How to entertain a company of guests of different ages. New Year games at the table

A magical atmosphere reigns around: the city is decorated with twinkling garlands, people are increasingly thinking about what to give to their loved ones, and guess what to get as a gift, make up a menu for the New Year's table, choose outfits. Everyone wants to spend the main night of the year in an interesting, joyful and fabulous way. However, despite all the efforts, most often the holiday takes place according to the standard scenario. A feast, a speech by the President, a feast, a Blue Light, a feast ... At best, a break is made for a walk to the nearest city Christmas tree. Particularly desperate and energetic on New Year's Eve go downhill and, I must say, have a lot of fun.

But what to do if the snow never fell - is it really possible to spend the whole evening tasting salads to the fervent singing of Russian pop stars? No, this time will be different! And our ideas with table entertainment will guarantee a great mood and fun for you and your guests.

Beginning of the evening

First of all, you need to start with creating an atmosphere. Do not skimp on, let garlands of colorful lights sparkle everywhere, and the main highlight of the evening will be a tall and fluffy Christmas tree with beautifully wrapped gifts under it. It's great if you already at the meeting give the guests original New Year's cheerful caps, hats, ears and sparkling sparklers.

But now you sat down at the table in anticipation of the President's congratulatory speech and the chiming clock. What is everyone looking forward to in the coming year? Of course! And you can help them a little. Give the guests a small piece of paper and a pen and invite them to write their wishes, and burn the leaves to the chiming clock (make sure there are candles on the table), dissolve the ashes in champagne and drink on New Year's Eve. Such a simple ritual will immediately set the guests on a holiday.

Invite guests to start dinner with fortune cookies. These are original envelopes made of thin dough, inside of which there are notes with good wishes. Their recipe is easy to find on the Internet, and they are prepared quickly and easily. And how pleasant it will be for guests to read in the first minute of the year a wonderful wish or a kind of “prophecy” that this year everything will definitely be “excellent”! Just don't limit yourself to standard wishes like "happiness, health and success in your personal life" - come up with an original and unique wish or "prophecy" for each guest.

Holiday in full swing

Here are all the dishes tasted, and it's time for entertainment and fun. New Year is perhaps the only holiday when you can make some noise at night and not hear reproach from your neighbors. Of course, there are rare exceptions, but we hope you are lucky. So it's time for the favorite fun of many - karaoke. Pick up CDs with well-known songs in advance - perhaps from cartoons and films. You can also choose a repertoire from New Year's songs or folk songs. You can arrange a competition for the best, and most importantly - the most creative performance of the song to present a prize.

Want less noisy entertainment? Please! Arrange a tongue twister contest, and choose tongue twisters unknown or with a modified text, for example: “Karl stole dollars from Clara, and Clara stole a quarterly report from Karl.” I think it’s not difficult to guess how funny the tongue twisters will sound and what kind of laughter it will cause the guests!

All adults sometimes dream of feeling like carefree children, so we will offer that everyone will definitely like:

1. "Magic box". For this game, each of the guests must write a task on a piece of paper that any of the participants can easily complete - for example, tell a joke. Then the papers are put in a box, mixed, and the guests, without looking, draw out their tasks, and then they perform them. For the most original performance and artistry - a prize!

2. Fanta. Another game from my childhood. The principle is similar to the Magic Box. Each guest gives the host a "fant", it can be a hairpin, a handkerchief, a bracelet, or at least a spoon. One person turns his back to the others, and the leader behind him shows forfeits and asks: “What should this phantom do?”. He gives everyone, including himself (since his phantom is also shown), tasks. After that, all of them must be completed.

3. "Mafia". It is difficult to forget about the game, which is so popular today among both young people and adults. To do this, give the guests one card at a time, and the red suit should be 3-4 times more than black, let there be one ace of diamonds among the cards - this is the sheriff's card. Dark suit - mafia, red - civilians. The game begins with the phrase: “The city falls asleep. The mafia is waking up. Further, while everyone is sitting with their eyes closed, the mafia looks at each other, chooses a victim. When everyone opens their eyes, everyone is faced with the task of arguing and proving to figure out the mafia until they "kill" all the civilians.

4. "Crocodile". Want to stretch? Then Crocodile is for you! The essence of the game is that one person thinks of a word and depicts a hidden object or shows it with gestures without uttering a word or a sound, the rest must guess what it is about. After that, the guesser takes the place of the explainer and begins to depict his word.

5. "Who are you?" This game requires a marker and stickers. On the stickers, the host writes the name of a famous person or character and glues the game participants on their foreheads so that the person himself does not know what he has written. Then everyone has to guess "who" he became. You can ask any questions, but only "yes" and "no" answers are allowed.

Happy celebration!

Not far off is the time when the hot sun will be replaced by severe cold. This means that literally in a few months the question of preparing for the New Year will no longer be so far away. In addition to choosing the appropriate outfit and a list of festive dishes, competitions for the gathering company are an important activity. After all, it is impossible to sit all night at the table, eating various goodies and watching Blue Light. And since most of the various holiday fun has long been known to everyone, it’s worth coming up with some new entertainment for guests for the New Year 2018.

Basic moments

Before the start of New Year's Eve, you should take care of preparing a whole list of elements necessary for its competitive part:

• a huge number of balloons;
• felt boots;
• small souvenirs in honor of the coming Year of the Dog;
• stickers and regular paper sheets;
• sparklers, firecrackers and fireworks;
• sweets, fruits;
• plastic cups;
• markers, felt-tip pens, pens and pencils;
• blanks of tongue twisters, poems, New Year's songs and ditties.

When all the "details" are collected, you can begin a truly unforgettable celebration.

Family fun

The following list of New Year's games is most suitable for holding among relatives and friends.

1. Forest tree or fairy

One participant of the marked competition will have to stand on a chair and try to demonstrate the Christmas tree in their favorite ways. Two more will decorate the New Year's tree, but not with toys familiar to everyone, but with those elements that come to hand. The one whose efforts will look more elegant and beautiful will win the competition.

A small clarification: it is allowed to use any elements of the wardrobe or jewelry of the guests gathered at the table (cufflinks, hairpins, necklaces, ties, scarves, etc.).

1. clockwork caterpillar

The participants of the next competition line up like a train, holding the neighbor's waist. Further, the host of the game begins to tell that in front of the gaze of the audience there is a trained caterpillar trained to carry out any commands. For example, it is not at all difficult for her to dance, raise her paws one by one, and at the command to “sleep” fall to her side, tuck her paws under her and fall asleep under terrible snoring. The turn of the demonstration of skills comes: to the groovy music, the Caterpillar begins to perform what the presenter had previously told about. Competitors should try to demonstrate the announced commands synchronously and as believably as possible. Believe me, laughter from such fun will be worth it.

1. Festive drawing

Two volunteers are needed for the next competition. Their hands are tied and placed near a stand with a blank sheet. Using only the strength of the teeth and the agility of the head, you will have to draw a symbol of the upcoming 2018 - the Dog.

Entertainment for an adult company

There are such types of New Year's contests that cause a proper wave of emotions only after a few "successful" toasts. In a word, it is better to see once.

1. Money box

Initially, all the guests gathered at the table choose a leader. The newly-made festive "master of ceremonies" is looking for some kind of container for himself, preferably opaque, and having let it go in a circle, asks to fill the jar with money - as much as he can. Next, the leader needs to go to another room and calculate the "profitability" of the work done. Guests will have to try to guess how much money is in the piggy bank. The one whose answer was as accurate as possible gets the entire “bank” at his disposal.

1. funny adjectives

On the eve of the holiday, the hostess of the event will need to prepare for the marked competition. On small sheets of cardboard, write the following adjectives:

• stingy;
• loud;
• harmful;
• wonderful;
• unnecessary;
• ardent;
• delicious;
• wet;
• slippery;
• heroic;
• banana;
• drunk.

All papers are placed in some container. At the beginning of the competition, each guest should pull out one of the pieces of paper, and then take turns pronouncing the received word when the host begins to read the next text.

Hello my (stingy) Friends! In that (loud) evening, I'm with my (harmful) granddaughter Snegurochka I send to all of you (wonderful) hello and heartfelt congratulations on the upcoming year of the Dog. 2017 turned out to be for most of you (unnecessary) And (ardent) time, but do not despair - 2018 promises to be more (delicious) And (wet). At this solemn moment, I want to wish you (slippery) health, (heroic) happiness and (banana) gifts. your sincerity, (drunk) Father Frost!

Of course, the text attached here is only a sample. In reality, all adjectives can be placed quite differently. In any case, the final result will thoroughly amuse the whole company.

1. Air prophecy

In such a long-awaited and magical time like New Year's Eve, it's a sin not to tell fortunes in order to find out your own fate. To carry out such a procedure with humor, you should inflate a lot of balloons and put notes with comic omens in them.

1. A young lover with blue eyes and dark skin will appear.
2. A good monetary increase is expected: most likely a rich husband will appear on the horizon.
3. The sign of your constellation is under the influence of Venus, and therefore, throughout 2018, solid love is expected - unrestrained and all-consuming.
4. It's time to pay off all debts. No debts? Then take it, but by the end of the year, be sure to give it back.
5. A trip to warmer climes awaits you. Get ready - this year, potato trains cannot be avoided.

Each of the participants must choose their future for themselves, burst the balloon and read the omen hidden in it.

Active entertainment

In addition to a fun or comical pastime, it would be nice to have some more active games.

1. clockwork cockerel

Only two people take part. Their hands are tied behind their backs, and they are placed facing a chair on which some kind of fruit lies: an apple, a banana or an orange. The task of each participant is to clean the offered food and eat it. Whoever completes the task faster, wins.

1. A cap

Anyone can participate in the next competition. Without the help of hands, all the guests try to pass each other a hat. The one who drops it will complete a more difficult task - put this accessory on the head of his neighbor. The game continues until the hat goes around all those gathered 3 times.

1. Clothespins

Two participants and a certain gentleman can become players. The ladies are blindfolded and asked to erotic music to remove from the man all the clothespins placed on him in advance. It is noteworthy to indicate the total number of products - 13, although there will be only 12 on the participant. Just imagine the expression on the guy's face when 4 female hands will examine his body at once, trying to find a non-existent clothespin.

1. sobriety test

To check how much sobriety the guests of the feast have left, you can ask them to do some quite simple tasks. The first is to lift a matchbox with two matches clutched in your hands and carry it from one edge of the table to the other. The second is to read the tongue twister written on a piece of paper. Be sure to reward the hard-working participants with valuable souvenirs - a glass of good alcohol, so that they do not lag behind the rest of the company.

Entertainment for children

The easiest way is to come up with interesting leisure activities for a tipsy company of “like-minded people”. But what about the smallest guests of the New Year's holiday? After all, they also want to enjoy this magical moment in full. To do this, each hostess should have several similar contests in stock.

1. Guess!

The host begins to pronounce the beginning of well-known expressions or the names of certain personalities, and the children should guess what or who exactly they are talking about:

• Santa Claus is red... nose;
• Koschei … Immortal;
• Baba Yaga, bone ... Leg;
• Nightingale… Rogue;
• Snow… Queen.

It will be even cooler if the participants who guessed the word can portray the encrypted character.

1. Santa Claus and forest beauty

All children hold hands and stand in a circle. Now they need, dancing, to tell what coniferous trees are: Christmas tree, pine, fir, thuja, cedar, yew, juniper.

1. New Year's theater

If the children came to the holiday dressed in carnival costumes, let them try to portray the character in whose appearance they are. Otherwise, each child can sing a New Year's song or tell an interesting thematic rhyme.

Holiday contests for schoolchildren

The older generation of children just love to have fun. Especially if such an activity can be accompanied by eating various sweets.

1. Harvest

All participants are divided into two teams. A chair is placed in front of each, on which there is a plate with various goodies: sweets, tangerines and cookies. Children need to transfer all the sweets from a full plate to an empty one without hands.

1. Felt boots

A pair of large boots is placed under the Christmas tree. Each teenager should run around the Christmas tree 3 times, then put on felt boots and return to their place. The next participant takes the shoes from him, puts them on, and does everything in reverse order. The competition is held until all the children have completed the distance. The team that completes the task faster will win.

1. holiday song

Everyone should remember and write down on a piece of paper the maximum number of songs with a New Year theme, from cartoons or films. The one with the most list of works will receive a valuable prize.

As can be seen from the information provided, before how to entertain guests, you just need to determine their holiday category. Be sure to use fun contests for the upcoming New Year's Eve so that the much-anticipated celebration turns out to be truly unforgettable for everyone.

Every time in December, the question arises - what to do for the new year? All entertainment is best thought out in advance. And you need to start with decoration. The atmosphere is what will help you feel like a little child and will entertain those who come even without an abundance of competitions. Garlands hung along the road, a tree smelling of pine needles, beautifully wrapped gifts - all this will remind you of the occasion of the party.

If the arrival of guests has turned from a holiday into a duty, you can use the classic scenario:

• feast with traditional Olivier salad;
• listening to the president's speech;
• continuation of the feast under the Blue Light;

Sometimes a walk to the nearest city Christmas tree or a snowball fight is added to the evening routine, but more often it is dispensed with.

On New Year's Eve, you want magic, but entertaining guests with a TV is boring. And you won't be able to remember anything. If you want to make this holiday unforgettable and have fun, it is better to arm yourself with the ideas given in the article below. Searching for similar contests online can also help.

Carnival

You can arrange a masquerade or present an elegant cap, a hoop with ears or a hat, which is packed in a tight bag, right on the doorstep. It costs nothing to develop the idea of ​​dressing up and dress the costumes of the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus for the hosts, and invite guests to choose others. Deer, elves, gnomes, forest dwellers, snowmen - this is an incomplete list of outfits. And you don’t need to be limited only to coming in the image, but also to behave like a deer all evening. If you develop a script and attract guests to the performance, you can really arrange a performance.

Entertainment outside the home

Do not forget, the new year comes in winter and if you are lucky with the weather, the holiday easily moves from home to the street. The Christmas tree can be decorated right in the yard. Both adults and children will enjoy playing snowballs, and in adverse weather conditions, weapons can be replaced with lumps made of cotton wool or foil or white balloons. Snowman building turns into a team speed race, with candy as prizes.

indoor celebration

But more often what to do for the new year, the owners decide without leaving the premises. After all, often the weather is not warm, so spending a long time on the street is fraught with a cold.

Fulfillment of desires and predictions

Everyone is waiting for the fulfillment of desires and it is easy to help in recording them. It is enough to prepare small leaves, a lot of pens, invite guests to write down their plans and arrange the burning of this paper to the sound of the clock, dissolving the ashes in champagne. Those who prefer to drink this drink without impurities should put the notes in a beautiful chest or box, close it, and when meeting next year there will be an opportunity to check whether they have come true.

You can start the evening with fortune telling by placing a bowl of fortune cookies at the entrance. The recipe for such a treat can be found on the open spaces of the network, as well as wishes. But it will be more interesting to come up with them on your own, not limited to banal successes in your personal life.

childhood games

Everyone remembers how fun it was to play as a child. So if you entertain others with the help of undeservedly forgotten games and wake up a child in yourself during the festive period.

The competition of tongue twisters and riddles is suitable for those who celebrate the New Year at a corporate party. You can entertain the boss with a song from a cartoon performed in karaoke. For a company of friends from a university or school, it would be better to remember your youth and spend time in a variety of more adult games, the rules of which we will try to recall or retell.

Magic box and forfeits

The owners make a box in advance and stock up on sheets of paper. Each of the guests writes any easily doable task. All notes are put in a box, mixed up and the one who pulled it out performs - tells a joke or sings a song. To make it fun and interesting, you can prepare prizes. In fantas, the principle is the same, only different objects are used instead of notes, and the host leads the game, showing all the spectators one thing and inviting the person with his back to the company to come up with a task.

Mafia

Despite the popularity of this game and its ability to entertain guests not only on New Year's holidays, it will be useful to repeat its rules. We need playing cards that are distributed to guests. It is important to make sure that there are more reds than blacks, and the ace of diamonds - the sheriff - is also necessarily present. A small dark suit denotes the mafia, and the majority denotes civilians. The game begins with the words: “Night has come and the city closes its eyes. The mafia is waking up. The members of this criminal gang look at each other and choose a victim who does not participate in the further game. The task is simple - to calculate the mafia on the evidence, while civilians remain alive. Arguments, discussions and fun are guaranteed.

Crocodile

The favorite entertainment of the actors will allow you to have fun. A person thinks of a word and tries to depict the object only with gestures. The task of the guests is to guess. The winner takes the place of the pointer. The game can be made more difficult by writing concepts in advance and giving them out in random order.

Quest

You can not put gifts under the tree, but arrange a real detective quest. A map is prepared for everyone and key questions are thought up. Each guess brings the person closer to the prize, and the wrong answer confuses even more.

twister

It is not necessary to use a special field. But with its presence, it is easier to spend New Year's Eve fun. You can also assign pairs, a leader, and write notes indicating body parts in two. It is necessary to pull out the pieces of paper one by one and read, and the pairs must combine the indicated parts of the body and not tear them apart. The next step does not cancel the previous one. Win those two guests who were able to resist.

Mummies and pharaohs

Everyone needs to be divided into teams. Each of them is given a roll of toilet paper or New Year's rain and the participants choose the future mummy. Then, on command, the time is set, up to five minutes, and the mummification process takes place. Those who did not have time are eliminated from the competition and become judges. The rest receive the same set:

1. colored paper;
2. paints;
3. markers;
4. snowflakes;
5. glue.

Items are needed to turn a mummy into a pharaoh. In parallel, his story is being invented. 10 minutes are allotted. Judges evaluate each composition and story. The winning team gets a bright impression, and the mummy can entertain others with a victory cry.

Special guest

Conduct scenario:

• A paper snowflake or Christmas tree is placed under one of the plates;
• a diploma is created - an A4 sheet is folded in half and beautifully signed. Be sure to leave a dash for the name, and carefully cut through the signature box.
• The document is decorated in the New Year's style;
• during the feast, guests are asked to look under the plates to see if there is a snowflake;
• whoever finds it becomes the guest of honor.
• His name is written on the diploma and he needs to sign;
• Having unfolded the document, the guest of honor discovers a comic promise inside.
• It is important to formulate it in such a way that it is suitable for implementation regardless of gender.

dress up game

The hosts prepare a box with all kinds of clothing items. A bib, a children's cap, Santa Claus's beard, a kokoshnik, a snow maiden's wig, a nose with a carrot, etc. will do. The main thing is that it should be fun, not offensive.

To the music, the box starts in a circle. When pause is pressed, the guest with the box in their hands draws one item and puts it on. The game continues until the box is empty.

Then the players draw lots - sheets of paper on which the time spent in such a suit is written.

peas

Props:

• stools according to the number of players;
• dry peas.

The game is best played after the end of the feast, when the coordination of movements in the majority will be impaired under the influence of alcohol.

The task of the participants is to quickly lay out the numbers of the new year or the word denoting its symbol with peas on a stool. The one who copes the most quickly and efficiently wins. The winner must be given a prize - a kilogram of building material for the next calculation.

You can't list all the entertainment. You can also use:

• question-answer game;
• a guessing game in the form of rhymes with prizes - hidden objects;
• contests from Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden;
• parodies or the best costume.

And remember - if the guests and hosts have fun, then they will want to spend the next year with the same company. Happy New Year!

Seeing off the old year. There should be toasts here. It is appropriate to remember all the good things that happened this year.

You can name memorable moments in turn (for example, by seniority or in a circle). Anyone who cannot remember is out of the game. The one who remembers the most good things that happened in the past year wins a prize.

This miracle I meet
New Year's Eve for many years
And I know his name
Do you know or not?
(rain)

Lights run along the Christmas tree, -
Well, try it - catch up!
(garland)

In the calendar - the height of winter,
New Year will be soon
We will decorate the Christmas tree at home,
And everyone will find for her

Lots of beads and garlands
And now I will surprise everyone -
And boldly on its branches
I'll grab this thing

that hangs in the spring
On the roof, melting and ringing,
Glittering in the rays. You my friend
I already know, what am I talking about?
(icicle)

There is earthly and airy,
He is very friendly with a round shape,
Well, when the time comes,
Decorate the Christmas tree for the New Year.

Decorates the sky
And on New Year's Eve only
Falls down on the tree

To please everyone with light.
Guess what is it?

On the branches of an elegant Christmas tree,
Softly twisted needles
But in the heat it does not melt at all.

Spread out on the branches of a spruce
Caterpillars are fine

In colorful and different coats

She descended from heaven to our Christmas tree,
And decorated our holiday
Shining fabulously in needles.

The most difficult, the most
What kind of jewelry are they wearing?
Christmas trees and mothers?
(beads)

Meeting of the New Year. Champagne, toasts and congratulations. Under the chiming clock, it is customary to make a wish.

Presentation of gifts. It is not necessary to give gifts just like that, you can make this procedure more intriguing. The gifts were stolen by an evil wizard, but left a note, a clue. All family members get involved in an interesting game and begin an active search for new keys and gifts.

New Year's Eve at home ideas, script and contests: Home New Year's contests can be very different

You can choose them in the "New Year's scenarios" section or come up with your own. Here are more options:

1. Competition “Decorate the Christmas tree”:

I decorated the tree,
I like it -
And, not at all melting,
She hung candy.

I didn't have time to look back...
And my sister ate candy!
Now again
We need to decorate the tree!

Guests are given sweets, threads, scissors. Whoever hangs the most candies on the Christmas tree in a set period of time wins.

2. Competition “Draw a dream”.

Participants are given sheets of paper, brushes, paints and ... blindfolded. After one participant draws his dream blindfolded, the rest must guess what it is :). The one who guesses correctly receives a prize, and the artist - the confidence that his dream will certainly come true this year.

3. Competition "The best toast".

Since “you need to drink less”, one toast can be made the most complete and comprehensive when everyone names their wishes. Or alternately, each calls one word at a time, and the next one continues. For example, “I wish” - “so that” - “everyone” - “got” - “a lot” ... Or write down the beginning of a sentence on a piece of paper, wrap it up, pass it on to a neighbor, and so on. Sometimes there are funny combinations.

4. Competition "Santa Claus on the doorstep."

The competition for speed is well suited for apartments and houses with long corridors, however, winding ones will also be fun. It is necessary to run from the New Year's table to the front door, holding a New Year's candle in each hand so that the flame of none of them goes out. Or holding a “bag of gifts” between your legs - a balloon.

5. Competition "Catch a snowflake".

In this competition, you can stand on a chair and scatter pre-cut paper snowflakes, or you can shoot crackers so that participants catch confetti flying out of them.

6. Competition “Treat the host of the year”

This year we will treat a goat (or a sheep). Crumple white or green sheets of paper into lumps - these will be heads of cabbage. They need to be thrown from a distance into “feeding troughs” - small buckets. In the year of the monkey, colored lumps will depict apples and other fruits, in the year of the dog - bones.

New Year at home ideas, scenario and contests: Theme party

A great way to entertain guests on New Year's Eve is to dedicate the holiday to a specific theme. In this case, the main thing is not to make a mistake with her choice. If among your guests there are young people obsessed with computers and gadgets, then they may be bored at an impromptu medieval ball, and vice versa, connoisseurs of the Middle Ages and knights may not like a steampunk holiday. When choosing a treat, you should also take into account the tastes and preferences of your guests.

The most important thing to think about in the first place is gifts. It is not enough to choose something that every guest will like, it is also desirable to present it in an original way. The simplest and most banal is to put beautifully wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree. If everything was chosen individually, then it is still better to sign each box in order to avoid confusion and unpleasant surprises later.

In contact with

In a series of holidays, the New Year in our country occupies a special place, it is the most beloved family celebration! How to organize it so that it is not only sincere, but also original and fun? Here are a couple of ideas.

1. We arrange at home the New Year's "Christmas tree commotion"

The beautiful Christmas tree is an invariable attribute of the New Year holiday - without it, a Russian person cannot celebrate the New Year. And if you feel sorry for the natural Christmas tree? They chop her poor “under the very root” ... And you don’t want an artificial one. In this case, we propose to arrange a "Christmas tree commotion" in the house - many different "trees" instead of one. And do not break the tradition and enjoy an unusual holiday! What "trees" do you mean?

edible christmas trees. We turn on the fantasy and decorate the festive table with all kinds of "Christmas trees". First, we make a salad "Christmas tree": we form a crown from lettuce leaves, which we decorate with vegetables so that they look like Christmas tree decorations (beads or "snowball" - from sauce drops or from cheese, a star - from bell pepper, etc. ). We replenish the festive feast with a buffet menu in the form of "New Year's toys" (canapes, sandwiches, etc.), decorate the table with stylish "Christmas tree" napkins.

Secondly, we make a "Christmas tree" from all sorts of goodies: fruits, sweets, chocolates. To do this, we buy a base in the form of a cone in flower shops and use skewers to attach all this “yummy” to it, interspersed with real Christmas tree decorations. Then, of course, a Christmas tree-shaped cake - cut out the cakes and decorate the cake (with berries, chocolate and cream) again like a Christmas tree.

"Christmas decorations. We decorate with "Christmas trees" (made of tinsel, colored stickers, beads, garlands and small toys) literally the whole house: walls, doors and windows. The “Christmas tree” on the wall can become the central one, under which we put toy Santa Claus, the Snow Maiden and prepared gifts.

Christmas tree entertainment. We continue the theme of Christmas trees in entertainment. For example, a beauty contest among couples, who is the best (in a limited time!) From ancillary material to decorate their “Christmas tree” (one depicts a Christmas tree, the other decorates it). Then, to Serduchka's song "Christmas trees are rushing around the city" - a general defile. The winner can be determined by "beauty" or by the number of items used to decorate.

new year at home, in a close company, it is also good that everyone can take part in all events and, without any hesitation, show all their talents. Why not arrange a parody contest for the singer Yolka or a wonderful musical - each to sing "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" to different motives and in a different manner: romance, rap, hard rock, etc.?!

With the participation of the "tree" there are many New Year's fairy tales that you can easily play out on your own. You can also stage the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest" or play a small funny New Year's scene , does not require prior preparation and rehearsals.

The holiday under the slogan "Christmas tree commotion" will turn out to be cheerful and sincere, and most importantly, in its credits it will be possible to safely write that "during the organization of the holiday, not a single living Christmas tree was harmed"!
