presenter is selected (from among the small guests), who must remember as best as possible the poses of the participants and what clothes each participant is wearing. After this he is taken out of the room. All participants try to change something in their poses and clothes (five changes in total). The returning leader must return all changes that occurred to the participants to their original state. If he remembers everything correctly, then he is awarded some kind of prize (or his real wish is fulfilled), and the presenter can be replaced and the game repeated. If the presenter could not remember the initial position and clothes of the players, then he needs to lead again.

BACK PAINTING

In this competition, the presenter acts as a judge. All participants are divided into pairs. Pairs perform in turns. The participant draws some figure on his partner’s back (maybe some animal, an object that can be depicted). The rest of the participants do not see the “back painting”. The partner must guess and draw what his “colleague” drew. This must be convincing so that his “pantomime” will be guessed by the other players to whom he showed all this. Every couple does this. The pair that guesses the most figures wins. For each figure guessed, the presenter can give the pair a “snowflake”. In this case, the winner is the pair with the most snowflakes.

ADVANCES

This competition develops reactions in young participants. All participants in this competition stand in a circle, and the presenter (who is selected from the small guests) stands in the center of this circle. When the music sounds, the presenter begins to dance, and the rest of the participants repeat all the movements after him. During the dance, the leader must unexpectedly and imperceptibly step on someone's foot, and the players must dodge in every possible way. If someone did not have time, then he takes the place of the leader, and the game starts again. It can be carried out until all participants are in the role of presenter. If time for the competition is limited, then the game can be played for 5-10 minutes.

REVERSE ARTIST

For this competition, you need to attach a felt-tip pen (marker) vertically at a distance of 1-1.3 m from the floor (a chair with a writing object attached to the back of it with tape will do). A participant who wants to play the role of an “artist” is given a sheet of paper (landscape paper is suitable for these purposes). The newly minted artist begins to move a piece of paper under a felt-tip pen, drawing some kind of design. It could be something New Year’s (it’s best to choose something simpler for the drawing: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, skis). When everyone has played enough, we can hold an exhibition of everyone “ works of art" With a detailed story the author himself about his work.

FULL COWBOY

It is better to make two boys participants in this “cowboy competition”. They should stand opposite each other. Each participant must put one banana in their pocket. At the leader’s signal (this may be a whistle), the “cowboys” must quickly grab their bananas from their pockets, peel them and eat them. The “cowboy” who is the first to handle his “weapon” will win.

EXTRA BALLS

This is very outdoor game. It should be held after “sedentary” and calm competitions. All small guests present are divided into two teams. The leader places them in two lines facing each other and draws a line between them. Pre-prepared inflated balloons are thrown between the players. There should be a large number of balls (20-30 pieces), the more there are, the more interesting the game will be. At the leader’s signal (whistle, bell), each team must try to throw the balls out of their territory and throw them into the enemy’s territory. The game can last 3-5 minutes.

MEMORIES OF INFANCY

This competition is best held after the active one, when the players begin to feel thirsty. All participants in this competition are given glasses with a viscous liquid (this can be jelly, liquid semolina porridge, thick tomato juice) and straws. You can pour the liquid into baby bottles with a nipple. At the leader’s command (these words could be: “You’re a baby, start drinking liquid!”), all participants begin to drink (each from their own container). The winner is the participant who drinks everything faster than the rest. The reward may be a glass of juice (if the participant has not yet drunk).

CAPTURED ARTIST

Anyone who wants to participate in this competition must tie their hands behind their back. The presenter gives him a piece of paper (a sketchbook sheet may well be suitable for such a creation) and a felt-tip pen (marker, pen, colored pencil). The player must hands tied draw some object or animal (preferably something related to the New Year). After the “artist” has finished his “masterpiece,” those around him must guess what he painted. This game can be played as a competition. In this case, there should be several “artists”. Those who guess the “artist’s” idea are given a “snowflake” cut out of paper. Of those who guessed correctly, the winner will be the one who gets large quantity“snowflakes”, from “artists” - who will convey their thoughts more accurately in the drawing.

EAT JELLY WITHOUT REGRETS

For this competition you need to prepare the jelly in advance. Each participant (the number of participants depends on the number of servings of jelly) is given a portion of jelly, blindfolded and given the smallest spoon that you have in your hand. Participants need to eat this jelly faster than others. The winner will be not only the fastest, but also the most accurate. You can make the competition more difficult (depending on the age of the children) by giving them toothpicks instead of spoons.

MATRYOSHKA PARADE

This is a very fun game. All participants must be placed in a circle one after another. Everyone is given a scarf. In this game, each participant must tie a scarf to his neighbor, who has his back to him. At the same time, the “matryoshka” itself should not adjust anything on itself, but at the same time tie its scarf to the “matryoshka” in front. When all participants have completed the task, a parade of all the “matryoshka dolls” is held. You can hold a parallel “matryoshka” beauty contest and award the prize to “The Most Charming”, “The Most Sloppy”, “The Funniest” (that “matryoshka” that will never stop laughing at itself and those around you).

WHOSE PRIZE?

This game is best played last of all games. She will be remembered by all the children for a long time and will become the most beloved. For this game you need to prepare some prizes in advance and wrap them in colored bags. If the bags are made of white paper, then they can be painted with colored markers and decorated with tinsel. These bags should be hung on strings and attached to a long rope.

When the presenter hangs all the bags on a rope, each participant in turn covers their eyes with a scarf (or scarf), is given scissors in their hands and turns around their axis with the words: “I twist and turn - I want to cut off the prize.” At last words The presenter turns the participant to face the prizes, and the participant cuts off the first bag that comes to hand.

Several song-related competitions can be held. Songs are best suited for New Year and winter. “Song” competitions can be held alternately with regular ones. Here are some competitions you can offer using the songs themselves and lines from them.

KEEP YOUR MELODY

Several people can take part in this game, but as many as the number of participants can be observed by the presenter. Each participant chooses a song and begins to sing it out loud. At the same time, he should not pay attention to his neighbor, who, shouting over him, sings “his” song, and should not stray from the motive and words of “his” song. When the leader claps, everyone continues to sing their song mentally. After the presenter claps his hands again, everyone again begins to sing out loud, shouting over their neighbor. The presenter carefully observes that all participants sing the motive and words correctly. The participant who strays from “his” song is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who sings his song to the end without missing a beat. As a prize, he can be offered to sing a verse of his favorite song that he sang, but without any interference.

LOST WORDS

For this game you need to prepare leaves in advance (you can take landscape ones). On each piece of paper you need to write 1-2 lines from some New Year's songs. There should be as many leaves as there are participants in this game.

The presenter lays out the leaves on the floor, lines down. When the game begins, the participants take pieces of paper and read the lines on them. This game is best played with participants who already know how to read. They need to find players with words from the same song. Those participants who find each other faster than others will win.

MIXED-UP SONG

The presenter begins to perform a song (preferably some well-known New Year's song). But the words from one song are sung to the tune of another song (For example: the words from the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest” are sung to the tune of the song “Little Christmas Tree”). The winner is the participant who guesses which song was used as the basis for the performance. The winner can become the host and mix up the next song themselves. It will be more incomprehensible if there are two presenters and they perform the proposed songs in a duet.

GAME “GRANDFATHER CLAUS”

The presenter speaks quatrains, the last line of which is completed by the children with the words “Grandfather Frost.”

The presenter stretches out the first syllables of words to confuse the participants in the game (“mo-lo-o-dets”). The game changes from a slow pace to a fast pace.

Thus, the winners are the participants in the game who reach the leader faster than others.

Then the first participant passes the second sausage, which the penultimate participant attaches by hook to the sausage of the last participant.

Grandfather never melts - Do you believe this?..

It's coming to an end whole year our life. The holiday is approaching. You can already smell the frosty morning, snow, New Year tree and tangerines. We can already hear the bells on the sleigh of Father Frost, who with his granddaughter, Snegurochka, is rushing to visit us with gifts.

And I want to spend this year fun and interesting, because it has brought us so much joy, pleasant and unexpected moments. I especially want to entertain the kids, who, like no one else, are waiting for a New Year's miracle. Some will see Santa Claus for the very first time, while others can’t wait to take part in funny competitions again as soon as possible in order to receive the best gift from grandfather. Let's help the kids and give them an unforgettable holiday with games, competitions and entertainment.

We bring to your attention exciting New Year's games for a group of children and games that are perfect for a holiday with the family.

New Year's games and competitions for children

At home with family and friends, having gathered all the children near the Christmas tree, you can arrange for them very interesting New Year’s games and entertainment:

Competition "New Year in a bag"

Children aged 3 years and older can take part in the game. You can play together, or you can combine several people into 2 teams. The first 2 representatives from the team are given beautiful New Year's bags, and between them a box with New Year's paraphernalia mixed with items that have nothing to do with the New Year is placed on the table.

The players are blindfolded. And thus, they must choose from a box of items those that relate to the new year and put them in their bag. Whoever finishes putting items into the bag the fastest and who has the most New Year's paraphernalia wins.

If a whole team participates in the entertainment, then the bag is passed to each other in turn, and the result of each player is recorded by the leading adult. The team that finishes playing before the other and collects the most correct items is declared the winner and, if possible, receives small souvenirs.

Game for kids “Guess the object”

We gather several kids near the New Year tree. We blindfold one of them and give him a New Year’s “Santa Claus bag” filled with various New Year’s paraphernalia. The child feels any object and describes it in as much detail as possible: small, hard, rough, etc. The rest of the participants try to guess what the presenter is holding in his hands. The kid who manages to recognize the most objects wins a prize.

Fun game "New Year's snowfall"

To play you will need large white and blue buttons and large thick gloves for adults. We scatter the buttons on the floor. Children will need to pull on gloves and try to collect buttons from the floor, putting them in special boxes given to them before the start of the game. The participant who collects the most buttons in a certain number of minutes is declared the winner and receives a prize.

The game requires dexterity and ingenuity. Plus, fun with her is simply guaranteed!

Save the snow.

In this game, 2 children compete in one round. Everyone is given tablespoons and cotton wool snowballs. The children's task is to put the cotton wool snowball on a spoon and make a circle around the tree as quickly as possible, trying not to drop their snowball. The child who manages to complete such a difficult task is declared the winner and awarded.

Outdoor game "Lion's Tail"

This game is better when several people play together. Children should line up in one line, as if playing a fun little train, and grab those in front by the belt. The first baby standing puts on a lion mask, and the one who closes the line puts on a lion's tail (we tie the tail around the waist). The essence of the game is that the “lion’s head” runs away, and the “tail” tries to catch up with it. Babies located between the head and tail should hold on tightly to each other and not come apart. If decoupling occurs, the “tail” and “head” change roles. All participants must act as parts of the lion’s body. The game continues until the children are having fun and are not bored.

Gift hunters.

One of the most favorite games of all children and adults for many years. However, this does not make it lose its love and relevance. At a suitable height (accessible for children), a rope is stretched with small objects (toys) and sweets (sweets and chocolates) suspended on it. The children take turns being blindfolded and given safety scissors. The child needs to cut as many candies and gifts from the rope by touch in 5 minutes. The participant who counted the most cut items won.

A variety of competitions for the New Year can turn the New Year's celebration into an unforgettable holiday that will unite your family and make you experience vivid emotions for a long time.

The puzzle is folding.

Snowball snipers.

For this New Year's game, it is best to organize teams. Prepare snowballs in advance, crumpled from sheets of white paper. Each player takes 2 snowballs. Next, the participants, in turn, must throw them into the basket (the team is given a separate basket, which can be an ordinary bucket located at a distance of approximately 2 m from the participants). The team with the most hits in the basket is declared the winner and receives prizes.

No less fun games with “homemade snowballs” are collected in our article “”. Any of these games will also decorate new year holidays.

Of course, not only younger family members can participate in fun holiday games. New Year's games in the family circle with moms and dads will delight your fidgets much more. Here are some examples of such games and competitions.

New Year's games in the family circle

Funny stuff.

Beforehand, for the game you should prepare pieces of paper with funny questions and answers written on them (equal parts of both). Then mix folded pieces of paper with questions in one beautiful New Year's box, and with answers in another. Participants randomly draw a question and read it aloud to all players, and then draw an answer from another box, which is also read aloud. After such a game, everyone is guaranteed a good mood for the whole day.

Sample list of fun questions:

1. Do you like to gossip?
2. Do you enjoy listening at the door?
3. Do you like swimming in mud?
4. Do you like throwing scraps at passers-by from your balcony?
5. Do you get pleasure from undermining those around you?
6. Do you like to smash dishes when angry?

Sample list of funny answers:

1. Only on Fridays.
2. Only on frosty nights.
3. Only when no one is looking.
4. I always dreamed about this.
5. No, I'm very modest.
6. I only do this when visiting.

Use your imagination and make up your own funny questions and answers. We are confident that you will do even better!

Choir of bunny boys and squirrel girls.

This fun karaoke will always put you in a good mood and liberate any party! To play, you need to prepare several that children can sing too. For example: “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter”, “If only there were no winter”...

The essence of the game is that you need to sing a song in different ways, which are determined by drawing lots. We put folded pieces of paper in a beautiful box, on which it is written how the participant should perform the song. For example:

• as if you were an ensemble of military pensioners;
• as if you are 3-year-old kids in diapers;
• like you're a choir of bunny boys;
• as if you were a choir of military pilots, etc.

Of course, you can add to this list yourself. Participants pull out a piece of paper at random and a cheerful performance and a good mood are guaranteed to everyone.

Merry mousetrap.

The adult in this game is a mousetrap. And the children are cheerful little mice. The adult presenter blindfolds himself, and the children scatter. The task of the mousetrap is to catch the little mice by making hand movements similar to scissors. The caught mouse is sent into a mousetrap - a special chair. The game continues until all the mice are caught.

Funny dream.

The task of this game is to blindfoldedly depict what you want most to get in the new year. All participants are given large sheets of white paper. Best of all, A3 format. And, of course, blindfolds. The dream must be drawn in complete darkness. The best drawing is considered to be one from which one can guess what the person who drew it is dreaming of.

Then these drawings can be signed and packaged in . And next year we will find out whether the artist’s dream has come true.

Frozen snowflakes.

Before the game, you need to cut out several beautiful snowflakes from paper and then put them on the table in front of the competition participants. Players should blow on their snowflakes at the same time. The snowflake that flies farthest from the table wins.

Unusual Christmas tree

Before the game we prepare a beautiful New Year's garland and Christmas decorations, balls, sweets and other items suitable for decorating a Christmas tree. An adult is selected from the company who agrees to become a New Year tree. Players wrap a garland around an adult and then use clothespins to attach toys to the garland. This fun activity will bring pleasure to everyone present, and the decorated “Christmas tree” can be photographed. We guarantee that the resulting photo will lift your spirits and make you smile throughout the whole year.

Who am I?

Before the game, you should prepare medium-sized rectangles of cardboard. On each of them we write any name: a plant, an animal, an invented name... The main thing is that the word is funny and brings a smile. We attach a card with the name to the back of one of the players, who needs to guess his new name based on the leading questions that he asks the participants. His questions are answered briefly: with the words “yes” or “no.” The players keep track of time. The one who guesses his new name faster is declared the winner of the game.

Predatory snowdrift

To play, you need to prepare a sheet in advance and stretch it along the room. The leading adults lower and raise the sheet up and down in waves, while the children run under it or try to jump over it. Anyone who is caught is tickled (carefully) and sent to the reserve. But so much laughter and fun!

At the end of this list, I invite you to watch a video from the “Children’s Holidays” channel about New Year’s games and competitions for children and adults!

We hope you enjoyed our fun games and competitions. We wish you a positive New Year's holiday! Happy New Year!

With love,

Marina Talanina and Lyudmila Potsepun.
