Good afternoon, dear readers!

With the New Year approaching, a fun time of games, entertainment, songs, dances and gifts begins for children.

However, for adults, and especially for cultural workers, this is another test of strength, because you need to prepare a script for a matinee, rehearse, find costumes and, most importantly, figure out how to entertain the kids near the New Year tree.

So that the kids at the matinee do not have to be bored, we present New Year's games for children near the Christmas tree. I hope this collection will be useful to you.

Many of us remember the Soviet-era New Year parties. Competitions and entertainment were pretty monotonous.

True, some of them have already become a real tradition, and modern children also look forward to familiar songs, round dances around the Christmas tree and games with Santa Claus. The most popular of them are still:

• Round dances to the songs "Little Christmas tree" and "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."
• "I will freeze": it is usually performed by Santa Claus. He runs past the guys who put their hands forward. When Santa Claus approaches, hands must be hidden. The one whose hands Grandpa touches, drops out and stands in a circle. The "frozen" will have to recite a rhyme or sing a song. This competition, like the next one, is held to music.

• "Mitten". Santa Claus passes a mitten to the guys in a circle. It is important to quickly pass it to the next participant without dropping it. If someone's mitten falls, this participant is eliminated and stands in a circle, and the mitten “travels” further.
• Herringbone, light up! This remark is always accompanied by the end of the New Year's party. Children call Santa Claus together. When he comes, everyone shouts together: "Herringbone, light up!" The tree is lit only for the third time, after which the final song of Santa Claus sounds, gifts are handed out.

These entertainments create a kind of "backbone" of the holiday, without which the New Year is simply unthinkable for children. The organizers and creators of the matinee script can "string" any variants of competitions on it.

In room

If the matinee is held in the premises of a kindergarten, school, you can use the following selection of contests:

Low and high herringbones

The game can be played with musical accompaniment. The guys stand in a circle, Santa Claus or another hero is located in the center. At the command "high fir-trees" the participants raise their hands up, "low" ones lower them down.

Whoever does it wrong or is late goes into the circle. After the end of the game, the children in the circle are asked to tell a rhyme, sing or dance. Small prizes must be prepared in advance for the speakers.

Snowballs

Snowballs are made from crumpled sheets of white paper. The competition can be held among two teams. It can have various options. For example, you can scatter lumps on the floor and ask the teams, while the music is playing, to collect snowballs in baskets.

Whose basket has more snowballs, that team won. Another option is snow basketball. The guys are getting into a column. Each participant is given a lump, which needs to get into a basket standing at a distance. The team with the most snowballs in the basket wins. The winners will receive mini-prizes.

Guess what's in the bag

Various things are put into the sack of Santa Claus. Children should feel by touch which gift is in the bag.

Pass the orange

The competition can be held in teams or in a circle. The task is to pass the orange to the next participants without using your hands. The further the orange goes while the music is playing, the better.

Fishermen

Christmas tree toys are placed in a large box, on which loops are made in advance. The guys are given fishing rods with hooks. The task is to pick up as many Christmas tree decorations as possible.

Such funny contests and games will not let your kids get bored and will make the New Year truly festive!

Outdoors

If you started a matinee on the street, you will have to change the script a little and include other games and entertainment in it:

Shoot a snowball

Several willing participants are selected. At the command of the presenter, music plays, and the children must roll a snowball during this time. Whoever gets the best wins.

Small towns

One team builds a snow fortification. The other must conquer him. Snowballs are used, with which the participants try to break through the fortification.

King of the hill

A snowy rise is being built. One of the participants gets to the top, while others try to pull him out of there. Whoever succeeds in this, himself becomes a "king", the game starts all over again.

Accurate shooter

Targets are set. The task is to hit the target with snowballs.

Such entertainment can be carried out with children after the traditional matinee. They will amuse the kids and prolong the New Year's fun.

So we learned with you what games for the New Year you can play with the children near the Christmas tree. Both children and adults can play, this will only make it more fun.

Upcoming holidays!

Ekaterina Chesnakova was with you with games, nursery rhymes and crackers.

The most fabulous holiday of the year is just around the corner, which means it's time to think about entertainment: games and contests for children and adults. Perhaps the New Year is the most family holiday, when all family members get together to share the joys of the outgoing year, remember what happened to them and dream about what will happen in the coming year.

Of course, the menu and setting of the New Year's table are very important points, but if a merry New Year is planned, then you cannot do without entertainment! We have prepared for you 20 of the best New Year's games that will please not only children, but also adults.

# 1 Guess how much

For this competition you will have to prepare in advance. You will need a container, inside which a number of identical items will be placed (for example, a basket with tangerines). The container should be in the most conspicuous place so that each of the guests can take a good look and appreciate it. The task of each guest is to guess how many items are in the container. You will also need to prepare a box where each of the guests will throw a piece of paper with their assumption and signature. The winner is the one who indicated the number closest to the result.

# 2 Memories

The game is suitable for children from 6 years old. You will need 10 to 20 different items. All participants are called to the table, on which the objects are laid out, and carefully study them for one minute. You can only study with your eyes. Then the items are covered with a towel, and the participants are given a sheet of paper and a pen. The task of each player is to write as many items as possible from those that were on the table.

# 3 Sticker Stalker

The game is suitable for a large company. At the beginning of the holiday, each participant of the event is given 10 tags-stickers, which must be pasted to other guests throughout the evening. The main condition: the one to whom you are going to stick the tag should not suspect anything. If you are unlucky and the victim discovered your plans, then you become a victim, and the one who caught you can openly stick one of his tags to you! The winner is the one who gets rid of the tags issued at the beginning of the holiday before the others.

# 4 Hot potato with a camera

Suitable for a large company. All guests must gather in one place. To the music, everyone hands over a camera to their neighbor. The moment the music stops, the one who has the camera in his hands has to take a funny selfie and exit the game. The winner is the one whose camera it is, because now you have a whole bunch of funny photos of your friends!

# 5 Take off your hat

Ideal for large companies. The essence of the game is that each guest must have a hat. Better to prepare in advance and buy (make) paper caps for each guest. The essence of the game is that at the beginning of the evening everyone puts on their caps together. The party hat must be taken off, but this must not be done before the host (host of the party) takes off the hat. You take off your hat somewhere in the middle of the evening. Attentive guests will notice, but the one who is busy telling his interesting stories from last year is likely to become a loser, because he will be the last one to take off his hat, if at all!

# 6 Who am I?

Great game for the whole family. Each player is given cards on which the names of celebrities, fairy-tale characters, writers or other famous people in your environment are written. Each participant cannot read their card, but must stick it on their forehead. Asking leading questions to a neighbor, to which he can only answer "Yes" or "No", you need to determine who you are according to the inscription on the card.

# 7 Explain to me

A game for all age groups. You will have to prepare in advance. You will need a few with simple words and a stopwatch. Participants must be in pairs. Each pair is given a piece of paper with words. One person from a pair reads the words and tries to explain them to his partner without using the name of this word and the same root words. For everything about everything, each team has a minute. The winner is the one who can explain the most words in a minute.

# 8 Broken phone, pictures only

Suitable for all age groups. You will need several participants (at least 5-7 people). Each is given a sheet of paper and a pen. On command, each participant writes a proposal on his sheet of paper. Any that comes to mind. When the sentences are written, the sheet is given to the neighbor on the left. Now in front of you is a piece of paper on which your neighbor's proposal is written. Your task is to illustrate this sentence. When everything is ready, you wrap up the proposal so that the neighbor on the left receives a piece of paper with only your drawing. Now the task is to describe in words what you see in the picture. This is repeated until the sheet with your first sentence comes back to you. At the end, you will have an equal number of players sheets with mind-blowing stories in pictures and descriptions! It's funny to read what was in the first sentence and how the development of thought went!

# 9 Crocodile

Of course, you shouldn't ignore the Crocodile game. For those who do not know or do not remember the rules: the essence of the game lies in the fact that one person explains to the others the word he was thinking with the help of gestures. It will be symbolic to make up only words related to the New Year theme. In addition, if only people who are well acquainted with each other are present at the holiday, you can imagine whole life situations that all participants in the event are well aware of. For example, if you are celebrating the New Year with colleagues at work, it is quite logical to think of some significant event for you, say, the celebration of last year's corporate party, when Irina Petrovna danced an excellent striptease.

# 10 Guess the word

Another exciting game for New Year's Eve, in which all guests can take part. The essence of the game is that guests need to guess a word or name only by consonant letters. You will have to prepare in advance by choosing a topic and preparing several variants of words.

Theme: New Year Movies

Tasks: krnvlnnch (carnival night); rnsdb (irony of fate); mrzk (Morozko); lklhmt (shaggy Christmas trees); dndm (home alone), etc.

# 11 Draw what I described

The game is suitable for both children and adults. Players need to split into pairs. A pair of players sit with their backs to each other. One player in a pair is asked to take one thing out of an opaque bag. After that, his task is to explain to his partner as much as possible what he is holding in his hands. At the same time, it is impossible to name a thing, just as one cannot use words of the same root.

# 12 True and False

Another New Year's game that both adults and children can play. So, one of the players is telling two truths about himself and one lie. The task of everyone else is to guess which of what has been said is a lie. The move goes to the one who guessed the lie first.

# 13 Things that ...

Suitable for a large company. All participants are encouraged to write things on a piece of paper that make them feel or do something. For example, things that make me smile / be happy / sad, etc. After everyone has written the answer, the papers are collected and the answers are read aloud. Now the task of each player is to guess whose answer was read.

# 14 Snowflake Race

If a large number of children are expected at the New Year's party, then you should pay attention to outdoor games. Divide the guys into teams, a large paper snowflake is issued for each team. The essence of the game is to bring the snowflake on the head to a certain place, and then pass it to another participant. The winner is the team that completes the task faster. When a snowflake lies on your head, you cannot touch it with your hands.

# 15 Cookies on the face

An excellent game not only for children but also for adults. You will need cookies, so prepare ahead of time. A cookie is placed on each participant's forehead. The challenge is to move the cookie into your mouth without hands.

# 16 New Year fishing

A very entertaining game for participants of all ages. You will need Christmas lollipops. One lollipop is tied to a stick, and the rest are placed on the table so that the curved part extends beyond the table. The task of the participants with a lollipop, which is tied to a stick, is to collect the rest of the lollipops without using the hands. Participants hold a stick with lollipop in their teeth.

# 17 Snowball fight

Perfect fun for the whole family. You will need ping pong or tennis balls, plastic cups, paper tubes, and a long table. Plastic cups are glued to one of the edges of the table (on tape). At the other end, there are players whose task is to roll balls into plastic cups. Only air can be used! Players blow through paper tubes onto balls, trying to direct them in the right direction. If the ball falls, you will have to start over. The one who copes faster wins.

# 18 New Year's balance

Another active team game. Participants must be divided into teams of two. You will need a thick cardboard cylinder and a long stick or ruler. The cardboard cylinder is placed vertically on the table with a ruler on top. The task of each team is to place as many Christmas balls as possible on the line so as not to upset the balance. You will have to work harmoniously, because if you hang the ball on only one side, the balance will be disturbed!

# 19 Unpack the gift

You can entertain guests at a New Year's party with another entertaining competition: who will unpack the gift faster. You will have to prepare a well-wrapped gift and ski gloves in advance. The task of the participants in ski gloves is to open the gift. The smaller the box, the more interesting!

# 20 Find the word

Another game that kids will love. In advance, you need to prepare cards with letters, and participants should make up as many words as possible from these cards. You can write, for example, 10-12 words of New Year's theme, and then cut the words into letters, mix them up and the competition is ready. Alternatively, you can simply write words on a piece of paper, mixing letters, and the participants must guess what the word is (for example, nikwegos is a snowman).

In general, there are countless ideas for New Year's contests and games. You can use our selection, or you can turn on your imagination and give yourself and your guests an unforgettable evening!
