The main thing is to meet the year 2020 with family and close people, and not in a working environment.

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 kids.

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 small 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.

The game "In what words does the spruce grow?"

A festive feast is conducive to quiet games at the table. And even at the most cheerful and noisy holiday, there will always be a place for such games. You can, for example, play "words". Alternately remember and name the words inside which “spruce grows”.

Despite the fact that there are a lot of such words, it is not so easy to play such a game without preparation, so do not introduce any additional restrictions when naming the word (the number of syllables, the location of the "spruce" in the word, etc.).

The only condition is that you need to call common nouns in the initial form. The participant who cannot offer his own version of the word (of course, it is impossible to repeat) leaves the game or gives up his phantom, which will later be played along with others.

Words:"blizzard", "caramel", "jelly", "dolphin", "orange", "writer", "driver", "delta", "teacher", "carousel", "ashtray", "furniture", "gorge ”, “bum”, “drop”, “briefcase”, “stranded”, “target”, “panel”, “rail”, “housewarming”, “potato”, “mill”, “dumpling”, “Monday” and others

Quiz "And if there is no Christmas tree?"

In some countries, due to the hot climate, due to the lack of coniferous forests or due to national traditions, the New Year's tree (or rather, a plant) is not at all the green prickly beauties of the Christmas tree. Let's clarify how people from different countries decorate their houses before the New Year holidays.

Since questions on this exotic topic require special knowledge, we will introduce prompts for respondents with three possible answers - participants need to choose the correct one. Each of them has the same amount of conditional game units, for example, 5 spruce cones, or more simply - “shisha”. The host of the competition asks a question, offering to choose the correct answer. Before entering into an active game, the participant assigns a “price” to the question, not exceeding the amount available on his personal account. Further, he can give the answer himself and, if successful, increase his account by the amount of the cost of the question assigned by him or transfer the question to another participant. In any case, only one of the answers will be accepted. If the player to whom the question was passed answered correctly, the "cost" of the question goes to his account, and the score of the previous participant remains unchanged. If the answer is erroneous, then both players lose their game “shishi”. The next question of the presenter is answered by a guest sitting at the festive table to the left (right) of the participant who answered the previous question.

NEW YEAR IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE

Let's think about how and what are the best family New Year contests and family games for the New Year to organize. First, you need to take into account the number of participants in the holiday and their age, of course. Secondly, to think over the menu of the festive New Year's table, suitable for everyone. It’s good if the table setting is appropriate, for example, small children don’t have to watch how adults drink alcohol, so bottles and glasses for alcohol can be “disguised” with the same tinsel. The main thing is not to forget to do the same for children, making juices and compotes even more attractive for them than for adults. You will not have any problems with this at all if you decide to organize a family New Year's holiday in the form of a theme party. For example, a New Year's scenario for adults and children based on the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland" (everyone will drink from a tea set, and you yourself will figure out what to pour into the "teapot for adults") or "Treasure Island" (all pirates drink " rum”), etc.

The most important thing for the holiday is family games and competitions for the New Year. For a theme party, it’s easy to come up with them - based on the plot chosen for the script. And if your friendly company does not really like dressing up and reincarnation, then the New Year's scenario for adults and children can be arbitrary, the main thing is that everyone should have fun. It is better to start such entertainment, celebrating the New Year in the family circle, from about 21.00 in the evening in order to meet the New Year in an enthusiastic mood. By midnight, the kids will be tired enough to go to bed right after the chimes and let the grown-ups "have a blast"! And so, the New Year's scenario for adults and children.

NEW YEAR SCENARIO: FAMILY NEW YEAR

To begin with, you can give everyone a piece of paper and a pen so that they describe the most significant event of the outgoing year and their cherished dream for the coming New Year. Little kids can draw this. All leaves are put into a box, which is beautifully decorated with pictures, snowflakes, tinsel, etc. by joint efforts. The box is sealed with tape and set aside until the next New Year to open it in the family circle, read it and fill it with new contents. Children will really like this activity, and it will be interesting for parents to look into it later, remember the family New Year and save children's scribbles for a long memory.

Imagine that there are a lot of guests and you need to organize a family New Year's holiday with games and competitions for everyone. If you are going to, for example, about twenty people, then in advance for the participants of the evening you need to prepare:

  • 1. 10 sticks,
  • 2. 10 brooms (mini-applications, similar to the emblem of the "broom"),
  • 3. 20 homemade envelopes;
  • 4. about a hundred snow balls, rolling them out of cotton wool yourself;
  • 5. tree-appliqués that play the role of a medal for each victory in the competition;
  • 6. balloons, newspapers, confetti, ice cream, prizes for competitions, etc.

We put sticks and whisks into the prepared envelopes, and put the envelopes themselves into a hat. When the time comes to hold family New Year contests and family games for the New Year, we distribute envelopes to guests. Those who got the wand become members of the "Yolki-sticks" team, others - members of the "Yolki-broom" team (you can dream up names and attributes). Applications indicating belonging to a particular team can be attached to clothes with a pin.

Family competitions for the New Year: "Competition for the best New Year's costume."

Buy in advance bulk toilet paper, masks, glasses, noses, jewelry, pick up old dresses, scarves, skirts, etc. Next, the teams draw lots for who to prepare which costume. For example, you can guess the costumes of the Snow Maiden, clown, Indian, pirate. Whoever did it better and funnier gets a prize Christmas tree.

Family competitions for the New Year: "Frost breath".

This competition will be more interesting for children. Paper snowflakes are laid out in a row on the table. Participants must blow on them so that they fall from the table to the floor. When all the snowflakes fall, we surprise the contestants by saying that the contestant whose snowflake was the last to fall has won. That is, he has the most “frosty breath”, he froze a snowflake to the table.

Song family New Year's competitions: "Song from a hat."

Put small notes in the hat, on which only one word is written, for example: Santa Claus, icicle, frost, Christmas tree, etc. Each member of the teams takes turns taking notes out of the hat and performs a song or a fragment of a song in which the word written in the note occurs in the text - definitely winter or New Year's! Which team will give up first and will not be able to remember the right song - lost.

Family games for the New Year: "Snowball fight".

Hand out snowballs made from cotton wool to the teams. At the command of the leader, as soon as the cheerful music turns on, everyone starts throwing snowballs at each other. When the host turns off the music, the task of the participants is to collect as many snowballs as possible, both their own and their rivals. The team that collects the most snowballs wins a Christmas tree. Don't rush to turn off the music, let adults and children play a little - throwing snowballs is always fun, even if they are not real.

Competition for adults and children: "New Year's competitions - riddles."

The host makes riddles for the teams in turn or simply asks questions on topics related to the New Year. The team with the most correct answers is declared the winner. Riddles and questions can be anything, but preferably fun, and that they are suitable for adults and children, so that it would be interesting for both adults and children to guess them, that is, alternate their complexity and “adulthood”.
: 4 months pregnant, 5 months pregnant, 6 months pregnant

Examples of puzzles for the family New Year:

- Sewn with white, soft thread. First he walks, then he lies. And then it will flow, and disappear without a trace. What is this?
(ANSWER: snow)

(ANSWER: 3 geese, one after the other)

What is male pattern baldness?
(ANSWER: Replacing combing with washing)

Can an ostrich call itself a bird?
(ANSWER: no, he can't speak).

Family games for the New Year: Competition "Chain".

All team members play, each becoming in their own chain, alternating "boy" - "girl". Each of the participants takes a match in their teeth. The first is put on a match ring. The meaning of the game is to pass the ring along the chain - one after another, from match to match, without helping with your hands! And so, until the last participant. Which team did it faster, that one won.

Merry family New Year's contests: "They put Grandfather."

Prepare two texts about the New Year and the adventures of Santa Claus in advance - at your discretion. In these texts, all adjectives should be omitted. Print them so that there are empty spaces in place of adjectives. Do not show them to the participants and do not reveal the essence of the game. Let the players take turns calling any adjectives, the leader will enter them in the empty spaces in the text. Then the facilitator will read what happened. As a rule, it turns out to be a lot of fun, and whoever comes out with a funnier story is the winner.

Family New Year's entertainment: "Literary competition".

The essence of the game is to rhyme the most ridiculous continuation of the line on the theme of the New 2014 Year of the Horse. The teams are given the same sentences, written in advance on the sheets, and in 10 minutes they must come up with original endings for them. Sentences and endings can be different, for example, as follows:

  • 1. After New Year's Eve... - Vova doesn't want to get up in the morning.
  • 2. Here, they waited for the gifts ... - And they had a fight with my sister.
  • 3. Grandfather Frost has arrived ... - “Wait” will kiss someone.
  • 4. The chimes struck twelve ... - It's time for a hundred grams and ... to bed!
  • 5. We will decorate the Christmas tree together ... - Do we need to sleep somewhere in the morning?
  • 6. Here the year of the Horse has come ... - Let's ride, ... neigh ...

The answers are compared, and whoever has the most funniest and most original answers gets a prize Christmas tree.

Games for the New Year: "This was my ball !!!".

This competition is attended by one representative from the team. They are given one New Year's inflatable ball, which is tied to the left leg of the participants. At the leader's command, they should try to crush the opponent's ball with their right foot. It is recommended to play in indoor shoes (participants in stilettos or tarpaulin boots are not allowed to the competition!). The winner is the one who "bursts" the opponent's ball faster with his foot. You can use everyone in turn, counting the victory points.

New Year's family games: "Who better to jump into the New Year."

We invite participants to jump into the New Year. To do this, teams are sorted into pairs, one from each, taking into account age and height. Participants stand in one line and jump. The winner is the one who jumps the farthest. It is not worth continuing the competition for a long time - the neighbors below may “not like” it.

Dance competitions for the New Year: "Competition for the best dancer."

The members of each fun team are divided into pairs. They have hard dances ahead of them. A newspaper is placed under the feet of each couple, and music is turned on. Participants need to dance in such a way that they do not step over the edge of the newspaper. Then the task becomes more complicated - the newspaper is folded in half and the couples need to dance already on these halves. Then we fold the newspaper again, and again ... until there is one pair left that can be held on a small piece of newspaper paper.

Further, the New Year's scenario for adults and children involves a dance disco, awarding the winners with symbolic prizes, and maybe a comic punishment for the losers - at your discretion. A fun New Year's Eve party for adults and children continues! After the festive fatigue finally overtakes the kids, adults can continue!

And a little more about how unexpectedly funny the New Year's scenario of the holiday can be:

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. You can arrange with family 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”.
