The final

At the end of the game, the teams answer the last, decisive question with a free bet, which can range from one point to the sum of points in each team’s account. Team representatives make a blind bet.

Final themes (participants in the game choose one of the topics by elimination):

Little Christmas tree... In which Russian city was the first street Christmas tree lit in 1852? ( Petersburg.)

Skates... Do you know that the first bone skates were found during excavations at an ancient human site? Bronze Age. When did they appear in Rus'? Their original title. (In Russia, Peter I personally turned the first metal skates in 1697, then they were called runners. Skates were called skates when they began to be decorated with horse figurines..)

Candles...“And the king commanded to decorate houses with spruce and juniper branches,” as our ancestors had done since time immemorial. And when did they begin to decorate the tree itself, which cannot be lived without? New Year's celebration? There are many versions. There is an opinion that this first happened in Alsace in the 16th century. According to legend, the founder of Lutheranism, Martin Luther, returning home at Christmas in 1513, was so amazed by the beauty of the starry sky that... In general, it seemed to him as if the stars were hanging on the branches of trees. So they began to decorate the Christmas trees. Each Christmas tree decoration has its own meaning. Apples (and now balls) are a symbol of Adam’s temptation, gingerbread is the heavy bread of the ancestor, nuts are overcoming the hardships of life, chains are our connection with God, golden thread is the rain of prosperity. What do the candles symbolize? ( The Righteous Path to God.)

About the wizard... The most pleasant moment of the holiday is receiving gifts. They are usually hidden under the Christmas tree. Or they put it in socks - like abroad. This custom is associated with the name of one saint who actually lived. True, a long time ago - in the 3rd century. n. e. in Asia Minor. He loved children very much and helped poor families, which usually had fewer children. The saint threw wallets of gold down the chimney. According to legend, one day a wallet got into a baby’s sock, which his mother hung by the fireplace to dry. We also love this saint, they consider him a magician. Only abroad they call him Santa Claus, but here they add the word “Miracle Worker” to his name. ( Nikolay.)

Where are we without literature... It just so happened that on Christmas Day - from Christmas to Epiphany - you need to make predictions about the future, to cast a spell. Do you remember the painting by K. Bryullov, in which an excited girl, holding her breath, peers into a dark mirror illuminated by a candle? Who will seem to her like a betrothed-mummer? But the artist was inspired for this painting by one famous ballad of the romantic poet, Pushkin’s mentor.

At the end of the game, the results are summed up and the winning team is determined.

Presenter 2:
- Do they like to sing on our street? Let's check it now.
Include famous songs. The leader walks among the people. When the song stops, the person the leader is standing next to must finish the sentence or verse of the song. So about 5-7 songs. (For example, Alla Pugacheva “Million Red roses", Philip Kirkorov "Red Rose", Angelica Varum, Leonid Agutin "Everything is in your hands", "Song about Polar Bears" from the film "Prisoner of the Caucasus").

And again we repeat our one remark about this game. In our opinion, you should not immediately reveal what is actually hidden under the tempting names, so as not to discourage other guests when they are the first to find out what “keys to the apartment” or “branded shoes” are. It would be best for the toastmaster to present “valuable acquisitions” to their lucky owners after all the items have been sold.

The New Year's thief is chosen among the guests. All the guests honestly close their eyes, and the thief enters the room and steals 3 or even more New Year's items, for example, a watch, a star from the Christmas tree, a basket of tangerines from the table. After this, all the guests open their eyes, look around and begin to guess what exactly the villain stole. The guest who is the first to guess what exactly the New Year's thief stole will win.

Revealing talents

There are forfeits in a hat or bag. Each guest chooses one and reads it. Then everyone takes turns demonstrating their talents. The forfeits can be written: depict a statue of the Discus Thrower, play the role of a drunken loader, sing a romance with words nursery rhyme, dance a hopak, show a double sheepskin coat in figure skating, and so on. Whoever best reveals his talent deserves a reward.

Photo competition “Heroes at the Christmas tree”

What would New Year be without memorable bright and cheerful photographs? So, each guest takes out his own phantom from the bag, which indicates his role, for example, Grandfather Mazai, Hercules, Cheburashka, the president, the animal symbol of the New Year, Baron Munchausen, Spider-Man, and so on. And each guest in turn goes to the tree and shows his hero who needs to be captured. The guests will have fun, and after the holiday there will be funny memories in the photo.

Each of the participants must remember in which year of which animal he was born and after a minute of reflection, each guest in turn must provide as many facts as possible in 1 minute of similarity with the owner of the New Year. For example: the coming year is the year of the Pig, and the participant was born, for example, in the year of the Rat. Then the participant provides the following facts: we both have crocheted ponytails - laces; we love to chew on something; our names are consonant with “Rat-Pig”; We love to eat delicious food, crunch, and so on. Or, for example, the guest was born in the year of the Dragon. Then you can provide the following facts of similarity: I am a symbol of flame, and you, the Pig, are a symbol of the family hearth, well-being, and a fire should always burn in the hearth; Our heads are sometimes hunted; sometimes they think badly of us (I am the Dragon - negative and evil hero fairy tales, but about you, Pig, there are often negative statements, such as “The pig was planted”) and so on. Whichever guest can provide more facts in a minute about the similarity between the symbol of the year of his birth and the symbol of the coming year will be the winner.

Which countries did Santa Claus visit?

The facilitator should prepare cards with a description various countries. For a wide range of guests, the presenter announces: “And now we will find out where our Santa Claus has already visited” and begins to read out a description of the first country. Whoever raised his hand answers. At the end, you should remember which of the guests gave the most correct answers and reward him with a prize, for example, a magnet with some country or landmark. Approximate description countries: country Great Wall and 6% of the land, silk and gunpowder first appeared here, the birthplace of Confucius (China).

Freeze New Year's figure

For this competition, the presenter must prepare in advance sheets with the names of any New Year's figures, for example, Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, icicle, snowflake, bunny, deer, bottle of champagne, and so on. All guests take turns participating. The first participant comes out and faces the rest of the guests, while the presenter stands behind the participant. The participant must not turn towards the leader. The presenter says: the blizzard worries once, the blizzard worries twice, the blizzard worries three, the New Year's figure freezes in place and shows a sheet with the name of the figure, for example, an icicle, and at this time the guests should try to portray an icicle and freeze in such a position that the participant can understand , in which figure all the guests froze. For each participant, the blizzard worries 5 times, that is, each participant must guess, well, or try to guess 5 New Year's figures. Participants who can guess all 5 “frozen” figures for him will receive the title of winner.

Light it up

In this competition, each participant receives his own set: a bag tied with a simple knot, and in it is another bag, and in this bag is another bag, and another, and another. All bags are tied, and in the very last bag (bag) there is a sparkler. At the command “start”, all participants begin to disassemble the “pyramid” of packages, that is, untie one and take out the second, until they reach the light that needs to be burned. Whichever participant can do it faster than the rest will receive a prize.

Greet the symbol of the New Year

Each of the guests must remember what year of the animal he was born in and, in accordance with this, figure out how to get close to the symbol of the year, for example, the Pig. An example is this: I was born in the year of the Rooster, let’s be friends with the Pig. This goose is not a friend to the Pig, but the Rooster is even a very good friend. Or this: I was born in the year of the Dragon. I promise, Pig, you won't be fried if all year round I will be rich and well-fed. And so on. Whichever guest provides the best proposal for the symbol of the year will receive a prize.

Wisp of desires

Each participant receives a sparkler. One by one, guests light their fire and say out loud wishes to their friends in a noun, for example, health, happiness, peace, prosperity, good luck, beauty, luxury, love, luck and so on. Whichever guest can wish for more “blessings” while his sparkler is burning will win.

Twelve

In advance, 12 items are laid out in the room; these can be buttons, balls, candies, laces, coins, and so on. At the “start” command, each of the guests begins to look for objects, one participant must have one set of objects, that is, one guest decided to collect buttons, which means he is looking for all 12 buttons. The participant who collects their items faster than others will win and receive a prize. Prizes can also be awarded for second and third place.
