Have fun, have fun in the New Year. New Year's contests for children and adults

13.10.2019

When preparing to celebrate the New Year with a friendly and noisy company, it would be nice to think over a fun and exciting scenario for a children's holiday. Not only all adult family members, but also teenagers can be involved in the preparation. New Year's entertainment for children will be the most unforgettable experience of the long-awaited holiday. Every child will remember for a long time a fun event that gave him numerous moments of happiness.

Funny home competitions. "Magic Cap"

This competition will appeal to children of all ages. Paper colorful caps and medium-sized sticks will serve as attributes. Participants are divided into pairs. The task of the opponents is to put hats on each other with a stick. It is strictly forbidden to take an impromptu headdress with your hands. The winner of each pair continues to participate in the competition until one of the luckiest and most dexterous participants is identified, who is entitled to a funny prize. New Year's entertainment for children will become especially significant if, side by side with them, their parents take part in the unfolding action.

"Make Nesmeyanu Laugh"

For the competition, two volunteers will be needed, who will play the roles of the Snow Maiden and Princess Nesmeyana, and as props - funny masks, clown noses, muzzles of monsters and just objects that come to hand. It will not do without the imagination and enthusiasm of the little participants. At the beginning of the competition, the children are told that the princess knows where the Snow Maiden is hidden with gifts, but she cannot utter a word, as she cries incessantly. The task of each participant with the help of funny dances and movements is to make Nesmeyan laugh. If you do not find the Snow Maiden, then how to get the long-awaited gifts for the New Year? Children will remember not only the creative approach in the competitive task and the fun from the ongoing action, but also the non-standard way of getting gifts.

Games and New Year's entertainment at home for children. "Piglets"

Any jelly-like dessert, pudding, yogurt, jam will act as a fun prop. Children will have to use toothpicks or matches to eat their entire portion. The winner will be the one who spends less time eating than the rest of the participants. Parents need to be prepared for the fact that New Year's entertainment for children can lead to additional cleaning and laundry. It's not scary. The main thing is the holiday atmosphere.

For a noisy company, the Harvesting entertainment is also suitable. Everyone's favorite tangerines or oranges will act as attributes. The players are divided into two equal teams and placed at one end of the room or playing hall. At the opposite end there should be a table with containers for filling with harvested crops. The task of the players is to carry the fruit to the bowl without the help of hands. And it does not matter how - on the back, on the head or in the mouth. The main thing is not to use your hands. The referee must ensure that the rules are followed. The team that fills their bowl the fastest wins.

When we celebrate the New Year with children, we always want to give them as many joyful emotions as possible. The fun isn't just about dancing. Properly selected competitions and entertainment diversify the festive home event.

impromptu performance

Suitable for a large noisy company. One of the children should act as a reader (if none of the kids can read yet, then let an adult be the leader). All the rest will receive roles according to the chosen fairy tale. It could be "Turnip" or some other short fairy tale for kids. The shorter and more famous the script, the better. To make it more interesting, you can not assign roles at will, but write them on separate cards and invite each child to draw out the name of the character blindly. Then the host of the performance begins to expressively read the tale, and the characters at this time should come to life. Parents can be seated as spectators and invited to choose the best actor and encourage him.

New Year's entertainment at home for children does not require additional spending on prizes. A prize in the form of a candy or a tangerine will be enough. For children, self-expression is important, not the amount of reward.

Intellectual competitions. "Error"

It is better to involve the youngest participants in this competition, but on the condition that they already know well-known children's songs. The host must be dressed in a costume of a fairy-tale character or Santa Claus. The children are announced that Grandfather Frost, who came to them for the holiday, loves to sing songs very much, but began to forget the words with age. The organizers of the competition change in advance some words in the text of the New Year's songs to the opposite in meaning. So, the green Christmas tree will become a red palm, the little man will become a cricket, and the cowardly bunny will become one of the children present. The guys listen to the speech of the dear guest, find and correct mistakes in unison. The most active participant will be rewarded.

This contest is subject to change. What if you invite your child to experiment a little and learn creative poems for the New Year? It will be interesting for children to show all their imagination and replace some words in a poem on a winter theme with summer and hot antonyms. Now it's the turn to be surprised by Santa Claus.

public holidays

In fact, the New Year for children comes much earlier than December 31st. Somewhere a week before the calendar holiday in all educational institutions, matinees and evenings are held. The main preparatory and rehearsal work falls to the share of teachers.

However, teachers and educators cannot do without active and artistic parents. No need to refer to eternal employment and excessive workload. The joy of the baby and his happy eyes are more precious than all the money in the world. Therefore, you need to take the initiative into your own hands and offer your original scenario for New Year's entertainment for children. And, of course, take an active part in it.

A holiday in the fresh air, especially in the evening, will become very unusual and memorable for everyone. For this case, scenarios based on the fairy tales "12 months" or "The Snow Queen" are suitable. It is very good when there is an opportunity to hire a real cab driver with a horse and sleigh. Children will be able to see how Santa Claus rushed to visit them from the far north or the Snow Queen arrived with an inspection of the possessions. So the New Year for children will sparkle with new shades of fairy tales. Costumes and props are easy to rent at the box office or at the nearest Palace of Creativity.

Preparing for the event

Preparations for such a holiday as the New Year usually begin long before it arrives. The first stage can be considered the decoration of school classrooms and Christmas trees, and the second - your own home. In both cases, the child must be allowed to show all his indefatigable imagination, and, if necessary, direct it in the right direction.

Children love live Christmas trees. If for some reason you don’t want to put a green beauty in the house, then you can put it in a place of honor in the yard. If the parents are busy developing the script, then the children themselves can make beautiful Christmas tree decorations and decorate the Christmas tree with them. Children's dance for the New Year or a cheerful round dance will become much more interesting and livelier if they take place in the open air. It is very good to dress in unusual costumes, it is even better if one of the children will be creative the day before and make a funny mask for himself. Teenagers can try to sew a costume of some famous character.

The guys should not be on the sidelines, they can and want to take part in the organization and preparation. And if competitions and sketches for children on the New Year should remain a secret for them until the very holiday, then let the rest of the preparatory process take place with the participation of little naughty ones.

Event plan

If some ready-made scenario is not involved in the preparation of the event, and the template for the upcoming holiday was collected from various sources using the imagination of the authors, you still cannot do without a detailed action plan. It is necessary to clearly structure what will follow what and at what time. New Year's entertainment for children should not tire and exhaust. Noisy outdoor games should be alternated with intellectual jokes, a feast - with dancing or going out into the fresh air. Funny songs, skits, theatrical performances and poetry reading - everything can be involved in the script.

Talent Search

Surely in every family there are creative talented individuals. When inviting guests to your home, it will be a pleasure to show them crafts, drawings or a variety of collections. Perhaps the family has some awards, cups or medals. Many people are fond of writing poetry. It is pleasant to read ready-made congratulations in rhymes, but it is much more interesting to try to write poems for the New Year on your own. By the way, it will be interesting for children to try to add a couple of quatrains in one of the intellectual competitions. Suddenly, among the kids, a real nugget will be found? Or maybe someone will show themselves from an unusual side.

Hospitality at home

Expecting guests for the holiday, it will not be superfluous to think over not large, not expensive, but purely symbolic gifts for the New Year. Children from other families, even if they are close relatives, should also be given attention.

In general, the tradition of gathering often, with the whole family, connecting friends and their children to meetings, it is better to take it as a rule and not limit it to the main holiday of the year. When people regularly arrange fun noisy events, it is easier and faster for them to organize everything from time to time. In addition, through such unity, a certain atmosphere of comfort and warmth is created. In such houses, congratulations on the New Year are pronounced in a special way; children are especially pleased to feel the energy of love and kindness.

The distribution of gifts will be much more interesting if you turn the banal folding of boxes under the Christmas tree into an exciting journey according to the outlined plan. If the baby has any difficulties with the specified location, parents will always come to the rescue with a hint "Hot" or "Cold".

What to do on holidays?

No wonder our country sets aside several days to celebrate the New Year, which traditionally coincide with school holidays. It is stupid to spend this time on the couch in front of the TV, and leave the children at the mercy of the ice slides. It is better to spend the holidays, continuing to have fun and be surprised at how many interesting things winter can give people.

Most often in January, the snow is loose, and it does not allow sculpting various figures. In this case, an ordinary spray gun, lowered into a plastic bottle of water, will help out. Bright colors are also added there. With the help of such a "weapon" it is fun to paint snowdrifts, snow figures and even branches on trees.

New Year's entertainment for children is a shade of fabulousness. And when else can you inflate crystal balls and build a real palace out of them? For such an activity, frosty weather outside the window (from -7 to -15 degrees) and several tubes of soap bubbles are required. It is this air temperature that is considered optimal for the crystallization of soapy water. The inflated bubble is immediately seized by frost and turns into a real crystal ball, decorated with ice patterns. It will freeze faster if it is lowered into the snow. Depending on the humidity and the degree of cold, the balls can turn out to be either elastic or brittle. It is good to decorate trees, bushes, Christmas trees with the received "crystal" products or build real pyramids with castles. Tip: soap bubbles are not afraid of woolen mittens, they bounce off the wool, and do not burst.

Shadow theater and other holiday activities

Behind are costumed performances and competitions for the New Year. Children can be invited to act out a play in the shadow theater. For the performance, you will need a wall of a dark room, a powerful flashlight, any toys and the hands of the actors. Improvising and experimenting, children usually achieve an incredible effect: they capture the appearance and characters of animals and birds. And with the help of figures correctly placed on the table and the necessary brightness of lighting, entire cities are obtained. Children's imagination is boundless, so the production should turn out well.

When congratulations on the New Year are silent, children are still interested in playing and drawing. If for some reason the windows in the house are still undecorated, you will have to arm yourself with a special pencil for drawing on glass. An even more exciting activity is the manufacture of copyright magic jars. To do this, you will need any glass container, glitter from a craftswoman store, water, glycerin, superglue and a small plastic toy. Boiled water is poured into the jar, then, while continuously stirring the composition, a mixture of glycerin with sparkles is added. A figurine is attached to the lid and the contents of the jar are screwed tightly. By turning the jar upside down, you can endlessly enjoy the sparkles smoothly flying inside.

New Year's Dictionary

A merry New Year's dictionary includes an interpretation of a wide range of words that are directly or indirectly related to the New Year's holiday. It is a New Year's "edition" of the popular "Clueless Dictionary", the content of which, mixed with subtle humor, creates an upbeat festive mood.

The organizers of the holiday will have to decide on a way to introduce the participants of the New Year's party to the New Year's dictionary. The problem is that it is not an easy task to understand the semantic correspondence of the proposed word and its celebratory interpretation by ear. It’s not interesting to simply read ready-made versions of a cheerful “translation” of words without the active participation of each guest, and if you invite those present to do it on their own, without any help, some will not be able to do it. Obviously, the hosts of the evening should provide the participants with a visual perception of word variants and their translation “from Russian into Russian” and give them the opportunity to find humorous semantic correspondences among those already available. This can be done in various game options. For example, arrange a New Year's lotto, dominoes or design your own version of a table card game. Let's take a closer look at the first of the proposed game models.

Every child and adult knows how to play loto. This board game is known in every home, and in this sense it can be considered a folk game.

To draw a festive fun loto, you need to prepare props.

1. Big cards for each participant or team. To do this, the landscape sheet is divided into 6-9 parts, and in each resulting rectangle a word is written, the New Year's interpretation of which will need to be established.

2. Small colored cards - "zastavushki", on which are written "translations" of the words indicated on the personal cards of the players, from the generally accepted Russian language into stupid Russian. These cards are the same size as the divisions of the larger cards. To facilitate control by the leading part of the large cards and the corresponding small cards have the same numbering.

3. A bag of opaque material (box) for small cards with word translations.

The competition is held according to the rules of the lotto. The lotto manager (players can do this in turn) pulls out a card from the prepared bag and reads out the New Year's definition of a concept, a cheerful semantic correspondence to which the players must find on their cards and name. If the answer is correct, the player closes one of the parts of his big card. For control by the leading part of the cards of the players and the corresponding small cards are numbered the same, and if the participants do not do it on time

the desired move (the time for thinking is no more than 5 seconds), the leader reports the answer, and the card is put aside. At the end of the game, the player who has closed the rest of the spaces on his big card can get back the missing word for a special ransom - a fun creative challenge. The winner is the one who closes his big card first.

You can come up with other rules for this game yourself: a “penalty” for those who make mistakes with the answers, encouragement for the players who were the first to close the line in the card, etc.

Here is an example of cards for a fun New Year's loto.

2. When is the best time to harvest firewood: summer or winter? (In winter, as the sap flow stops and the wood is dry)

3. Why do snow patterns appear on the inside of window panes in winter? (In winter, the air near the window panes is very cold and part of the water vapor from it settles on the cold glass in the form of ice crystals. Then these crystals begin to branch and grow, “drawing” frosty patterns on the glass)

4. Where is it colder - at the North or South Pole? (At the South Pole)

5. Why in winter, even in severe frosts, the rivers do not freeze to the bottom? (Water at a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius has the highest density and is located at the bottom of the river. For this reason, the movement of water in the vertical direction stops and its further cooling does not occur)

6. On your mitten you saw two snowflakes of different shapes. One is simpler, and the other is the form of a complex openwork pattern. Is it possible to determine by the appearance of these snowflakes which of them fell from a greater and which fell from a lower height? (Yes. The more complex the shape of the snowflake, the higher it fell, since its whirling in the air was accompanied by a process of crystallization - the addition of new moisture particles to it, which provided additional sophistication of its shape)

7. Why are second frames inserted for the winter? (Still air enclosed between two frames, being a poor conductor of heat, prevents the room from drying out in winter)

9. Do trees grow in winter? (No, their growth stops in winter)

glowing ball

Show the audience a table tennis ball. Count to three and light will appear inside the balloon. The light is moving!

To achieve this effect is very simple. There should be a light source three meters from the ball, for example, a simple electric light bulb. And in the ball - a round hole with a diameter of up to one centimeter. When you show the balloon to the audience, you cover the hole with your finger. Counting to three, turn the ball with the hole towards the bulb and, removing your finger, open it. This is where the audience gets the impression that light appeared in the ball. And in order for the light to move, you just need to move the ball up and down and left and right, but do not rotate it.
