Games and entertainment in the new year. Competitions and games for the new year for the company and the whole family. Competition for a company of adults

Oh ... Agree, a complex character. In the eastern horoscope, the Rooster has a strong position, but with us this hero is not very popular. Although ... You can also remember in Russian fairy tales the brave defender of the hare hut, who threatened: "I want to cut the fox, get down, fox, from the stove."

I decided to dilute the rooster theme with hens, chicks and eggs to make the contests more diverse. I write collections of ideas for each new year, I hope I will disappoint my readers this time as well.

New Year's contests "Year of the Rooster"

As prizes, you can give out cockerels in the form of lollipops and chocolate medals. Collections of more substantial gizmos, which are awarded for participation in competitions, are painstakingly collected in separate articles with links to stores. , a . I advise you to look if you need to quickly resolve this issue.

Lady in red or all Pushkin?

The Internet is full of good advice about what to wear on New Year's Eve in the year of the Red Rooster. In my opinion, there are no special rules, everyone comes up with their own ideas. You and I need something else - just to have fun, so I propose to announce some kind of dress code for the guests.

Option 1
Let all ladies and girls come in red to match the Red Rooster (or have some kind of red accessory - a clutch, a scarf, earrings, a headband with a red feather, a cape, a bracelet). Men can decorate themselves with a red tie.

Option 2
If you like costumed holidays, I suggest taking the characters of Pushkin's "Golden Cockerel" as a basis. Well, not everyone dress up as roosters and chickens on New Year's Eve! Let there be Kings of Dadona, Queens of Shamakhan, Astrologers-wise men, Russian warriors and a governor in armor.

Option 1. Fun photo session
You can take pictures at the Christmas tree or come up with another photo zone from simple materials(). If only not against the background of furniture and wallpaper. Your guests will have something to brag about on social networks.

Option 2. Defile
If everything is only in red, we arrange a fashion show to the song "Lady in red" (Chris de Burgh). If everything is according to Pushkin, you can take something like “Marusya” from the film “Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession” to the exit of Tsar Dadon and “rati”. And for the Astrologer and the Shamakhanskaya queen, something oriental will be needed.

Prizes for the most artistic.

Collage "Cockerel 2017"

Now at events it is very popular to create one memorial art object for all. Someone paints a general picture with oil, someone paints a large plaster figure, someone builds monumental structures from cardboard. At home, you can also repeat something like this.

For example, you can create beautiful collage in the form of a cockerel and arrange it in a frame.

Option 1
Before the start of the feast and during breaks between gastronomic blocks, your guests can come up and choose fragments for a collage, stick and write next to good wishes. I would suggest replacing the red paper with pictures from glossy magazines (I found large pages with examples in the old Domashny Ochag New Year's decoration). Handsomely?

The outline of the cockerel should be visible. It is better to print immediately on a musical or newspaper background. A layout on a white background can be downloaded from me on Yandex Disk (A3 format), but here is a layout on a translucent musical background. All details must be circled and cut in advance.

Option 2
With the help of the picture, you can win-win lottery prizes. There are only 28 fragments. Arrange the pieces in envelopes, suggest pulling them out at random. On the main background, number all the "pieces" and stick the same numbers on the gift boxes. Why children and adults like it so much, I don’t know, but they all anxiously open their bundles and rejoice at every little thing.

Option 3
If you do not want to involve adults in the creative process, download the coloring pages with cockerels, let the children color the pictures for the New Year's exhibition. Also good.

bean seeds

Oh, remember that tragic story from the fairy tale "The Cockerel and the Beanstalk"? He hurried, choked, the chicken had to work hard to grease the neck with oil. Here we can fantasize about it. My ideas:

Option 1
Relay for speed. We call two players. In one hand we give an empty plastic bottle, next to it on a plate - bean seeds. Beans, in other words. Well, whoever puts all the beans into the narrow neck faster, that's the prize.

Option 2
We call 5-7 guests, put them in a row. At a family holiday, it is better to mix children and adults. Remember how in that fairy tale each hero came up with a task for another hero to make butter for the chicken? This is how we need to figure it out. In the role of a chicken - LEADING.

Host to the 1st player: “Vova, congratulate me on the New Year!”
1st player: “And let my grandmother hug me, then I will congratulate”
Leading player 2: “Hug your grandson, then he will congratulate me on the new year”
2nd player: “Let Katya give me her purse, then I’ll hug you”
Leading the 3rd player: “Katya, give the handbag to your grandmother, then she will hug her grandson, he will congratulate me on the New Year”
3rd player: “And let my mother pat me on the head, then I’ll give it back”
Leading player 4: “Pet Katya on the head, then she will give her handbag to her grandmother, and the grandmother will hug her grandson, and he will congratulate me on the New Year”

You can also take a selfie, scratch your back, massage your ears, give a balloon, etc.

chicken memory

Option 1. All in the garden. Kindergarten!
I must say right away that the final must be filmed. In a year, you will laugh even harder. The bottom line is that all guests from 3 to 93 years old need to be given simple nursery rhymes about the new year.

Turn on joyful New Year's music for 3 minutes and ask to remember the verses by heart. For video recording, it is better to distribute accessories (funny glasses, ears, horns, hats, red noses, masks). Line up everyone in a row kindergarten(here it is also better to alternate tall uncles with kids), make the music a little quieter and ask to read your quatrain. Okay, you can peek. Only expressive!

Oh yes... For each correct answer we give a caramel cockerel on a stick!

Chickens do not peck money

I like the name of the contest... In principle, for a cash prize of even 100 rubles, you can think of anything. I hope someone in the comments will throw a couple of ideas. So far, here is an idea from the “classics of the genre”.

Show guests a transparent jar with a bunch of change and ask them to name the amount. Who is closer to reality, receives a cash prize.

chicken brains

Let's read a fragment from "The Tale of the Golden Cockerel" by A.S. Pushkin and put a cipher on it.

The first number is the line number (I numbered for convenience)
The second number is the ordinal number of the word in the string.
The third number is the serial number of the letter in the found word.

You need to encrypt the place where the next portion of gifts is folded. For example, this is how I encoded the word "windowsill". There are only four of them in our apartment, let the children look for which one will surprise them.

If there are more than 8 guests, it is better to divide into two teams and give different codes. In the end, everyone needs some little surprises. Even cakes for tea. So you and I even get a small quest ...

1. "Plant you this bird, -
2. He said to the king, - on the knitting needle;
3. My golden cockerel
4. Your faithful watchman will be:
5. If everything is peaceful around,
6. So he will sit quietly;
7. But only a little from the side
8. Expect war for you,
9. Or a raid of belligerent power,
10. Or another uninvited misfortune
11. Instantly then my cockerel
12. Raise the scallop,
13. Shout and startle
14. And it will turn into that place.”

3-1-1
6-3-1
10-2-1
7-1-2
3-1-7
8-1-1
10-4-1
10-4-1
1-1-6
5-1-1

Comic fortune telling

Option 1. Fortune telling on "Kinder"
Well, these are eggs, so it suits us on the topic. You need to purchase them from different series to get different figures. Children and adults are equally interested in unfolding and examining toys, then making assumptions about events in the new year. Someone got a mole with a trowel? Well, construction ahead, what else. Pretty doll in pink It really depends on the guesser. We predict a lot of toys for the girl in the new year. The girl is a success and a lot of fans. Adult family park - the birth of a daughter or granddaughter. Something like this.

Option 2. Here is the subject, and in it - a hint
Keys, magnifiers, screwdrivers, nipples, coins, key chains, stationery, kitchen items, vitamins, concert tickets, hand expanders, music sheets, comic banknotes, cosmetics, etc. are wrapped in opaque paper. We usually put a basket on the floor and ask the youngest children to draw a "year prediction" for each guest. Everything will be fine for everyone and with health, and with work, and with creativity, and with prosperity. love, luck, home comfort, theater visits, sports success.

Cook river by sheet music

Option 1
You could see such a competition in the program "Moscow Evenings". One player is shown a card with the name famous song, he must replace all the words with crowing, and the rest try to guess. For example, “Two funny geese lived with a grandmother” will sound something like this (imagine that I sing to you): “Kukareku-ku-ka, crow-ku-ka, ku-ka re-ku, » Well, etc.

The songs should be very popular: “The Solar Circle”, “Kalinka”, “Katyusha”, “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest”, Jingle Bells, “Somewhere in the World”, “Antoshka”, “But We Don't Care”, “ Call me, call me”, “Three white horses”, “It's time to rejoice”, etc.

I advise you to give the players exactly the most meaningful phrases from songs, otherwise they can remember for a long time how the chorus begins in the song of the musketeers.

Option 2
I also saw this in some entertainment show. There, they took a few lines from the chorus of a famous song in advance and translated them into English, Chinese, French, etc. through Google Translate. The received text was again passed through this service in reverse side, i.e. translated into Russian. The result is always funny, sometimes it's hard to guess what song it is.

For example, I posted an example of the song “About Hares”, starting with the words “But we don’t care”, in Google Translate. First she translated into Hebrew, then from Hebrew again into Russian. Here's what happened:

And we don't care.
And we don't care.
Let's not be afraid of the wolf and the owl.
Are we by chance?
In the freezing hour
We are magic.
We mow the lawn.

Or here. I took the chorus of Dolina’s song “Weather in the House” and translated it first into Romanian, then into Armenian, then again into Russian:

Basic weather in the house
And more and more noise
Me and you and everything but
Easy to fix with a drop away from removal.

I think it's funny! So you can translate 4-5 famous songs, amuse your guests. It takes no more than 5 minutes to prepare, you just need to pick up songs that your family knows for sure.

Protein and yolk or Everyone dance!

I don't know about you, but it's hard to get our guests out of the table to warm up and dance. You always need to come up with some kind of situation when they simply have nowhere to go.

At the same time, there is nowhere to dance in an ordinary apartment, so we arrange a minute exit for each couple for a solo performance to different music.

How to divide guests into pairs? Here is the most fun. Everything has to happen by chance. Only in this case, in one pair there will be a grandfather and a one-year-old granddaughter, two siblings over 40 years old, a grandmother and a 16-year-old grandson.

To maintain the cock theme, I propose to make simple pictures in the shape of an egg with different middles. Print the same halves of eggs in duplicate and distribute to guests. A pair is made up of guests with the same picture.

The halves will pair up by themselves, everyone will dance.

Musical fragments are selected bright and short. I don’t even download now, I just turn it on from http://muzofon.com/ (in the search on this site, type “dance competition”)

Fanta

Crowing under the table is a classic of the genre. This year we have such fun like never before.

Fanta is now sold ready-made in beautiful design, this entertainment is carried out by children from 8 to 12 years old. Already they strictly monitor that all adults honestly crowed. Task cards can be downloaded from the Internet, even bookstores offer a digital format.

Ryaba hen

If you are celebrating in the country, why not break it up on New Year's Eve. This is the first thing that comes to mind when remembering a simple plot about Ryaba Chicken. “Grandfather beat-beat, didn’t break”, “Baba beat-beat, didn’t break.” And we will break! From a hollow toy, as you know, a bunch of sweets, confetti, small toys spill out. New Year! You can immediately apply crackers.

In an apartment, such a number will not work, it is necessary to break something else. For example, burst at speed small Balloons. They are very similar in shape to eggs.

chicken tobacco

People of my generation remember well the scene performed by the young Leonid Yarmolnik on the program “Around Laughter”, where he showed a fried flattened chicken.

You can offer guests a variant of the game "Crocodile" (there, movements show the names of objects and phenomena without words). Let the guests guess the most common New Year's dishes: Olivier, herring under a fur coat, aspic, cake, champagne, tangerines, barbecue, etc. To demonstrate, call the active player, and show the names themselves to him alone on pre-prepared cards.

What else can you think of?

I didn't want to repeat myself! In case you didn’t spend the family New Year according to my scenarios, here is a short list of the best articles. I assure you, there are a dozen more ideas that can easily be attracted to the celebration of the year of the Rooster.

Games and competitions with the symbols of the "rooster" will certainly decorate more than one New Year's corporate party or a fashionable party. This is a guarantee of good health, good mood, excitement, and just real courage. Games are an excellent medicine, helping to build relationships, resolve conflicts, and communicate with people.

The most "creative rooster"

It is necessary to count the number of guests and divide into pairs: a man - a woman. We will call women "hens", and men, of course, "cockerels". The task for the hens is to make her cockerel look catchy, as bright as possible, more beautiful, more fashionable, cooler. Dressing time - 1 minute, to cheerful, perky music. You can use any materials at hand: scarves, bows, hairpins, elastic bands, decorations, Christmas tree tinsel, unbreakable toys, serpentine, rain threads, and even sweets. More bright, rich colors, shades of fire, fireworks!
The winner is chosen by the audience themselves, preference - the most original, irresistible, with a creative idea "rooster"!

Be careful! Rooster or chicken?

You can attract the whole company of invited people to the game. It will amuse you even more. A circle is forming. The player, turning to the neighbor on the right, whispers one word in his ear: "rooster or chicken" and so on until the last participant. Next, the facilitator asks to remember the word they heard and try to portray it.
"Rooster" - stand on the left leg, and bend the right leg at the knee
"Chicken" - you can’t stand on your feet at all. Note: do not leave the circle!
You will see something interesting! Players will start looking various ways compliance with the rules, all around fuss, pantyhose, The result of such an action can be assumed: a friendly fall to the floor, and maybe such an original invention of a multi-tiered figure. But all the guests are satisfied, there is complete mutual understanding and close communication with each other.

Proud rooster

Divide the guests of the holiday into two teams, each comes up with its own name. Three participants per team are invited. Pairs of opponents line up opposite each other, portraying a proud, important, extravagant, bully rooster. And what is remarkable: they straighten their shoulders, proudly stretch their neck, tilt their torso slightly back, take their hands along the torso, slightly spreading their fingers, one leg, slightly bent, put forward. Vigilantly looking into the opponent's eyes, loudly, expressively pronounce the name of their team. Whoever doesn't laugh wins.

night blindness

Three couples are called, in each a man and a woman. The ladies are blindfolded, and the gentleman attaches clothespins with the help of a leader to his clothes, with the same number for each of them. Music sounds, the lady is trying to find and remove all the clothespins from her gentleman, Who was the very first to complete the task. He is considered the winner.

The first participant starts with the letter “P”, and the second participant starts with “E”, clearly capturing the thought of the previous one, etc. In general, it should turn out to be an original toast-wish.

Oh yes Rooster!

It is desirable to attract as many guests as possible, who form a circle.
A box or bag is brought in in which items of clothing are placed: hats, scarves, laces, skirts, socks, decor elements, underwear details, etc. etc.
Music sounds, everyone dances, passing the bag to each other. Stop! The music is over! The participant, in whose hands the bag, quickly, without hesitation, takes out an object from it and puts it on himself. That's the fun! That's where the excitement is!
When all the items of clothing run out, the result is summed up: “Ay, yes, a rooster! Ay, well done! Just a daredevil!

The greed of the rooster

New Year's fun "Cockfights"

In the bird world, the rooster has a reputation as a desperate fighter and bully. Man, knowing this, came up with a special fun for himself - cockfights. For cock fights, a special breed of fighting cocks was even bred, which are distinguished by their special endurance. They are high in the legs, wiry and very pugnacious. The militant ardor of fighting cocks cannot cool either fatigue, or pain, or hunger. It is believed that the kick of a fighting cock is one of the fastest movements in nature.

Given the reputation of the rooster, you can invite guests to arrange gambling "cockfights" on New Year's Eve, for which 3-4 teams should be formed. The cockfight is based on the plot of a military battle, so the names of the individual stages of the game action and its rules are played up with the involvement of military vocabulary. The cockfight consists of a semi-final and a final. Two teams meet in the final. In a cockfight, a “draw” is unacceptable, therefore, in the event of an equal score, additional questions are introduced in pairs. As a result, the winning team is revealed.

The semi-final includes four rounds:

1. Cock reconnaissance.

2. "Volunteers go into battle ..."

3. Cross fight.

4. All-round defense.

All teams play in the semi-final at the same time. You have one minute to think about the question. Early responses will not be accepted.

Each team is joined by an intermediary appointed by the leader (commander-in-chief), whose main function is to observe the discussion of the issue, the promotion of versions in order to avoid repeating other people's versions in the oral answer.

As many questions are played as there are participating teams. The order of the first answer is determined by lot. In the future, the right to answer passes to the next team in a clockwise direction. The responses of all teams are listened to and accepted without any comments from the leader. If necessary (if none of the teams gave a complete answer), explanations for the answer are made after scoring.

All teams with correct answers will be awarded a point. All disputes that arise are resolved by the “general staff”, which includes the host and his assistants, who assume the duties of an arbitration court.

1. Cock intelligence

1. How can you explain that in a gourmet Parisian restaurant a dish from the left chicken leg is much more expensive than from the right? (The menu gives this explanation: “Chickens stand on their right leg when they sleep, so the meat of the left leg is more tender.”)

2. Due to what ability of roosters did the Americans take them with them to Kuwait, where there were military operations? (Roosters are able to detect the presence of toxic substances in the air and give a signal about it.)

3. Name the time of day that corresponds to the concepts of "first roosters", "seconds", "thirds". ("The first roosters" - midnight, "second" - before dawn, "third" - dawn).

4. How does a rooster sing? Are people unanimous in all countries that he crowed? (No, of course not. The Germans believe that the rooster cries ki-ke-re-ki; in Turkey, the song of the rooster is perceived as "ko-ko-ri-ko"; in the Netherlands - ku-ke-lu-ku; the British are sure that the rooster always says cocktail doodle-doo.)

5. What is common between roosters and the ancestors of the French - the brave Gauls, from whom the Romans suffered greatly? ("Gall" is Latin for "rooster".)

6. What weather forecast does a chicken predict when it perches early? (Frosty weather.)

7. For what purpose did the famous Greek commander Themistocles, going to war against the Persians, include cockfighting in the combat training program?

(So that the soldiers, looking at the fighting cocks, learn from them stamina and courage.)

8. What was the name of the boy who bravely fought on the barricades, singing this song:

They have blue uniforms.

And sabers on the side.

Fire down the line

Crow?

(Gavroche from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.)

9. Which drink in English means "cock's tail"? (Cocktail, the appearance of this drink is associated with merry drinking parties after the completion of cockfights. The owner of the winner treated everyone, mixing alcoholic drinks indiscriminately in one glass, appearance such a mixture was very reminiscent of the multi-colored tail of the hero of the occasion.)

10. Which is lighter: a chicken egg during the incubation period or a newly hatched chicken with the remains of the shell? (Chicken with leftover shells is lighter, as some of the energy was used up in breaking the shell.)

2. Volunteers go into battle ...

Volunteers with fighting qualities from each team take a “fighting stance”: they stand on their right leg, and bend their left at the knee and support it with their left hand by the shin. In this position, jumping on only one leg, the roosters try to make the opponent stumble and stand on both legs - the loser is eliminated from the fight. The neutral zone of battle, about half a meter wide, is clearly marked on the floor. The task of each cock fighter is to push his opponent out of this lane into his territory. The price of each victory in battle is one "grain".

3. Cross fight

In this round, participants will give their own versions of the answer to a common question for everyone: how can chicken eggs be used in life, in addition to their main purpose (to give life to a chicken or use them as

write)? Answers are accepted as they are received. Each a new version- a new "seed" in the account of the team. Who will collect more?

Answer options

Chicken egg can be used:

- in construction, to give strength to the solution;

- as a shampoo:

- for the manufacture of New Year's toys and other handicrafts;

- to improve the singer's vocal abilities;

- as a "heater" for heating the sinuses;

- for the manufacture of egg mosaics;

- in pharmaceuticals, where the shell is used as a source of calcium;

- for copying seals and other impressions with a hard-boiled, peeled and still hot egg, etc.

4. Surround defense

In the center of the circle, a representative of each team alternately takes a place, and the remaining teams form from among their players (one from each team) a circular defense. All participants receive a hard-boiled egg after being blindfolded. Next, the circle "comes into motion", and the center tries to strike at random on chicken egg, which is in the hands of one of the opponents. The same (relative to the participant in the center) tries to do every player standing in the circle. The victorious "seed" is counted to the team whose representative manages to hit the target first - to break an egg from the opposing team. New participants from each team take part in each next stage of the all-round defense. The leader directs the fighting, at whose signal the duel begins and stops.

Final battle

The two teams with the best results will advance to the final. The battle is organized with the participation of all the intellectual forces of the team according to the rules of "cock reconnaissance", an odd number of questions (5-7) are played out, dedicated to the outstanding Rooster commanders, who are invited to recognize by description.

1. Count Rymniksky, Prince of Italy. He created an original system of views on the methods of warfare and combat, education and training of troops. Didn't lose a single battle. He won victories with a huge numerical superiority of the enemy. Contemporaries wrote about him that "he laid his hand on the heart of a Russian soldier." Behind him were ready to go into fire and into water. He received the rank of field marshal, and was later promoted to generalissimo. Who is it? (A.V. Suvorov.)

2. “The beauty of the Russian troops,” the officers said about him. Prince, commander, general, he came from a Georgian royal family. During the war with the Tuoks, Brailov and Izmail took over. Brilliantly proved himself in the war of 1812. He was mortally wounded on the Borodino field. (P. I. Bagration.)

3. Great army builder. AT Patriotic war 1812 chief of staff of the 1st Army, in 1813-1814 - division and corps commander. The famous conqueror of the Caucasus. For patronage of the Decembrists in 1827 he was dismissed. (A.P. Ermolov.)

4. Hero of the Civil War. He commanded a detachment, a brigade and the 25th rifle division, which played a significant role in the defeat of the troops of A.V. Kolchak. Killed in battle. His image is captured in the story of D.A. Furmanov and the film of the same name. (V.I. Chapaev.)

5. A political and military figure who possessed the qualities of an outstanding commander. In 1909-1910 he was twice sentenced to death. During the Civil War - commander of the army, the Southern Group of Forces, the Eastern and Turkestan fronts. In 1924-1925, Deputy Chairman and Chairman of the Revolutionary Military Council of the USSR, then People's Commissar for Military and Naval Affairs, at the same time Chief of Staff of the Red Army and Head of the Military Academy. He was engaged in the formation of the Soviet military doctrine. (M. V. Frunze.)

Dance of love

Roosters are gallant gentlemen, let's learn good manners from them. By lot, choose a rooster from the male half of the guests, and a chicken from the beautiful half. Their task is to show the scene of courtship and declaration of love with the plasticity of the dance and with the help of clucking. You can hold such a competition among several couples. When determining the winner, the variety of gestures and the accuracy of imitation of the cock's manner in the manifestation of subtle feelings are taken into account.

"Grain to Grain"

They say about roosters that they will always find precious grain in the manure. Remember from Krylov: “Tearing a pile of dung, a rooster found a pearl grain”? Approximately the same problem will have to be solved by guests who prefer quiet board games. In the center of the table are "grains" - separate words from which participants must make "pearl grains" - proverbs and sayings about roosters and hens. These are the rules of this game.

The facilitator distributes to all players one card with the main word written (in the subject function) from the proverb. If there is no subject, a card is issued with one of the words related to the words "rooster" ("chicken"). The card also indicates the number of words in the phrase, excluding conjunctions, prepositions and particles as independent words. The remaining components of the proverbs lie interspersed in the center of the table (each preposition, conjunction and particle are written separately). After the distribution of the leading words, each participant takes three cards. Having considered the lexical material in hand, each player is obliged to throw into the general pile one extra, that is, not suitable in meaning, card. This continues until the "seeds" form the original proverb. To control the course of the game, they are issued by its manager.

Thematic competitions for the New Year 2017 in kindergarten

Not only educators, but also parents can turn a children's holiday party into carefree fun. To do this, it is enough to tell the host in advance a couple of thematic competitions for the New Year 2017 in kindergarten. Throwing artificial snowballs, tangerine relay, role-playing humorous scenes and much more will easily amuse the kids, relieve tension and excitement before the performance, plunge into the amazing atmosphere of New Year's magic and winter wonders.

"Fast smart guy"

Santa Claus - a cheerful old man? - Yes. - Likes jokes and tricks? - Yes. - Do you know songs and riddles? - Yes. - Eat all your chocolates? - Not. Will he light the Christmas tree for the children? - Yes. - Hide threads and needles? - Not. Doesn't he age in spirit? - Yes. Will it warm us up outside? - Not. - Joulupukki - Frost's brother? - Yes. - A rose bloomed under the snow? - Not.

"Tangerine Relay"

For the competition for the New Year 2017, it is necessary to put two stools in the hall with a distance of 5-6 meters. On the first chair you need to place two bowls of tangerines, on the second - two empty plates. A pair of participants, armed with tablespoons, must transfer the same number of tangerines from full bowls to empty ones as quickly as possible. The winner will be the one who copes with the task faster than his opponent.

"I'll freeze!"

This competition is suitable for the youngest kindergarteners. The kids take hold of the handles and lead a round dance around Santa Claus. And the old man, in turn, threatens to freeze everyone and everything. To the music, the grandfather says loudly: “I’ll freeze, freeze, freeze my ears.” In response, the kids should let go of the neighbor and take hold of the ears. Then Santa Claus continues: “I’ll freeze, freeze, freeze my heels.” The children react accordingly. The game continues for another 5-6 approaches (with cheeks, knees, noses, etc.).

Funny contests for the New Year 2017 for schoolchildren

Unlike other school concerts that are coming to students during the school year, the New Year celebration is not aimed at a massive demonstration of talents, but at entertaining and amusing children, parents, and teachers. So, you can’t do without funny competitions for schoolchildren for the New Year 2017. Considering the standard nature of the annual school scenarios, parents have the right to intervene in time and advise the organizer of several options for suitable games and competitions. Successful offers will certainly diversify the classic matinee with unprecedented fun, sincere children's laughter and real magic.

The coolest contests for the New 2017 Year of the Rooster for a fun company

The most fun and frank contests are usually held on New Year's Eve 2017 in a fun company of adults. Where there are no children and teenagers, and adults are already a little tipsy. If the boss is a cheerful and creative person, he will also be happy to take part in humorous parodies, funny New Year's relay races, drawings and lotteries with symbolic prizes.

"New Year's chimes"

To do corporate party in honor of the New Year 2017 even more fun and humorous, we recommend holding a simple contest. At the entrance to the festive hall, you need to put a "ticketer" with homemade lottery tickets. Each new guest must buy a ticket with a task and exact time for its execution. There is also a symbolic amount of winnings for a task completed on time. Participants do not consult among themselves about the received missions. Secrecy and punctuality are the most important rules. The prize fund is formed from the box office from the sale of lotteries. The essence of the competition lies in unexpected curiosities and unplanned fun. It's funny, however, if in the middle of the toast, at exactly 22.43, the accountant Vasily Arkadievich gets up and starts crowing loudly for the whole room or dancing "can-can" at the bar counter.

"New Year's turnip"

Turnip - claps, beats his knees with his palms and says "both-on";

Grandfather - rubs his hands with the words "Tek-s";

Grandmother - shakes her fist at grandfather and says "I would kill";

Granddaughter - shrugs her shoulders with the words "I'm ready" (it is better to give the role to the most brutal man);

A bug - scratches behind the ear, saying "Fleas got it";

Cat - wags her hips with the phrase "I'm on my own";

Mouse - shakes his head and says "Finished";

The facilitator lines up the characters in a row and begins to read the tale. Participants play their roles accordingly: Grandfather ("Take-s") Planted a Turnip ("Oba-on"). Turnip grew up (“Both-on!”) Big-very big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Oba-na!”) Pull. Pulls, pulls, can't pull. He called Grandfather (“Tek-s”) Grandmother (“I would have killed”), etc. A complete apotheosis begins from the moment "Grandfather for Turnip, Grandmother for Grandfather, Granddaughter for Grandmother ..."

Comic contests for the New Year 2017 for a small friendly company

Friends, as a rule, are not shy, not embarrassed, sincerely show emotions and have fun. Active and mobile humorous games and contests for the New Year 2017 are a real find for a small team that knows how to "come off to its fullest"!

"Drunken Checkers"

For the game, they use a real board for checkers, and glasses are used as pieces. On one side are stacks of red wine, on the other - with white. Further, everything is the same as in a regular game: he cut down a pile of the enemy - he drank it. The strongest masters international class can pour cognac and vodka. But even they will not be able to master more than three games of a drunken tournament.

"Drunken Reciter"

Once upon a time in the cold winter time,

I came out of the forest; there was severe frost.

I look, it rises slowly uphill

Horse carrying firewood.

And, marching importantly, in serenity,

A man is leading a horse by the bridle

In big boots, in a sheepskin coat,

In big mittens ... and himself with a fingernail! ...

Each of the participants must read funny lines using the intonation of one of the characters:

football match commentator;
a guest reading a toast to the hero of the day;
a young romantic who confesses his love;
a strict judge announcing the verdict;
little frightened child;
a director reading a notation to an employee;

"Most dexterous"

There are three girls in the competition. At the command of the leader, the ladies put on men's gloves, then shirts. The task for the participants is to fasten the buttons on the shirts as quickly as possible without removing the gloves. The winner of the competition receives a prize - a set of needles and threads or a nail file. There is not much difference, since both options will be appropriate.

Mobile contests, games and entertainment for the family for the New Year 2017 of the Rooster

As you know, on New Year's Eve we eat a lot of delicious and satisfying food. After that, we feel the awakening laziness and a feeling of tiring heaviness. To drive away the passive mood, we recommend having fun outdoor contests, games and entertainment for the whole family for the New Year 2017. So the festive night will become much brighter and more fabulous, and the calories eaten will melt in a matter of minutes.

"Grab it"

This competition is very similar to the traditional game - round dance around the chairs. Simply put, its funny variation for the New Year 2017. But in this case there are no chairs. An exceptionally round table or stool with a tray on which cool attributes are laid out: huge glasses, false mustaches, etc. Participants move around the table to the music, and after a pause, they take apart and put on funny little things. Whoever gets nothing is out!

"Under the chimes"

All family members and guests of the holiday are divided into two teams. The host gives the captains a box of Christmas tree decorations. The smallest member of each team will play the role of a festive spruce, the rest will have to dress up. Toys, garlands and tinsel can be hung on fingers, ears, buttons, etc. As soon as the presenter turns on the recording with the chimes, the participants rush to decorate their impromptu Christmas tree. The winner of the competition is the team whose creation will turn out to be the brightest and most amusing until the last strike of the chimes.

"Snow Candy"

To participate in the competition, the host selects two participants. Pre-hostess lady hides in deep bowls with flour chocolate candies in such a way that only small tails of wrappers stick out “from under the snow”. At the command of the host, players must get the maximum amount of candy from flour using any part of the body ... Except for the hands!

Intellectual competitions for children and adults at home for the New Year of the Rooster 2017

Such entertainment will set the guests in the right mood before the start of outdoor games, warm up and incite children and adults. These include humorous riddles, song competitions, funny fortune-telling and other contests for the New Year 2017, proposed by us below.

"Alphabet Toast"

Such a fun competition for the New Year 2017 will be a good warm-up before active games and a great opportunity not to get bored at the table at the very beginning of the meal. The organizer of the holiday can invite guests and family members to take turns speaking short funny toasts “in alphabetical order”. For example:

“Fragrant tangerine-orange New Year 2017 to everyone!”
“Perfect order in the house, in the family, in the head, in the heart!”
"Let's drink to great achievements and fun events!"

"All the way around"

Guests can participate in this competition without getting up from the festive table. The rules oblige the contestants to answer the host's questions quickly and WRONGLY. In fact, the task is not difficult. But only in the event that we are not talking about typical popular questions, to which the answer breaks out by itself. For example:

What is mom's name?
What holiday is today?
What color is the sky?
What does New Year 2017 smell like?
What season is it in the yard?
Who did the children make out of snow?
What is the name of Santa Claus's granddaughter?
What lies under the tree?

Cool contests, games and entertainment for the whole family for the New Year 2017

New Year's Eve is still in full swing, and all the gifts are open, toasts have been said, surprises have been received? Keep holding cool New Year's contests, games and entertainment for the whole family. Have fun and have fun while there are those who want to participate. When else can adults fool around on a par with children, if not on the magical New Year's Eve 2017.

"New Year's Podium"

The number of participants in this competition should not exceed half of those present. Each player draws a secret card with a character's name. For example, Santa Claus, Snowman, Rooster, Drunken Horse, etc. After evaluating their character, the players must defile him with a gait on an impromptu catwalk. And the audience - to guess the hero as quickly as possible. The participant who will be declassified before the rest will win.

"Deer and Santa"

In this competition, participants compete in pairs: one of the duo is Deer, the second is Santa. The deer is blindfolded and two laces are attached to the belt. Santa stands behind and picks up the ends of the laces - the reins. With the help of pins or empty bottles, the leader organizes two tracks. On a signal, couples start: Santas control the Reindeer using improvised reins. The duo that knocks down the minimum number of obstacles on the way wins.

The traditional and still the best solution would be to spend the New Year in the family circle, where only the most beloved and close people are present. But still, it will be boring just to sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertainment television programs. It is much more interesting to arrange some exciting New Year's contests for the whole family at home, in which both adults and children can participate on an equal footing. Arranging New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite the family even more closely and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.

"Relay of memories"

Usually, before the New Year's Eve, people see off the outgoing year, summing up its results. It can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the outgoing year, and pass the baton to another. Those who could not quickly pick it up and continue with their memories become the loser, but for this they are awarded the title of “lucky 2017”. At the same time, the manifestation of a sense of humor by the audience is welcome.

"Draw a Dream"

When choosing New Year's contests for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Its participants are provided with sheets of paper and felt-tip pens, colored crayons or pencils. Then they are blindfolded, and after that they blindly have to try to draw their dream. When all the participants have finished their work, they take off their bandages and, together with other guests, try to guess what kind of dream was depicted on each canvas. The winner of the competition receives a small prize, and the rest of the artists have to believe in the realization of their dreams in the coming year.

"Funny drawings"

You need to get a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, in the middle of which make two holes for the hands. Then the participants of the competition should alternately stick their hands into these holes and, not seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun adult competition for the New Year is won by the one who gets the most beautiful or funny drawing.

"Not a Word of Truth"

The host for this competition must prepare in advance many questions on the New Year theme, for example:

which plant is more often decorated for the New Year;
whom it is customary to sculpt from snow;
what is our most "New Year's" film;
that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
whose year is coming according to the Chinese calendar;
who we see on TV screens last in the outgoing year.

It is possible to include questions on the topic of guest habits or New Year's traditions in family competitions at the New Year's table. different peoples. In general, the more questions there are and the more diverse they are, the more interesting it will be for everyone to participate in this competition.

The host should quickly and in a major way ask his questions, and the guests should answer them in such a way that there is not a word of truth. A gaping player who has told the truth is waiting for a fanta - to sing a song, read a poem or fulfill the wish of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeits.

"Christmas Talisman"

Thinking over the script for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative bias. For example, make a New Year's talisman from stationery (adhesive tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of molding a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from the proposed materials in 2-3 minutes. The winner is the one who not only designed the most impressive talisman, but also accompanied it with the most convincing or original explanations on why it is needed.

"Remembering the Alphabet"

Such entertainment can be included in New Year's competitions for an adult company. In the midst of the feast, the host turns to the guests and says that he has taken so much that he has already forgotten the alphabet. On this occasion, he proposes raising glasses and making toasts to the New Year, which should begin in alphabetical order. Next comes the turn of the guests, who must invent toasts, starting with the letter "A" and then alphabetically. For example, these:

Why don't we repeat it for the New Year?
Be healthy in the coming year!
To your health!
Brilliant thoughts for everyone this year!

When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is delivered, everyone should vote for the most successful or cheerful toast and drink to the health of its author.

"Make your favorite cabbage"

Agree that the funniest novelties of adult contests for the New Year should be held with the participation of couples. The essence of entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here, preliminary preparation is required - in a large bag you need to put a variety of clothes, preferably incompatible in style, color, etc. Thanks to this, the “outfit” will turn out to be very funny, it will cause fun for all guests.

You can add competitive principles to this game by having different couples compete in the speed of dressing. And at the end of the competition, until the wonderful outfits are removed, you can pose in front of the camera in them.

"Snowballs"

Such funny New Year's contests for children and adults, like playing snowballs, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going out into the street. Before each participant, you need to put a large pile of old newspapers, after which the presenter marks the time in 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as much snow as possible.

There is also a more dynamic version of the game of snowballs, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, put the participants in a row and put a personal bucket at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple the newspapers, forming "snowballs" and throwing them into their basket. After a minute or two, the game stops and the baskets are checked - the winner is the one whose catch is richer.

"Frost Breath"

For this fun entertainment, you need to line up everyone in front of an empty table, on which to lay out small snowflakes cut out of paper. Then, on command, all participants begin to blow on their snowflakes with all their might, trying to make them fall from the opposite end of the table. As soon as the last snowflake falls from the table, the competition ends. And the winner, unexpectedly, is the one whose snowflake lasted the longest on the table - all thanks to his frosty breath, because of which it froze to the table.

Be sure to take a couple of contests from our article "Children's Contests for the New Year", then neither adults nor children will be bored.

"Secret Name"

Competitions for the New Year in the family circle on this topic can have two options. On the back of each family member participating in the game, you need to attach a piece of paper on which his new name will be written (you can use the name of an animal or the name of a well-known person). And then throughout New Year's Eve all those gathered can hint to each other on new names. The one who first guesses what his name is now will become the winner of this fun contest.

In the second version of this game, everyone can ask himself suggestive questions regarding his name, but should receive only one-word answers like “yes” or “no”. In the end, he will be able to guess his new name, and then the turn to guess passes to another player.

"MPS"

When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by such entertainment:

A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all participants in the game - the guesser can ask any questions to any of those sitting at the table in any order, but he will receive only “yes” and “no” answers. It is also impossible to try to guess what MPS is by spelling. Then, for a moment, the player leaves the room, and it is explained to all participants what MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, keep in mind his neighbor on the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, then the answers to the same questions from different participants may be different (for example, for some it is a man, and for others it is a woman), which only confuses the guessing player. By the way, not everyone, in the end, manages to guess what MPS is.

Check out our article “Competitions for the New Year's Corporate Party” - perhaps you will also find suitable contests for the family circle in it.

"Surprise Ball"

Fun contests for the New Year for the family can beat wishes. To do this, you need to place pieces of paper with written wishes in advance in rubber balls and then inflate them. Each household will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read a wish for the coming year for everyone.

"Funny Numbers"

Everyone who celebrates the holiday needs to be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone writes any number. After that, the host begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the number written on the sheet will be the answer. Suitable questions are required here, such as:

What time do you get up?
How old are you?
How many chili peppers can you eat in one sitting?

"Twins"

This game is one of the most funny contests for the new year for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: a mother with a son or a father with a daughter. With one hand, the couple hugs the waist, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the “Siamese twins” will need to cut out the figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the second will manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figure will turn out to be more successful will win.
