Competitions for the New Year 2019-2020 New Year's games and entertainment
How to prepare for competitions and games for the New Year?
1. Make a plan for games and competitions. It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
2. Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play for the new year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
3. Stock up on prizes. People love to receive small funny surprises - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It is better to take prizes in reserve.
4. Choose music.
5. Prepare a place for games.
6. Identify your helpers.
Game “Repeat after Grandpa”
This is an active and fun game, and both children and adults can play it. This game is about attentiveness. Santa Claus stands in front of the children and says that he will teach them to dance in the Santa Moroz style. The children are interested in what kind of dance this is. The Snow Maiden explains that you just need to repeat the movements of Santa Claus.
- Clap those parts of the body that I show you.
For example, Santa Claus says:
“Palms!”
The children clap their hands. And then suddenly Grandfather calls the head and slaps himself on the shoulders. Children should not get confused. All movements are performed to the music.

A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party. We offer you great ideas for fun games and competitions.
Game "Attach the Snowman's Nose"
This game will delight both kids and teenagers and even Santa Claus. The Snow Maiden brings whatman paper with a Snowman drawn on it, but without a nose. The nose sculpted from plasticine needs to be placed on the Snowman. The child is blindfolded, spun around several times and directed towards a Whatman paper with a Snowman attached to the wall. It is very rare that someone manages to put their nose in the right place. The game continues until the nose is placed correctly.

Competitions for the New Year 2020 - 2020 for a fun company are the coolest
Competition "Let's Sing"
Number of players: Any No props needed. Uses your own vocal cords.
Essence: Participants are divided into 2 teams. One “choir” must take turns asking a question, remembering a line from the song. For example: “What should I give you, my dear man?” Opponents quickly find the answer - a line from another piece of music, for example: “A million, a million, a million scarlet roses...” The last team to answer wins. You can make the task more difficult by choosing only New Year's questions.
Competition “What is my name?”
Number of players: Any. Props: Cards made of paper with funny words on them (for example: lemur, bread slicer, bulldozer, cutie, etc.), of course not names.
The essence: Everyone receives a new name for the evening - a corresponding sign is attached to their back. The players' task is to find out their name from others. Questions can only be answered with “yes” and “no”. The winner is the one who first guesses the inscription on his sign.
Competitions for corporate events for the New Year 2020 - 2020 (Year of the Rat)
Let's celebrate the 2020 Year of the Pig with a fun competition).
Relay race "Pig's hooves"
Props: for this competition you will need paper cups (insert ribbons or strings along the edge of the glass on both sides into the slot, secure with a knot from the inside).
Essence: Guests are divided into two or three teams, depending on the number of people. The first players in the team are given cups, they stand on them, and take the ropes in their hands. On the contrary, there should be a space limitation, for example, a chair, 5-7 meters away. The first participants, accompanied by music, slide to the obstacle, go around it, return to the team and pass the cups to the next participants. The team that finishes the relay first wins, but points can be deducted for accuracy of execution.
Competition "Advertising"
Two young men are called. The presenter asks them to choose one lady from the audience. Then the presenter asks the question: “Why exactly did you like this girl? Viewers choose - eyes, hairstyle, shoes, etc. Now the task of the participants is to come up with an advertisement for this part of the body, an item of clothing. The most creative advertisement wins.
Competition "Negotiations with polar bears and penguins"
An interesting and fun competition to “stretch” the brains of the whole team. Guests are divided into teams of approximately 5 people. All teams receive the same task: they will negotiate with polar bears and penguins in the same room, but bears are predators, and penguins are birds. In theory, the former should eat the latter. But here you can relax, no one will eat anyone. And the teams will have to answer in a minute of discussion why they shouldn’t worry, because 100 percent of the time, polar bears won’t eat penguins. There will be plenty of options. Ah, here is the correct answer and it is quite simple. But it’s unlikely to come to mind right away - polar bears won’t eat penguins, because the former live at the North Pole, and the latter at the South Pole, and in principle cannot eat each other, so the meeting will go peacefully. And, if suddenly, the team answers correctly, of course, they will receive a prize.
Fun entertainment for corporate events
If you want your corporate party to be fun and unforgettable, pay attention to some exciting games.
1. Mandarin relay.
We offer a very interesting version of this entertainment, which requires two teams with the same number of participants. Each team represents a player who puts a tangerine in a spoon and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with the spoon and back to their team without dropping the citrus - if this happens, then the loser with the spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The team that can complete the task first will win. Please note that when carrying a tangerine, you cannot hold it with anything.
2. Bottle.
This is a fairly famous game that marked the beginning of many office romances. Be that as it may, it's really fun entertainment. So, at least 4-6 people take part in the game, who should sit in a circle, after which one of them spins a bottle lying in the center of the circle clockwise. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person to whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer) will point. After this, the bottle is offered to be twisted by the one who came under “her sights.”
3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work.
Many of us have a positive attitude towards various kinds of predictions, and some even believe in them. The New Year has long been directly connected with all sorts of fortune-telling, and let your corporate evening be no exception, despite the fact that the predictions will be made in a comic form. How exactly to give forfeits is up to you to decide. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make special, rather simple cookies with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about an increase in salary, about new ideas, and the like.
4. Lottery competition.
A very interesting lottery that will certainly evoke positive feelings among its participants. Having made a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their own craft, packaged in a colorful wrapper. However, for this draw it is not at all necessary to use crafts - we can talk about souvenirs or sweets in a certain price range. Stick numbers on all the packages, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each lottery participant will have to draw his number from a special bag or just a hat.
5. Game “I have never...”
A very popular and exciting game that you could see in some foreign films. Each participant in the festive evening must utter a confession phrase that begins with the words: “I have never...”. Example: “I have never slept in a tent.” People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Next, the next party participant makes a certain confession, and those guests to whom the next confession is not related again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be funny, but each time they should be more and more personal, for example: “I have never slept naked.” However, you shouldn’t get too carried away, so as not to give away your biggest secrets.

If, after tasting a little of everything that the hospitable hosts offered, the guests begin to get bored, immediately start games at the New Year's table. They will help entertain everyone, the table will be interesting and fun.
Competition "Say a Toast"
The host invites each participant to come up with a toast, but it must begin with a specific letter of the alphabet. The first one comes up with the letter “A”. “And I want to drink to good luck in the coming year!” The second one starts with the letter "B". “Let's all be happy and rich!” The next one starts with the letter “B”. “Let’s drink to our dear hostess!”
The guests will begin to have fun when someone has to come up with an original start to the letter “Y” or those toasts for which it is difficult to quickly come up with an initial word. The author of the most interesting toast wins.
Competition "Burst the Ball"
Many family fun competitions for the New Year are organized with balloons.
In this case, you first need to put small notes with funny riddles in them, and then inflate the balloons. During the fun, the host distributes them to the players. Each owner must burst the balloon and take out a note from there, read the riddle out loud and answer it. If someone finds it difficult to answer, then he will have to complete a penalty task invented by everyone. Riddles need humor, for example:
What can a student envy a lizard? (Tail throwing speed). How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be completely happy? (One more than at the moment or one more than a friend). Which clock shows the exact time only 2 times a day? (Which stopped). What goes from one settlement to another, remaining in place? (Road). When is the easiest time for a black cat to get into the house? (When the door is open). Who doesn't get their hair wet in the pouring rain? (Bald). Two birch trees grow. Each birch tree has four cones. How many cones are there in total? (Not one, because cones don’t grow on birch trees).
Game “What will I do with the gift?”
You can also use the idea of a magic gift bag in this table game. The presenter has cards on a tray with options for what can be done with the gift received. Each guest draws a card, reads it out, then randomly takes a gift out of the bag and, if desired, depicts the action predicted with it.
This fun is good as a game at the table at any home holidays.
A list of inexpensive little things that you can take as surprises from Santa Claus: a box of matches, a ball, chewing gum, a tennis ball, a lighter, lollipop, a disc, a brush, a pencil, glasses, an adapter, a bag, decals, paper clips, a tea bag, calendar, notepad, postcard, bag of coffee, eraser, top, sharpener, bow, magnet, pen, thimble, toy, bell, etc.
Cards with answer options: What will I do with my gift? I'll kiss it. I'll powder my nose with this. I'll eat it right away with pleasure. This will become my talisman. I'll put it on and admire it. I will share this with friends etc.
Distribution of gifts at the New Year's table “Win-win lottery” Each guest draws (or receives for participating in games and competitions) a lottery ticket with a certain number, each number is a certain prize.

Competition "Get to know a relative"
Funny New Year's competitions in the family circle rarely take place without this competition. Some members of the household are blindfolded and woolen mittens are put on their hands. Then one of the participants in the feast approaches him, and the host invites the player to find out who is in front of him. The player can feel the person's figure without taking off his mittens, trying to guess who is standing in front of him. In fact, even a close and well-known person is not so easy to guess.
Competition "Dance on an Ice Floe"
Any number of male-female couples can participate in the competition. To carry it out you will need newspapers (according to the number of pairs). A newspaper is placed in front of each couple - this is their ice floe. The participants' task is to dance without stepping over the edges of the newspaper. Every minute the ice floe begins to melt, and the newspaper folds in half. Music is constantly changing. You cannot stand; the couple must dance. Participants who step outside the boundaries of the newspaper are eliminated from the game. The last pair remaining wins.

The best short games for Father Frost and Snow Maiden with children at home - examples of team fun
Often, animators are invited to visit several children at once who are gathered in one apartment. For such a company, it is necessary to prepare in advance several interesting, short games that the children will play together with Father Frost and the Snow Maiden.
If the size of the room allows, you can divide the participants into teams or pairs and organize something like a simple competition, where boys and girls will demonstrate their creativity, artistic talents, attention and ingenuity.
Short team games and entertainment for Father Frost and Snow Maiden with children at home
- “Collect a Snowflake” is a simple, fun and active game for two or more participants. To organize, you need to prepare several large paper snowflakes, first cutting them into 5-6 parts. Arrange all the fragments chaotically around the tree or in the center of the room. At the signal, the children will need to find and correctly connect pieces of snowflakes together as quickly as possible. The winner will be the one who completes the task faster than others and folds his snowflake as neatly as possible.
- “Draw a Picture” is a fun activity for several people. All participants are first blindfolded with scarves, and then asked to draw the figure of Santa Claus on whatman paper. The trick is that each child must draw a separate detail of the figure. And since no one is told what has already been depicted, the end result is usually very unexpected. For example, a character will have three beards, two winter hats, or several bags of gifts at once.
- “Flying Snow” is an easy children's game that does not require special training. Father Frost and Snow Maiden hand out weightless and thin snowflakes made of cotton wool to the participants. The children's task is to throw this New Year's attribute up and blow on it with all their might so that it remains in the air as long as possible. The winner will be the one whose cotton snowflake falls to the floor last.

Competition "Hairdresser"
“Victims” sit on chairs, preferably men, of course. At the command of the presenter, young hairdressers must do hairstyles for clients using elastic bands, hairpins and combs. Whoever gets the most creative hairstyle wins.
Competition “Remembering Childhood”
This nostalgic competition for the New Year with family can appeal to different generations. You need to say a phrase or sing a verse or chorus of a song of a famous fairy-tale or cartoon character without saying his name. For example, “I am a man in the prime of life,” “Whoever helps people is wasting his time,” “Normal heroes always take a detour.” If no one remembers who they are talking about, the player who made the guess begins to give clues without saying the name of the hero.
Relay race “Snowball Gatherers”
For the relay race, two large, thick bags are prepared in advance, with slits for the legs at the bottom. In addition to this, you will need foam snowballs. You can replace them with lumps of white paper in the shape of snowballs. Children are divided into two teams. One of the players on each team is given the honorary name “Snowball Collector” and a bag with slots is put on his feet. Cheerful music plays and the presenter throws snowballs on the floor. At the leader’s command, the children begin to collect snowballs, throwing them into the bag of their “Snowball Collector”. At the end, they count whose team collected the most snowballs.
Game "Throwers, knockers, hits"
There is no need for intelligence here, and it is quite possible to entertain guests from 3 to 103 years old. From experience, such competitions sometimes turn out to be very exciting. It’s hard to guess what exactly your guests will like, we’ll just list some options, and you decide on the available props and set aside a place for the game: – If you find some version of darts (magnetic, balls with Velcro), feel free to award a prize to the most accurate, interest in the competition will be mandatory. – Skittles or plastic bottles filled with beans, peas or water are fun to knock down with a rubber ball at any age. Prize for winning New Year's bowling! – Throwing “snowballs” from a newspaper into a basket (what if someone gets a 10 out of 10 result?). Choose the distance yourself.

Short, funny games for Father Frost and Snow Maiden with children at home - examples and descriptions
Inviting New Year's characters to your home is a wonderful winter tradition that has existed for decades and brings a lot of joy and positive emotions to both kids and adults.
Winter guests, appearing on the doorstep of an apartment, bring with them a sense of miracle and provide everyone with the opportunity to relive a magical winter fairy tale once again. And to receive a gift, Father Frost and Snow Maiden invite children to demonstrate their creative abilities or play short, funny games that test attention, speed and ingenuity.
Options for examples of children's New Year's games with Father Frost and Snow Maiden at home
The choice of suitable games that Father Frost and Snow Maiden can offer primarily depends on the age of the intended participants. For children 2-4 years old, the tasks are as simple and easy to understand as possible. For example, guess in which hand Santa Claus hid the Christmas tree toy or collect in 1 minute all the snowflakes that the Snow Maiden scattered on the floor in the apartment.
Children aged 5-7 years are already capable of more complex tasks. They should be asked to read a thematic poem or sing a song, draw a portrait of Father Frost at speed, or solve several winter riddles prepared by the Snow Maiden.
If there is one child in a family, there will be no competitive moment, but if there are two or more children, organizing mini-competitions is quite appropriate. However, all participants will need to be encouraged so that none of them is offended or feels forgotten or deprived. The holiday should evoke only positive emotions and remain in memory as a pleasant, bright and joyful event.
