A mountain feast with jellied meat, salads, tangerines and a wagon chocolates- this is cool. But in addition to traditional pleasures, there are more active and exciting programs for celebrating the New Year.

Well, you must admit that eating "from the belly" and lying on the couch in front of the TV is boring. Moreover, the patron saint of 2017, which is already on the heels, does not like dullness and monotony.

So, how to entertain yourself, your household and guests: the celebration program for the most magical night of the year!

1. Passed by - retired

The contest "with a beard", but still relevant and fun - both for kids and adults who have already managed old year and set about meeting a new one.

We place chairs in the center of the room (1 less than the number of guests) in a circle and backs to the center. Turning on the music is a signal to start: the contestants are actively running in a "round dance" in a circle and, as soon as the music is turned off, they quickly occupy free places... Those who sat by or simply did not have time and were left without a chair will be eliminated. One chair, respectively, is removed from the "round dance". The winner is the one who is the first of the last 2 participants to occupy the remaining chair.

Of course, we prepare the prize in advance. Preferably, with humor (well, it's a holiday after all).

2. Show of funny talents

If there are a lot of guests and the family is big, and every first one is a humorist in it, then you can hold a competition for the funniest congratulations on the Holiday.

For example, a Soviet poster on the theme of "drunkenness fight", soap bubbles or a bag of tangerines.

3. "The taste and color of all markers are different"

This competition is for gourmets. Well, for those who are embarrassed to run with relay mops, sing in karaoke and show the cockerel the funniest of all.

Participants close their eyes with handkerchiefs, and after that, various dishes are offered to taste in turn. The more professional taster will win.

The prize is the obligation to eat all the dishes that the winner has not guessed.

4. Since childhood, I have been friends with rhyme, or poetry everywhere we have honor!

The presenter asks the contestants (everyone participates!) The first line, and everyone has to come up with the other three. The winner is the poet who managed to "laugh" the audience and extend the guests' lives by at least a couple of years (1 minute of laughter, as you know, is equal to an additional 15 minutes of life).

Consolation prize (chupa-chups) - to the participant who managed to find the most original rhymes.

The winner has the opportunity to choose his prize on his own (activated carbon is hidden in one box, 0.5 vodka in the other).

5. Recognize by smell!

This competition is similar to the one described above (for gourmets), the only difference is that the dishes will have to be determined not by taste, but by smell.

That is, the task becomes more difficult! The winner, of course, is the one who guesses the most dishes.

The prize is a large chocolate medal.

6. New Year's toasts

Fun for the whole family. The bottom line is simple: each blindfolded participant pokes his finger at the first letter he comes across in a previously drawn alphabet. Which letter falls out - the first word of the toast will begin with that.

Each next word must begin with the next (in order) letter. That is, if the first word begins with "Z", then the second - with "F", the third - with "I", etc.

7. One small but proud bird ...

And toasts again! Well, where can we go without them on New Year's Eve. This entertainment can shake up even the most modest guests at the table.

The bottom line, again, is simple: the included musical toy (preferably with the nastiest or funniest soundtrack) is passed in a circle from hand to hand right at the table. On whom the music ended, he makes the toast.

You can pass the baton toy a myriad of times, but make sure that the guests do not get bored - it is recommended to change the entertainment on time (for example, bring "hot", open champagne or say the classic "We haven't burned Bengali yet! We urgently go to the balcony!") ...

8. Dressing warmer!

Competition for guests not inhibited by shyness.

4 participants are required, which are divided into 2 pairs. Each pair (in which one is a fashion designer, and the other is a mannequin) is given a bag with a wide variety of clothes, including men and women, childrens, retro, boas, hats, etc.

After that, the designers are blindfolded - they will create by touch. Moreover, the task of every fashion designer is to put on his mannequin everything that is in the bag. The winner is the couple who managed to empty the sack faster than the others.

The prize is a glass of champagne. To the losers - a sandwich with caviar.

9. Karaoke

Without songs in the New Year - nowhere! Naturally, we collect the most fashionable and funny songs in the playlist.

Participants are selected through a "trick" with matches (among whole matches - one shortened one). Everyone participates, including those who have been stepped on both ears by the bear and not only.

Winners are all!

Prizes are required (you can time the presentation of gifts just in time for this competition).

10. Herringbone, burn!

Competition of artists. We take out a previously prepared "make-up" (one that can be washed off without problems), a box with additional "inventory" (clothes, various items from the mezzanine, tinsel, rain, toilet paper, sausage, etc.) and divide the participants into pairs "model-artist".

Artists within 5 (or 10) minutes must create the brightest and most beautiful image on their models. Namely, the Christmas tree.

The couple with the most beautiful and original Christmas tree receives two fly swatter (or dumbbells) tied with bows.

11. Raise the degree of good mood!

We pack small presents in advance (hairpins, mini-shower gels, chocolate medals, key chains, scarves, etc. - for which there are enough funds) so that it is difficult to determine by touch what is hidden under the layer of gift paper.

For example, a hair clip can be wrapped in a couple of napkins and only then wrapped in gift paper.

Each guest puts his hand into the bag and picks a present for himself by touch.

12. Surprises on a string

Again, we hide small presents in identical boxes, which, in turn, we hang at different heights, tying them to a stretched rope.

Each participant is blindfolded, after which he "blindly" must cut the prize for himself with scissors on his own.

13. "We wish you happiness ..."

It is better to carry out this "action" in advance - even at the end of the old year. We take a stack of magazines, scissors, glue and several sheets of A5 cardboard - one for each participant.

We leave all the wealth in the kitchen, where each guest can complete the task without prying eyes - that is, on the sly. And the task is simple - to create an anonymous wish on cardboard from the bottom of my heart, cutting out pictures and letters from magazines (a kind of collage from the bottom of my heart and with humor). You can add a good "prediction" to your wishes.

Each collage is sealed in a white envelope without inscriptions and hides in a common basket under the Christmas tree.

After the New Year, the envelopes should be mixed together and distributed to the guests.

14. The most delicious patron of the year!

Practically - a show of culinary talents.

The task for the participants is to create the most beautiful - and, most importantly, the most delicious - rooster out of the available products.

15. What to take with you in the New Year?

Each participant, using the "typing" method (putting his hand into a bag of notes), chooses a letter for himself (do not use too much compound letters like "Y" or "Yo"). It is with this letter that all words in the list of things (phenomena, events, etc.) that should be taken with you in the coming year should begin.

16. The Chinese Among Us

The competition is fun and suitable for all participants without exception.

It is better to immediately divide all the guests into pairs (preferably opposite each other), and signal the "start" command for all at once. The essence of the competition: eat green pea(corn, berries, etc.) with Chinese chopsticks in 1 minute.

The winners are those participants who have eaten more peas than their rivals.

Prizes - a can of peas!

17. Sniper of the Year!

What exactly you will use in this competition depends on your capabilities and imagination.

You can throw rings at the neck of a bottle of champagne, throw darts at a drawn target, or shoot a child's crossbow at empty plastic bottles- it does not matter. The main thing is to do it as a team, in turn.

The prize goes to the team that collects the most points (one for all or individually for each.

There are a lot of entertainments and contests for New Year's fun. Human fantasy, as they say, has no limits, and the fantasy of a person who has already begun to celebrate the New Year - and even more so.

Therefore, you have cards in hand, Yandex to help you, and wonderful miracles next year!

Site site thanks you for your attention to the article! We will be very pleased if you share your feedback and tips in the comments below.


How fun it is to spend new Year's Eve with your family! It's great when everyone is at home and rejoicing together. But often this joy is not long: the news ends, anecdotes and funny stories are not remembered and everyone starts to simply look at the clock. It doesn't have to be this way, so we prepared funny contests for the new year 2017 for a family that will be great at home. Watch contests and play with the whole family!

Competition - Hunger Games!
At the very beginning of the evening, all the guests are hungry. They are ready to eat whatever is on the table. But we have to wait a little longer.
And to make it more fun to wait, we will spend a little game- The Hunger Games! The essence of the game is to take food of a certain color from the table faster than others. The presenter speaks or shows the color, and the guests should take food of that color on their fork.
If you do not want to spoil the table setting at the beginning of the feast, then you can not take food. And just name a salad or something edible, where there is a product of the desired color. And already when everyone has played enough, then you can start eating with a good appetite.

Competition - this is KU-KA-Kino!
And this is a competition for knowledge of cinema and TV series. You are showing a video where one freeze frame appears first. In this freeze frame, all the faces of the characters are hidden under the masks of a rooster and chickens. Guests make a guess and name the movie or TV show. And then the second freeze frame is turned on, where the actors are without masks. And everyone can see what kind of film it is. Whoever guesses the most is the winner!

Competition - dancing in the style of animals!
Have you ever seen animals dance? If not, then it's not scary, you yourself will show it! Or rather, your guests will show you, who will amuse you and have fun themselves!
For the competition, you need animal cards. We put all the cards in a bag. Each guest in turn takes out one card and looks at it. You cannot show it to others! Then he goes to the center and begins to dance, as this animal can dance. And other guests guess what kind of animal dances they are! The one who guessed it, draws the card next.

Competition - such different cocks!
And in this competition you will have to show different roosters. Again, you need cards, but they will say which rooster to show you.
For example:
- the rooster is frozen.
- a rooster courting a hen.
- the rooster thinks about life.
- the rooster saw the grill chickens spinning on the spit.

Competition - will we sing, cockerel?
Do you want to sing? Let's! And we will sing New Year's songs. Although how to sing? Crow!
Again, we need cards. On which the names of the songs will be written. For example, a song - a Christmas tree was born in the forest. Whoever took out this card, he crows a song, its motive. And the rest of the guests, realizing what kind of song, I begin to sing along, that is, to humor. The result is a wonderful choir.

Hurray - the new 2017 is coming! everyone has already prepared gifts, dressed up a Christmas tree and are waiting. Waiting for the new year is the best thing there is on this New Year's Eve. And to make the waiting more interesting, you can play funny and new contests for the new year 2017. It's not at all difficult for children to come up with contests that they will like. After all, children usually play everything that adults offer them. We already have ideas for children's contests, and we are happy to share them with you. And so, record and play.

Competition - palm or rooster?
This competition is for children who like to fantasize and love to paint. The competition is held in two stages, and each of them is interesting. First, children should outline their palms on paper. For example, like this:

Then having a drawing of his palm. Children should draw a cockerel1 yes, make a cockerel out of the palm of your hand! Do you think it's difficult? Take a look. it turns out like this:

See, everything is simple and beautiful. As we already wrote, the main thing here is to turn on the fantasy and then everything will work out.

Competition - oh, frost, frost!
New Year is winter. And winter is frost! Let's play a little frosty game?
All children stand in one line. The presenter says how many degrees of frost, and the children make certain movements for each degree.
Minus ten - children rub hand in hand.
Minus twenty - children shift their legs.
Minus thirty - children jump.
Minus forty - the children are hiding in the house.
The facilitator must confuse the children so that they show the wrong movements. For example, first try and say everything to degrees in order. And then alternate: minus ten, and immediately minus forty! Whoever of the children made the wrong move is eliminated. And the winner is the one who did everything right and did not freeze.

Competition - tell the Snow Maiden, where was she?
The next competition based on the song from the cartoon "Well, you wait"! remember, there the wolf and the hare sang a song with lines - tell the Snow Maiden, where was she? You need this song and this particular piece. And you also need a Snow Maiden who will show the actions.
The song turns on, and the Snow Maiden shows the actions where she was. And the children must then guess where the Snow Maiden was. For example, the Snow Maiden shows that she was swimming. Or that she was sleeping. Or what decorated the tree and so on. Who of the children guesses the most, he gets a prize.

Competition - trompe l'oeil puzzles for children
Children like this competition very much. And it's easy to play it - you guess the trick riddles, and the children guess. And since they are tricks, the first answers are very funny and out of topic. And who will be more attentive, he will guess and get a prize.

New Year's contests can be safely “diluted” with outdoor games. Here you can find games for entertainment, both for an adult company and for a family. Good, fun and unforgettable New Year's Eve! Happy New Year 2019!

Space New Year competition "Lunokhod"

The best outdoor game for adults who are not entirely sober. Everyone stands in a circle, the first one is selected according to the counting-out, and inside the circle he crouches and says seriously: “I am Lunokhod 1”. Whoever laughed next - squats in a circle and walks, seriously saying: “I am Lunokhod 2”. Etc…

Merry New Year's competition "Who is longer"

Two teams are formed and each must lay out a chain of clothes, taking off whatever it pleases. The one with the longer chain, that team won. If the game is not held in the company of a house, but for example on a square or in a club, then first two participants are selected, and when they do not have enough clothes for the chain (after all, taking off their clothes, it is necessary to remain within the bounds of decency), then the hall is invited to help the participants, and anyone who wants to can continue the chain of the player he likes.

New competition "Who is cooler"

The game is played by men. Eggs are laid on the plate according to the number of participants. The host announces that the players must take turns smashing one egg on their foreheads, but one of them is raw, the rest are boiled, although in fact all the eggs are boiled. The tension builds with each next egg. But it is desirable that there are no more than five participants (they begin to guess that all the eggs are boiled). It turns out very funny.

Competition for the new year "Who is superfluous" "

(From reader Alexander)
Participants sit in a circle, the presenter announces that they are in a balloon that crashes; to avoid a crash, one player must be thrown off the balloon. Participants begin to argue in turn, based on their profession and skills, why it should be left, after which a vote takes place.

(from reader Maria)
The essence of the game: a box is being prepared, which contains either the prize itself or a part of this prize. Only one player is selected, who is offered to choose: a prize or N amount of money (if there is no real money, money from a joke store, i.e. not real money, is perfect for substitutions). And then it starts like on the TV program "Field of Miracles", sitting next to guests, friends, relatives, etc., shouting "... a prize", and the presenter offers to take the money the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The task of the presenter is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but the money has not bothered anyone yet that they need to be taken. The choice of the player can be made in different ways, whether it is a children's rhyme or according to some separate criteria. In order to make it interesting for all guests, so that no one is offended (why they chose this or that player), you can play several prizes like this, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as mentioned earlier, you can not real money).

Competition for the company of adults

Cheerful competition for the family “New Year“ Turnip ”

(This contest is time-tested, great for the New Year, fun is guaranteed!)

The number of participants - according to the number of characters in this famous fairy tale, plus 1 presenter. New actors need to remember their role:
Turnip - alternately hits his knees with his palms, claps his hands, simultaneously says: "Oba!"
Grandfather - rubs his hands: "Tek-s".
The grandmother threatens her grandfather with her fist, says: "I would kill!"
The granddaughter - (for a super-effect, choose a man of impressive size for this role) - twitches her shoulders, says "I'm ready."
A bug - scratches behind the ear, says: "Fleas tortured"
Cat - shakes her hips "And I'm on my own"
Mouse - shakes his head "Got it!"
The presenter reads the classic text "Turnip", and the heroes, having heard the mention of themselves, play their part:
"Grandfather (" Tek-s ") planted a Turnip (" Oba-na "). Turnip has grown ("Oba-na!") Big, big. Grandfather ("Tek-s") began to pull the Turnip ("Oba-na!"). Pulls-pulls, cannot pull. Grandfather ("Tek-s") called Grandma ("I would kill") ... "and so on.
The most fun begins after the words of the presenter "Grandfather for Turnip, Grandma for Grandfather ..." First, conduct a rehearsal, and then directly "performance". Explosions of laughter and great mood provided!

A Christmas tree was born in the forest (musical scene, readers recommend)

We turn on the song "A Christmas tree was born in the forest", just as in "Turnip" to distribute roles to the participants random order chose a role for themselves: "Herringbone", "Frost", etc.) and play this children's song to the music.
It looks very funny when adults get used to a children's song.

"Phrases-congratulations"

The host reminds that New year's night in full swing, and some can hardly remember the last letter of the alphabet. Guests are invited to fill their glasses and make a New Year's toast, but with one condition. Each person present begins a congratulation phrase with the letter A, and then alphabetically.
For example:

New Year 2019 - what to give?

The most sensitive

Only women participate in the competition. Participants face the audience. There is a chair behind each. The facilitator discreetly places a small object on each chair. On command, all the participants sit down and try to determine what kind of object is under them. Watching or using your hands is prohibited. The one who determines first wins. You can guess the number of identical items (caramels, tangerines) put on the chair.

Surprise

The competition is being prepared in advance. We take the most ordinary balloons. We write tasks on pieces of paper. The tasks can be different. We put the notes inside the balloon and inflate. The player bursts any ball without using his hands and receives a task that must be completed!
For example:
1. Play the chimes on New Year's Eve.
2. Get on a chair and inform the whole world that Santa Claus is coming to us.
3. Sing the Song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”.
4. Do rock and roll.
5. Guess the riddle.
6. Eat a few slices of sugar-free lemon.

Crocodile

All participants are divided into two teams. The first team comes up with some clever word, and then speaks it to one of the players on the opposite team. The task of the chosen one is without uttering a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plastic movements to depict the hidden word, so that his team could guess what was conceived. After successful guessing, the teams change roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.

Lung volume

The task of the players is to inflate Balloons in the allotted time without using hands.

Whale

All stand in a circle and join hands. It is desirable that there are no beating, sharp, etc. nearby. items. The host speaks in the ear of each player the names of two animals. And he explains the meaning of the game: when he names an animal, then the person who was told this animal in his ear should sit down sharply, and his neighbors on the right and left, vice versa, when they feel that their neighbor is squatting, should not allow this, supporting the neighbor by the arms ... All this is desirable to do at a fairly fast pace, without giving a break. The joke lies in the fact that the second animal, which the presenter speaks to the players in the ear, is the same for all - “KIT”. And when, a minute or two after the start of the game, the presenter suddenly says: “Whale”, then everyone must inevitably sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor. :-))

Masquerade

Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance (national hats, clothes, underwear, swimwear, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. Balls can be inserted into the bra). The DJ is selected. He turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music began to play, the participants began to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has a bag in his hands, he pulls out one thing and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. As a result, everyone looks very funny.

"What do you like about your neighbor"

Everyone sits in a circle and the presenter says that now everyone should say what he likes about his neighbor on the right. When everyone will tell these intimate details, then the presenter joyfully announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.

New Year's prediction

On a large, beautiful tray, there is a sheet of thick paper beautifully painted like a cake, which consists of small squares - pieces of cake. On inside square - pictures, what awaits the participants:
heart is love,
book - knowledge,
1 kopeck - money,
the key is a new apartment,
the sun is success,
letter - news,
car - buy a car,
a person's face is a new acquaintance,
arrow - goal achievement,
hours - changes in life,
road - trip,
a gift - a surprise,

Everyone present "eats" their piece of the pie and finds out their future. You can replace a fake cake with a real one.

Agility competition!

2 pairs (man and woman) take part, it is necessary to wear men's shirts, and, at the command of the girl, men's gloves, must button up the buttons on the sleeves and on the shirt (the number is the same, 5 each). Whoever copes with the task faster - that pair is the winner! Prize for a couple!

Guess what it was!

The participants of the game are given leaflets with the text of Nekrasov's poem
Once upon a time in the cold winter time,
I went out of the forest; there was a bitter frost.
I look, it rises slowly up the hill
A horse carrying brushwood.
And, walking importantly, in a calm calm,
A little man leads the horse by the bridle
In big boots, in a sheepskin sheepskin coat,
In big mittens ... and with a fingernail himself!
The task of the participants is to read a poem with an intonation inherent in one of the following monologues:
- Declaration of love;
- Commenting on a football match;
- The verdict of the court;
- Affection from the contemplation of a baby;

– Director's notation to the student who broke the window.

New Year's wall newspaper

A newspaper is hung in a conspicuous place on which, any of the guests,
can write what was good and bad in the past year.

New Year is a holiday that children are looking forward to. Every parent dreams of organizing interesting evening for the child, so that the holiday is bright and remembered for a long time. Some people prefer to order a whole performance with the participation of fairytale characters while others independently organize a holiday for their children and their friends. In any case, such an event is not complete without competitions.
