Snowflakes, tangerine, balls, garland

This is a multi-stage game to eliminate participants. So, the first stage is snowflakes. Each participant gets a piece of paper and a pen. At the command "start", the participants start drawing snowflakes on their piece of paper (crossing 4 sticks). Whoever draws the most snowflakes in 1 minute is a good boy, but whoever draws the least is eliminated and does not get to the next stage. The second stage is tangerine. Each participant gets a tangerine of the same size and at the command "start" peels it and eats it. The participant who is the last to complete the task is eliminated. The third stage is balls. At the command "start", the children count the balls on the Christmas tree. Whoever did it first is a smart boy, and whoever takes longer to count the balls than the others is eliminated. And finally, the fourth stage is a garland. Each participant gets 5 paper clips and mittens. At the command "start" everyone puts on their mittens and attaches paper clip to paper clip, making a kind of garland. Whoever completes this task first is the main winner!

Funny mitten

The guests stand in a large circle near the tree, cheerful New Year's music plays, and the mitten with forfeits goes around the circle. The host can turn off the music at any time, trying to do it so that the mitten ends up at least once with each of the guests. Whoever the music stops on takes the forfeit out of the mitten and performs a certain action. For example, dances the hopak or transforms into the president and congratulates his people. Maybe even does the splits or kisses his neighbor. In general, forfeits can be absolutely anything (it all depends on the company).

The participants are divided into several teams, and each team gets a task: to come up with their own country, give it a name and come up with New Year's traditions and customs for its inhabitants. For example, the same Tilimilitryamtiya, where they decorate the Christmas tree in clouds, and there is not Father Frost, but Father Thunder.

Five minutes, five minutes.

As soon as the competition is declared started, the timer starts. Players are not allowed to look at their watches. Now everyone must say "Stop". When he is sure that exactly five minutes have passed. The host records everyone's time and writes it down. As soon as someone stops the time, the timer is reset and the five minutes are counted down again. Each participant can stop the time only once. The winner is the one who stopped the time closest to the required one. If the participants shouted the command at the same time, the participant who was faster is chosen, or preference is given to the older player if they cannot agree.

New Year's figure freeze

For this competition, the host must prepare sheets of paper with the names of any New Year attributes and characters in advance. For example, Snegurochka, Father Frost, icicle, snowflake, bunny, deer, bottle of champagne, and so on. All guests take turns participating in the competition. The first participant comes out and stands facing the other guests. The host stands behind the participant. The participant is not allowed to turn towards the host. The host says: "The snowstorm is agitated once, the snowstorm is agitated twice, the snowstorm is agitated three times, New Year figure freeze in place." And he shows a sheet of paper on which is written, for example, the word "icicle". And the guests at this time must try to depict an icicle and freeze in such a pose so that the participant can understand what or who all the guests are depicting. For each participant, the "blizzard is agitated" five times, that is, each participant must try to guess five New Year figures. Participants who can guess all five "frozen" figures will receive the title of winner.

Don't tell me the truth

Santa Claus's Deputies

Each of the children takes turns naming what he asked Santa Claus for, and the other children must give it to their friend, that is, depict this object with the power of arms, legs and possible objects nearby.

There will be room for children's imagination to run wild here.

Spinner of Fate

All adults love to read horoscopes for the coming New Year. Children are also interested in what awaits them in the new year. Therefore, this game is a great way to give each child faith in themselves, preparing an optimistic and cheerful horoscope or prediction for them. Since a toy such as a spinner is popular now, it means that it will predict fate. We prepare several spinners, depending on the number of guests. A different color is glued to each end, which will be responsible for the prediction. The children take turns spinning the spinner and name the color that stopped on it, that is, which end points to it. The host hands an envelope of the corresponding color to the guest, and in the envelope there is a prediction, for example, red: an exciting journey awaits you, you will perform on the big stage, you will not get a single two, you will solve some mystery and get a new pet.

New Year's movies are my thing

New Year is the time to watch family funny winter comedies and magical stories. So it's high time for children to remember the names of good movies and share them with others. For excitement, you can divide the children into two teams. As a result, each of the participants takes turns naming their favorite New Year's movie. First, a member of the first team, then the second, then the first again - the second, etc. The participant who does not give an answer is eliminated from the game. The team with the most participants left is the winner. If children know very few films, you can give them hints. After all, there are a lot of such films: "Poor Sasha", "The Irony of Fate", "Home Alone" all parts, "Curly Sue" and others. In extreme cases, you can also use the names of cartoons.

New Year's bowling

You will need skittles or plastic bottles, as well as rubber balls. You can divide everyone into teams, or hold an "individual test". Each person's task is to knock down as many "icicles" that have grown from the ground as possible with one blow of a "snow" ball from a certain distance. If the children are older, you can use heavier basketballs, and for preschoolers, regular rubber ones are better suited.

Make a wish

This is a romantic entertainment, for which you will need as many balloons as there are guests at the ball. They say that all dreams come true on New Year's Eve. Each guest is asked to write their most cherished wish on a piece of paper, then these pieces of paper are attached to a string with which the balloon is tied. And then all the guests of the ball go outside or onto the balcony and, at the command of the host, after his fairy-tale spells, release their balloons and secret dreams into the sky. The spectacle is amazing.

Guess who it is?

For this competition, you need to prepare various pictures (3 for each of the subjects). And the children must guess these subjects. For example, the host shows 3 pictures: a spider web, a slipper, a skyscraper. If you think carefully, the child will guess that this is Spider-Man, or, for example, pictures of a beard, a sleigh and gifts, it is clear that this is Santa Claus. The first to guess - raises his hand and answers. For the correct answer, the participant gets a point, and whoever has more points wins.

Snow sculpture in a hurry

Each participant gets a bucket of snow (cotton candy) and, on the command "start", must make any New Year's sculpture as quickly as possible until the cotton candy begins to melt. The best sculptures are chosen by voting with other guests and the children themselves, and their authors receive prizes.

Interview with carnival guests

Children and schoolchildren usually come to the New Year's party in costumes. This is a great opportunity to interview various heroes of the world. The host asks all the carnival guests an interesting question in turn, for example, "Hello, formidable Lion, where did you come from?" or "Greetings, Snowflake. How long did it take you to fly to us and where are you going after winter?" or "Hello, Clubfoot Bear. Did you wake up specially to celebrate the New Year or do you have insomnia?" or "Hello, Bunny. What do you want to get from Grandfather Frost for the New Year: a bag of carrots or a new fur coat, or something else?" The host asks questions, and the children answer. And since children have a developed imagination, the answers will be funny and interesting. The funniest answers, or rather their authors, can be awarded prizes.

New Year is rushing towards us

He can keep the coin with himself. Then, on the command "Start", everyone runs to the designated point, and the participant who has the coin must deliver it to this point, that is, children without coins simply confuse their opponents. But the task of the other team is to catch the one who has the coin, each participant can catch only one supposed saboteur. If the participant manages to deliver the coin, the team is awarded a winning point. Then the opposing team becomes the saboteurs. The game lasts until 5 winning points.

New Year's fairy tale

The host announces the conditions: each participant in turn must show the hero of the fairy tale, which the host himself will read, for example, the first hero to appear in the fairy tale is the Snowman, which means the first participant must show him, the second hero is the Bunny, the second participant shows him, - in general, each participant must carefully follow the course of events in the fairy tale and the appearance of new heroes, one of which can be the participant. The host can choose any fairy tale, the main thing is that it is related to the New Year. The participants stand in a circle, the host reads the fairy tale, the participants in turn show the heroes of the fairy tale, and at the end the most cheerful, active and artistic receive prizes, for example, masks of the heroes they showed.

Snowflakes are scattered on the floor, attached to the walls, hidden in the windows, and so on around the room (and preferably throughout the school - not just on one floor). At the command "start", the teams go looking for snowflakes. The game lasts depending on the number of snowflakes and the scale of their location, for example, if the snowflakes are located throughout the school, the game can last for about 5 minutes. And at the end of the game, the bell rings and the teams return to their starting position. The team that collects more snowflakes will be the winner and will receive a prize, for example, a bucket of ice cream.

Visiting Santa Claus

All children know that it is very cold where Father Frost lives, so when going to visit him, you need to dress warmly. In front of each participant there are pairs of gloves in the same number. At the command "start" the children begin to put on gloves: one pair, then the second, the third. The participant who in a certain time, for example, 3 minutes, can put on more pairs of gloves, wins.

To the Christmas tree

All participants stand in a row (widthwise), they are blindfolded, spun around several times and directed towards the tree. Participants must intuitively reach the tree level. Whoever is closest to the level of the festive attribute (tree) wins.

Tangerines for the New Year

What New Year would be complete without tangerines? In this competition, the kids are divided into teams with the same number of people. Each team member gets a tangerine. The members of each team stand in a separate row, one after the other. At the command "start," the first members put their tangerine on the floor and roll it to their target (to the basket, which is located at the same distance for each team). As soon as the first members roll the tangerine and put it in their basket, the members return to their team and pass the baton to the second members. The team that rolls their tangerines into their basket first is the winner.

What is he like, this Father Frost?

Elimination game. All participants stand in a circle. And, starting with any (which will be considered the first after), the children name one word of praise for Father Frost. So, what is he like, our Father Frost? Kind, magical, cheerful, handsome, wise, sincere, generous, strong, good, bearded, mysterious, unusual, and so on. Let the children use their imagination and tell everyone how they see the kind wizard. And whoever does not name, is eliminated. And several children who remain in the game until the end will receive the title of winners and prizes.

Homemade clock

The clock has been stolen by the evil Baba Yaga and now each team that the kids are divided into has to make a clock (just lay out a dial from improvised means, for example, a circle from a scarf, numbers from candies, coins, matches and everything else that the kids have in their pockets). The most creative team is awarded the title of winner and a prize.

Guess where the gift is

The host or Santa Claus has three bags. Each child approaches the host in turn, and the host puts a gift in one of the three bags and quickly mixes them using the "twist-twist-I want to deceive" method. If the child guesses which bag the gift is hidden in, he takes it, and if he guesses wrong, he receives a consolation prize - a candy.

Snowman-mailer

On the eve of the holiday, the teacher writes congratulatory letters for each student. Puts them in an envelope and signs to whom: full name. Two snowmen-postmen are chosen from among the children, who are given a bag of letters (in the same amount, i.e. equally). At the command "start", the snowmen take the letters out of the bag, read who they are intended for and distribute them. The snowman who completes the task faster and distributes his letters correctly wins.

Step by step to the Christmas tree and back

The children are divided into several teams with the same number of people. The team members stand one after another in separate rows. At the command "start", the first participants take their widest possible step, after which the second participants run around the first and put one foot next to the foot of the first participants and take their widest possible step, after which the third participants run around the second and put one foot next to the foot of the second participants, and take a maximum step with the other foot. In this way, the team must walk to the tree, go around it and return back. The team that can do this faster than the others will be the winner.

Sack Runners

The children are divided into pairs, each pair gets a bag, a leaf, a pencil and scissors. At the command "start" the children must cooperate, draw a snowflake on a leaf, cut it out, climb into the bag together and "jump" to the tree, hang their snowflake on the tree and run to their starting position without the bag. The pair that copes first wins. To make everything fair, the snowflakes on the leaves for the participants can be drawn in advance to be identical.

New Year Messages

The children stand one after the other. The first participant is given a sheet of paper and a pen. The first participant writes any sentence on the New Year theme on the sheet (you can come up with any theme, for example, “New Year's fairy tales” or “New Year and everything connected with it”). Sentences should consist of 3 words, not counting conjunctions and prepositions, for example, “Snegurochka loves ice cream” or “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”. So, the first participant writes a sentence and folds the sheet of paper (according to the size of his line). Then the first participant passes the sheet of paper to the second participant, and he writes his sentence on top of the line of the previous participant and also hides it, folding the sheet of paper. This continues until the last participant. As soon as the last participant has written his sentence, he passes the sheet of paper to the first participant. The first participant “turns” the sheet of paper to the last line, reads the sentence and shows its contents with gestures to the second participant, and the latter must understand or guess what was written in the sentence. As soon as the second participant guesses, he gets a piece of paper, "turns it" one more line (the line that the penultimate participant wrote, i.e. the movement goes one line from the end of the paper) and tries to show it to the third participant. The last participant shows it to the first. All participants will receive prizes in this fun and maybe even funny (it all depends on the imagination and charisma of the participants) game.

Who's in the bag?

The first participant is chosen from among the children. Father Frost with a bag asks the participant to come to the center of the circle (the rest of the children line up in a circle). They turn on the music, the participant visually gets to know everyone, remembering each of the children. About a minute later, the music is turned off, Father Frost quickly blindfolds the participant and chooses anyone from the circle, hiding him in the bag. After this, the participant's eyes are untied. The participant must look around and guess who (describe) Father Frost hid. If you guessed correctly, you get a prize and hand over the post to the next person willing to participate. If you guessed wrong, you fulfill your wish.

New Year's Express

There are stations on each floor of the school. At each station with a corresponding name, you need to complete a certain task, for example, the Poetic Station - tell a poem about winter or New Year (4 lines), the Song Station - sing a song about New Year (4 lines), the Sports Station - each team draws a forfeit: "jump", "sit down", "jump on one left hand" and so on (4 times); the Artistic Station - draw 4 New Year heroes and so on. The children are divided into teams with the same number of participants, about 5 people each. At the command "start", the participants of each team become a train and go to the stations, whoever managed to get there. The team that goes around all the stations faster than the others and completes the tasks best will be the winner.

Team of New Year's heroes

The number of categories of New Year's heroes depends on the number of children (if a separate class is participating - 3-5 categories, if the whole school - 15-20). All participants line up next to each other. Participants turn their backs to the presenter. The presenter and his assistants randomly attach sheets of paper with an inscription to the backs of the participants (the inscription is the category of the New Year's hero, for example, Santa Claus, snowman, bunny, bullfinch, etc. As soon as all the participants have been assigned categories, the presenter gives the command "start", and the children begin to run and "get acquainted". The task of each participant is to understand who he is and find the same heroes among the others. The team that gathers together the fastest will win.

In search of gifts

The children are divided into pairs. In each pair, the participants' legs are tied: the left leg of one participant and the right leg of the second participant. All the rooms on the floor are closed, except for 5, for example, (in a chaotic order). In each of the open rooms, gifts are hidden (not very far away, somewhere in plain sight) - boxes in wrapping paper, and inside a bar, for example, (the number of gifts in each room = the number of participating pairs). All participating pairs stand in the same starting position. At the command "start", the pairs go to search for gifts. The pair that can find the open rooms and gifts in them faster will be the winner.

Little gray bunny

A circle is laid out around the tree using A4 sheets. The sheets are task sheets, for example: show the Nutcracker; think of 3 rhymes for the word "tree"; find a tangerine on the tree (hang the tangerine on the tree in advance); guess the height of the holiday tree (measure it in advance); name 3 words with the same root as the word "snow" and so on. The more task sheets there are, the bigger the circle, and the better. The first participant goes to the starting position (mark it with chalk or a marker) and makes a jump from the starting position, trying to make the longest jump. The task is determined by the sheet they jump on. They complete the task and make the next jump, and the task sheet is replaced with another one. The participant's task is to jump around the tree in the minimum number of jumps and complete all the tasks. After the first participant, the second participant takes the starting position. After all participants, the winner is determined.

Children's home New Year's competitions

Weihnachtsmann from Germany

Fun New Year's competitions for children at home:

New Year's song (for kids)

A circle of chairs is formed, with the seats facing outwards; there should be one less than the number of participants. The children stand in a circle and walk in a circle to the New Year's songs. When the music stops, the children must sit on the chairs. One hero will not have enough chairs, Snegurochka takes him as her assistant. One chair is removed, the competition continues.

The neighbor has it better!

The traditional New Year's contest is nevertheless loved by children, because it allows them to fool around. So, everyone stands around the tree. The host asks: "Do you have ears?" The children answer in chorus: "Yes!" The question again: "Are your ears good?" Children: "Good!" Host: "And your neighbor's?" And the delighted children shout: "Better!" And grab the neighbor on the right and left by the ears. And then the round dance begins. It's fashionable to go through all the parts of the body, and the children will rejoice.

Guess the hero

The children are seated in a circle. The host invites everyone to take turns continuing the name of a fairy-tale character, for example, Red…, Baba… Snow… The one who cannot find the answer is eliminated from the game. The remaining ones continue to complete the task in a circle. Most often, the host in this competition simply runs out of questions, be prepared.

Hare-wolf

A fairly simple competition, the main thing is not to mix up the actions. The children are divided into teams, the participants of which stand in a row. At the command "start", the first participants of the teams jump to the tree like bunnies, and run back on all fours like wolves, pass the baton to the second participants, the second participants do the same. The team in which all the children manage to be hares and wolves will be the winner, that is, the children who finish the relay faster than the rest will win.

New Year's Run

The children are divided into 2 teams with an even number of participants. Then each team is divided into its pairs. Each pair is tied by one leg of the participants, that is, the left leg of one and the right leg of the other. There are gifts (snowflakes, candies) near the holiday tree. And at the command "start" the children begin their New Year's race. The pair runs to the tree, takes the gift and returns to their team, passes the baton to the next pair and stands at the end. The game continues until all the gifts near the tree are collected. And the team that is faster and has collected more gifts wins.

Happy New Year

The children are divided into teams of 11 people, each participant is given a felt-tip pen or marker. For each team, easels with Whatman paper are located at the same distance. Each participant must jump in a bag, like the wolf in the cartoon "Well, Just You Wait!" to the easel and write a letter, so that at the end the phrase "Happy New Year" is formed. So, at the command "start", the first participants jump in the bag to the easel and write the letter "S", then jump back and pass the baton to the second participants, the second write the letter "N", the third - "O" and so on. The team that finishes the relay faster and writes "Happy New Year" wins.

Save the Christmas tree balls

The participants are divided into two teams of the same number of people. Each team has a basket with the same number of balls, which are about to be stolen by an evil wizard, and they need to be saved. All the participants stand in a row: two teams - two rows. The basket with balls is next to the first participant, and next to the last one there is an empty basket, in which the team will put the saved balls. At the word "start", the first participants take one ball and pass it to the second participants, the second - to the third, the third - to the fourth, and so on until the last one. When the last participant puts the ball in the basket, he shouts: "yes", and then the first participant takes the second ball and passes it. The team that saves all the balls faster wins.

Let's collect snowballs

You need to create several teams. Prepare a looooot of white balls - these will be snowballs. Take the largest garbage bags, cut off their lower corners so that your feet can fit through. Now one team member climbs into this huge bag, and the rest, at the command of the leader, collect "snowballs" and put them in the bag. The team that collects the most snowballs wins.

Choosing a Christmas tree

Father Frost invites the children to stand in a circle and asks what kinds of Christmas trees there are. If they are tall, all the children raise their hands up, if they are short, they squat down and lower their hands, if they are wide, they make the circle as big as possible, and for a narrow Christmas tree, they make it narrower. Now Father Frost walks around and “chooses” a Christmas tree. “Oh, how tall!” or “No, this one is a bit narrow!” And the children, having heard the parameters, depict “the Christmas tree that Father Frost saw.” At the same time, Father Frost himself tries to confuse the children by making incorrect movements.

For Santa Claus

Four people participate. The children stand in four different sides of the room. Each will have 2 tangerines in their corner. On the command "Start", everyone runs to any of the opponents, takes 1 tangerine and carries it to theirs. On the command "Stop", the player who has the fewest tangerines tells Santa Claus a poem or performs some task from him, after which he leaves the game and receives a gift from Santa. The game continues with the 3 remaining players according to the same scenario. When there are two players, the one with more tangerines wins, he also tells a poem or performs a task and receives a gift.

Competitions for street festivities

Pictures with New Year's clock

Funny contests for New Year 2025 for the street:

Winter bowling

The competition will be held in two stages, which means. Stage one: making snowballs. At the command "start", each participant starts making snowballs (snow in the palm of the hand, palm on top, pressed and the snowball is ready). The participant who makes more snowballs than the others in 1 minute will receive the first prize. Stage two: team play. The game requires previously made snowballs (divided equally between the two teams). The participants are divided into teams with the same number of players. The participants of the first team stand in a row (sideways to each other) a step away from each other. The second team stands opposite the first at a distance of about 10 meters (it can be more, it can be less). And in the middle (between the teams), the leader sets up an obstacle (a row of plastic bottles). At the command "start", the team members grab snowballs and start fighting. For one knocked down bottle - 1 point, for 1 hit on the opponent - 2 points. The host carefully monitors the game and records the teams' points. The winner will be the team with the most points.

The skis don't move

It is easy to ski on snow. But what to do if the skis do not move? So, the participants stand at the start. Each participant receives two identical boards (pieces of plywood or even crushed plastic bottles will do). At the same distance from all the participants there is a mark that they need to reach. At the command "start", the participants stand on homemade skis and try to get to the mark faster than the others, and then back. For a more fun game, you can change the position to the opposite way (for example, sit with your butt on the skis). The participant who covers the distance on "skis" faster than the others will be the winner.

Winter racing

Sledding is fun and easy, but when you sit. And the conditions of this competition are a little different. Participants are divided into pairs. Each pair is given a sled. There is point A and point B (there is a certain distance between them). So, all pairs are at the same start. At the command of the leader, one member of the pair gets on the sled. The second takes control and carries his partner to point B. The participant on the sled must stand and not fall (you can’t hold on with your hands). At point B, the participants change places and get back to point A. The pair that has covered the distance faster than the others and no one has fallen is the winner.

Snow storm

Guests of the winter party are divided into teams of three participants. Each team chooses the most seasoned one. At the command "start", two participants begin to arrange a snowstorm for the third, trying to completely immerse him in snow. The team in which two participants manage to immerse the third participant in snow to the maximum level (in 1 minute) will be the winner.

On the white-white blanket of January

The most common phrase is "I love you". This is what the contest participants will "write". The participants must position themselves so that everyone can write their own phrase, that is, approximately half a meter vertically from each other. The condition is the same for everyone: one letter in height and width of two traces (two prints). At the command "start", the participants begin to create the inscription. Whoever copes faster than the others will receive a prize.

Snow Angels

A great competition for children. And adults will happily remember their favorite childhood activity in the snow. Just before starting, each participant must come up with one distinctive sign for their "angel", for example, one wing larger than the other or a heart drawn next to the "angel". Participants are located a couple of meters vertically from each other. At the command "start", all participants begin to make snow angels (each with their own distinctive sign). Whoever makes more "angels" in a certain time (about 2 minutes) will be the winner.
