New Year is just around the corner, and the time for widespread corporate events is approaching. And at home, many groups of friends will certainly want to diversify their vacation with games. And now is the time to choose contests for the New Year 2019.

Remember: what is ideal for a small group of vacationers is not at all suitable for a large corporate party. And at home you can afford more than in the same restaurant.

New Year's contests for a home holiday

In small companies, it is worth giving preference to those New Year contests, which involve the inclusion of everyone present so that no one gets bored. And it is not so difficult to take 5-7 people in one competition.

Take care of the prizes in advance. Even an adult wants to get some material proof of his victory. Let it be the most ordinary sweets, tangerines or simple souvenirs with the symbol of the year. At the end of the evening, participants can count who collected the most prizes. It's a lot of fun too.

New Year melody

For this competition, you will need several identical bottles, into which water is poured at different levels. It turns out to be a kind of musical instrument. Bottles are put on the table, and guests are invited to play any New Year's melody on these bottles using an ordinary spoon. The winner is the one who is reputed to have produced the most similar melody.

Joke with a beard

Each person in the company in turn begins to tell some kind of anecdote. If someone from the rest says that he knows this anecdote and really continues it, then the narrator is put on a wadded beard. In the end, the winner is the one with the shortest beard. And the most "bearded" one can be appointed as Santa Claus.

Find a Christmas tree

Another very funny competition for the new year. To do this, you will need to purchase a car fragrance in the form of a tree in advance. They usually have a very strong, specific odor. It is hidden somewhere in the room, and guests must find the item by smell.

Hold the snowflake

In this competition, some cotton wool is required again. It is necessary to make a kind of small and light snowflake. It should be possible to hold it suspended by a stream of air. The snowflake is thrown, and the participants must blow on it from below, not letting it fall. The winner, of course, is the one whose snowflake later falls to the floor.

New Year's gift

This competition can be attended by 3 people at the same time. The gender of the participants does not matter. One of the three is placed in the center of the room. It will be a New Year's gift. The other two are bred on opposite sides of the "present" and blindfolded. One is given ribbons in his hands, he must touch the bows on the gift. The second should also untie them by touch.

Brook

This competition is designed for a rather warm company. A long paper sheet is laid on the floor, but not too wide. A roll of standard wallpaper is ideal. Further, women are offered to overcome the "stream" without getting their feet wet, that is, to walk along its two banks with their legs wide apart. The first time women try to do it with their eyes open, the second time - with their eyes closed.

And when the first of them overcomes the "trickle", the rest should be outside the room. When the woman finishes the test, but has not yet untied her eyes, one of the men present falls on the "trickle".

The woman's eyes are untied. She sees a man and is naturally embarrassed. The next woman is now invited to participate. The first one sees how the competition actually took place, calms down and laughs.

In my pants

This is one of the rare occasions when regular newspaper headlines can be useful. Journalists are now especially eager to compete in originality. Cut out the most unexpected ones and put them in an envelope. Then this envelope goes around. Each participant takes out one heading and says "and in my pants ..." and reads the heading from the pulled out piece of paper.

New Year's contests for a small company in a restaurant

In this case, there are some peculiarities. Funny contests for the new year in a restaurant can be quite mobile, but not too much, so as not to damage the furniture and dishes. Therefore, you should not involve all those present in the contests at once. Better to attract 2-3 people. Contests are also encouraged to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.

Alphabetical greetings

Invite the guests to take turns congratulating the audience and making toasts, not just like that, but alphabetically. The first says a toast in the letter "a", the second - in "b" and so on. The most fun, of course, begins closer to the end of the alphabet, in the region of the letters "y", "s", as well as a hard and soft sign. The winner is the one whose congratulation or toast is the most fun.

The original assumes a competition with a fake, drawn cake, on each piece of which predictions are written or drawn. So, a drawn penny portends wealth; the heart is, of course, love; envelope - news, news, and so on.

You can also hold a competition with a real pie, in every piece of which such a prediction is hidden. Fortune-telling and predictions are invariably successful. People always want to know what the future holds for them. And even if the fortune-telling is comic, it gives a lot of pleasure.

Storyteller

Perfect competition for the new year in a restaurant. Firstly, guests will not have to get up anywhere, and secondly, it is quite fun and interesting. Remind the guests of the plots of several famous fairy tales, offer to choose one for yourself and retell, but slightly change the genre. It can be a detective story, a thriller, a love story. If you wish, you can spend several rounds, changing fairy tales and changing genres. In each round, the author of the most interesting version is chosen as the winner.

Two oxen

Two participants are selected. They are placed with their backs to each other, a rope tied in a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a team. A chair or table with a prize is placed in front of each participant at a distance of several meters. The task of the participants is to drag the opponent and be the first to grab their prize.

Jelly

For this cool competition for the New Year, you will need some delicate product: jelly, jellied meat, soufflé. The task of the participants is to eat their portion as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks. This competition is good in that it does not involve getting up from the table, there are enough oars for both participants and spectators.

Cooks

Another "sit-down" competition. Each participant is given a pen and a piece of paper, where he must write down all the New Year's dishes, for example, with the letter "n". When the lists are ready, the participants read them one by one. The one with the longest list wins.

You can slightly modernize this competition. Participants do not make preliminary lists, but simply name their dishes one by one. You can't repeat yourself. Those who find it difficult to answer are eliminated. The last survivor wins. This competition awakens the appetite very well and is convenient to take place, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.

New Year's contests for corporate events

Corporate events usually involve the presence in one place of a large number of unfamiliar people. It is here that workers from different departments meet for the first time, who in ordinary life do not contact each other in any way, or even quarrel at all. Therefore, contests for New Year's corporate events should unobtrusively bring people together. Here, team entertainment, pair competitions and the like are used.

Chief Accountant

Various banknotes in various currencies are drawn randomly on the poster. Banknotes must be recognizable. The task of the participants is to count the bills from the first to the last. Moreover, all currencies must be counted simultaneously: 1 ruble, 1 dollar, 1 euro, 2 euros, 2 dollars, 2 rubles. The winner is the one who never fails.

Diver

Since a separate room is most often rented for corporate events, you can usually afford mobile contests here. For the competition "Diver" you will need two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in pairs, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking into it from the back, try to cover the distance as quickly as possible. It is quite difficult, so you should not make the distance too long, and even more difficult, with a lot of turns and obstacles.

Baba Yaga

The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants put one foot in the bucket and hold it with their hand. In the second hand they are given a mop. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. It remains only to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.

Discoverer

Team contests are also good for New Year's corporate events. For example, the following. The participants are divided into 2 teams and each of them is given a ball. First, the teams open a new planet, that is, they inflate the resulting balloon. And then they take markers in their hands and begin to populate this planet. That is, draw the inhabitants on the ball. When the allotted time ends, the leader counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.

Broken Phone and Associations

Do not forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a damaged phone. Participants are seated in a circle or a chain, depending on the possibilities of the hall. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers a hidden word in his neighbor's ear. It is usually advised to do this quickly and illegibly. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, there are many people in the long chain who hear it wrong. Whispering does not contribute to intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final words.

The association game is not very different from the "telephone". In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbors their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - a holiday, and so on.

The main thing is that the suit fits

It is better to hold this competition towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already slightly drunk, get to know each other and are ready for really fun contests. A bag with various funny clothes is prepared in advance: felt boots, scarves, scarves, family panties, diapers for adults, quilted jackets, glasses with a mustache, and so on. Contestants are seated in a circle, and a bag of clothes is passed around while the music is playing. When the music stops, the person who has the bag left without looking takes out one object and puts it on. The winner is the one who has the least “competitive” clothing. By the end, though, everyone looks fun.

snowman

The participants are again divided into two teams and 8 inflated balloons are given to them. Each team has balls of a different color. For example: red and blue. The letters are written on the balls with a marker so that the word "Snowman" is the result.

Other words can be formed from these 8 balls. This is what speed teams will do. The moderator asks questions, the answers to which can be laid out from the given letters. A point is earned by the team that will complete the task faster. The team with more point than the opponent wins.

Paper dress

This competition is attended by pairs. The man's task is to create a dress made of toilet paper for his female model. You can't use anything other than paper. But you can do whatever you want with it: twist, plug, tie in a bow. The contestants are removed to a separate room, then the girls go out and demonstrate their outfits. Please note that the model must exit into IT by itself. The audience chooses the winners.

When choosing contests for a corporate party, try to alternate between active and sedentary games. To begin with, choose calm and not too frivolous tasks, allowing the participants to get to know and relax. Towards the end, when people have already relaxed enough, you can afford more daring contests for the new year.

Family holiday or at work in honor of the New Year.

Funny contests for the new year can be held in a small company of friends or relatives.

For most of us, celebrating the New Year is often limited to a not so great variety of actions and events in an apartment or house. This is mainly booze, delicious food and snacks, dancing, karaoke. But there are many great fun games and contests. Let's look at some of them, it is quite possible that you will take some notes to yourself and embody this coming New Year's Eve in your small company.

"Black box"... A gift is placed in a black box, which must be guessed. You can ask leading questions, which can be answered with either “yes” or “no”. Ask questions one at a time. The one who guessed it gets a gift.

"Rhymes"... Participants are given cards with words. For example: Moscow, Prince, Monkey, New Year. Each has its own set of words. Players need to come up with a toast-congratulation within a minute. Can be held 10 minutes before the President's congratulations.

"Alarm"... When the guests just enter your house, give them something like an assignment on a piece of paper or a note that, they say, at such and such a time you must complete such and such a task. It will be funny when, right after the chimes, someone suddenly begins to crow or dance a private dance, rubbing himself against the jamb of the front door.

"Decorate the Christmas tree"... A blindfolded player with a toy in his hands spins around his axis and is left alone. He must hang the toy on his own - but what will be in front of him, or who is a Christmas tree or one of the guests, this is where the fun begins. The toy must be hung in any case.

"Lottery"... Notes with numbers are put in a rag bag. Separately, on a piece of paper, they are written down under numbers, whether they are wishes or congratulations, requests or tasks. The person who pulled out a piece of paper with a number is checked against the piece of paper and does everything that is set there. To complicate the competition, you can introduce the concept of time allotted for the task.

"Understand me"... It is necessary without a voice, with the help of gestures, to try to explain intelligibly the word or action that is conceived for the contestant. Moreover, all words should have the theme of the New Year. You can introduce the concept of time for a specific word. Whoever guesses the first word or action has the right to choose the next contestant and guess the word.

"Five clothespins"... There are two contestants in this fun competition. They pinch five clothespins for each, blindfold them, all the guests should see this, and at the start signal, the contestants should quickly find them and take them off, who is faster. To some, this task will seem too easy, then we call him or their place is taken by the contestant, but first we blindfold them, and then we hang clothespins on them - but not five, but four. And then let them look for health. The competition will look even more fun if the guests themselves cheer up these contestants.

The host will read the New Year's questions for each guest, and the guests will answer, the more interesting, the better. Questions can be of the following nature: On New Year's Eve he hurries, in needles and pricks, starts with "Yo", dances and sings, calls everyone with him (not a Christmas tree, but a dancing cheerful hedgehog); On "Ш" it begins, open, pour - adds charm and shine (not champagne, but shampoo - makes hair beautiful and shiny); Flashes with bright lights and even on a holiday with us (not a garland, but a traffic cop on a holiday on the road); With a beard and a red coat, he smiles sweetly at everyone, tries in his own way (not Santa Claus, but a bum in a red coat that he found); Green, a mandatory attribute of the New Year (not a Christmas tree, but green peas for Olivier) and so on.

New year toast

Guests are given cards with different abbreviations. TASS, housing and communal services, Ministry of Internal Affairs, OKA, traffic police, air force, etc. The task of the competitor is to prepare a short toast, the words of which will begin with these letters. The toast drinks to the bottom, the rest - in support of the best toast.

Unpredictability

Each of the guests on his leaf writes any 5 words that come to his mind. When everyone has written their words and put their pens aside, the presenter explains the rules: it is necessary, taking the written words as a basis, to draw up a horoscope for the coming year for your neighbor (the first guest for the second, the second for the third, and so on, the last for the first). So everyone will know what awaits him in the new year and everyone will laugh heartily.

Santa Claus is not everywhere Santa Claus

For this competition, the presenter must find out (the easiest way is the Internet), as Santa Claus is called in different parts of the world, for example, Yollupukki (Finland), Tovlis Babua (Georgia), Per Noel (France), Kahand Pap (Armenia) and so on. ... In turn, the host of the holiday calls Santa Claus from different countries, and the guests guess in which country the New Year's wizard is called so. Whoever gives the most correct answers will receive a prize.

Remembering the alphabet

Starting with the first person at the table and clockwise, everyone gets up and wants three items in the order of the letters in the alphabet (except for b, b and b) For example, the first person wants three words for the letters "a", "b" and " c ", the second -" d "," d "," e "and so on until the end of the entire alphabet. It will be interesting to see how people who get very interesting letters, for example "e" or "e", will get out.

History by name

For this competition, the presenter must prepare his own funny story with the names of all family members, for example, Once on December 31, Vasily decided to go into the forest for a Christmas tree. But, there was a strong blizzard and Tanya said that it was better to buy a Christmas tree in the market next to the house. Then Ivan decided to take up this business, and Vasya and Tanya told them to sit at home and prepare Christmas tree decorations. Mom Katya at this time was preparing a delicious cake in the kitchen, and dad Dima was merrily humming a New Year's song about a Christmas tree and so on. When the presenter reads the story, the guest whose name is pronounced should immediately touch the nose. The one who did not have time or "missed", he is eliminated from the game, and who will show careful attentiveness and dexterity and stay to the end, he will definitely receive a prize.

Writing a song together

Take a large sheet of paper and a pen. The first guest writes one sentence (any, whatever is on his mind) and folds the leaf so that the sentence is not visible, then the second guest writes his sentence, and so on in a circle. When everyone has written their thoughts, a group of volunteers is selected who will play the role of a festive choir. They are given an unfolded piece of paper with a compiled story, which will need to be sung to the tune of a New Year's song, for example, "A Christmas tree was born in the forest." It will be fun, funny, unexpected and interesting.

Intuition

It's simple: you need to cut out the most beautiful snowflake with your eyes closed. Whoever does it neatly and beautifully will win.

Right and wrong song

Through one, the guests will sing correctly or incorrectly a song about the New Year, for example, "A Christmas tree was born in the forest", that is, the first guest sings the correct word - "B", and the next one sings the wrong word - for example, instead of "forest" sings "desert" , the third sings the correct word - "was born", and the fourth sings the wrong - instead of "Christmas tree", for example, "pumpkin" and so on. The main thing is not to get lost and show imagination, and the fastest and smartest will receive prizes.

Blowing out the candles

Candles have always had magical properties. And, of course, on such a holiday candles are an obligatory attribute of the table. The game will be fun. Opposite sides of the table are involved (you need to make sure that both sides have the same number of guests). Each guest receives a candle, all together light their candles. And on the command "start" the game begins, the rule of which is quite simple - to blow out the candles of the opposing team, that is, the guests from one side of the table will blow out the candles of the guests of the opposite side and vice versa. The team that will be the first will receive the title of the winner.

Funny tasks and games will help you not only have fun, but also get to know each other better, which is especially important in a company with many new characters. It is better to select competitions in advance, taking into account the composition of the company and its preferences. And there are plenty to choose from!

In the first part of the article, we offer funny funny contests for a fun company at the table. Funny forfeits, questions, games - all this will help to melt the ice in an unfamiliar environment and to have fun and usefully your time. Competitions may involve additional requisites, so it is better to decide this issue in advance.

The competition is held at the beginning of each event. It is necessary to prepare a comic answer to the question “Why did you come to this holiday?” On several pieces of paper. The options for such answers may be different:

  • free to eat;
  • look at people, and show yourself;
  • nowhere to sleep;
  • the owner of the house owes me money;
  • it was boring at home;
  • I'm afraid to be alone at home.

All papers with answers are put into a bag, and each guest in turn takes out a note and loudly asks a question, and then reads the answer.

"Picasso"

It is necessary to play without leaving the table and already drunk, which will give the competition a special piquancy. In advance, you should prepare the same drawings that have unfinished details.

You can make the drawings completely the same and not finish drawing the same parts, but you can leave different parts unfinished. The main thing is that the idea of ​​the drawing is the same. Reproduction of sheets with pictures in advance on a printer or manually.

The guests' task is simple - to finish the drawings the way they want, but use only the left hand (right if the person is left-handed).

The winner is chosen by the entire company by voting.

"Journalist"

This competition was created so that people at the table could get to know each other better, especially if many of them see others for the first time. You will need to prepare a box with leaflets in advance, on which you write questions in advance.

The box is passed in a circle, and each guest pulls out a question and answers it as truthfully as possible. Questions can be different, the main thing is not to ask too frank, so that the person does not feel uncomfortable:

Questions can be thought of in large numbers, funny and serious, the main thing is to create a relaxed atmosphere in the company.

"Where I am"

Prepare blank sheets of paper and pens in advance according to the number of guests. On each leaf, each guest should describe his appearance in words: thin lips, beautiful eyes, a wide smile, a birthmark on his cheek, etc.

Then all the leaves are collected and folded into one container. The presenter takes out the sheets one by one and reads the description of the person aloud, and the whole company must guess him. But each guest can name only one person, and the one who guesses the most wins and receives a symbolic prize.

"I AM"

The rules of this game are extremely simple: the company sits in a circle so that all participants can clearly see each other's eyes. The first person says the word "I", and after him everyone repeats the same word in turn.

Initially, this is simple, but the main rule is not to laugh or skip your turn. At first, everything is simple and not funny, but you can pronounce the word "I" with different intonations and remarks to make the company laugh.

When someone laughs or misses their turn, the whole company chooses a name for this player and then he says not only "I", but also the word that was assigned to him. Now it will be more difficult not to laugh, because when an adult man sits next to him and says in a squeaky voice: "I am a flower," it is very difficult not to laugh and gradually all the guests will have funny nicknames.

For laughter and for a forgotten word, a nickname is again assigned. The funnier the nicknames are, the faster everyone will laugh. The winner is the one who finishes the game with the smallest nickname.

"Associations"

All guests are chained next to each other. The first player starts and speaks any word in his neighbor's ear. His neighbor continues and in the ear of his neighbor says his association with the word he heard. And so all the participants in a circle.

Example: The first one says "apple", the neighbor passes on the word-association "juice", then there can be "fruits" - "garden" - "vegetables" - "salad" - "bowl" - "dishes" - "kitchen" and so on ... After all the participants said the association and the circle returned to the first player - he says his association out loud.

Now the main task of the guests is to guess the topic and the original word that was at the very beginning.

Each player can express their thoughts only once, but not say their own word. All players must guess each word-association, if they could not - the game simply starts over, but with a different participant.

"Sniper"

The whole company sits in a circle so that they can see each other's eyes well. All players draw lots - it can be matches, coins or notes.

All tokens for the draw are the same, except for one, which indicates who will be the sniper. The lot must be drawn so that the players do not see what falls out and to whom. There should be only one sniper and he should not betray himself.

Sitting in a circle, the sniper pre-selects his victim, and then gently winks at her. The victim, noticing this, loudly shouts "Killed!" and exits the game, but the victim must not betray the sniper.

The sniper must be extremely careful so that the other participant does not notice his wink and does not name him. The goal of the players is to identify and neutralize the killer.

However, this must be done by two players at the same time pointing at the sniper. For this game, you will need remarkable endurance and speed, as well as ingenuity to figure out the enemy and not be killed.

"Guess the Prize"

This game will be an excellent option for a birthday celebration, because you can take the name of the hero of the occasion as a basis. For each letter in the name of the birthday person, a prize is placed in an opaque bag, for example, the name Victor - there should be 6 different small prizes in the bag for each letter of the name: waffle, toy, candy, tulip, nuts, belt.

Guests must guess each prize. The one who guesses and receives a gift. If the prizes are too intricate, then the host should give the guests hints.

This is a very easy competition that requires the preparation of additional props - pens and pieces of paper. At first, the whole company is divided into pairs, this can be done randomly, by lot or at will.

Everyone gets a pen and a piece of paper and writes any words. There can be from 10 to 20 words - real nouns, not invented ones.

All pieces of paper are collected and folded into a box, and the game begins.

The first couple receives a box and one of the participants pulls a piece of paper with a word. He tries to explain this word to his partner without naming it.

When he guesses the word, they proceed to the next one, for the entire task the couple has no more than 30 seconds. After the time is up, the box moves on to the next pair.

The winner is the one who guesses as many words as possible. Thanks to this game, a good time is guaranteed!

"Buttons"

A couple of buttons should be prepared in advance - this is all the necessary props. As soon as the leader gives the command, the first participant puts a button on the pad of the index finger and tries to pass it to a neighbor.

You cannot use other fingers and drop them too, so you need to transfer very carefully.

The button must go around a full circle, and the participants who drop it are eliminated. The winner is the one who has never dropped the button.

Simple comic contests for an adult fun company at the table

At the table, when all the participants have already eaten and drunk, it is more fun to play. Moreover, if there are a couple of interesting and unusual contests that will amuse even the most boring company.

What feast is complete without toasts? This is an important attribute of any feast, so you can diversify them a little or help those who do not like this business or do not know how to make speeches.

Therefore, the presenter announces in advance that the toasts will be unusual and they must be said, observing the conditions. The conditions written on a piece of paper are placed in the bag in advance: to associate a toast with food (let life be all in chocolate), to make a speech in a certain style (thieves' speech, in the style of "The Hobbit", stuttering, etc.), to associate congratulations with animals ( flutter like a butterfly, be fragile like a moth, love faithfully like swans), say congratulations in verse or in a foreign language, say a toast where all words begin with one letter.

The list of tasks can be increased to infinity, as long as there is enough imagination.

"In my pants"

This spicy game is suitable for a company where everyone knows each other well and is ready to have fun. The presenter must not reveal the meaning of the game in advance. All guests sit down, and each guest calls his neighbor in his ear the name of any movie.

The player remembers and, in turn, calls the neighbor another movie. All players must be given a title. The host then asks the players to say out loud "In my pants ..." and add the title of the film. It becomes a lot of fun when someone has "The Lion King" or "Resident Evil" in their pants!

The main thing is that the company is fun, and no one is offended by the jokes!

"Illegal quiz"

This little quiz is perfect for lovers of intellectual humor. It is good to spend it at the very beginning of the celebration, while the guests can think soberly. It is worth warning everyone in advance that you should think carefully about the question before giving an answer.

Players can be given pieces of paper and pencils so that they can write down the answers or simply ask questions and immediately aloud, after listening to the answers, name the correct option. The questions are as follows:

How many years did the Hundred Years War last?

  • mouse.

Despite the consistency of some of the answers, the correct answers are:

  • 116 years old;
  • Ecuador;
  • In November.
  • Albert.
  • from the seal.

"What I feel?"

In advance, you should prepare pieces of paper on which emotions and feelings will be written: rage, love, anxiety, sympathy, flirting, indifference, fear or neglect. All pieces of paper should be in a bag or box.

All players are positioned so that their hands touch and close their eyes. The first participant in a circle or a row opens his eyes and pulls a piece of paper from the bag with the name of the feeling.

He must convey this feeling to his neighbor by touching his hand in a certain way. You can gently stroke your hand to represent tenderness, or hit to represent anger.

Then there are two options: either the neighbor must guess the feeling out loud and draw out the next piece of paper with the feeling, or pass on the received feeling further. During the game, you can discuss emotions or play in complete silence.

"Where I am?"

One participant is selected from the company and they sit on a chair in the center of the room so that he has his back to everyone. A plaque with inscriptions is attached to his back with the help of scotch tape.

They can be different: "Bathroom", "Shop", "Sobering up station", "Delivery room" and others.

The rest of the players should ask him leading questions: how often do you go there, why do you go there, for how long.

The main player must answer these questions and thus make the company laugh. The players on the chair can change, the main thing is to have fun with the company!

"Scoop bowls"

All players sit in a circle. The presenter prepares in advance a box with phantoms on which various kitchen utensils and attributes are written: forks, spoons, pots, etc.

Each player in turn must get one phantom and read its name. It cannot be called to anyone. After all players receive pieces of paper, they sit down or stand in a circle.

The host should ask the players, and the players should give the answer that they read on the piece of paper. For example, the question is "What are you sitting in?" the answer is "In a frying pan." Questions can be different, the task of the leader is to make the player laugh and then give him a task.

"Lottery"

This competition is good for a women's company on March 8th, but it is perfect for other events as well. Small pleasant prizes are prepared in advance and numbered.

Their numbers are written on pieces of paper and put into a bag. All participants in the event must pull out a piece of paper and pick up the prize. However, this can be turned into a game and the host has to ask funny questions to the player. As a result, each guest will leave with a small pleasant prize.

"Greedy"

A bowl with small coins is placed in the center of the table. Each player has his own saucer. The host distributes teaspoons or Chinese sticks to the players.

At the signal, everyone begins to scoop coins out of the bowl and drag them to their plate. The presenter should warn in advance how much time the players will have for this task and, after the expiration of the time, give a sound signal. After that, the presenter counts the coins on each player's saucer and chooses the winner.

"Intuition"

This game is played in a drinking company where people are not afraid to get drunk. One volunteer walks out the door and doesn't spy. The company puts 3-4 glasses on the table and fills them so that one contains vodka and all the others contain water.

A volunteer is invited. He must intuitively select a shot of vodka and drink it with water. Whether he will be able to find the right stack depends on his intuition.

"Forks"

A plate is placed on the table and a random object is placed in it. The volunteer is blindfolded and given two forks. He is brought to the table and given time so that he can touch the object with forks and identify it.

You can ask questions, but they should only be answered "Yes" or "No". Questions can help the player determine if the item is edible, if they can wash their hands or brush their teeth, and so on.

The presenter should prepare in advance two forks, a blindfold and objects: an orange, a candy, a toothbrush, a dishwashing sponge, a coin, an elastic hair band, a jewelry box.

This is a famous game that came from America. You do not need scotch tape and sheets of paper, as well as a marker.

Sticky stickers can be used, but check beforehand to see if they stick well to the skin. Each participant writes on a piece of paper any person or animal.

These can be celebrities, characters from films or books, as well as ordinary people. All pieces of paper are put into a bag and the presenter mixes them. Then all the participants sit in a circle and the presenter, passing by each glues a piece of paper with the inscription on his forehead.

A piece of paper with the inscription is glued to each participant with an adhesive tape on the forehead. The task of the players is to find out who they are by asking in turn leading questions: "Am I a celebrity?", "Am I a man?" Questions should be structured so that they can be answered in monosyllables. The winner is the one who guesses the character first.

An example of another fun drinking contest is in the next video.

Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2018? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and contests for the New Year, and I found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Dog cheerfully and joyfully.

How to prepare for contests and games: fun and interesting contests for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with the TV, not to mention a party for a fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

1. Make a plan for games and contests. A group of adults will need to eat and raise their glasses for the new year and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.

2. Prepare props. Having decided what you will play at home for the new year, make a list of what you need for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to themed contests (I use small gift bags for this).

3. Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute Christmas toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.

4. Supporting materials are best done on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on ordinary cards in advance, it is much more convenient than using one large script.

5. Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.

COLLECTION OF COMPETITIONS AND GAMES

A. "WISHES"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be offered to burst balls, inside which there will be wishes.

It is necessary to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be more than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are embedded. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut the ball they like, and then read it out loud to all the guests - such a simple but sweet entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.

B. "FIGURES"

New Year's games and contests based on the “question and answer” model always attract a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the presenter hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and offers to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several rounds. When all the guests have coped with the task, the presenter says that now all those present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them by picking up a piece of paper with the recorded numbers and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day he eats, how much he weighs, how many times he stayed for the second year, and so on.

C. "NOT A WORD OF TRUE"

My favorite fun is funny contests for the new year. Of course, for the company of retirees it will be necessary to select something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game "Not a word of truth."

The presenter will need to prepare a lot of New Year's questions in advance, such as:

What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
... which film in our country symbolizes the new year?
... what is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
... who is molded out of snow in winter?
... who on TV addresses the Russians with a New Year's speech?
... outgoing year - who is the year according to the Chinese calendar?

It is better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year's traditions in different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the presenter will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will have to answer without saying a word of the truth.

Anyone who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various desires - you can use desires to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to shove several slices of tangerine by both cheeks and say something like “ I am a hamster and I eat grain, do not touch it - it is mine, and whoever takes it is the end! ”. Explosions of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the "punishment" of the losing participant.

D. "POINT ARROWS"

As entertainment for the new 2018, you can play snipers. The funnest thing is to play this game when the participants are already a little drunk - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it is already a little more difficult to hit the target.

The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws "snowballs" into the bucket. A bucket from the players is set at a distance of five to seven meters, as "snowballs" you can use cotton balls, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple Christmas balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this 2018 new year party game for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a "target" - getting into them with a soft ball of cotton is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

E. "NEW YEAR DECORATIONS"

Of course, New Year's contests for adults can be less athletic.

All those present must be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The task for the teams is to build a New Year's ball. For crafting, you can only use toilet items, accessories and decorations that are on the team members. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.

By the way, a small life hack - in every company there are people who do not actively participate in contests and try to just sit it out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint their jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to say a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will simultaneously be involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled from the table.

And, of course, the sight of a mother who speaks soulfully into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the film academy for the opportunity to see the battle on the ice in her own living room is priceless. :))

F. "COME, FOREST DEER"

By the way, if you are looking for contests for a corporate party for the new year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his reindeer. Here you do not need to divide guests into teams, you just need to invite them to split into pairs.

Each pair has a "deer" and "Santa" (you can give one of the makeshift horns, and the other Santa Claus caps - both are sold for mere pennies in the store of fixed prices before the new year).

The "deer" needs to be blindfolded and made a sled - no need to be smart, a simple clothesline or lace that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. The winners are those participants who came to the finish line earlier than others and did not knock down the pins. Instead of pins, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

G. "COLLECTIVE LETTER"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends each new year wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. You can use ready-made text (as in the image), you can make your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - they should be called by guests.

The presenter invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written down congratulations. Only now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should prompt them. All in disagreement offer adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the host writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

H. "REPKA: NEW YEAR VERSION"

Love New Year's contests for the whole family - then the turnip is what you need!

So, you need to prepare the participants - you need them according to the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant is assigned a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and the movement that he should act out when mentioning himself.

1. The turnip will clap himself on his knees, and then clap his hands with the exclamation "Oba!".
2. Grandfather rubs his palms and groans "Ta-ak-s!"
3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, "I would have nailed it!"
4. The granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when this role is played by men, it turns out just fine).
5. The bug itches and complains about fleas.
6. The cat wags its "tail" and manneredly holds out "And I am on my own."
7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says “We’re done!”.

After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (there are no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. Grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, wow!) And further in the text. Believe me, bursts of laughter will be enough, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the host will list all the participants in turn.

I. "STRICTLY IN ALPHABET"

In one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor, and reminds everyone present that the New Year's celebration is just beginning, but the alphabet is already difficult to remember. In this connection, the presenter proposes to fill the glasses and raise a toast to the new year, but strictly in alphabetical order.

Each guest should make a short toast to their own letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second must start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

1. An absolute must-have for happiness in the new year!
2. Let's be healthy in the new year!
3. Let's drink to the old year!
4. If we don't get drunk, we'll have to gorge ourselves!

The task for all those present is to say toasts to each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, for which it is worth drinking, becomes the winner!

J. "BUNNIES"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2018 - play bunny. On New Year's Eve, playing this game at home is best when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and hold hands, the leader goes around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the presenter pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, not allowing him to sit down. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants go into a rage.

The main trick of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have alternately squatted on the names of other animals, the presenter says "Bunny!"

Naturally, everyone laughs, and a bunch of smalls gathers on the floor!

K. "NEWS FROM NEW YEAR"

An excellent competition that you can play without leaving the table.

The presenter will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with hot news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on the cards? Any set of words.

China, dumplings, roses, Wimbledon, lilac.
... Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, travel bag.
... New 2018, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
... Santa Claus, dog, herring, stapler, barrier.
... Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How do you come up with news? Set an example for guests by showing that you need to use all the words, and the stranger the news is, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave you can build something like this: "In the Moscow zoo, during a winter wash, a rug was found in a boa constrictor." There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and to drink for all the news in the new 2018 to be as positive.

L. "JUMPING INTO THE NEW YEAR"

In the family circle, as entertainment for the new year, we often arrange jumps, and 2018 will not be an exception, I am sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

So, how it happens: after having drunk for the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it is dynamic, energetic and bright!

And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - someone manages to draw several miniatures, someone just schematically draws what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or the final touches remain. After the President's speech, the host invites everyone to join hands, count the chorus chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the realization of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has what came true - also a topic for a table conversation, by the way.

M. "MOST - MOST"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. A good way to keep your guests busy is to give them quests, but few people just want to compete, right?

Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets or small gifts on the tree. It is best to opt for curly chocolate or other sweet Christmas tree decorations. We supply each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions over which guests will have to reflect and get to know each other better (ideally when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).

What to write on labels:

1. The owner of the darkest eyes.
2. The best high jumper.
3. The biggest bully (here you will have to tell everyone about your bullying in childhood).
4. To the owner of the best tan.
5. The owner of the highest heels.
6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
7. A pair whose clothing buttons add up to 10.
8. The one who is wearing more yellow today.

I think you get the main message. The guests will independently begin to find out who was vacationing where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of heels and discuss the work.

N. "SONG FROM THE HAT"

By the way, almost all New Year's contests at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they take out and carry out tasks from relatives or colleagues.

In the new year 2018, with our family, we will play a popular variation of this game with songs. In the hat you need to sketch notes with winter and New Year's words, each guest blindly pulls out a note from the hat and sings a song in which this word is found.

By the way, it will be possible to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a smart idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one from the famous New Year songs of the past.

By the way, this game is also suitable for a small company of any age - of course, a student is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer during the game - after all, cool New Year's contests unite!

O. "MITTENS"

Naturally, contests for the new year for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?

So, girls are put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they do not freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year contests for teenagers and young people, wanted to make this contest the other way around - while freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they had to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the shirt floor and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it, it is not easy to do this in mittens.

P. "LET'S DRAW GRANDFATHER FROST"

Creative New Year's contests for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.

So, holes for hands are made in a dense sheet of cardboard. We give out brushes to the players, they must stick their hands through the holes and depict Santa Claus. At this moment they do not see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give the task to some to portray the Snow Maidens, and to others - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to the fairytale character.

By the way, if you are looking for contests for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find fun music too - I use a cut from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's contests in 2018, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

Q. SHARE ROLE

You can start funny contests for the new year for the family with this kind of entertainment.

Prepare more attributes of fabulous New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year with a proposal to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present should play out their role. It can be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the snow queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Distribute small attributes to all guests that will correspond to their role that night - for example, a crown will fit the snow queen, Santa Claus can knock loudly with an elegant staff, and a company of over-grown bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's drinking games will acquire a new color as soon as Grandma Zima starts to say toast or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2018 and New Year's dances.

R. "PHOTOPROBE"

What are some cool New Year contests without photos?

Make a photo area and collect some props in this corner - guests can take pictures in different ways, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:

The most decrepit snowflake;
... the most sleepy guest;
... the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
... the most hungry Santa Claus;
... the most generous Santa Claus;
... the kindest Santa Claus;
... the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
... the most overeating guest;
... the happiest guest;
... the most cunning Baba Yaga;
... the most evil Kashchei;
... the strongest hero;
... the most capricious princess;
... the largest snowflake;
... etc…

By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite the guests to draw out the role in which they have to be photographed without looking, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deed to better embody the image. You can laugh in the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this literally in a few minutes.

S. "GOODIES FROM GRANDFATHER FROST"

Tell the guests a legend about how Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, and the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in an opaque packaging, or a box made by yourself, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags tied with thick thread or ribbon.

As pleasant little things, there can be: calendars, candles, key chains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Each time it surprises with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and fortuneteller, one more New Year's entertainment:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for a New Year's corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it is better to prepare table games for the new year and interesting contests in advance, and 2018 is just around the corner!
