Children's New Year's games and competitions
We offer you New Year's games for children, which can be played both at home and in kindergarten or at school near the Christmas tree. Among the whole variety of games and competitions, you will certainly find exactly what suits you and will make the New Year unforgettable.
Game “Name the Gift”
Place a lot of toys and figurines in a spacious bag. The child must, with his eyes closed, pull out the object and guess what it really is. If the baby correctly recognizes the figure, then the gift goes to him.
Game "Owl on the hunt"
An “owl” is selected from the team of players to be the leader. The rest of the guys must portray wild or domestic animals: a cow, a bear, a hedgehog, a frog, a rhinoceros, a dog, a hippopotamus. After the presenter’s command “Day!” all the animals are jumping and having fun. After the word “Night!” no one moves, because the owl begins the night hunt for animals. The one who changes his position, blurts out or laughs loses. This animal becomes the prey of a bird of prey.
Racing game "Fish"
The leader forms two equal teams. Each group is given a fishing rod with a small hook on a line. A hoop is placed in front of each team, playing the role of a pond. There are paper fish in the pond. Their number is equal to the number of participants in the game. From each team, accompanied by musical accompaniment, one person goes to the pond to pull out his goldfish. The first move is given to the captains, then to the rest of the participants in turn. The team that is the first to catch fish in its own pond is considered the winner.
Game "New Year's round dance"
One of the most common and favorite children's New Year's games. Children stand around the Christmas tree, holding hands together. A cheerful children's song is played, for example, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest,” “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.” The guys, singing along, move around the tree in one direction, then the direction changes.
"Bring the snowball"
At the same time, two participants must run to the Christmas tree. The difficulty is that everyone has a spoon with an artificial snowball in their hand. At a signal, they scatter in different directions in the direction of the tree. Whoever turned out to be the most dexterous and did not lose his snowball along the way won.
Game "Bouncing Bag"
Two children take part in the race at the same time. They stand in an empty bag and begin to jump into races. The top of the bag is supported by hands. The first person to come running receives a legitimate prize from the presenter.
Game “We are funny kittens”
The guys dance in pairs to an incendiary composition. The presenter suddenly says the phrase: “We are funny kittens.” Immediately all the couples break up, and each individually depicts a dancing kitten. New Year's riddles are well suited for this game. The winners will be rewarded with sweet prizes.
Game "Build a Castle"
Several players participate at the same time. The guys study the drawn diagram of the castle. Each person is given a certain number of plastic cups. Blindfolded, children reproduce the castle from memory. The fastest one wins the competition.
Game "Football with tangerines"
The kids are divided into two groups. Tangerines are placed on a large table. Children must use two fingers to score a goal against the opponent's goal.
Accurate shooter
Select a suitable target. This can be a bucket or basket. The guys must use paper balls (snowballs) to hit the target and earn their team a certain number of points and defeat their opponents.
winter wind
To play, prepare a ball rolled out of paper or a wad of medical cotton wool. Place it in the middle of the table. The goal of the game is for players to try to blow it to the floor as quickly as possible.
Decorate the Christmas tree
Divide the children into two teams. Place a box of Christmas tree decorations next to each team. It is advisable that they are not made of breakable glass. Otherwise, in the chaos they will quickly break. Each team of players is provided with two Christmas trees. Players from each team must run from the start to the Christmas tree and hang the toy taken from the box. The game continues until the decorations run out. The fastest team to decorate their tree wins.
Cap
The guys stand in a circle and pass each other a New Year's cap. All this time there is music playing. As soon as the sounds subside, we see who has the headdress in their hands. Whoever gets caught tells Santa Claus a poem about winter or sings a song.
Build a snowman
First of all, you will need plasticine. The idea is that two people sit next to each other and jointly build a snowman. The task is difficult because everyone uses one hand. One person works with his right hand, the other with his left. Together they should get a New Year's snowman. It's especially fun if there are adults in pairs. The game truly connects and develops fine motor skills.
Cinderella's slipper
The guys take off their shoes and put them in a common pile. Everyone is blindfolded with thick cloth so that no one can peek. The shoes are mixed, then the presenter gives the signal to look for your things. A child with his eyes closed should be the first to find his shoes by touch. In the end, everyone will end up with someone else's shoes. The game is quite funny and active.
Cinderella
For the participants, slides of cereals, legumes and nuts are prepared and mixed. Players must remember the fairy tale “Cinderella” and, like it, but with their eyes closed, separate the ingredients.
Game "Train Engine" with dance elements
Both adults and children can take part in the game. Everyone stands behind each other, placing their hands on the waist of the person in front. Having lined up, the locomotive sets off to the accompaniment of lively music.
Competition "Help Grandfather"
Children are divided into two teams. Their task is to help Santa Claus pack gifts. One person runs a relay race with a bag and puts toys and candies out of it, and runs back. The second participant runs along the same route and collects everything back into the bag.
Game with Santa Claus “Pass the felt boots”
Children stand in a circle. They are given a felt boot, which they pass to a friend to the music. Santa Claus must catch up with his felt boots. You must pass the felt boots quickly, otherwise you may lose. Of course, Santa Claus will give in at first, but it’s better not to yawn.
Collect snowflakes
Tinsel stretches the entire length of the room. Paper snowflakes are attached to it. To make it easier for children, do not try to glue the paper to the tinsel too tightly. They choose two people and blindfold them with a scarf. While the music is playing, the guys must have time to collect all the snowflakes.
Snowballs
White snowballs roll out of paper. For convenience, children are divided into two equal teams. This game can be played in several ways. For example, pour the lumps onto the floor and ask the children to collect them in baskets while playing music. Or another option. Place a basket on the wall and hold a snow basketball competition. Whose team throws the most snowballs is considered the winner of the competition.
Competition "Smeshinka"
A very fun game for little children. Children sit in a circle, and the leader gives each person a new name. For example, a snowman, an icicle, a Christmas tree, a gift, Santa Claus. Then he asks everyone in turn simple questions: “Where do you live?”, “What did you get for your birthday?”, “What is the name of your best friend?”, “What is your favorite dish?” But the trick is that you need to answer the questions with your new names. The same answer is given to every question. It turns out to be a pun, but no one should laugh. Those who disobey leave the circle. The most serious person wins the competition.
Box with a secret
You will need several empty boxes of different sizes. Place the prize in the smallest one. Then place it in another box, and so on several times. Children sit in a circle and pass the box to each other, opening one of them. The winner is the one in whose hands the last one ends up - with the coveted prize.
New Year's auction
Children take turns listing everything that relates to the New Year: balls, gifts, Christmas tree, garlands, snowman, snow, candies, icicles, tangerines. Whoever could not come up with the right word is eliminated from the game.
Snowman portrait
To play the game you will need a large sheet of paper. This is a team game. Children with their eyes closed must draw a snowman. Each person draws a separate part: head, nose, buttons, hands, etc. Then the children are untied and see what the young artists have achieved. Instead of a snowman, you can draw a Christmas tree or the Snow Maiden.
Wrap the gift
2-3 children are invited to participate. The assignment requires them to wrap a gift. But instead of holiday packaging, they are given toilet paper. So the guys compete to see who can wrap the surprise more beautifully. The task is not easy, but quite interesting.
Guess the item
The guys put warm gloves on their hands and put their hands in Santa Claus's bag. With their eyes closed, they need to guess by touch which toy they got in the bag. If they guess right, they take the prize for themselves; if not, they put it back into the bag, and the game continues.
Game "Alphabet greetings"
Children should wish their friends a Happy New Year, but for a reason. The presenter names any letter of the alphabet he likes. And the child must come up with a text for this letter. For example, the letter Z: “Health to you and your loved ones in the new year, happiness, success and a sea of smiles.” To be tricky, the presenter pronounces the letters not in alphabetical order, but out of order. It will be much more fun and spontaneous. Interesting situations occur when the presenter names letters such as Y, ь, Ъ, И.
Training your memory
Children carefully study what hangs on the tree, then turn away. Now they need to remember every detail and voice what they saw. The one who names the most toys wins.
Chef competition
Children are divided into three teams. In a minute, the first team must come up with festive dishes for the New Year starting with the letter “N”, the second team must come up with treats for the Snow Maiden starting with the letter “C”, and the third participants must pamper Santa Claus and come up with treats with the letter “D”. Whoever names the most dishes wins the culinary competition.
Grabbed - won
All kinds of toys are laid out on the floor: balls, dolls, trains, teddy bears. Participants dance around a pile of objects. Then, when the music ends and the presenter says: “Stop!”, each child must have time to grab two toys. Whoever gets one is eliminated from the game.
Glue the nose
On whatman paper they draw Santa Claus in full height, but at the same time they do not finish drawing the nose. Children are invited to fashion it out of plasticine themselves. With their eyes closed, they have to glue the nose into the right place. It turns out funny and fun.
Snowflake
Each child is given a ball of cotton wool. He must make a snowflake out of it by stretching the material beyond the edges. The snowflake must be made very thin so that it can fly up. After preparations, they launch it into the air and try to keep it suspended with their breath. The most dexterous one wins.
Musical hat
Pieces of paper with New Year's words are placed in a deep hat: Christmas tree, snowflake, Santa Claus. The guys take turns pulling them out and singing songs with the indicated words. Children can also recite poems on the specified topic.

Carousel
Chairs are placed around the Christmas tree. But there must be one less than the number of players. Children walk around the Christmas tree, and when the music ends, they try to take the nearest chair. Of course, someone does not have time to find a place and drops out of the game. The most dexterous one receives a prize from Santa Claus.
Winter mysteries
Children sit in a circle, and Santa Claus takes turns showing cards with New Year's motifs depicted: a candle, an Advent wreath, a sleigh, a Christmas tree. The guys must name what is shown and how it can be used.
Another version of this competition is that Santa Claus asks each child in turn riddles on winter and New Year themes. For each correct answer, the player is awarded a chip (coin, card). The one who collected the most trophies will receive the main prize from grandpa.
Portray Santa Claus
It might seem like a simple task, but it has its own difficulties. Two teams take whatman paper each and try to draw a New Year's character without hands. According to the rules, markers can only be held in the mouth.
Blind the winter
A newspaper is spread out in front of the players. It needs to be crumpled up at the command of the leader. One condition - you don’t need to sculpt a big lump, it should fit in the palm of your hand.

Snow Maiden: Grandfather! Can I play my favorite game?
Santa Claus: Can the guys cope with your game?
Snow Maiden: They will definitely cope! The game is called "Snowball".
Everyone stands in a circle and starts passing the snowball to the music. When the music stops, the player who still has the snowball in his hands will have to complete some task. He will pull this task out of the magic bag (dance a dance, sing a song, tell a poem, an anecdote, show an object with facial expressions, etc.). After completing the task, the snowball is passed around in a circle.
(Game being played)
Santa Claus: (Addresses the Snow Maiden and the children) You have a fun game. Do you guys know this game? This game is musical, and it is called “Fir-trees-stumps”. Be very careful in this game. When the word “Christmas trees” is sung, you guys need to raise your hands high up, and when the word “Stumps” is sung, you need to sit down. The tempo increases with each verse. Ready. (Children answer)
(The musical game “Christmas trees and stumps” is played)
Snow Maiden: Grandfather, now it’s my turn to play.
Guys, I suggest you now divide into 2 teams and play the game “Guess the melody”. When the soundtrack of a winter song starts playing, you need to recognize this melody and quickly raise your hand to answer. If you guess the name of the song correctly, you can earn one token. The team with the most tokens wins. And one more condition. After you guess correctly, you need to sing the verse or chorus of that song.

Father Frost:
Well, wow, how many winter songs do you know? You made me very happy!
Guys, I know another interesting game. Shall we play?
(Children answer)
Santa Claus: Many years ago, people believed that by decorating the New Year tree, they were making evil forces kinder. Everyone has long forgotten about evil forces, but the tree is still a symbol of the New Year holiday. I suggest you decorate the Christmas tree.
Game "Dress up the Christmas tree."
Now we will split into two teams. Each team receives a box with Christmas tree decorations. An artificial Christmas tree is placed in front of each team at a distance of five meters. On command, the first players take a Christmas tree toy from the box, and quickly reaching the tree, hang it on a branch. The team that decorates the Christmas tree faster and more beautifully wins.
(Game being played)
Snow Maiden: Well done, guys! You worked very amicably and deftly in teams. We have one last game left, “Artists”.
This is a team game, and since you are already divided into 2 teams, we continue to play. Opposite each team is an easel with a blank sheet of paper. Now we will draw a Christmas tree. But simply drawing it one by one would be boring. Therefore, we blindfold the first players and give them a marker. As soon as the first players have completed the task, we untie their bandages, and tie them with the second, etc. On command, the first players draw a Christmas tree, the second – a star, the third – two balls, the fourth – two icicles, the fifth – two cones, etc. The team with the most beautiful tree wins.
(Game being played)
Snow Maiden: Our festive competition and game program has come to an end. But we have another surprise for you - “New Year's disco”.
Santa Claus: Guys, I have sweet prizes for you.
(Hands out candy to the children)
Snow Maiden: It’s a pity, of course, but we need to say goodbye.
Santa Claus: Other children are waiting for us. See you in the New Year!
(Children greet Father Frost and Snow Maiden with applause; a New Year's disco is held)
Prizes and gifts
What are games and competitions without prizes? Let's figure out what is the best gift to give a child for winning a competition.
There is a universal and familiar reward option - sweets. However, you shouldn’t dwell on it, especially since on New Year’s holidays children already get a lot of sweets, which is not very healthy. Here are a few more gift options that Santa Claus can give to the winners of competitions and games:
- small toys. Depending on the age of the children, these can be small puzzles, cars, dolls, books, soft toys (including in the form of a symbol of the next year), mosaics, construction sets in small boxes;
- souvenirs - calendars, pens, cups. Such souvenirs can be ordered in an individual design with a general photo of the group or class;
- New Year's attributes - Christmas tree toys, snowflakes, figurines of Santa Claus, snowman;
- lottery tickets. Just not the ones sold in special stores, but those made specifically for the occasion. These could be just pieces of paper with numbers, according to which prizes will be drawn at the end of the holiday;
- wish. Comic wishes that can be fulfilled right at the holiday. For example: the child who won the competition makes a wish for the second child to sing a New Year's song or recite a poem. Or a wish for Grandfather Frost to light the lights on the tree or dance;
- target. For example, to rescue the Snow Maiden from the hands of the Snow Queen, or to call the Snowman, or to somehow help out some holiday hero.
We hope this article helps you in planning a fun holiday! Happy New Year!

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.

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.

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.

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.
