Works dedicated to the defenders of the fatherland. We study musical works about defenders of the fatherland

The essence of the game: the player pulls out the task and, without words, only with the help of facial expressions and gestures, tries to explain the task to those present.

New Year's fortune telling

Preparing for the game: prepare a bag of Santa Claus or fortune cookies (you can see the recipe). Predictions can be found ready-made on the Internet, taken from beautiful quotes and the sayings of the sages.

The essence of the game: let everyone get something pleasant for themselves!

New Year's karaoke

Preparing for the game: Download New Year's themed songs in advance and print out the words.

The essence of the game: divide the guests into two teams and hold a singing competition. Who is brighter, more beautiful and more vocal will outsing their rivals.

Decorate the Christmas tree

Preparing for the game: not required

The essence of the game: 2 teams each choose 1 participant - he will be the Christmas tree. The rest, upon a signal and within a limited amount of time, must decorate the Christmas tree. various items, found in the hall. Those whose team did it with great taste won.

Guess the movie by phrase

Preparing for the game: cut in advance audio quotes from various films that mention winter, New Year and other thematic things.

The essence of the game: We turn on the blanks for the guests, they need to guess the name of the film.

Table games

The New Year's table can be so good that you have no strength to get out of it. To prevent your guests from falling asleep while eating salad, invite them to diversify their holiday pastime a little:

Funny toasts

The proposal is this: after each table speech, all those present rise together and in unison make a sound characteristic of the animal symbol of the coming New Year: they crow (Rooster), bark (Dog), hiss (Snake) and so on. If the year of the “silent” sign (Rat or Dragon) arrives, you can choose any word or phrase associated with the New Year: “Christmas tree”, “Fireworks”, “Santa Claus”. The main condition is that you need to shout the same thing every time.

Remember the movie

If cinema connoisseurs are gathered at the table, you can offer them a quiz game on the topic of cinema as entertainment. Its essence is simple - everyone present at the table calls in a circle pictures with a New Year's, Christmas or simply winter theme (preferably well-known ones). Anyone who cannot name their choice within 30 seconds is eliminated. At the end, only two experts remain who will fight for the first prize.

Who am I

Adapt the game to the holiday theme. Hand out pre-prepared cards with the names of New Year's and fairy tale characters(options - Santa Claus's deer, elf, Snow Maiden). Ask them to attach them to your forehead without looking. Next, according to the standard scenario, the participants in the game ask questions to those around them in a circle, trying to guess whose role they are playing.

Calm and active games for children for the New Year 2019

We must also not forget about the children present at the New Year celebration, otherwise their pranks or whims can ruin the entire celebration for adults. Depending on the age and temperament of the children, you can offer different entertainment to young guests.

Games with snow

There is no need to go outside at all - excellent snowballs are made from cotton wool or crumpled sheets of paper. Game options: collect soft lumps from the floor into baskets, throw them from a distance into empty buckets, build a “snow” tower.

Guess by touch

Participants take turns putting on thick mittens and blindfolds, after which they must guess which vegetable or fruit is lying on the table in front of them. You can use everything you can find in the kitchen: carrots, beets, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, bananas.

Dress up the mummy

Divide the children into groups and ask them to create a mummy by wrapping toilet paper around one of the team members. If the entertainment seemed too short, you can continue it - invite the children to paint their “creation” with acrylic paints.

Prepare small prizes that you will give to children for winning competitions. Don’t deprive the losers either - let them get the reward “for the will to win”, otherwise you will not avoid tears and resentment.

Entertainment on New Year's Eve 2019 for adults

And these entertainments are suitable for a group of different ages. Their goal is to provide an opportunity to express themselves “to the fullest.” Choose from the following ideas.

Let's act out a fairy tale

Write a script for the future performance in advance. You can take any one as a basis. popular fairy tale and remake it for the appropriate occasion. As an option, give “Chicken Ryaba” an anti-alcohol orientation: the grandmother and grandfather could not break an egg because they celebrated the New Year “strongly.” Or transfer the plot to other conditions: Kolobok was actually supposed to be the main dish at festive table. Be sure to prepare primitive costumes (the main thing is to identify the characters), and play the roles of actors and spectators among the guests in the lottery.

Let's dance until we drop

Organize fun dance competitions to the most famous tunes from around the world. For example, men will be able to compete in the performance of “Gypsy”, and ladies – “Lezginka”. If “both old and young” are present at the holiday, invite everyone to warm up to the dance of the little ducklings or the “lambada”. The main thing here is to light up others by example and “pull” guests from their occupied sofas and armchairs.

Sing like the stars

What else can you do to entertain guests at home for the New Year if not by singing karaoke songs! To a special New Year's program include songs from the films “Enjoy Your Bath”, “Sorcerers”, cartoons “Well, Just Wait” (duet of the Snow Maiden and Father Frost), “Holidays in Prostokvashino” (“If only there were no winter”) and other hits with a New Year’s theme. Prizes for the best performance are required!

There is not much time left before the New Year's celebration. However, it is quite enough to organize and think through an original feast. Special attention should be given entertainment program, because without it, any holiday turns into the usual eating of festive dishes. How to entertain guests? Our ideas will help.

The right time to visit

It is recommended that guests be invited for a joint celebration this night no earlier than 10 p.m. Not everyone can party all night long. Most people, if the feast begins earlier than the specified time, manage to either get tired (the working day makes itself felt) or make it worse with alcoholic drinks.

Feel free to invite guests to social events useful work. Let someone wash, set the table, someone do the cutting. Some guests can handle preparing cocktails quite well. Someone can be entrusted with selecting fun music. In a word, from each according to his abilities. When everyone is busy, no one will be bored. If the company is active, functional roles can be distributed. The most active and cheerful person should be appointed as a toastmaster, an excellent hostess - “assigned to the table.”

Visit of Santa Claus

No one New Year can't do without Father Frost and his granddaughter. Even if an adult company is gathering, think in advance who will play these comic roles.

Be sure, as hosts, to prepare small and, if possible, useful souvenirs. For example, these could be symbols of the next year, little things with its image - pens, a towel, handkerchiefs, and so on.

Competition program

As a rule, watch TV in New Year's Eve Not everyone wants it, or there comes a time when everyone gets bored with the standard annual programs. It's time to have a little competitive program. Of course, its content should be carefully considered. First of all, the program should not be too long and tedious. In addition, competitions should be included that will not confuse those present. For example, you can use the following numbers:

Predictions. On small pieces of paper you need to write good-natured forecasts for next year, place them in a bag, and then invite each guest to draw out a prediction.
The best toast. Each guest, or only those who wish, is given the right to make a congratulatory speech. Then, through a comic vote, which is carried out by applause, the winner is determined.
Fanta. Everyone's favorite competition since childhood. Wishes in this game should also be chosen kind and simple so that guests do not feel awkward.
Dancing on newspapers. The program is also not new, but many are happy to participate in it. For the competition it is necessary to prepare 2 standard newspapers and 2 pairs of participants. While the music is playing, the participants dance on it. You cannot go outside the newspaper. The group that breaks this rule is eliminated from their game. At the excerpt of each melody, the newspaper is folded. Thus, at the end of the issue, only a small piece remains. The winner is the couple that did not go beyond it.

There are a huge number of competition options. Prepare them in reserve and use the program according to the situation. Perhaps the guests will “disperse” and come in to complete the entire competition program, but it is possible that not everyone will be in the appropriate mood. Then the amount of entertainment will have to be reduced a little.

A great idea for a New Year's celebration is to organize theme party. It could be a celebration in retro style, school holiday, evening - immersion in some era.

Have you already started preparing competitions for the New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.

How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the New Year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company of a TV, not to mention a party for fun company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so the game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It's best to organize props and prizes into themed competitions (I use small gift bags for this).
Stock up on prizes. People love to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

Collection of competitions and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions where guests don’t have to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.

You need to prepare a large bunch of balloons in advance (their number should be more number guests just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to find out more friend about a friend - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day does he eat, how much does he weigh, how many times has he stayed for a second year, and so on.

"Not a word of truth"

My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the new year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.

The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:

What tree is traditionally decorated for the holiday?
What film in our country symbolizes the New Year?
What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
who is sculpted from snow in winter?
who on TV addresses Russians with a New Year's speech?
The outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?

It’s better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year’s traditions different countries, or the habits of guests. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer, without saying a word of the truth.

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the New Year 2019, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s a little more difficult to hit the target.

The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws “snowballs” into a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper as “snowballs,” or just take a couple of sets of simple New Year’s plastic balls, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's ones as a “goal”. basketball hoops- getting into them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than getting into a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Certainly, New Year's competitions for adults they may be less athletic.

All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building a New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. The winner is the team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball.

By the way, a little life hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and try to just sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an improvised microphone. This way they will be simultaneously involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course the view dear mother, who speaks soulfully into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the Film Academy for the opportunity to see Battle on the Ice in your own living room - priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his reindeer. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.

Each pair has a “reindeer” and a “Santa” (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

"Collective Letter"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greetings for everyone present. Can be used ready text(as in the image), you can make up your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - they should be called by the guests.

The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say big and beautiful toast- and waves the postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, New Year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's version"

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!

So, you need to prepare the participants - they need to match the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember key phrase and the movement that he must act out when he mentions himself.

The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
The bug itches and complains of fleas.
The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”

After everyone has tried themselves new role, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors act out their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and grunts) a turnip (clap-clap, both of them!) and further according to the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to the end, and the presenter will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly in alphabetical order"

During one of the pauses, the presenter takes the floor and reminds everyone present that New Year's celebration It’s just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter offers to fill the glasses and raise them, but strictly in alphabetical order.

Each guest must make a short toast to his letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second one should start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

A It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
B Let's go healthy in the new year!
IN Let's drink to the old year!
E If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!

The task for everyone present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the New Year 2019, play bunny. On New Year's Eve, it is best to play this game at home when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the presenter says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, preventing him from crouching. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants get into a frenzy.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great competition that you can play without leaving the table.

The presenter will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words, no more needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with the hottest news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on cards? Any set of words.

China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
New Year 2019, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.

"We're jumping into the New Year"

As a family, we often organize jumping as an entertainment for the New Year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings markers and pencils (the brighter the better) and a large sheet of paper (Whatman paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually finished or remains finishing touches. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count out the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the New Year and into the success of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has achieved what - also a topic for table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?

Therefore, we do the following - we hang sweets or small gifts on the Christmas tree. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweets. Christmas tree decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we write not names, but some definitions that the guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join the existing company).

What to write on labels:

The owner of the brownest eyes.
The best high jumper.
To the biggest hooligan (here you will have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
The owner of the best tan.
The owner of the highest heels.
The owner of the most dangerous job.
A couple whose number of buttons on their clothes is 10.
To the one who is wearing more yellow today.

I think you understand the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who vacationed where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of their heels and discuss work.

"Song from a Hat"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and carried out tasks for relatives or colleagues.

In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to put notes with winter and New Year's words, each guest blindly takes a note from a hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

By the way, you will be able to have fun even if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a great idea to compose a small song on the go to the most popular tune, or somehow remake one of the famous New Year's songs previous years.

By the way, this game is also suitable for small company of any age - of course, a schoolchild is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer while playing - after all, cool New Year's competitions unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's competitions for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?

So, the girls put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's competitions for teenagers and young people, wanted to do this competition in reverse - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even with mittens it is convenient to pull the hem of the shirt and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it; it is not easy to do this in mittens.

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

Creative New Year competitions for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.

So, holes are made for the hands in a thick sheet of cardboard. We give the players tassels, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and women's team, and give the task to some to portray the Snow Maiden, and to others - Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are looking for competitions for a New Year’s corporate party, do not forget to find and cheerful music- I use cuttings from children’s for New Year’s competitions 2019 Soviet cartoons, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

"We distribute roles"

Begin fun competitions For the New Year, your family can enjoy this kind of entertainment.

Prepare more fabulous attributes New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper like candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present must play their part. It could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, snow queen, overseas guest- Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunnie boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter starts making a toast or specially woken up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances Mikhailo Potapych.

"Photo tests"

Which cool competitions for the new year without photos?

Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests will be able to take photos in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:

the most decrepit snowflake;
the sleepiest guest;
the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
the hungriest Santa Claus;
the most generous Santa Claus;
the kindest Santa Claus;
the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
the most overfed guest;
the most cheerful guest;
the most cunning Baba Yaga;
the evil Kashchei himself;
the strongest hero;
the most capricious princess;
the biggest snowflake;
and so on…

By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to draw, without looking, the role in which they will be photographed, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deeds to better embody the image. You can laugh during the process, and when you look at the pictures - fortunately, you can do this in just a few minutes.

"Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, but the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in opaque packaging, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags, tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

Pleasant little things can include: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait for these gifts... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, stay good magician and a fortune teller, another New Year’s entertainment from the site:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games you will have for New Year's corporate party or a house party? Share your ideas, because it’s better to prepare table games for the New Year and interesting competitions in advance, and 2019 is just around the corner!
