New Year's games for adults at the table. New Year's competition "Earth Dog". Music plays on the boat

I remembered these games and came up with for our family New Year. Some of them have been tested before, some we will experience for the first time in nine days.

Memories. Each participant recalls and writes down the most important events of the outgoing year. If there are several couples at the holiday, you can compete in which pair will have more matches. In one family, it is simply interesting to compare these lists, who remembered and highlighted what. And if you have a large family (from 6 people) - you can accrue as many points for each event as people remember about it. And determine the winner by the sum.

Secret Santa Claus. You can start playing from the morning of December 31 or even a few days before the New Year. By drawing lots, each participant receives the name of another participant (in case his own name came across, a retake is required). And you need to try to make this person surprises and something pleasant. But so that he does not immediately figure you out. At midnight, you can discuss who noticed what, who guessed who did not. But the main thing in this game is not the result, but the feeling of miracles and celebration, which certainly arises in the process. Therefore, even the three of us can play it (we are going to).

Present. You need to prepare small prizes (sweets, stationery, household items - something funny and insignificant is better) and write their names on the cards. Participants take turns pulling out a card and pantomime showing their item to the rest of the guests. Who guessed it - receives an item as a gift (“it is better to redeem” the cards after the end of the draw). If the participants are of different ages, you can exclude those who have already received prizes from the further draw, or simply give the children a head start in time.

New Year's him. The first participant says: “January 1”. Each next player, in turn, names a new date, following the rule that you can increase the number of the month by one, two or three, or the month by one. That is, the next player can say “January 2”, “January 3”, “January 4”, or “February 1”. The winner is the participant who, on his turn, says: “December 31”.

Board game. It is very easy to collect tasks and gifts in a board game. Here's a game we made a few years ago.

Snowball. A famous game in which children with good memory beat adults. The first participant says: “In Santa Claus’s bag ...” (and names any toy, or maybe something funny). Each next participant must list all the items that other participants named before him and add something of his own. They play until everyone says something (and at the end you can try to draw this wonderful bag) or until everyone is completely confused.

Looking for surprises. There are a lot of little surprises to be prepared. This is not so difficult, because candies, nuts, cookies, stickers, beautiful beads, bells and just good predictions will do. It is much more difficult to wrap each of these prizes separately (it is better to wrap all the prizes in the same paper). After that, the presenter, for example, at the moment when everyone goes outside to set off fireworks, places the bundles in prominent places. Those who will search must be warned that they should not climb into cabinets and drawers, all bundles can be seen simply with their eyes, without moving anything. On a signal, all participants go in search. It is better to leave a few bundles with the leader in case someone is upset that he found few surprises.

In the autumn we played several times in “waving without looking”. It seems to be a good New Year's game - for exchanging small gifts or sweets.

From pre-frozen ice cubes, you can build fortresses, put candles in the center and enjoy the magical spectacle. And if you forgot to freeze the ice, try making a building out of lump sugar.

Lottery plans. Many plans for the New Year and do not know what to do first? Make a numbered list of things you need to do (sort out the rack, sort out clothes), interesting (go to the Paleontological Museum, finish drawing your board game), pleasant (arrange a day of doing nothing). It is better to make a common list of joint tasks for the whole family. But you can make individual lists to include personal projects. And after that, each participant rolls the dice and determines what to do (for everyone or for him personally) in the first week of the new year.

It is very good for the whole family to dream and make plans for the new year.

Memories with numbers. Try to remember all the events of the outgoing year related to numbers and dial these numbers in the amount of 365. For example, you can add up three fallen teeth from your son, second place in a competition from your daughter, 16 birthday gifts for children, 20 thousand awards, 5 wonderful films , 3 favorite books that have appeared, 1 new flower pot on the window, a newborn nephew, 16 wonderful days of traveling ... There are many memories, but it’s not so easy to get the right number (and if it’s simple, try counting 2014).

Snowmen. It seems to me right to prepare the New Year's table with the whole family, with joy and ideas. And at one time I was very inspired by this master class - a great idea for a New Year's breakfast.

Thanks to these games, New Year's Eve in the family circle with children will be interesting and fun.

To prevent young guests from being bored in an adult company, you should consider an event plan for them as well. Games for the New Year for the family can be very different: mobile, calm, intellectual, but this will depend on the age and temperament of those who gather at the festive table. The main thing is to meet the year 2020 with family and close people, and not in a working environment.

In this article:

Entertainment for the little ones

In nature, there have long been New Year's family games for the little ones. They are harmless and cheerful, most importantly, do not forget that these games are for children and adults. Kids should never be left alone, so parents have significant roles in the children's feast.

"Guess the Size"

Everyone is lined up in a semicircle and a leader is chosen who thinks of an inanimate or animate object, and the players show its size.

Eg:

• What elephant? They answer - big and raise their hands up.
• And what is a fly? They answer - small and sit down.
• House - what?
• What about a sandal?
• Balloon - what?
• What about a soccer ball?

After a couple of words (depending on the number of children), the leader should be changed so that everyone tries himself in this role.

"Bunny"

From the parents whose families are present at the festive table, a leader and a person who will be a fox are selected. And the kids will be bunnies. The one who leads says these words:

“Our bunnies are jumping, on a large lawn, stomping with their scissors, clapping their hands.”

At this time, the little ones repeat what they say to them. The author continues:

“Here comes a fox, a cunning little sister. Come on, the bunnies immediately ran across the lawn!

And the fox catches the hares. You can choose a fox from teenagers, if they succeed.

Cloth games

For these entertainments in the family circle, you will need two parents and a four-meter white matter that will perform one role or another.

"Snowdrift"

Men, having stretched the material in length, holding it firmly from 4 ends, raise and lower it, as if shaking it. Everyone gets in line and tries to run under or over the cloth. Anyone who is caught will be wrapped in cloth and tickled. Of course, you should be very careful with tickling, because we are talking about fragile children.

Buran

The host needs to be told that when there is a strong snowstorm in winter, a person can even be torn off the ground and carried away. Two men hold a piece of material at both ends, catch a baby in it and swing it like in a hammock. They enjoy this adventure immensely.

"Volleyball"

Inflate at least ten balloons. Children are divided into teams, if there are few of them, you can invite parents or other family members. Two people stretch the fabric like a volleyball net. We launch balls. The condition is this: the balls must always be in the air, the fall of the ball is a minus point. Children are ready to play this game for at least 20 minutes.

Mobile contests for the New Year holiday

Family workshops

Also for little people you can come up with various creative workshops. For example, it could be a workshop:

• modeling;
• applications;
• little cooks: you can make a salad or pizza together (of course, all products will need to be prepared in advance).
• New Year's toys;
• noise orchestra.
• New Year's poster.

All props must be safe and ready for the arrival of guests at the family celebration.

Finally

Both table family games and outdoor games are prepared in advance. All adults can be involved in the preparation by giving them tasks. Since we are dealing with children, do not forget about the prizes. We should not forget that children overwork in the process of fun and get tired quickly. 40-60 minutes of active action will be enough for them. Then you can feed them and move on to intellectual or creative games for children and adults.

New Year's holiday is the most beloved and expected celebration, which adults and children are looking forward to. On this night, I want not only to please guests and households with delicious and delicious dishes, but also to have an interesting time. Joint leisure will help diversify the competitions for the New Year 2019. Think over the scenario of this event in advance so that all those present have unforgettable impressions and a great mood.

New Year's games with the family

Most traditionally adhere to celebrate the New Year with family and friends. They gather for a festive feast with pleasure, prepare gifts for each other, children learn poetry. New Year's games and entertainment for the family are easy and relaxed. Everyone knows each other, there is no constraint and tension. With relatives, you can arrange a large number of fun that will appeal to adults and children.

Guess the face

For the competition, you will need medium-sized mittens to fit the hands of both an adult and a child. Another necessary attribute is a tight scarf. Everyone can participate in the entertainment without exception. The game is played as follows:
1. A person who wants to guess the face is taken to the center of the room.
2. A scarf is tied over the eyes of the guesser.
3. Cooked mittens are put on the hands.
4. In a different order, family members approach the guesser and substitute their face for him.
5. A blindfolded relative, feeling his face with his hands in mittens, must determine who is in front of him.
6. It is allowed to touch only the face and hair.
7. As soon as the guesser pronounces the correct option, the bandage is removed.
To complicate the competition, those who are guessed can be misled by changing their height or hairstyle.

New Year's Pathfinder

For this competition, cut out snowflakes should be prepared in advance. They will need at least 30 pieces. One of the household is sent to another room while the rest of the family hides snowflakes throughout the room. Places for hide and seek can be very different and unexpected. You can put a snowflake in your pocket, throw it on a chandelier, or hide it under a salad bowl.
When all the snowflakes are hidden, the one who will look for them is called into the room. Relatives should help the search with comments “cold” and “warm”. As soon as the seeker is very close to the hiding place, relatives should start shouting "hotly". This competition is especially loved by children.

Useful!
Take care of the device for shooting. Family photos or videos during fun are great memory material. Lively faces, spontaneous funny pictures will give you unforgettable emotions and memories at every viewing.

family relay races

Relatives gathered at the same table during a feast can take a break without leaving the table. Everyone present should be divided into two teams. You can distribute participants by gender, by children and adults, or by generation. The competition is held as follows:
1. It is necessary to pass the apple sandwiched between the chest and chin to the next team member as quickly as possible. The receiver must also pick it up with his chin.
2. Each family member is given one toothpick, which he must clamp with his lips. The first in the chain is put on a toothpick in a ring. The task is to pass the ring along the chain as quickly as possible with the help of toothpicks clamped in the mouth.
3. The first participants need to quickly whisper a word, which they must just as quickly and quietly convey to the next after the “Start” command. The team that at the end correctly names the word given by the leader wins. Speed ​​and whisper can play a funny joke. The last of the chain can get the most unpredictable option or set of letters at the end.
There are many competitions for children and adults who have gathered to celebrate the New Year. You can play Crocodile, sing songs, make riddles.

New Year's entertainment for kids

For children, New Year's holidays are often held separately. Under the chiming clock, most often the kids are already sleeping or very naughty. Arrange a children's celebration separately. This can be an event in kindergarten or at home. In addition to treats, consider different entertainment. It will be great if one of the relatives will change into Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. Choose the appropriate musical selection from New Year's and children's songs.

round dance

What New Year's Eve is complete without a friendly round dance around the Christmas tree? Put a dressed-up green beauty in the middle of the room and walk around her, singing a famous popular song. It is better to mix children and adults so that the procession is friendly and cheerful.
Who will name more New Year's songs
It is worth preparing a bag with small gifts, sweets or fruits in advance. Children are offered to name as many songs as possible, where winter, New Year, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, snowflakes, snow and gifts are mentioned. Reward the kids with a small prize for the answers.

funny artists

For the competition, you will need two large sheets of paper. You can glue 4 sheets of A4 or regular notebook pages with tape. Children are given one marker of a different color and divided into two teams.
Large leaflets-canvas are hung on the wall. The task is to draw one element for each kid, as he sees the New Year. Each team must draw one picture in total. For example, one child runs up and draws a Christmas tree, the other - snowflakes, the third - Christmas decorations, etc.
There is no winner in this contest. Both teams must receive equal prizes. Prepare in advance for each participant sweet gifts, books or toys. Joint home-made paintings can later be framed and left as a keepsake.

repeaters

A host is invited for the competition. It is better if it is Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden. Children are placed in a semicircle. The task of the game is to touch yourself for that part of the body that the leader says aloud. At the same time, he touches himself for completely different parts of the body. For example, Grandfather Frost says "Ear!", And grabs his nose.
This is a very funny competition that develops children. The leader must alternate between right and wrong actions. It is difficult to identify the winner in this fun, so you can award sweet prizes to all participants.

Surprises from the New Year's bag

The presenter or Santa Claus goes to the center of the room with a bag in which small gifts are hidden. It can be sweets, fruits, small toys, mini-books. Children gathered around must guess riddles. It is not necessary to touch only on the New Year theme, you can ask fascinating questions about fairy-tale heroes and animals. The fastest and most active should be encouraged with a gift. Make sure that no kid is left without a reward.

Useful!
If one of the guys is shy, Santa Claus can pretend to be deaf and approach a separate modest kid to hear the answer.

Table contests

During the celebration of the night of transition to the next year, guests should not only be fed deliciously, but also interestingly entertained. If the room does not allow for active games, table competitions will come to the rescue. They liberate all those gathered, get to know each other better, and allow them to show creativity.

spell the word

The table competition is suitable for both children and adults. The leader at the table calls any letter of the alphabet, and all guests must name words that begin with this letter, which they can show in the room. For example, many objects can be named with the letter C - a table, chairs, napkins, etc. The last one to name the word wins. If you liked the fun, you can complicate the task by naming some less popular letter. For example, B, F or Y.

Secretary and boss

For the game, you will need to make a small text in several copies in advance. All the participants are divided into pairs. One of the participants in the tandem needs to fill his mouth with nuts, bread or fruit so that it is difficult to speak. This is the "boss". He is given a piece of paper. His partner "secretary" will have to write down the words that the boss dictates to him. The winner is the pair whose version is closest to the original. It is forbidden to show the “secretary” what is written on the sheet to the “boss”.

Find your match

In advance, you should prepare stickers on which you need to write the names of famous couples of fictional, fairy-tale or movie characters. For example:
Ruslan and Ludmila;
Romeo and Juliet;
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie;
Galkin and Pugacheva, etc.
Men and women are randomly labeled with names on their foreheads. It is forbidden to tell each other. The task of each, through questions, is to find out whether he is a couple of the respondent. His interlocutor should answer only "yes" or "no". The result is a very fun idea.
New Year in an adult company
A feast in an adult company and at parties for young people is often accompanied by drinking. Cool competitions with alcohol can be organized to stir up guests and make New Year's Eve fun and sociable.

toasts

For fun, only guests, their imagination and good mood are needed. Each person present in turn should make a New Year's toast, after which they should drink and eat. It is important that the gaps between the toasts are not small, otherwise all participants will quickly get drunk. The task of the next is to make a speech without repetition.
Poured, drank, ate
To play, you need two chairs, two bottles of strong drink, two piles, two saucers with a snack cut into slices. All guests are divided into two teams and are located in one part of the room. Chairs, alcohol, dishes and snacks are placed on the opposite side. After the start command:
the first participant must run up to the chair, pour an alcoholic drink into a glass and go back;
the second participant must get to the chair as quickly as possible, drink the contents of the stack and return;
the third participant must quickly arrive at the chair and have a bite;
the fourth participant pours again, and so on.
The winner is the team whose bottle is drunk faster, and the snack is all eaten.

Useful!
You can put a lemon without sugar on a saucer. The company will receive a lot of positive emotions, looking at the faces of those who had the fate of having a bite to eat.

New Year's lotteries
In the company of adults, you can hold comic lotteries. To do this, a variety of small items with shocking and comic descriptions are prepared in advance. For example, a light bulb can be described as an antique crystal chandelier of the 19th century, an ordinary pen as a Louis XIV feather, an ordinary piece of cloth as Philip Kirkorov's pocket. All small prizes must be hidden in a bag or box.
The lottery itself for the New Year is held in the following sequence:
all guests take their numbers from the hat;
the leader calls the number;
reads the description;
gives a funny gift.
The more interesting and grandiloquent the description, the more expectations the guests have and the funnier the result. Comic lotteries can be held both at home and at corporate parties.
New Year's competitions at school
Holidays at school provide a great opportunity for children to express themselves. For schoolchildren, you can announce a competition for the best class decoration, hold a New Year's costume ball, and make performances by artists.

Just sitting at the table on New Year's Eve and eating is boring, and dangerous for the figure. But if you diversify the event with games and competitions for adults, you won’t be bored. Even the most serious uncles and aunts will have fun in earnest!

What do you want?

Warm-up games

The second one makes a cocktail using the drinks that are on the table. Of course, you can add whatever comes to mind. But only what the first saw before "losing sight." Well, now he has to drink a sip - two and name the ingredients. The one who guessed more components (or all) is the winner! Such a spectacle is not only fun, but also makes guests thirsty. Try it.

After a delicious snack, when you still don’t feel like getting up, you can play songs.

Everyone knows how they divide all the participants of the holiday into two halves and each tries to sing the other. And you make it harder. For example, let one begin to sing, and the second continues. Or choose theme songs. Let the people delve into the memory and remember only the winter repertoire. The winner of the competition is the one with the best memory for songs.

The New Year's Show-off game is also well received during this period.

Probably many people know her. One person comes forward and must show some word or phrase, with gestures, body, but silently. The one who guessed - the next one shows. And the previous player gives him a task. The whole trick is to come up with a word or phrase that is difficult to show. Sometimes people agree to portray lines from songs, proverbs, or something else that is closer to the audience. It turns out fun! Even the most serious adults play and have fun!

Outdoor games in the New Year

During the dances, you can arrange a romantic contest called "Titanic".

It takes a few pairs to do it. They are invited to pretend to be the heroes of the film of the same name, who said goodbye on a sinking ship. A piece of sushi for each pair is recommended to be made from a sheet of paper. After the next “round”, the sheet is folded in half. The winner is the one who will show ingenuity and stand on a small piece of land together, managing to imitate dance moves.

Props - apples on a string. They are distributed to adult couples. One (usually a man) must eat the fruit, which his partner holds on a string. She should hold the "treat" at arm's length. It turns out that it hangs down approximately to the waist. And he is invited to keep his hands behind his back and bite as it will. Whoever completes the task first is the “hero of the day!”, Or rather New Year's Eve. It can be agreed that the winner is the one who manages to be the first to bite off the fruit.

He is also a couple. To carry it out, you need toilet paper on a roll for a couple. Give out rolls. Task: one partner must completely wrap the other in a certain time. Who did it, he won.

The most "adult" competitions

But when the audience warmed up, cheered up, you can move on to the "adult" competitions.

For example, "rolling the egg".

For its implementation, pairs of a woman - a man are formed. He is invited to sit on a chair, she is given a chicken egg (boiled). She has to roll the props over her partner's legs under her pants. Whoever did it first and did not break the props, he won!

Magic ball.

It is carried out by the same heterosexual couples. They are given a ball. It is suggested to keep the hands behind the back, and squeeze the props between the bodies. On command, the players must “pop” the balls. Who is the first, well done! For the next group of players, we complicate the task. Let them squeeze the balls with their backs (or whatever is lower) and try to crush the ball! Serious adults like it, even very much!

New Year's Eve Holiday Games 2020

The question-answer game is one of the most fun board games.

Prepare cards of thick paper in advance on which you will write questions and answers. Lay out on the table separately cards with questions, and separately with answers.

One of the guests first takes a card with a question and asks his neighbor. He, in turn, takes a card with an answer and reads it out. Then the next pair of people present do the same, so that everyone can ask a question and give an answer. By clicking on the button, you can download funny questions and answers to them.

Since very hilarious combinations are often obtained, a portion of healthy laughter and fun after each answer is provided to you!
