How to entertain people for the New Year. How to entertain guests on New Year's Eve

Instructions

Invite guests to the celebration a couple of hours before midnight; if you start earlier, many will get tired and will not wait until the clock strikes on the Spasskaya Tower. Don’t be shy to ask your friends for help, because in addition to organizing fun and entertainment, you also have a festive table. Sketch out a plan for how the evening will go. If the guests do not know each other, introduce them to each other in a humorous manner.

When the guests have gathered, do not rush to immediately show them all the salads that you have prepared. First, hold a small competition, the purpose of which will be to appoint each guest to a responsible position. For example, write notes with the characters' names on pieces of paper, hide them in chocolate egg cases and hang them on strings. Guests will have to cut the thread with scissors with their eyes closed. So you can choose the Snow Maiden and Father Frost, the symbol of the coming year (2012 is the year of the dragon), the villain Baba Yaga and other characters. It doesn’t matter that the two-meter-tall Vasily will become Thumbelina, the main thing is that the role is harmless. Each of the guests must adhere to their role throughout the evening.

Closer to twelve o'clock, make sure that the champagne is ready, select a television channel on which you will listen to the chimes and, possibly, the president's speech. Don't forget your wish while the clock strikes twelve. In the first minutes of the New Year, congratulate everyone present, and the chosen Father Frost and Snow Maiden can give gifts to everyone. If there are areas near your house where you can light fireworks, go there with your guests only. Remember that pyrotechnics can only be used in strictly designated areas in compliance with all safety rules.

When the New Year has arrived, but you don’t want to watch television shows, organize competitions. They should be simple and fun; buy prizes using your general holiday budget. As a competition, you can guess songs and films. The game of forfeits is also good, when each of the guests performs simple tasks.

On New Year's Eve, various predictions are good and appropriate. Write comic prophecies on pieces of paper, wrap them up, and invite your friends to draw out theirs. If desired, the prediction can be tied with a ribbon to a Christmas cookie or Christmas tree decoration. Come up with good prophecies so that pleasant words remain in everyone’s soul.

At the end of the evening, you can arrange dancing for the most persistent ones. The neighbors are unlikely to mind loud music, since such a night only happens once a year. And, of course, make sure that the friends who stayed overnight are comfortably accommodated while they sleep, and that those who went home get home safely.

How to organize a New Year's celebration at home?

More than 75% of Russians celebrate the New Year at home or visiting relatives or friends. The tradition is wonderful, but in order for the holiday not to turn into a banal binge in front of the TV and for the memory to retain the feeling of a wonderful evening and night, you need to not only invite guests and treat them well, but also be able to entertain them. Of course, there are few people who are able to plan a New Year celebration as a serious cultural event, and not everyone is ready to take on the role of toastmaster, and a professional toastmaster in a home celebration will look, at a minimum, inappropriate.

Celebrating the New Year with your company and family is very fun and easy if you take a little time to think about everything in advance and do some “homework.” In this article we offer you several games and competitions that can be organized at home or outdoors.

It is better to come up with competitions in advance, taking into account the taste of the invited guests.

So, for example, if a company likes to play cards, then it is not at all necessary to play the already well-known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game, beloved by many people around the world. To do this, you need to explain the rules to everyone, and then you can arrange an impromptu poker tournament.

It is more convenient, easier and more fun to conduct games and competitions with simple rules and a minimum of props. The only condition is that there must always be a person who organizes the game and explains its rules to all participants.

What's in the bag?

This game can be played when you have just arrived at the guest house or holiday cottage and unloaded your bags. The presenter takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what history happened with a similar item, and the like. He says it needs to be done in such a way that the guessers suffer a little and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses it gets the item, and along with it the task. If it is bread, then cut it. If it’s canned food, then open it, if it’s an apple, then wash it, if it’s charcoal, then put on the grill... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.

I am the only lunar rover

To participate in this game, you can already take a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets down on all fours and, moving on four bones, says quite seriously: “I am the only lunar rover, peak-peak starting the reception...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes lunar rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes lunar rovers, and the one who doesn’t laugh wins. The phrase of the lunar rover can be expanded: “... I’m heading to the lunar base for refueling.” In a word, improvisation will only enhance the “ha-ha” effect.

"ABC".

The meaning of this game is as follows: in a circle, starting with the first letter of the alphabet, i.e. A, and further down the alphabet, those sitting at the table say a congratulation phrase. For example: A - “And I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!” And so on... Sometimes you get very funny phrases :).

"Mummy"

Several pairs of volunteers are called. In each pair, one of the participants must build a “mummy” from the other using a roll of toilet paper and come up with a name for it. The winner is the one who receives more applause from the audience and whose figure is the most interesting.

A la towns

In the fresh air, while, for example, barbecue is being prepared, children are getting underfoot, and adults have not lost coordination, the whole group can play a simplified version of the towns. To do this, you need to collect approximately identical pieces of firewood around the area and one stick that will serve as a bat. A circle is drawn on the ground, firewood is laid out in any shape (like a pioneer fire or a well), and each participant (distracted from the task for a while) from a certain distance knocks out as much wood as possible from the circle. But this is not so easy and you can’t do it the first time. If you replace the bat with a ball, you get something a la bowling.

Zoo

You only play at the zoo once in your life, and then it’s no longer interesting. If it so happens that there are no such lucky people in your company or there are only a few of them, you will have great fun. The presenter speaks the name of the animal into everyone's ear. Then everyone stands in a circle and firmly takes each other by the arms. The presenter names the animal. For example: “Which one of you is a crocodile?” And the crocodile must sit down sharply, and the non-crocodiles must hold him back. Then they call it a monkey. The same thing happens. But on the third click, the main thing happens. After the question: “Which of you is a hippopotamus?”, everyone falls to the ground together, and, realizing that they have been deceived, they laugh. Because the trick of this game is that all but one or two participants receive the same animal name.

"Seventh heaven".

This competition is especially attractive for children. At a certain height, a rope is stretched, on which surprise souvenirs are hung at different levels. The task of each participant is to run up and jump as high as possible and pick the souvenir they like.

"Bridge".

Motor coordination test. Participants must take turns walking along a straight line without ever leaving it. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path you need to perform a simple movement: Grab your left ear over your knee with your right hand and make 3 circles around your axis.

"Line-ball."

Participants are divided into 2 groups, each of them is given a large canvas, which is used for a collective throw of the ball. One of the subgroups receives the ball. Task: throw the ball from one surface to another without dropping it.

"Reindeer Sleds"

The task is to divide into pairs to cover the distance. ½ distance, the pair walks around the cones, in the following position - the first player stands on his hands, the second holds his legs. At the last cone, players change places. Thus, all participants complete the distance.

"Snowballs."

Hit a snowball into a bucket. Each participant is given 5 attempts. According to the overall team result.

What other outdoor activities can there be in nature?

Taking a snow town, sliding down a hill and sculpting a snow woman

Lighting a fire, decorating a Christmas tree with improvised materials

Sledding, skiing, ice skating

Snowmobiling

Launching sky lanterns

Soap bubble generator (in winter they freeze and become covered with a pattern, like on windows)

Firecrackers, boom-fetti.

Meat on a spit, kebabs

Hot Mulled wine in a Samovar or in thermoses

Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.

Round dance, dancing around the Christmas tree, dressing up as buffoons, gypsies, national Russian or Altai costumes

Games, competitions and fun make an ordinary New Year at home unforgettable. Impressions fueled by laughter last a long time. Next, professional entertainer Zakhar Sokhatsky shares his recipes for a cheerful home New Year:

The first thing you can do for a good mood is to radically turn off the TV. The best you can do is listen to the chimes, and after draining your glasses, press the red button on the TV remote control. After all, in recent years, New Year's Eve on television has been a failure, and it is unlikely that anything will change this time.

It’s much better to have fun chatting with each other, playing something, and shedding your seriousness for one New Year’s Eve.

In this sense, the “pajama party” method is very helpful - guests are asked to bring pajamas to the party (or some other purely home clothes - T-shirt, shorts) and change immediately upon arrival. I assure you, this will make your holiday much more comfortable than a prim reception in evening dresses. Besides, you don’t have to spend the whole December thinking about what to wear so spectacularly for the New Year. Less show-off - more joy.

Puzzle your guests in advance: ask everyone to prepare some kind of surprise. For example, everyone can learn a trick with cards or matches, or something else easy, non-stressful, for pulling. But do not demonstrate everything at once, but at some interval. Let this theme of homemade preparations run through your holiday.

Also ask each guest to bring with them a wish in an envelope that will go to one of the other guests. All the envelopes are mixed, each person making a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be designed for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about the Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink in one gulp, for example, a glass of cocktail made from cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee), and for the entire current year (get married, give birth, become deputy of the regional Duma, etc.). In a year, you will conduct a debriefing and see who really knows how to keep their word.

Immediately after midnight, everyone goes out into the yard together for a short time - just to shout, to relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what the workaholic Japanese do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thus thrown off the negativity of the past year, we return to the warmth, to the already set table. By the way, what's on our table? A New Year in the Russian folk style or with classic “Soviet traditions” is good, but if this is already “boring”, an “ethnic” approach will help make the New Year’s table more original. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentine or other little-known cuisine. This is not difficult to do - there are many culinary reference books now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the housewife’s “arsenal” for the future. The “ethnic table” will give guests completely new sensations, which fully corresponds to the very idea of New Year’s Eve. If the company is large and the organization of the table requires joint participation, you can agree in advance for each guest or family to prepare some kind of “ethnic” dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.

Next, I can suggest playing “Yudashkin.” Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a petite build, so that there is more room for imagination. Each team takes 3-4 minutes to dress a girl in the funniest way possible, putting everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. We dressed, assessed, photographed - and now we undress the girl, and for a while. Without fanaticism, to the original state.

While dressing the girl, the guests have already become a little acquainted with the house where everything happens - it’s time to play “tax inspector”. We select two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are exactly available in the apartment. Children usually take part in the game with pleasure. The winner is the team that lays the most items at the feet of the stern taxman.

No matter how well the holiday goes, try sometimes to remember the inevitability of the morning. Morning will most likely come in the evening of January 1st. If the guests have not left before bedtime, you can cheer them up a little, for example, agree in advance: whoever drank the most will organize exercises in the fresh air for everyone. It’s harsh, but it invigorates and brings you back to life. You can plant some other intrigue in the evening: for example, a social burden (going to the store) on the least drunk person - so that no one wants to be this “lucky” person. It is advisable to plan the program for the “morning” in advance. But whether you can fulfill it depends only on you.

Happy New Year to you!

How to entertain guests on New Year's Eve?

New Year's win-win fortune-telling lottery. Everyone pulls out a number that matches the surprise heart. One of those present performs the presenter’s task (playing forfeits). After completing the task, you need to remove a heart with your number from the tree and find out what fate has in store.

It's like playing a lottery in a bank. And which of the guests will pull out what?
"Fortune lottery." Make firecrackers (or hearts) filled with:

small trumpet (glory),

I just don’t need treasures!
To the Ural expanses
I wanted to take a look!

Chorus: A week before the second
New Year celebrate New!
From distant America
I decided to go to the Urals!

I went down into the thick forest,
I found myself in a snowy fairy tale.

Only I don’t see him!
Apparently, he confused the meeting place,
Landed in the wrong place!

JUMPING INTO THE NEW YEAR

This is a competition in which men and women can participate separately. After the first New Year's toasts, invite the participants to line up in one line. Then, on command, they must “jump” into the New Year. The one who jumped the farthest wins. If your neighbors are celebrating the New Year downstairs, then you shouldn’t continue this competition for too long

DON'T LAUGH

Players sit in a circle in the order: man - woman. Everyone is warned not to laugh. The leader takes his right neighbor (neighbor) by the ear. Everyone else in the circle must do the same. When the circle is closed, the leader takes the neighbor on the right by the cheek, nose, knee, etc. The one who laughed is eliminated.
DRAWERS

The leader calls two or three pairs of players. The players of each pair sit at the table next to each other. One is blindfolded, a sheet of paper is placed in front of him and a pen or pencil is given in his hand. Everyone else present gives each pair a task - to draw a New Year's picture. The player in each pair, who is not blindfolded, carefully watches what his neighbor is drawing and tells him where to point the pen and in which direction. He listens and draws what he is told. It turns out very funny. The couple that completes the drawing faster and better wins.

New Year is a special, cheerful holiday with many symbolic associations. In order to celebrate it properly, you need to come up with original Games and entertainment, quizzes and riddles will help you perfectly organize a relaxed atmosphere and celebrate a significant event surrounded by happy faces.

How to organize a holiday

In order to have a good time and find the right approach to all guests, you need to choose entertainment for the New Year of a different nature, since all people perceive the same things in their own way. You shouldn’t force those present to have fun. It would be more correct to start implementing the selected scenario in the company of several people, so that the rest will join in with interest in the fun atmosphere and enjoy the pleasant moments.

The most important thing on such an evening is not to be bored, to rejoice and have fun from the heart, not to think about the opinions of others on this matter and to have fun. Shyness and excessive modesty are also inappropriate this evening.

You need to take care of the organization in advance, preparing modest gifts, cool entertainment for the New Year and the necessary attributes for their implementation. Pleasant musical accompaniment is also very important.

Entertainment for the family

Any holiday with family is especially solemn and beautiful. Nothing can replace a circle of loved ones and family. It will be a lot of fun to play funny fairy tales and arrange an original fortune telling for dessert.

To implement such a scenario, you can take the simplest fairy tale, familiar to the youngest members of the family, and assign roles. When the leader chosen by everyone begins to read the text, the others stage the actions. It is very interesting.

And for sweet fortune-telling you can use kinder surprises. After eating the delicious food, you will get to the toy, which will indicate how the next year will go. Fortune telling can be interpreted in different ways, the main thing is to use your imagination as much as possible.

Extraordinary entertainment for the family will not let you get bored and will be remembered for a long time.

Different types of scenarios for children 2-3 years old

Coming up with New Year's entertainment for the little ones is a responsible mission, because such an action requires an awareness of child psychology and age-related characteristics. For kids 2-3 there are very entertaining scenarios that will provide an unforgettable holiday.

1. Snowballs. To do this, you need to make “snowballs” in advance from foil or using cotton wool and glue.

You can tell children a fairy tale where a soft toy appears, and start driving it away with snowballs. The second option: report that the room has become too hot and you need to cool off by playing snowballs.

2. Dance ball. Children will dance and sing with pleasure, especially if their beloved parents keep them company.

This could be a dance of snowflakes to a mysterious, specially selected melody, complemented by tinsel, rain and other suitable attributes. The classic option is to dance around the beautiful Christmas tree. Another option is to dance with objects, which can be tambourines, maracas, handkerchiefs, etc.

3. Collecting something. This is very interesting for kids of this age category. You can start the game with the words: “The fox was carrying balls, and along the way they fell and scattered. She needs help” - etc.

Entertainment, games for children for the New Year

Here's how you can have fun with your kids:

Regardless of the age of the guests, it will always be fun to play these simple games:

How else to entertain guests on New Year's Eve?

You can hold a competition with candy at the table. The selected person must catch the participant handing over the candy, which is passed from hand to hand under the table.

In addition to competitions, don’t forget about fun dance music, lively video greetings, exciting games like “Twister”, etc.

Presentation of gifts

No holiday is complete without gifts, especially one like New Year. The process of presenting a gift can also be played out in a fun and unusual way. Some ways to do this:

This approach will emotionally prepare those present for a great, pleasant evening.

Intellectual competitions

For the erudite circle of guests, intellectual games and entertainment for the New Year are suitable, which will allow those present to show off their intelligence and ingenuity. Some ideas:

"Merry associations" In the absence of one of the participants, the company makes a word. Then the person who came out returns and begins to guess the association invented by his friends using the method of leading questions. The rest answer and enjoy a funny pastime.
"Investigators". Depending on the number of participants, one or more people leave the room for a few minutes and, upon returning, must “solve the crime.” They begin to ask questions, the answers to which are “yes”, “no”, “maybe”. The point is that there is no story, and the answers are given depending on the last letter in the question: vowel - yes, consonant - no, soft sign - perhaps. The concocted story will prove to be very exciting before investigators determine what the mystery is.
"Trivial expressions." More suitable for small companies. A specific topic is selected, according to which each participant comes up with the 10 most common words and writes them down on a sheet of paper. After this, points are calculated and assigned depending on the number of matches. So, if on the topic “Cities” 8 out of 10 thought of Moscow, then everyone gets 8 points for this word, and for Milan, which was encountered once, the score is correspondingly 1. The one who scores the most points wins.

It is very easy to organize entertainment of this type for the New Year. They will definitely bring new emotions to table gatherings.

Fun program for a corporate evening

Any entertainment for the New Year will be a joy for the company, because you really want to escape from everyday work and forget about all the problems. Interesting ideas for celebrating in a team:

Games for adults

Such competitions and entertainment for the New Year are preferred in youth and student companies:

New Year's games in different countries

Most people love to travel, but not everyone knows what New Year's entertainment is the most common in exotic places.

In Thailand, this is a coconut competition where participants roll the fruits and try to break them without using their hands. The one whose attempts are successful receives a prize - a coconut.

Great New Year's entertainment for children with a ball is practiced in Laos. Boys and girls stand in two lines opposite each other and throw the ball in pairs. Anyone who does not catch it must complete the task of the thrower. Couples change as often as they want.

Cambodians entertain themselves with fruits similar to dates. In our case, you can use apples. Participants are divided into 2 teams and stand opposite each other. Each person has 5 fruits in front of them and 1 in their hands. Next, team members throw one apple each to the opponent standing opposite them. The goal is to hold as many fruits in your hands as possible. The team that catches fewer fruits loses, and the winners receive a prize.

How to celebrate the New Year for a couple in love?

Some couples in love dream of celebrating the New Year alone, while others associate such a thought with a terribly boring pastime. You shouldn’t be upset in advance if your friends can’t come or for some other reason you have to spend New Year’s Eve only with your loved one. On the contrary, you can take advantage of such circumstances and become even closer by creatively organizing a fun program and having fun to the fullest.

First of all, you need to jointly discuss all plans and expectations, defining the style of the festive atmosphere. It could be:
