You have already started preparing contests for 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, even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with the TV will help to save, not to mention a party for 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, raise their glasses for the new year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into natural course parties.
2. Prepare the props. Having decided what you will be playing at home for the new year, make a list of what will be required for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to thematic 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 New Year's 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, write or print them in advance on ordinary cards, 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 most simple new year games and all sorts of contests are those where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be offered to burst balloons, inside which there will be wishes.
It is necessary to prepare a large bunch of balloons in advance (their number should be more numbers guests, just in case), inside which little 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-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 Favorite number(or whatever number 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 in advance New Year's questions such as:
What tree is traditionally dressed up for the holiday?
... which film in our country symbolizes the new year?
... what is customary to launch into the sky in new year's eve?
... who is molded out of snow in winter?
... who on TV appeals to the Russians with 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 speaking a word of the truth.
Anyone who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, according to 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 year 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 teams are tasked with building 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 take an active part 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 be simultaneously 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 view mother's mother, who sincerely speaks 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 Battle on the Ice in your own living room - 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 improvised 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 like 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 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 host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say big and beautiful toast- and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. 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 holidays, 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 "Wow!"
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 everyone present is to make toasts to each letter of the alphabet, and then choose a winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for, becomes it!
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 presenter walks 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 your guests by showing that you need to use all the words, and the stranger the news, the more interesting.
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. JUMP 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 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 passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!
And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - someone has time to draw several miniatures, someone has enough time to sketch 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 presenter 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 on 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. Good way to occupy the guests - to give them some kind of tasks, but after all, few people want to just 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 do not write 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. 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 - they throw some notes into the hat in advance, and then 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 occurs.
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 small company of any age - of course, a student is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, but 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, the 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. SPREADING ROLE
You can start fun 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 the Snow Maiden, the snow queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Distribute small paraphernalia to all guests that will be appropriate for their role that night - for example, the snow queen a crown will do, 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 speak to toast or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2018 and New Year's dances.
R. "PHOTOPROBE"
What kind cool contests for the new year 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;
... most good grandfather Frost;
... the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
... the most overeating guest;
... the happiest guest;
... the most cunning Baba Yaga;
... the most evil Kashchei;
... the most powerful 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 will 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 it 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 present them to all the guests.
Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in an opaque package, or a box made by yourself, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags tied with a thick thread or ribbon.
As pleasant little things 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 you will 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!
We start preparing for the New Year
Never in my life have I seen that at the end of November they decorate Christmas trees, decorate the city with garlands, light up holiday inscriptions, preparing for the New Year. Some nonsense! At work, in children's center, the forest beauty is already standing, and Entrance door semaphore garlands. I went to the hairdresser - the same picture: tinsel, sparkles, beads, a tree, a garland, New Year.
Why did everyone start decorating the Christmas tree so early? - I ask.
I want a holiday, we are already tired of terrorism, deaths, exorbitant prices, there is absolutely no positive in life, - the hairdressers answered unanimously.
And that's true. New Year is always positive, relaxation, joy, gifts, even despite the prices, champagne, fireworks and all that. We, Russians, simply have to think about the positive, so let's get ready for the New Year all together.
New Year's contests at the table
New Year - family celebration, and it is so important to preserve and pass on traditions. In every family, the New Year is about the same: they set the table, dress up in their best or new costumes and sit down long before the chimes. And in many families they also try to spend Old year"In Kamchatka", "in Vladivostok", "in Kazakh", etc., and in order not to get drunk, I propose to hold simple games and contests in anticipation of midnight. All these fun were repeatedly carried out by my acquaintances in different companies: in the family, among friends, in whole student groups, and even teachers were involved. The main thing is fun, festive and you forget about everything!
Striptease competition
Two participants are selected, two chairs are placed in front of the guests. Several buttons are placed on the chairs under rags or thin towels. They include striptease music. The task of the participants, moving their booty on the chair, is to guess how many buttons are hidden under the towel. Of interest is the very process of movements to the music. The winner receives a prize. Then the next two participants will perform.
Student game "Don't be stupid"
To play you will need a deck of cards, the number of participants is unlimited, but it is better when there are more from 8 to 20. It is held at a set table with filled glasses of champagne. Before starting the game, you should read the rules. The cards are mixed in the deck: sixes, sevens, tens, jacks, queens, kings, aces (of all suits, except for eights and nines). The cards are drawn one at a time, one at a time.
Ace- you miss a turn.
King- the toast is pronounced by the neighbor on the right and drinks one.
Lady- raise a toast and drink it yourself.
Jack- you come up with what the neighbor across the street will do after you say a toast and drink, for example, dance “macarena”, sing a song, or, before each drink, utter a tongue twister: “The Greek was driving across the river ...” or any other.
10 - the players quickly raise their hand together, whoever raised the last one says a toast and drinks.
7 - enumeration of items on a specific topic, for example, "car brands", at a fast pace, everyone in turn is named by the brand of the car, whoever repeats or thinks for more than 3 seconds - raises a glass and drinks (the topic can be any).
6 - the player thinks of what to do to the neighbor on the left before he says a toast and drinks, tasks can be different, for example, everyone who raises their glasses should not forget and be sure to say the same ritual phrase: "Kh ... yes, be all healthy, vigorous, young, cheerful and happy! ”and after that everyone should clap their hands three times. You can tell a joke, eat two tangerines, smell a neighbor's sleeve, etc., you can think of anything.
Game "Sticker"
The number of participants is unlimited, but preferably from 5 to 15. You can decide in advance on the theme of the game, for example, "Pets", "Wild plants", "Heroes of fairy tales", to make it funnier, you can come up with a funny theme, for example, "Reptiles", "Tools", etc. Players sit in a circle, each with a sticker attached to their forehead with a name, for example, "baobab", "crocodile", etc., depending on the theme. Each of the participants does not know what is written on his forehead, but he sees the inscriptions on others, he can ask a question, for example: "Am I a human being?" The remaining participants should only answer "yes" or "no". If the answer is yes, the active participant has the right to ask one more question: "Am I kind?" etc. In case of a negative answer, the move goes to the next participant, who asks similar questions, and the previous opponent reflects on the next question. And so on in a circle until each of the participants guesses correct name myself. The game is aimed at developing thinking, both logical and figurative.
Competition "GOURMET"
Participants are blindfolded and asked to try and guess what is put on the plate (each has its own personal one). Then the contestants are given a list with the names of the tested products, and they put down in front of each name the number under which, in their opinion, the treat went. Products must be purchased in advance, you can use several categories of products, for example, nuts or dried fruits, berries.
Participants' task- remember and recognize the taste of the presented product. This competition can also be called educational, because here you can get acquainted with the taste of new dishes.
Contest "Siamese twins"
Two pairs of participants are chosen, they go out two by two to the center of the room and stand side by side, holding hands. The touching hands are tied, and with their free hands, that is, one of the participants with the left and the other with the right, must wrap a gift in a pre-prepared bundle, tie it with a ribbon and tie it with a bow. Fans can support the players with shouts and applause. Whose couple will cope faster and better - wins a prize. The most interesting thing is observing the awkwardness of the players' movements.
Game "Coin"
Two participants are selected, always a guy and a girl. The guy lies down on the floor, a coin is put on his stomach than less coin, the better, the complexity of the game depends on its size. A girl lies down on top of it, tightly closing the coin. They should turn over so that the coins are on the girl's belly. If the coin falls, then the player to blame for the fall must kiss his partner. If the pair has done well, it gets a prize and has the right to choose the next pair for the "experiment".
Game "Impatiens"
4-5 girls are selected and stand in a row. Men (4-5) are blindfolded and hands behind their backs. In turn, each of them approaches the girl and must, without the help of hands, only with the help of one head, guess which girl is in front of him. Hands are tied, so men have to literally lick and sniff their partner. Everyone just falls with laughter from this "sentimental" picture. The winner, the one who guesses all the girls correctly, will receive a prize.
Game "Hat"
Participants are divided into two teams: one at one end of the table, the other at the other. In advance, on pieces of paper, each player writes his own name. You can choose a specific theme: heroes of Dostoevsky's novels, cartoon characters, actors, etc. Papers are placed in a header (hence the name of the game) and shuffled. Then a player of one of the teams draws out a piece of paper and tries to describe the character with words without naming him. You cannot use single-root words and say which letter the word begins with. The use of synonyms, metaphors, detailed explanations is allowed. You cannot directly name the title of a work, cartoon or movie in which the character participates.
Players of the other team must guess the name of the hero. 2 minutes are allocated for the description of each hidden hero. If they guessed it during this time, the next piece of paper is pulled out by the next player of this team, who describes the dropped character, etc. If, after the appointed time, the player has not been able to explain the next word to the opponents, then the card is returned to the cap. If the team of the counterpart has not guessed the encrypted image within the agreed time, the move goes to them (and the card is returned to the hat), that is, the players of this team take turns pulling pieces of paper out of the hat and describing the hero. The opposite side of the table is guessing. If the player has violated the rules, the card is removed from the game. it intellectual game and is aimed at mental activity, it lasts until there is not a single card left in the hat. You can replace verbal descriptions with pantomime, it will be even more interesting.
We begin preparations for the New Year.
Never in my life have I seen that at the end of November they decorate Christmas trees, decorate the city with garlands, light up holiday inscriptions, preparing for the New Year. Some nonsense! At work, in the children's center, there is also a forest beauty, and the front door is semaphores with garlands. I went to the hairdresser - the same picture: tinsel, sparkles, beads, a tree, a garland, New Year.
Why did everyone start decorating the Christmas tree so early? - I ask.
I want a holiday, we are already tired of terrorism, deaths, exorbitant prices, there is absolutely no positive in life, - the hairdressers answered unanimously.
And that's true. New Year is always positive, relaxation, joy, gifts, even despite the prices, champagne, fireworks and all that. We, Russians, simply have to think about the positive, so let's get ready for the New Year all together.
We hold contests for New Year's table.
New Year is a family holiday, and it is so important to preserve and pass on traditions. In every family, the New Year is about the same: they set the table, dress up in their best or new costumes and sit down long before the chimes. And in many families, they also try to spend the Old Year “in Kamchatka,” “in Vladivostok,” “in Kazakh,” and so on, and in order not to get drunk, I suggest holding simple games and contests while waiting for midnight. All these fun were repeatedly carried out by my acquaintances in different companies: in the family, among friends, in whole student groups, and even teachers were involved. The main thing is fun, festive and you forget about everything!
Striptease competition.

The task of the participants, moving their booty on the chair, is to guess how many buttons are hidden under the towel. Of interest is the very process of movements to the music.

To play you will need a deck of cards, the number of participants is unlimited, but it is better when there are more from 8 to 20. It is held at a set table with filled glasses of champagne. Before starting the game, you should read the rules. TOarts are mixed in a deck: sixes, sevens, tens, jacks, queens, kings, aces (of all stripes, except for eights and nines). The cards are drawn one at a time, one at a time.
Ace - you skip a move.
King - toast is made by the neighbor on the right and drinks one.
Lady - raise a toast and drink it yourself.
Jack - you come up with what the neighbor opposite will do after you say a toast and drink, for example, dance "macarena", sing a song, or, before each drink, utter a tongue twister: "The Greek rode across the river ..." or any other.
10 - the players quickly raise their hand together, whoever raised the last one says a toast and drinks.
7 - enumeration of items on a specific topic, for example, "car brands", at a fast pace, everyone in turn is named by the brand of the car, whoever repeats or thinks for more than 3 seconds - raises a glass and drinks (the topic can be any).
6 - the player thinks of what to do to the neighbor on the left before he says a toast and drinks, tasks can be different, for example, everyone who raises their glasses should not forget and be sure to say the same ritual phrase: "Kh ... yes be everyone is healthy, vigorous, young, cheerful and happy! ”and after that everyone should clap their hands three times. You can tell a joke, eat two tangerines, smell a neighbor's sleeve, etc., you can think of anything.
You cannot tell, if a person has forgotten, then he is dull, and will drink until he remembers how it should be. If suddenly he missed something or did it in the wrong order, he says a toast again and drinks, but he must remember what he did wrong and do everything right. The goal of the game is to be careful and not make mistakes in extreme conditions. Champagne can be replaced with other drinks, including non-alcoholic ones, but it will not be so interesting with them. The rules can be complicated at your discretion. Fantasy is welcome.
Game "Sticker".
The number of participants is unlimited, but preferably from 5 to 15. You can decide in advance on the theme of the game, for example, "Pets", "Wild plants", "Heroes of fairy tales", to make it funnier, you can come up with a funny theme, for example, "Reptiles", "Tools", etc. Players sit in a circle, each with a sticker attached to their forehead with a name, for example, "baobab", "crocodile", etc., depending on the theme. Each of the participants does not know what is written on his forehead, but he sees the inscriptions on others, he can ask a question, for example: "Am I a human being?" The remaining participants should only answer "yes" or "no". If the answer is yes, the active participant has the right to ask one more question: "Am I kind?" etc. In case of a negative answer, the move goes to the next participant, who asks similar questions, and the previous opponent reflects on the next question. And so on in a circle, until each of the participants guesses the correct name for themselves. The game is aimed at developing thinking, both logical and figurative.

Contest "Siamese twins".
Two pairs of participants are chosen, they go out two by two to the center of the room and stand side by side, holding hands. The touching hands are tied, and with their free hands, that is, one of the participants with the left and the other with the right, must wrap a gift in a pre-prepared bundle, tie it with a ribbon and tie it with a bow. Fans can support the players with shouts and applause. Whose couple will cope faster and better - wins a prize. The most interesting thing is observing the awkwardness of the players' movements.
Game "Coin".
Two participants are selected, always a guy and a girl. The guy lies on the floor, a coin is put on his stomach, the smaller the coin, the better, the difficulty of the game depends on its size. A girl lies down on top of it, tightly closing the coin. They should turn over so that the coins are on the girl's belly. If the coin falls, then the player to blame for the fall must kiss his partner. If the pair has done well, it gets a prize and has the right to choose the next pair for the "experiment".
The game "Impatiens".
4-5 girls are selected and stand in a row. Men (4-5) are blindfolded and hands behind their backs. In turn, each of them approaches the girl and must, without the help of hands, only with the help of one head, guess which girl is in front of him. Hands are tied, so men have to literally lick and sniff their partner. Everyone just falls with laughter from this "sentimental" picture. The winner, the one who guesses all the girls correctly, will receive a prize.
Game "Hat".
Participants are divided into two teams: one at one end of the table, the other at the other. In advance, on pieces of paper, each player writes his own name. You can choose a specific theme: heroes of Dostoevsky's novels, cartoon characters, actors, etc. Papers are placed in a header (hence the name of the game) and shuffled. Then a player of one of the teams draws out a piece of paper and tries to describe the character with words without naming him. You cannot use single-root words and say which letter the word begins with. The use of synonyms, metaphors, detailed explanations is allowed. You cannot directly name the title of a work, cartoon or movie in which the character participates.
Players of the other team must guess the name of the hero. 2 minutes are allocated for the description of each hidden hero. If they guessed it during this time, the next piece of paper is pulled out by the next player of this team, who describes the dropped character, etc. If, after the appointed time, the player has not been able to explain the next word to the opponents, then the card is returned to the cap. If the team of the counterpart has not guessed the encrypted image within the agreed time, the move goes to them (and the card is returned to the hat), that is, the players of this team take turns pulling pieces of paper out of the hat and describing the hero. The opposite side of the table is guessing. If the player has violated the rules, the card is removed from the game. This is an intellectual game and is aimed at mental activity, it lasts until there are no cards left in the hat. You can replace verbal descriptions with pantomime, it will be even more interesting.
P.S. I wish everyone to choose fun to their liking and meet the New Year in a great mood!
There are plenty of rounds that can be played right between toasts without interrupting your holiday banquet. Most of them require props that can be easily found in any apartment.
- Anglers. You will need a rope about a meter long, two pencils or ballpoint pens and dried fish. In the absence of a fish, it completely replaces it Christmas tree decoration... The rope is folded in half to determine where the middle is, and at this point the fish is tied by the tail. The pencils are tied to the ends of the rope and given to the players. At the signal from the referee, the fishing players quickly wind the rope around the pencils, and the one who gets to the catch first wins.
- Guess the guest. The presenter prepares pieces of paper with inscriptions, which he attaches to everyone's forehead using thin adhesive tape. The most different words the more bizarre the better: Godzilla, bread slicer, Harry Potter owl, last year's snow. Players must guess what is written on them using questions that can only be answered "yes" or "no."
- Two truths. Good game for a company in which not everyone has gotten to know each other properly. Each of the players reports three facts about himself, and only two are true. The rest, by voting, try to guess the false message.
Guests-intellectuals can be offered linguistic games based on the search for any special words. For example, in turn, for each letter of the alphabet, make toasts or find a serving item, dish, small item on the table. The masters of the poetic word may be instructed to compose a burime on this topic.
Advice. Do not forget to prepare in advance more small prizes: sweets, calendars or candles.
Crocodile - a reason for laughter for the whole evening
Is there a game that doesn't get boring for hours? There is, and it is called - "crocodile". The beauty of this game is that it is remembered in moments of calm in order to raise the tone or defuse the situation. The rules must be explained to the guests at the beginning of the party and then enjoy the fun even until the morning.
You need a regular clothespin to play. Players are divided into categories:
- leading;
- "hunter";
- "victim".
The host chooses the time for the next round and the "hunter" to whom he hands over a clothespin. The "hunter" assigns himself a "victim" and invisibly clings a clothespin to her clothes. After completing this mission, the "hunter" gives a sign to the leader, and he announces: "The crocodile has escaped!" and starts counting down from ten. If during this time the “victim” finds a crocodile on himself, the “hunter” will have to drink the penalty, if not, the winner's laurels will go to her. The clothespin returns to the presenter, and he cunningly waits for the next opportune moment.
Advice. Think of the crocodile in the middle of another game, and a burst of fun will be guaranteed for a long time.
Drove - a fun relay race for a men's company
If there is a couple of radio-controlled cars in the house where the New Year is celebrated, then you can play the carrier. To do this, the participants will have to leave the table and even move it aside or move to a more free room, where there is no carpet on the floor. There should be at least two people willing to compete in driving dexterity, but it is better to split into two teams to get a real relay race.
The referee prepares a track for cars, preferably with obstacles in the form of shoes or boxes that will need to be bypassed, marks the start and finish points. He puts a shot of vodka on the cars. At his signal, the players drive their cars along the track, trying not to spill the contents of the piles. The remote control is passed from player to player, the last of which drinks what is left in the pile. The team that managed to deliver more vodka to the destination wins. If you like the game, you can diversify it by loading the cars with sandwiches for a snack.
Advice. Since the liquid from the glasses will still spill, you will have to prepare a rag for cleaning, it is advisable to take the containers themselves unbreakable.
Christmas tree in a youthful way
The meaning of this venture is that girls play the role of Christmas trees. To transform them into a symbol of the new year, many small unbreakable toys are prepared in advance, for example, foam toys, to which they are attached with threads stationery clips for papers.
Several pairs are playing. Young people are given boxes of toys and blindfolded. Per certain time they should attach as many toys as possible to the girls' clothes. Spectators assess the degree of elegance of the newly-minted Christmas trees and choose a pair-winner.
Of course, any game can be modified based on the preferences of a particular company. The main thing that new Year party did not wither after the chimes, but for a long time seethed with the joy of a friendly atmosphere.
Games for adults for the New Year: video
The New Year with the smell of pine needles, tangerines and gifts is getting closer and closer. It's time to think about how you would like to spend this wonderful magical holiday.
There can be many options. If you decide to celebrate this New Year with your family and close friends, then it's time to start preparing New Year's contests for your company. Competitions for the new year should be fun, "winter".

Organizing New Year's contests great importance has their versatility. Competitions for the new year should attract and interest both the adult and the child (if their presence is also expected).
New Year's contests at the table ... or near it
In a jar
For clarity, you can put on the table three-liter jar... The task of all those sitting in turn is to name any items that fit in the container. The competition can be complicated by saying that these items must be somehow related to the New Year. Then the fun begins. The guests name the item and reasonably prove that this is a New Year's thing.
New year alphabet
Everyone sitting at the table should congratulate all the guests, but his toast begins with a specific letter from the alphabet. And you don't have to choose - everyone knows the alphabet, so the letters go strictly in turn. It's funny to watch how some heroes try to remember what letter he got.
What's in your pants
Sitting at the table, the guests pull newspaper quotes from the host's bag. It will be more interesting if, instead of a bag, you glue such an envelope-pants. The guest rises and artistically declares: "And in my pants ..." The end of the sentence is the phrase he fished out. Of course, the presenter will have to try first, but the result is worth it.
"A" and "B" were sitting at the table
The competition is held between teams, each of which is invited to choose any letter of the alphabet. And now each team in turn names the dishes they know, which begin with its letter. The winners are those who answered last.
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.
Chocolate bar
The presenter conventionally divides the table into two teams, each of which gives out a chocolate bar. The task of the participants, after taking a bite, pass the chocolate to a neighbor, but without touching him with his hands. The winner is the team that eats the chocolate first, without cheating anyone. The last participant makes a sign and the whole team shouts in unison: "Happy New Year!"
Sweet couple
The game goes in a circle. Each participant names a famous, famous, fabulous or real couple. The presenter starts a conversation and says: "Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden." And then everyone demonstrates their intelligence. The winner of the competition is the one who names the last pair.
In zoo
Each participant writes the name of the animal on a piece of paper and puts it in a common box. Now anyone who wants to pulls out one note and, without reading, attaches it to his forehead. Asking leading questions to the audience, he must guess which animal he is representing. Then the next guest is given a chance, etc.
