New Year is not far off. An important component of an exciting and fun holiday is contests for the New Year. They unite and force the participants of the event to be active.
Some competitions are of a playful nature, others for ingenuity, others for dexterity or quick wits. Do not forget about the existence of erotic contests that are suitable for uninhibited people.
If you want the New Year's holiday to be remembered for a long time, be sure to include several exciting contests in the New Year's program. The photographs taken in the process will remind you of this evening and the joyful atmosphere in many years.
The most fun contests for the New Year
I offer 6 fun contests. With their help, you will cheer up the company, cheer up to the maximum, make the festive team more active.
- “Christmas fishing”. You will need Christmas toys made of cotton wool, a fishing rod with a large hook. Participants of the competition will take turns hanging New Year's toys on the street, and then take them off. The one who completes the task faster than others wins.
- “Funny drawings”. On a large sheet of cardboard, make two holes for the hands. Players will have to draw a Snow Maiden or Santa Claus with a brush, putting their hands through the holes. They can't see what they're drawing. The prize will go to the author of the most successful masterpiece.
- "Frost Breath". In front of each participant, put a large snowflake cut out of paper on the table. The task of each participant is to blow off a snowflake so that it falls to the floor on the other side of the table. The competition ends when the last snowflake is on the floor. The player who takes the longest time to complete the task wins. It’s all because of his frosty breath, because of which the snowflake “froze” to the surface of the table.
- "Dish of the Year". Participants will prepare a dish using products from the New Year's table. A New Year's composition of salads or a unique sandwich will do. After that, a man sits in front of each participant, and all players are blindfolded. The “New Year's hostess” will win, who will feed the dish to the man the fastest.
- "Christmas melody". Put the bottles in front of the contestants and put a couple of spoons. They should take turns approaching the bottles and play a melody with spoons. The author of the most New Year's musical composition wins.
- “Modern Snow Maiden”. The men participating in the competition dress women in order to create the image of the modern Snow Maiden. You can use clothing, jewelry, Christmas toys, all kinds of cosmetics. The victory will go to the “stylist” who created the most unusual and vivid image of the Snow Maiden.
The list doesn't end there. If you have imagination, you can come up with a good contest yourself. The main thing is to make it fun and bring smiles to the faces of participants and spectators.

Competitions for the New Year for children and adults
A real holiday, in addition to noisy pastime at the table, provides for small dance breaks, mass games and various competitions.
The New Year's celebration is aimed at a mixed audience, so choose New Year's contests so that everyone can participate in them. After a half-hour feast, offer guests several musical and active competitions. After a good blur and dancing, they will again return to eating New Year's salads.
I offer 5 interesting competitions for children and adults. I'm sure they will take their rightful place in the New Year's entertainment program.
- "Christmas trees". Participants imagine that they are Christmas trees standing in the middle of the forest. The host says Christmas trees are high, low or wide. After these words, the participants raise their hands up, squat or shrug. The player who makes the mistake is out. The most attentive wins.
- "Dress up the Christmas tree". You will need garlands, tinsel and ribbons. Christmas trees will be women and girls. In their hand they hold the end of the garland. Male representatives decorate the Christmas tree, holding the second end of the garland with their lips. The winner is the couple who will create an elegant and beautiful Christmas tree.
- "Mummy". The contest involves the use of toilet paper. Participants are divided into two teams and a mummy is chosen in them. The rest of the participants will have to mummify her. They wrap the “lucky one” in toilet paper. Teams make sure that there are no gaps between the turns. The team that completes the task faster wins.
- "Twins" . Couples participate. For example, mother and son, father and daughter. Participants hug each other around the waist with one hand. For two, you get two free hands. After the pair have to cut the figure. One participant holds paper, the second wields scissors. The team that makes the most beautiful figure wins.

Instead of money, they put a tomato on a chair. The surprise of the participants will amuse the audience.
Christmas games for kids
The main winter holiday is the New Year, accompanied by holidays, good mood and a lot of free time. When guests gather in the house, New Year's games for children will come in handy.
Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple collective game will be exciting if you play with a friendly company. Children will especially enjoy the competition, the victory in which will bring New Year's gifts.
- "Tiger Tail". Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. The participant standing first in the line is the head of the tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” tends to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the hitch. After a while, the children change places.
- “Merry round dance”. The usual round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone by constantly changing direction and speed. After several circles, lead a round dance with a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.
- "Journey" . Team play involves the use of blindfolds and skittles. Arrange the skittles with a “snake” in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down fewer pins wins the game.
- “Compliment to the Snow Maiden”. Choose Snow Maiden. After invite a few boys who will compliment her. They have to take papers with inscriptions out of the bag and, based on the words that are written on them, say “kind words”. The player with the most compliments will win.
- "Magic words". Divide the participants into teams and hand over a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter reads, there are words from these letters. When such a word is spoken, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and rebuild in the correct order. The team that is ahead of the opponents earns a point.
- "What changed". Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. After the children leave the room. A few toys are outweighed or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.
- “Gift around”. Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. After the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player with the gift left is out. At the end of the game, there will be one player left who will get this memento.

Ideas for the New Year
Waiting for a miracle is a tedious task, it is better to create it yourself. What to do? Imagine yourself as a magician, look around, collect unpretentious objects and create something soulful, shimmering, warm and extraordinary. Need some free time.
- “Christmas balls with fabric appliqué”. To make the Christmas tree stylish and original, it is not necessary to purchase expensive toys. You can create an exclusive design using cheap plastic balls without a pattern. From an old scarf or a beautiful piece of fabric, cut out the same motifs and stick them on the surface of the balls.
- “Christmas tree toy made of orange”. You will need a few oranges, a beautiful elegant ribbon, a pretty string, a couple of cinnamon sticks. Cut oranges into slices and send to dry in the oven. Tie a string around the cinnamon stick and tie it to the orange slice. Make a loop on top. The final touch is a bow tied to a loop.
amazing snowflake
It's hard to imagine a New Year's holiday without a dozen perky snowflakes.
- Cut off the ends of the toothpicks with scissors. With a paper cutter, make a small cut in the middle from one edge of the toothpick. Get the main tool.
- Make some paper blanks. The width of the strip is about three millimeters. The length is equal to the length of the sheet.
- Create a spiral. Carefully insert the edge of the paper strip into the slot on the toothpick and twist into a spiral. Spin the tool, not the paper. Make sure the spiral is as straight as possible. Remove the spiral and put on the table.
- Spread the edge of the strip twisted into a spiral with glue and press it against the spiral. Lightly press the end. Get a droplet with a spiral inside. Make as many of these items as possible.
- The shape of the elements can be changed. During gluing, squeeze the element with your fingers, giving a certain shape. This is how not only circles are created, but droplets and eyes.
- Having prepared the required number of elements, proceed to the formation of a snowflake. Create a pattern from individual elements by fastening with a drop of glue. Get an amazingly beautiful snowflake.
Perhaps my ideas for the New Year will seem too simple. If you do everything right, the result will be very beautiful, with minimal time and money.
Ideas for the New Year with the family
On this day, grandfathers, aunts and parents will gather in one house. It is necessary to try to make the festive night varied and fun. Only advance planning and careful preparation will help in this.
- Prepare a script. Assign each family member to write a short congratulatory speech. Close people are pleased to hear kind words.
- Write humorous toasts on the pieces of paper. During the feast, guests will share their own thoughts and amuse each other.
- Arrange a family interview. A good video camera will come in handy. You can record the wishes of family members on video.
Traditions
- Each family has certain traditions and customs of celebrating the New Year. Some go out and set off fireworks, others visit the main square, others stay at home and exchange gifts.
- Family traditions must be followed. This revives childhood memories when parents tried to arrange a New Year's fairy tale.
- Family New Year is a real celebration of love, at this moment we are surrounded by close people, a joyful and calm atmosphere reigns in the house.
- This evening, give family members as much laughter and joy as possible.
New Year is a holiday when you should not limit yourself to limits. On the contrary, unleash your fantasy and let it run wild. In this case, you get an unusual holiday, a real feast with games, dances, fun, delicious cake.
Good luck in the coming year and do not forget to buy New Year's gifts for your loved ones. Don't go for expensive items. Let them be cheaper, but from the heart. See you!
Many of us think about how exactly to celebrate the New Year long before its onset - but often this only applies to the choice of outfit and festive menu. And yet, the celebration will be much more fun and entertaining if you have prepared exciting contests for the New Year. At the same time, it does not matter at all in which company you plan to celebrate the New Year - in the family circle or with friends - after all, fun is appropriate everywhere.
Of course, it should be taken into account that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes them to panic - treat other people's desires with respect, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active competitions, then do not insist, believing that he will "get involved". In addition, in addition to active and mobile contests, there are others that do not require special movement - for example, riddles for ingenuity. Choose a varied program in which any participant in the celebration will find something interesting for themselves! If you want your fun to be remembered for a long time, then do not forget to take a photo of what is happening. By the way, this task can be entrusted to especially shy guests who do not want to participate in the general "madness" - this way they will feel like a part of what is happening and at the same time not feel tense or uncomfortable. In general, take care of the holiday program in advance, as well as small gifts for the winners, and your efforts will be remembered by all guests for a long time!
Cool contests for the New Year
Competitions for the family at the table
1. New Year's predictions. For this part of the New Year's program, you should prepare in advance. You will have two bags at hand (you can replace them with hats), in which you should put papers with notes. So, put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction in one bag, and with the prophecies themselves in the other. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all the guests take a piece of paper from each. First, the name written on it is read from the first piece of paper, and then from the second, the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are voiced.
2. Honest recognition. This game also requires preliminary preparation - write funny words on small pieces of paper (kikimora, deer, capricious, booger, and so on). So, someone pulls out a candy wrapper with one of the words (for example, capricious), and with a serious face, looking into the eyes of his neighbor, says to him: "I am capricious." If no one laughs, then the neighbor picks up the baton, and this continues in a circle until someone laughs. After that, the fun starts again laughing.
3. Phrases-congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Fill your glasses and make a celebratory toast. Each person sitting at the common table should say the congratulation phrase in turn, but it is important that they begin with letters in alphabetical order (first a toast is pronounced with the letter “A”, the next participant says a toast with the letter “B”, and so on until everyone speaks). The next round of toasts is allowed to start with the letter where you left off. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be received by the person who came up with the funniest toast "for the circle".
4. Guess the riddle. For this competition, you should stock up on ordinary balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the papers and put them inside the balloon, subsequently inflating it. The participant needs to burst the balloon and guess the riddle. If the answer does not sound from his mouth, then he will need to complete the task invented by all the participants in the game. Examples of such funny riddles: “What does a student have in common with a lizard?” (The ability to get rid of the “tail” in time), “How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?” (One pair more than already available), "What goes from one city to another, but remains without movement?" (road) and so on. You can either come up with such riddles yourself or download them below.
New contests for 2018 for adults
1. Drunk checkers. For this entertainment, you will need a real checkers board, only the checkers themselves are replaced by stacks. How to distinguish between white and black new-found "checkers"? Blacks are replaced with stacks of red wine, and whites with white. The rules are the same as in regular checkers, but if you get your opponent's checker, you will have to drink it! Of course, it is not necessary to use wine - it can be any alcoholic beverage, just different in color.
2. Carried. For this competition, you will need two radio-controlled cars. Play, respectively, two people, each of whom puts on his typewriter a pile of alcoholic beverages. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to drive your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks their stack. Then the baton passes to the next pair and so on.
3. What's in my mouth. To conduct a competition for the New Year, prepare in advance a separate container with products that will be used in this experiment, but will not be on the festive table. Let it be seven or eight unusual products. The player is blindfolded, and you give him a taste of this or that food - the contestant must guess at the first attempt what exactly is offered to him. Other products can be used with the next player. Whoever gives the most correct answers wins.
Funny and interesting games
1. Snowballs. The competition will be held indoors, and, of course, not with real snowballs, but there is still an alternative - just crumple napkins or paper towels (this material should be stocked up in advance). You will also need chairs according to the number of players, who, in turn, should be divided into two teams. The contestants of one team stand in a line on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit the opponents with a snowball. By the way, the "targets" have the ability to dodge the snowball. When all the opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams change places. The team with the highest performance will win (more snowballs reached the goal).
2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually used to play ping-pong. The man should roll the ball from the left sleeve of the companion to the right, and the woman should roll the second ball from the right leg of the partner to the left. The team that manages to cope faster wins.
3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. The contestants are blindfolded, and clothespins cling to any part of the clothing of all players. After the beep, you must try to remove all the clothespins from the partner. The pair that completes the task faster than the others wins. Of course, you need a leader who will control this process.
4. To the touch. Two players are blindfolded and put on thick gloves or mittens on their hands. Guests stand in front of each contestant, and 10 seconds are given to guess each guest by touch. Players take turns playing. The participant who completes the task faster will win. Subsequently, the next pair of players is determined.
5. Pop the balloon. For the game, heterosexual couples are chosen, who are given a balloon each. The “props” of the couples must be squeezed between their bodies, and at the sound signal the balls must be “bursted”. The couple that gets it right first wins. This is followed by the second round with a complicated task: you need to “pop” the balls with your backs or even priests.
New Year's contests for a fun company
1. New Year's crocodile. A well-known entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you the principle of this rather simple and exciting game. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which selects one person. The host says a word to the chosen ones, and they must “show” it to their teams without making any sounds. The team that completes the task faster will win. You can play differently - one of the participants "shows" the word to everyone else, and the one who guesses first wins. To avoid suspicions that the word was invented on the go, we recommend that you write it down in advance on a piece of paper. Since we are talking about the meeting of the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic.
2. Bows. Funny and funny fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people, so that they are divided into teams of three. The gender of the players does not matter. One of the participants stands in the middle of the room, while two of his teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and he, on a sound signal, must tie them on the one who is standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, looks for bows by touch and unties them. In the second command, similar actions occur. The company that completes the task first will win.
3. Blind drawing. The competition is played by two people. So, the participants are tied hands behind their backs and placed behind them on an easel. Now the players must arm themselves with felt-tip pens (hands remain behind their backs) and draw on the canvas the symbol of the coming year - the Dog. The rest of the guests should act as fans and suggest in which direction the contestants should draw further - to the left, higher, and so on. The player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018 will win. Then the next pair of contestants enter the game, and the competition follows a similar principle.
4. Hat. Another exciting competition, in which absolutely everyone celebrating can become participants. The essence of entertainment is quite simple - the players must pass each other a hat, putting it on the head of a neighbor without the help of the palms (you can use your elbows, mouth). The one who drops the hat is out. The winner is the participant who ends up alone. Of course, this game is unlikely to appeal to ladies who decide to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles in 2018 imply simplicity and carelessness, so there should not be any particular difficulties.
5. Song in a hat. A very funny and memorable competition, which will especially appeal to people who love to demonstrate their vocal talents. In advance, you need to stock up on small pieces of paper, on each of which you should write a word. Since we are talking about a winter holiday, you can write words related to this topic: Christmas tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer, and so on. Put all these candy wrappers in a hat, and invite each guest to take out a piece of paper in turn. Now the contestant must perform a small song, invented personally on the go, be sure to use the word that he got several times.
Children's games for New Year's celebration
Check out our list of new fun activities for kids.
Draw the symbol of the New Year
As you know, children like to portray various characters, so, for sure, they will take part in this competition with special enthusiasm. Tell the kids that the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018 is a dog, and invite them to depict this animal, as well as talk about it. The participant who manages to most reliably show an adult dog or puppy will become the winner of the competition. However, there may be several winners. Of course, do not forget to prepare some sweet incentive prizes for the most diligent guys.
sweets
This game is more suitable for children of primary school age, and not for toddlers who have just learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment involves a clear coordination of movements and the ability to control their actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first hang a couple of your child's favorite candies on the Christmas tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold the baby and bring him to the Christmas tree, offering to find candy on the tree for a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, not to overwhelm the Christmas tree itself, or not to fall down.
round dance
This game has many variations. For example, "Mice lead a round dance." First, with the help of a counting rhyme, you need to choose a “cat” among the children. "Cat" sits on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. Other participants turn out to be "mice", who begin to dance around the "cat", saying:
"Mice lead a round dance,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Hush mouse, do not make noise,
Don't wake cat Vaska
How Vaska the cat wakes up -
Will break the whole round dance!
When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and, on the last word "Round dance", opens its eyes and runs after the mice that are trying to escape. The caught "mouse" turns into a cat, and so on in a circle.
Drawing or letter to Santa Claus
Most likely, all children will like such entertainment, but for it you should stock up on sheets of paper and felt-tip pens or colored pencils in advance. Tell the children that now they have to prepare a letter for Santa Claus, but you don’t need to write anything in it - you just need a drawing. In this picture, invite the children to depict how they see the coming New Year and what they want. We can talk about some trips, gifts and the like. Immediately specify that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all the desires, but he will still take some of them into account.
Making a snowman
Building a snowman is fun and exciting, even when it's not about winter outdoor activities. For this game you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business, who sit at the table next to each other (you can even hug). Now these players must act as one. Let the right hand of one kid and the left of the other act as if it were the hands of one person - the guys will have to make a snowman out of plasticine in this way. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start acting together, then everything will certainly work out!
Competition for the best snowflake
Most children love to do crafts with their own hands. Tell the children to decorate the room they are playing in with snowflakes. Of course, for this, those very snowflakes will first need to be made. You can show yourself a master class on exactly how to cut these snowflakes, or just set the general direction and let the little ones do their thing. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case do you need to declare it - decorate the room with the snowflakes that they made with the children (stick them to the window, hang them on strings to the chandelier, and so on). Also encourage the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.
Contest - guess the hero
For this activity, have the young participants sit in a circle. Now invite the players to each in turn name the continuation of the name of the fairy-tale character, for example; “Zo (lushka)”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “White (snowball)” and so on. The child who could not give the correct answer is eliminated from the game, but those children who remained continue the competition. It is important for you to take into account the fact that you will have to ask a lot of questions, so you will have to prepare in advance by writing the names of fairy-tale characters on a piece of paper for yourself. If there are many children, then it is not necessary to wait until one winner remains - you can indicate in advance that, for example, the remaining three will win.
hide and seek
Perhaps it is difficult to find a person who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is already hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, up to ten, closing his eyes or hiding in one of the rooms, the other guys scatter around the house and hide. When the set time passes, the child goes in search of his friends - the one who is found first is considered the loser. You can start the game again already on this one, or you can continue to search for other participants. The child who was discovered first, subsequently takes up the search himself, also counting to ten.
Fun entertainment for a corporate party
If you want your corporate party to be fun and unforgettable, check out 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. From each team, a player is put up, who puts a tangerine in a spoon, and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with a 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 manages to complete the task first will win. Note that when transferring a tangerine, nothing can hold it.
2. Bottle. This is a fairly well-known game that laid the foundation for many office romances. Whatever it was, but 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 the 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 whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel will point to (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer). After that, it is proposed to twist the bottle to the one who fell under “its sight”.
3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude towards various kinds of predictions, and some believe in them. The New Year has long been directly associated 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, it's up to you. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make a special fairly simple cookie with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about a salary increase, about new ideas, and the like.
4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery, which, for sure, will cause positive feelings among its participants. Having made a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their craft, packed 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 bundles, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each participant in the lottery will have to pull out his number from a special bag or just a hat.
5. The game "I never ...". A very popular and exciting game that you could see in some foreign films. Each participant in the gala evening must say a confession phrase that begins with the words: "I have never ...". Example: "I've never slept in a tent." People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Further, a certain confession is made by the next participant in the party, and those guests, to whom the next confession is not related, again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be fun, but each time they should be more personal, such as: "I never slept naked." However, you should not get too carried away, so as not to give out your biggest secrets.

In order not to be bored at the New Year's holiday in the company, it is necessary to think over a fun program in advance, which includes interesting contests. As a rule, such moments enliven any event, allow participants to feel at ease, to get to know each other better.
It is desirable that more people participate in entertainment - then laughter and fun will contribute to a good mood on New Year's Eve, driving away boredom and drowsiness.
1. Snowball
The competition can be held while sitting at the table. This is an acquaintance game that, in an unfamiliar company, allows you to remember the names of all party participants, as well as have fun at the very beginning of the holiday.
The first participant says his name. The second participant says the name of the previous participant, as well as his own name. So the game goes on, with each participant the list of names to be pronounced becomes longer and longer.
Then the game can be made more difficult by asking the participants to add to their name also some nickname on the theme of fairy-tale characters, for example, “Peter - Batman”, “Anna - Fiona”, and so on.
In this competition, it is quite difficult to determine the winners, but the process of pronouncing the names will already become real fun.
2. Catch the "snake"
Two participants sit on chairs facing each other with their backs. Under the chairs lies a rope - a "snake", the ends of which pass between the feet of each participant.
At the command of the main leader, the participants must sharply lean forward, trying to grab the rope faster than the opponent and pull it out from under the chair.
The most agile wins - he then competes with the next participant, and so on, until a standout winner is determined.
3. Together we will win the winter!
Everyone pairs up. Each pair is given a piece of ice (ice in the same molds must be prepared for the competition in advance). At a signal, the couple tries to quickly melt their ice in any way - you can blow on it, lick it, put it on the body, between the palms, rub it. Competitors may not use heaters or hot dishes to melt their ice cube. The pair whose ice floe melts first wins.
4. New Year's songs
For this competition, you don’t even have to get up from the table. The whole company is divided into two teams. A draw determines which group starts first.
The essence of the competition is to remember all the songs about the New Year, the Christmas tree, Christmas, winter, snow, snowstorms, and sing a couplet of each. The group that remembers the most songs wins.
You can slightly change this competition as follows. Small pieces of paper are prepared in advance, words are written on them on the theme of the New Year and winter - “Snow Maiden”, “blizzard”, “Santa Claus”, “Snow”, “winter”, “December”.
Representatives from the teams take out one piece of paper from a colorful box, and try to quickly remember the song where there is a given word, perform it. This competition can be arranged as a small improvisation concert.
5. Wish Fulfillment Contest
This competition must be prepared in advance as follows. A note is inserted into the balls with some task on a New Year's theme, for example: “Show the battle of the Kremlin chimes”, “Show the dance of snowflakes”, “Depict a snowman”, “Depict an icicle”, “Show a Christmas tree”, “Show a drunk Santa Claus” , "Sing a New Year's song with a child's voice" and so on. These tasks should be varied and fun, and you need to prepare a sufficiently large number of them.
It is also necessary to pour small confetti into the balls, inflate them and hang them somewhere higher.
For the competition, all those present are divided into two groups. A member of the first team must burst the balloon with his hand or a stick - it will be sprinkled with confetti, a piece of paper with a task will fall out. Then he must perform his task as best as possible to the friendly applause and laughter of those present.
If the participant does not want to complete this task, the team receives minus 1 point. Together with each participant, everyone present can perform the task, competing as a reproducible scene. The most active team wins.
6. New Year's alphabet
This competition can be held right at the festive table. The host of the holiday announces that he wants to check whether everyone remembers the alphabet.
Each of the participants in turn pronounces a congratulation on the New Year to all participants, starting the phrase with one letter of the alphabet, with "A". For example, "A" - "And let's wish Happy New Year to all the ladies present!"; "B" - "Be healthy and happy in the New Year!".
The culmination of this competition will be attempts to come up with phrases with the letters “b”, “Zh”, “b”, “Y”. Dexterous and resourceful contestants must somehow get out of the situation or laugh it off.
7. Snowball fight
For this competition, a sufficient number of "snowballs" from cotton wool are made in advance. All those present are divided into two teams and stand on opposite sides of the hall.
At the command of the host, both teams begin to throw prepared snowballs at each other, there is noise, confusion, laughter. Then, at the command of the leader, the “war” stops. Each team must collect all the "snowballs" that fell on its side of the hall. The group that scores the most wins.
Then this competition can be continued with comic tasks - the participants of both teams compete in carrying the "snowball" on their heads, on their chests, on their backs - in such a way that they do not hold it with their elbows, hands, and so that the "snowball" does not fall to the floor.
8. Santa Claus sneezed
This competition is not held to determine the winners, but to create general fun and laughter.
All present are divided into three groups. At first, the participants of each group are told that they, at a certain command - for example, by waving a “magic wand”, should each shout out their own magic word. These words are for three teams - "achi", "eyes", "cartilage".
The teams must shout these words synchronously, all together, and the one who shouts her word louder than the others will win. On special signals, the teams shout their words all together.
In the end, all this noise will be similar to the sneezing of a giant. The presenter can further provoke and amuse the participants of this competition, answering each “sneeze” - “Be healthy, Grandfather Frost!”.
9. Rolling snowballs
This competition is held between couples "man + woman".
Gentle music sounds, the participants dance a slow dance. Then the music stops, the host distributes small balls to the couples, which he places between the bellies of the ladies and gentlemen.
On a special signal from the host of the competition, more energetic music begins to sound, and the partners try to roll the ball to the chin with the movements of their bodies so as not to drop it and touch it with their hands.
10. Festive Conveyor
From among those present, five participants are selected into two teams, they are given names: “open it”, “pour it”, “drink it”, “eat it”, “close it”.
On the tables for two teams at the end of the hall there are bottles of sparkling water (for adult companies - with champagne or wine), a glass, a sandwich.
At the start signal of our presenter, the first participants from the starting mark run to the tables, open the bottle. The second participants must run to the tables and pour a drink into the glass to the brim. The third pair of participants runs to drink poured in glasses. The fourth participants of the competition “have a snack” with a sandwich, the fifth ones run and close the bottle with a drink.
The team that is more accurate and passes this relay race faster will win.
As an option, the participants in the teams may not be five, but, for example, three or seven. Sandwiches can be prepared in threes, and the relay race is carried out until three circles have been completed, from opening the bottle to closing it.
11. Boxing ring
Two participants are called to the “stage” and will compete with each other. The host announces that now there will be bloody battles between two real men. Participants are given boxing gloves.
Putting on gloves, the cooking process, the presenter accompanies the phrases “warming up” the audience: “Real men fight to the last!”, “The ring will show who is stronger!”. Participants can be stripped to the waist, allowed to warm up, jump, box in the air.
When the participants are warmed up and ready to fight each other, they are given ... a candy in a wrapper (put on the tables). At the starting signal “ring”, our “boxers” should try to quickly unfold this candy with gloved hands, without dropping it from the table, and eat it.
The task with sweets can be replaced by another task: with hands in boxing gloves, unbutton the buttons on the lady, who is first put on a dressing gown.
12. New Year's Eve Queen
What fabulous evening would be complete without a queen? So on New Year's Eve, the participants will have to choose their main queen of the ball. For this, of course, it is necessary for the queens to dress up in appropriate clothes, for which each team is given 1-2 rolls of toilet paper.
The task of the teams is to create a "royal attire" for their main "queen" for a certain period of time, for example, while all the other participants sing some New Year's song.
The winner is the team whose “queen” outfit will be better than the other “queens”.
13. Dancing with balls
When it's time to dance on the New Year's holiday, participants can be offered a very funny contest. All dancers are tied to the ankle of their left foot with a balloon.
The essence of the competition is to, while dancing, protect your ball from the feet of other participants, and at the same time try to “burst” their balls.
Such “dances” turn into a fun fuss that gives a good mood and general fun.
14. Fun questions - fun answers
This contest requires a little preparation. From thick paper or cardboard, it is necessary to cut cards of the same size, an even number, in quantity - about two to three times more than the participants in the future party. On half of the cards you need to write a variety of questions, putting them in a separate deck. On the second half of the cards you need to write answers - this will be the second deck.
Questions can be: “Do you know how to control yourself?”, “If I kiss you, what will you say to that?”, 
“Do you like striptease?”, “Do you often get drunk?” and others. Answers can be of the following plan: “Only after pay”, “My youth is left behind”, “This is my favorite pastime”, “Only at night” and others.
The first participant calls the name of the person to whom the question will be asked, takes a card from the deck of questions, reads it.
The respondent takes a card from the deck of answers, reads. Then the second participant calls the name of the next responder, takes a card with a question, reads it - and the festival of funny questions and answers continues on.
15. Snow Lady of Dreams
This competition can also be held with real snow - if it is slightly damp outside, or if large portions of snow are brought into the hall on trays for the competition. An option without snow is to sculpt a “dream lady” from cotton wool, synthetic winterizer.
Divide all participants into teams. Each team is given "material" for modeling, the start is announced. The team must "blind" a beautiful sculpture of a real beauty as best as possible, faster than rivals. In the process of "sculpting" you can use your own things, products from the table.

Violators come up with symbolic punishment, for example, eat a slice of lemon without sugar or perform the dance of the Yellow Dog.
Cards for the game are prepared in advance. What the tasks will be depends on the imagination of the owners of the house and the company that is going to. Usually they write something like: “crow every hour”, “find three people who will agree to dance with you”, “spend the whole evening in a Santa Claus hat”, “at exactly 23.15 climb onto a chair and recite a verse”, “say a toast in which all words begin with the letter B”, “persuade the neighbor on the right to dance the tango”, etc. The content of tasks should be selected depending on the nature of the company, do not forget that they should be funny, simple and enjoyable. If many children come to the holiday, prepare separate boxes of cards for children and adults. At the end of the evening, a vote is held to determine who did the best in the game.

- The first pair is chosen (by choice or by lot). It is better to distribute the teams so that they have people who know each other the same way. The couple is chosen immediately before the competition, so participants who are waiting for their turn will not be able to prepare.
- The playing couple goes to the center. For 30-60 seconds, participants are asked to look at each other.
- Then they are turned with their backs, and the rest of the guests ask them in turn questions about their appearance: “What color is Andrey’s eyes?”, “What is on his left hand?”, “What color are his socks?” etc. Sometimes tricky questions are asked, for example, asking which hand is wearing a ring, even if there is no such accessory.
