And every year the same:
Peace and tranquility for the whole country,
And children of different heights
Boots, hats and pants
Change once a year - but not less often;
Eat sweets, take care of your stomach;
Play pranks, but not mischief;
Chop cutlets, eat compote;
Go to the cinema, theater and bathhouse;
With that - to fight, but with that - to be friends,
But in general - do the right thing
And go to school every day,
Without demanding a reward for that!

What is a holiday without meetings with friends, joyful adventures, fun games in a big company!

are especially important because they help them feel the atmosphere of this wonderful family celebration, receive those vivid emotions that will be remembered for a long time, perhaps throughout their lives.

Anyone can hold original and simple competitions for children and adults, even if they have no experience in organizing holidays. Don't believe me? Try it yourself!

Warm-up competitions It happens that people gather at the festive table funny company , in which not everyone knows each other, so first you need to somehow unite and tune in joint participation

in games. The presenter suggests conducting comic warm-ups that help everyone get involved in the activity and create a festive atmosphere. And New Year competitions for children

They should definitely start with a warm-up, since not all children are equally active. But after one or two “chants” they are simply unrecognizable!

Warm-up “How will we decorate the Christmas tree?”

A funny “shout” for attention. The presenter tells the audience that he will now begin to offer various items that can be used to decorate the Christmas tree. The guests’ task is to say “yes” if, in their opinion, the item is suitable, “no” if it cannot be hung on the tree:

New Year's serpentine?

Assorted salads?

Loud firecrackers?

Soft pillows?

Are donkeys stubborn?

Are the chairs wooden?

Multi-colored toys?

Pies, pancakes and buns?

Are the lights shiny?

Are the candles real?

Tinsel and “rain”?

And the glass hedgehog?

Santa Claus with a bag of gifts?

And a snowflake in bright sparkles?

Granny slippers?

Mom's pills?

Light flashlights?

Christmas balls?

Bathrobes?

White snow made of cotton wool?

Warm-up “What kind of Christmas tree?”

– We decorated the Christmas tree, it’s beautiful! And I was walking through the forest, I saw different Christmas trees. Have you seen different Christmas trees? Come on, let's check it out!

Next, the presenter explains the rules: the words of Santa Claus about Christmas trees must be confirmed with movements. For example, he says phrases that begin with the words “there are Christmas trees”: “Christmas trees can be tall!” You need to raise your arms up and stretch on your toes. You need to use movements to depict Christmas trees that are “low”, “thin”, “thick”, “wide”, “narrow”, etc.

The point of the competition is that children standing in a circle depict the word that characterizes Christmas trees, and Santa Claus tries to confuse them: saying “low,” he pulls his hands up, etc.

"Letter to Santa Claus"

Of all the competitions for the New Year, children especially like this one. It doesn't take much time, but always evokes a cheerful reaction from the audience.

The conditions are very simple: the host invites the guests to name several adjectives of any kind. Children call: “cheerful”, “scary”, “green”, “lazy”, “empty”, “beautiful”, “straight”, etc.

The presenter writes them down, and then reads the letter to Santa Claus, inserting adjectives invented by the children in the gaps:

"Dear santa claus!

Happy...,...New Year! This year we were...,...,.... They received... grades, listened to... adults. We studied in... circles and... sections. And today we will perform for you... dancing, singing... songs, telling... poems. Come to us as soon as possible with your... granddaughter Snegurochka and open your... bag with... gifts!

"If the snowflake doesn't melt..."

A simple competition that does not require preliminary preparation. “Snowflake” is a small piece of cotton wool. All players are given a “snowflake” and they must try to keep it in the air for as long as possible without touching it with their hands. The winner is the one whose “snowflake” falls to the floor last.

New Year's competitions for children are given to everyone wonderful mood, bring close people together, help you have a good rest and get bright emotions.

He alternately (out of order) calls the words “well done”, “hammer”, “milk”, after which the players perform the following movements: - “well done” - jump in place 1 time; - “hammer” - clap your hands once; - “milk” - they say “meow”. 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. The inattentive remain on their own playing places, and those performing movements in accordance with the words without error take a step forward. Thus, the winners are the participants in the game who reach the leader faster than others.

ASSOCIATIONS

Let the guys take turns listing everything that happens in the New Year: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snow, gifts, Christmas tree, Christmas tree decorations, cake, needles, on the floor, lanterns, etc. The one who runs out of ideas is eliminated from the game, and the most persistent one wins.

The child looks carefully at the tree for a minute (or another set time), and then turns away and lists in as much detail as possible what is hanging on it. The one who remembers the most wins.

GAME "WHO'S GOING FORWARD?"

On the back of two chairs hangs a winter jacket with the sleeves turned out, and on the seats lies a fur hat, a scarf and a pair of mittens. To cheerful music, 2 players turn out the sleeves of their jackets, then put them on, and then put on a hat, scarf and mittens. The prize goes to the one who takes a seat in his chair first and shouts “Happy New Year!”

WHAT CHANGED?

This game requires good visual memory. Participants are given a task one by one: for a minute, look at the toys hanging on one or two branches of the Christmas tree and remember them. Then you need to leave the room - at this time several toys (three or four) will be outweighed: some will be removed, others will be added. Upon entering the room, you need to look at your branches and say what has changed. Depending on age, you can make the tasks more difficult or easier.

GAME "DO NOT MISS"

Children form 2 teams. There are small goals at a certain distance from each team. Near the teams, the presenter places a fancy box with ping-pong balls according to the number of participants. Accompanied by cheerful music, the first players take a ball from the box and roll it from their place, trying to get into the goal, after which they take a place at the end of the team. The second participants enter the game, etc. The team with the most balls in the goal wins.

WHO IS nimbler?

To play you will need two large reels (possibly made yourself), two round sticks will do, as well as a rope 6-8 m long, the middle of which is marked with a ribbon.

Two players take the reels and move away from each other as far as the rope allows. At a signal, each of them begins to quickly rotate the reel in his hands and, winding a rope around it, moves forward. The one who winds the rope to the middle first wins.

GAME "SIGNAL"

The players stand in a circle; the leader is 3-4 steps away from him. He blows one whistle, then two. At one whistle, all participants in the game must quickly raise their right hand up and immediately lower it; You cannot raise your hand after two whistles. The one who makes a mistake takes a step forward and continues to play along with the others. Those who make the fewest mistakes are considered the winners.

"CHRISTMAS TOY"

In front of the two players, the presenter places a prize on a chair, wrapped in bright wrapping paper, and says the following text:
At the New Year's hour, friends, you can't go without attention! Don’t miss the number “three”, - Take the prize, don’t yawn!
“The Christmas tree greeted guests. Five children came first, So as not to get bored on the holiday, They began to count everything on it: Two snowflakes, six firecrackers, Eight gnomes and parsleys, Seven gilded nuts Among the twisted tinsel; We counted ten cones, and then we got tired of counting. Three little girls came running..."
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?”; if one of the players turns out to be more attentive, then the presenter concludes: “Those are attentive ears!”

SNOWBALLS GAME

Two children play. Snowballs made of cotton wool are scattered on the floor. The children are blindfolded and given a basket. At the signal, they begin to collect snowballs. The one who collects the most snowballs wins.

GAME "CABBAGE"

Children form 2 teams. All players are given bunny ears. At a certain distance from the teams, the leader places a fake head of cabbage. Cheerful music sounds, the first players, jumping like bunnies, get to the head of cabbage, remove one leaf and, also jumping, return back. Second players enter the game, etc. The fastest bunnies raise their cabbage leaves up, thereby announcing the team's victory.
