New Year's contests for large groups of adults or children should be organized in advance. Then the holiday will be held on cheerful notes and everyone will remember it for life. There are many gaming activities that will interest the participants. Some of them with a detailed description are mentioned in the article. The assortment is as diverse as possible so that each person picks up something for himself.
Competition with stories
New Year's contests require initial preparation, and therefore, the organizer of the celebration should make your list in advance. Story-reading games also require minimal effort from the lead person on New Year's Eve. When organizing, you will need to find some fun stories and choose special words from them, the number of which should be equal to the number of participants. Already at the holiday people are selected who will compete with each other.
Chairs are placed in a circle, and there should be one less than the participants. The first story is read by any of the people, and each person should already have his own special word that will sound in the story. When a participant hears it, he should immediately sit in a chair, and one who does not have time to do this will automatically replace the narrator. The struggle for their seats in the row of seats among the guests is guaranteed. All this will be accompanied by explosive humor.
The only remark will be that it is advisable to select words from stories only those that have one or a minimum number of repetitions. For the winners of the New Year's contest, you can prepare a symbolic award in the form of small accessories or toys.
Interpretation of a fairy tale
Some games require the organizer only to carefully explain the conditions for the participants. These include the contest "New Year's Fairy Tale", which will require seven guests to perform. This number is equal to the characters that appeared in the story "Turnip". Each actor will have his own line, which should be proclaimed during the reading of the tale.
The role of Repka can be played by anyone who can loudly proclaim “Oops!” and clap your hands. Grandfather got the phrase "Tech-s" with rubbing his hands at the same time. Grandmother complains about her husband and threatens: “I would kill a reptile!” The granddaughter exclaims in a thin voice: “I am ready,” and winks at grandfather. For maximum effect, this role should be given to an adult man with a wonderful sense of humor. The performer of the role of Bugs should scratch behind the ear and say: “Fleas got!” The cat’s character is more suitable for a beautiful girl who, in time to the swaying of her hips, will be able to coquettishly proclaim: “But I myself.” The actor who gets the mouse should show sadness and proclaim: "Got game!"
When people understand their phrases and memorize actions, then you can begin to execute. The organizer will begin to read the story “Turnip”, and the contest “New Year's Fairy Tale” can be considered started. The narration is best suited for the game, because the names of characters often sound there. Actors are guaranteed to stray, confuse replicas and at the same time fill up with general laughter. For all guests of the holiday, such entertainment will be most enjoyable and will be remembered by positive emotions.
Fun for a long time
According to the results of the contest “New Year's Tale”, you can also give out minimal prizes in the form of sweets or accessories, because the actors will give a lot of fun. This game is not the only one of a large number that can make people laugh at tears during the holiday. Another great entertainment may be trying to guess a celebrity. The organizer must prepare a bag with postcards, which will be the name or photo of a celebrity. One team pulls out a blind card for themselves. After that, they choose from their group a person who will try to describe the person from the sheet. The task of the other team is to try to guess who exactly the person in front of them represents. If they manage to do this, then the point is counted to this group. This can be continued for several rounds. A sea of fun, positive and laughing while watching the demonstrations is guaranteed to people.
The second competition, which will cause a storm of emotions for both participants and spectators, is the game "In Order". Its execution is as simple as possible, but requires a large number of participants for the most fun. The organizer puts people in a row and creates a space between them. After that, a blindfold is put on the eyes of each of them. They should be moved further, so that it would not be too easy to solve the task. When participants get lost in their positions, each person should whisper a number in his ear, which will mean a place in a row. They with their eyes closed will have to line up in the right row. The results of the New Year’s contest “In Order” will be so funny that even the most persistent guest will not be able to resist.
Unraveling people and finding a couple
New Year's contests for the year of any animal according to the Chinese horoscope should touch on this topic. The organizer will be able to simultaneously entertain the audience and recall this tradition with a game called Noah's Ark. According to the famous biblical theme, when rescuing from a flood, animals were invited to the constructed ship in pairs. There should be several creatures of each kind, and this is the essence of entertainment.
The organizer prepares a bag with inscriptions of species of the fauna world. It’s best not to take standard animals like hares or wolves. Here everything is limited only by the imagination of the leading person at the holiday. Each of the participants pulls out a card on which his creature is written. When all people get their characters, their task will be to find a couple.
Animals must be recorded in two, so that the competition could end. Participants are forbidden to talk, and you can only find your partner in the ark with gestures. The sight when a group of people tries to portray a variety of animals will be unforgettable.
After this game, you can immediately spend on a wave of fun and a second entertainment. A person is selected from the crowd of guests, who will have to guess the other participants by their appearance. His eyes are blindfolded, and other people are interchanged in a row. Then the user with the bandage should use the hands and inner instinct to name the person who is standing in front of him. This game is ideal for a company where everyone knows each other, and it does not require much time.
Food and Drink Contests
Participation in New Year's contests can be accompanied not only by cheerful emotions, but also by some risk. This applies to the game called "Eggs", for which the organizer must prepare before the holiday.
People who are willing to take risks are called out of the company. If such men and women are found, then the rules are explained to them. The bottom line is that among the six eggs there is one raw one, and one of the same number of participants will be in a difficult position. Each user, in turn, goes to the basket, takes the product and breaks it on his head.
The secret is that all eggs should be boiled, but participants should not know about it. When the last of them remains, his emotions will cause general laughter. This person will decide for a long time before making a blow to the head. As a result, everyone will be satisfied, and the organizer will receive praise for the interesting approach to entertainment.
Positive emotions in the public will cause a second competition - with cocktails. It should have several participants, and with them one leader. He is blindfolded and put in a row all the drinks that are on the table. A person is called from the hall who decides whether the indicated liquid will be poured into the participant's glass. Each shake should consist of three ingredients. The leader takes turns pointing out a row of bottles with his eyes closed, while a person from the audience votes for or against. The result is an interesting combination of different, often incompatible fluids. After that, a festive toast is said, and the participants drink the contents of the glasses to the cheerful laughter of friends from the company.
Several original contests
Good New Year's contests should be not only fun for participants and spectators, but also interesting. In this direction, the game "Mummy" can get the championship. It will take six people to complete it. Two will play the role of the same name, while others will try to decorate this participant. Teams get a roll of paper and, upon a signal, begin to compete in the ability to create a mummy from a living person. The organizer must take into account not only the speed of the mission, but also the originality of the approach.
The process itself gives a lot of pleasure, entertains and charges with a charge of positive emotions for further celebration. The winners of the New Year contest should be awarded with sweets, drinks or minimal gifts.
The game with the simple name "Advertising" will not lose this entertainment in originality. Several men are called out from the audience, who will have to show their creativity. After that, beautiful ladies are called to them, and each becomes opposite to the participant. After that, the organizer asks the men what exactly attracts them to the young ladies opposite. They will definitely name certain parts of the body.
After that, the host announces their task - to create in a minute or two ads of the selected object. This will not only unbalance them, but also make the audience burst into laughter. For large groups of friends, this contest is ideal, because it will sound the most diverse jokes. Most often, men say some nonsense, which will amuse the audience with the participants.
Dances and ingenuity
In each New Year's competition, the results should be accompanied by applause and general fun. This is a sign that he was chosen correctly, and therefore managed to please all the guests. One of these is called Ice Dancing. This is a win-win option for any company that will cause a real storm of laughter.
The organizer should carefully look at those people who did not dare to dance when the music began to play. You can also choose just creative young people. It is best to take five or six participants. For them, separate newspapers are laid out on the floor, on which they stand before the music starts. For a while they dance, after which the melody stops.
Newspapers during the break are doubled, and participants will have to demonstrate more skill. This continues until a small piece of paper is on the floor. The victory is given to the person who managed to surprise everyone and demonstrate his skills. The competition will not take much time, but will set the right tone for the holiday.
After it, a good idea would be to have an entertainment called “Snowman”. For him, it is necessary to prepare inventory in advance - nine balloons, adhesive tape and markers. Three balls are given to each of the participants, as well as other details. Their task will be to quickly mold a snowman and decorate it. The victory will be won not by one who manages to cope with the task, but a participant with the most original design. Inept attempts to cope with scotch tape and ball explosions are guaranteed to be a performance for the public.
Children's entertainment
The contest of New Year’s crafts can be combined with the game “Snowflake” in order to arouse even more admiration among the children. To do this, the facilitator will need sheets of paper, scissors, felt-tip pens or markers for coloring. The task of each child will be to cut out a snowflake as quickly as possible and to paint it in an original way. The first one to do this should receive a well-deserved prize.
The organizer should also award other participants, because after that the results of their work can be applied in the next game mentioned above. To do this, snowflakes cling to long tinsel, the height should not be too large. Each child is blindfolded, music is turned on, and the children must remove the snowflakes. The winner is the one who collected the most units of inventory. The New Year's design contest will be able to interest young participants in the fact that it requires creativity.
After it, the organizer can announce a game called "Get to the Christmas Tree." A gift is placed under an evergreen tree, and on both sides, participants become equal distance. At the signal, they must jump on one leg to the tree in order to receive the coveted prize. This is no less fun than the competition of New Year's crafts.
Such competitions are best organized several times so that everyone can prove themselves. The next entertainment can be a usual round dance, without which it is impossible to even imagine a children's holiday. The guys stand around the Christmas tree and hum one of the songs. This approach will help reassure the guys a little after the competition, because they are full of energy. At the same time, they will have fun because of the variety of events at their holiday.
Decorated Fun and Team Battles
The contest "Christmas toy" is to make the kids feel like real decorators. Under the supervision of senior people, two teams are created that will dress up small Christmas trees. If there are none, then you can divide one large tree into sectors that they need to embellish. When the music turns on, the New Year’s Toy contest begins. Kids get their decorations and try to fasten them to the Christmas tree. This type of entertainment will appeal to any child, without exception. The game is also good because a large number of children can take part in it at the same time. This can be practiced on matinees in elementary school or kindergarten. After the end of the competition, the organizer must award participants sweets.
Another interesting team battle is an entertainment called Snowball in a Spoon. For him, children must be organized into teams, and they, in turn, divided into groups. Between them there must be a distance that will have to be overcome. Participants will carry a small piece of cotton wool in a spoon that should not fall.
When a member of one team reaches the endpoint, it passes the instrument with the snowflake to a friend. He will have to go the other way, where the second group is waiting for him. The team in which all members will cope with the task wins. This entertainment is more suitable for older children due to some difficulties in the rules.
It is also worth noting that adults also organize similar competitions during the holidays. To carry a spoon during team battles is better in your hands, and if it’s a solo competition, then for greater complexity, you can hold the tool in your mouth.
Other types of competitions between children
New Year's children's contests charge young participants with positive and fun for future holidays. The organizer must come up with the most diverse program, and therefore he should carefully prepare. A good choice would be entertainment called "New Year's Castle." It shows children a drawing, drawing or photo of a beautiful building. They must carefully study it, after which a sheet is taken from them, and each participant is blindfolded. With the help of plasticine from cups, they should display it. The most creative participant receives an award.
If you hold competitions on the street, then you can try to organize a competition with snowballs. A bucket is placed at a short distance, and the children try to get into it with their shells. You can attract a large number of guys to this game. They will have fun and cheer themselves up to an unprecedented level. Children should always have Santa Claus at the matinee, and many competitions can be associated with it. For example, a game with a cap that is transmitted in a circle. Participants form a chain around the Christmas tree and pass the item to the fun music. When she stops, the child with the cap should put it on his head, and Santa Claus should make him a small wish. Passion with laughter in this entertainment will feel every participant.
