Adults are also interested in competitive, team, and fun games. But they need to be alternated with intellectual and calm games. Musical breaks are required so that you can dance or just chat with each other. The main thing is not to overdo it - the atmosphere should be relaxed.
Adults need to remember: no matter who you are at the moment - a guest or the organizer of a holiday, forget about age, do not be afraid to seem funny.
After all, each of us is just an adult child who has just accumulated life experience.
You can play the simplest, frankly stupid games, the main thing is to set the right tone of behavior, this is the main task of the leading characters of the New Year's holiday, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. If from the very beginning you manage to establish contact with the audience, set rules of play and behavior that they easily agree with, then rest assured, the holiday will be fun and interesting. True, the sensations of the audience come with experience, but first you need to learn how to manage the viewer’s emotions. If everything works out for you, it means that the holiday scenario is well thought out, the games and props are well selected.
Let's give an example of a non-standard prop, which is also part of the decoration.
Surprise tree
You need to find a snag 1-1.5 m long, branched, and wide enough. Wash her. Wrap a bucket in thin foil, place a piece of driftwood in it, fill it with stones and cover it with sand, checking to see if the piece of driftwood holds well. Tie the bucket with ribbon and tie it beautiful bow. Pre-prepared, festively packaged New Year's souvenirs are hung on the tree by loops. These can be soft toys, a set of handkerchiefs or stationery (sharpener, eraser, glue stick), key rings, hairpins, a set of hair ties, etc.
Non-standard props also include paper frogs.
(Frog on a flower)
You will need them for the game “Frog on a Flower”. Take a sheet of green paper. We bend it along the lines indicated in the figure, then bend the upper corners of the resulting square to the middle line. We bend the corners of the base of the triangle up and bend them to the sides. We fold the side edges of the resulting workpiece towards the center line. And on the lower part of the model we will make a “step” fold. We turn the frog over and make its eyes from small circles cut out of yellow paper. All that remains is to make a flower on which the frog will jump during the game. A water lily is cut out from a white sheet of paper, leaves are cut out from a green sheet, and glued to the flower.
The players' task is to make the frog jump into the flower. This can be achieved by sharply pressing the “step” with your thumb and releasing it.
Nonsense Chepushinskaya
The essence of the game is that each participant, answering one question, folds the sheet and passes it to another. The more questions, the more interesting the story will be. Questions can be different, for example: Who? Which? With whom? Where? When? What they were doing? How? For what? What happened?
When all the questions have been answered, unfold the sheet and read a very funny story.
New catchphrases
People often use various aphorisms and catchphrases in their speech. But there are people (they are sometimes called “folk distorters”) who turn aphorisms into “flashlights” by replacing some words in expressions, as a result of which the phrase takes on a completely different meaning. Here, for example: you drive more quietly, you see more; those born to crawl move forward easily and imperceptibly. The players’ task is to come up with and write down on a piece of paper continuations to the following aphorisms: for the catcher and..., and the wolves are full..., they cut down the forest..., don’t dig a hole for another..., every cloud has a silver lining...
The one who comes up with the most original endings wins.
Game "Wallet"
We take 4 pieces of bright fabric 40 cm wide, 20 cm high. Sew 4 bags. You need to put a little foam inside to create volume. Let's take a beautiful cord 1 m long. We tie the first bag with one end of the cord, and the second bag with the other.
4 more chairs are needed. We place 2 chairs with their backs facing each other in a row at such a distance that you can walk around the chairs. We place the bags under the chairs so that they look out from under each chair. The game is played to music. It involves 2 couples - 4 people. Music plays and each couple runs after each other around their two chairs. As soon as the music stops, each player must sit on a chair and grab the bag under the chair. Whoever grabbed the bag first won. Participants who win in the first round advance to the second, but each plays for himself until there is only one winner left.
The number of players can be changed at your discretion, and, accordingly, the number of chairs and rounds.
Game "Little dirty trick"
For the game you need the following props: 2 baseball caps, 2 huge buttons cut out of cardboard and covered with foil. 2 teams play. Chairs with baseball caps are placed at a distance from the players. Near each chair there is a person who will voice the victim. The baseball cap is the victim. The first team member with a button in his hands runs to a chair and puts the button under his baseball cap. At this time, the voice-over player loudly shouts: “Ow!” The player runs around the chair and the voice-over participant and, picking up the button, returns to the team. Passes the button to the next one. And so each participant commits a small dirty trick. The team that completes the relay the fastest wins.
Winter fishing
You need a large cardboard box with a round hole cut out of a sufficiently large diameter. This is a “hole”. Various objects are placed in a box, with multi-colored ribbons tied to them.
The items should be very different: a small New Year's souvenir, a toy, a treat, unbreakable Christmas decorations. To make it more fun, you can tie a hat or tie, an apron or someone's shoe. Each “fisherman” participating in the game comes to the “ice hole”, takes the ribbon that he likes, and pulls out the “fish”. Having pulled out an object, he comments on what else this object could be useful for besides its direct purpose. It is advisable that the comments be humorous, but at the same time the sense of proportion should not be changed.
Who will notice more?
Everyone present is invited to name all the objects in the hall that begin with one letter. For example: the letter “r” - hand, belt, shirt... After each answer, count to three. If after this no one names a new word, the person who named the word last gets points and a prize. Then they move on to another letter. The game is played at a fast pace so that there is no time to think, otherwise it will be uninteresting.
What if with both hands at once?
Two players or several pairs participate in the game. They write on paper with both hands at the same time: their name with the right, and their surname with the left. Whoever can do it faster and whose writing is more legible wins.
Comic analogies
The presenter offers an example of a home-grown joke and saying: “If you cut down a Christmas tree, plant a new one.” By analogy, participants must come up with their own sayings: “Drank beer - hand over the bottles”, “Eat a sausage - grow a pig.”
Souvenir behind your back
Everyone stands in a circle. The leader stands in the center. The players pass the souvenir from hand to hand behind their backs. The leader commands: “Stop!”, the player who was stopped shows his hands. If you guess right, he takes the prize, and the loser becomes the host.
Mosaic
If your guests are ready for even more meaningful fun, offer them the following game. Teams or individual players are given reproductions of a winter landscape, cut into several parts. At the signal, everyone must make a reproduction as quickly and correctly as possible in order to get a winning point.
Burime
Guests may want to show off their talents in composing poems to a given rhyme. They play either together or team against team. For example, you and your partner have chosen the following pairs of rhymes: “cat - compote”, “bed - jelly”. Now come up with a poem. You can do it together, you can do it separately, and it will be even funnier when you say one line and your partner says another. And you might get something like this impromptu: “Vasily, my fluffy cat,” the partner picks up: “When he wakes up, he likes to drink compote.” You: “And before going to bed,” he: “Vasily likes to drink jelly.”
Bulletin board
You need to come up with the funniest ad. For example: “I teach you how to play a musical instrument and on your nerves,” “I trade the ugly duckling for a tobacco chicken,” “I buy inexpensive second-hand dollars,” “I cast a shadow on the fence and on my eyelids.” Advertisements should begin with the words: buy, rent, search, build.
Complete the drawing
Drawings depicting a turkey, rooster, goat, fish are fixed so that everyone can see. There is some detail missing from the pictures. As many people participate as there are prepared drawings. The players' task is to install the missing parts and complete them. Whoever is more artistic or funny wins.
Fairy tale
If you have at least 5-10 guests (age does not matter), offer them this game. Take a children's book with a fairy tale. The simpler the better, “Ryaba Chicken”, “Kolobok”, “Turnip”, “Teremok” are suitable. Choose a reader. On separate pieces of paper, write down all the heroes of the fairy tale, including, if the number of people allows, inanimate characters. All guests pull out pieces of paper with roles. The presenter begins to read the fairy tale, and all the characters “come to life.”
Make-up artists
Invite guests to choose a fairy-tale character and make up themselves in such a way as to achieve the greatest resemblance to him. The one who is most similar to his character wins.
Ball dance
All players are divided into pairs. Each couple holds a balloon between their foreheads. The players dance a fast dance. Whoever's ball doesn't fall out or burst before the end of the dance, that couple wins.
Gong game
You will need a small new frying pan, a wooden mallet, two small cords and two belts. We tie a frying pan to one belt using a cord, with the back side facing out and close to the clasp. When the player fastens the belt, she should be in front. We tie a wooden hammer to another belt in the same way. The players' task is to make as many shots as possible using certain body movements. If your evening began long before the New Year, then it is better to play this game around twelve o’clock at night, then there should be twelve strikes. Be sure to time the start of the game so that you have time to fill your glasses with champagne and make a toast before the clock strikes at midnight. If the company is small, then 15 minutes is enough to play. The game is perceived very well by adults and teenagers.
New Year's races
Need two big ones hot air balloon, they will serve as horses. We form two teams. Glue a strip of colored tape to the floor. We give the first participant a “horse”. Holding the ball between his knees, the player jumps towards the colored strip. He turns around and returns to the team, passing the ball to the next one. The team that completes the task faster wins.
Say the opposite
Props: snow ball (foam ball covered with white jersey). The participants of the game (determine the number yourself) stand in a large circle. The Snow Maiden is in the center of the circle. Calling out a word, she throws the ball to the player, who quickly comes up with a word with the opposite meaning and returns the ball. Words can be like this: “fur coat - swimsuit, felt boots - sandals, cold - heat, summer - winter, sun - moon, light - dark, joy - grief, success - failure, etc.
If a player holds the ball for a long time or does not find the right word, he is eliminated from the game. The smartest player who lasts the longest is the winner.
Winter Olympics
This game includes several stages - several games, all winter views sports. The first stage will be cross-country skiing. To do this, we will need two pairs of children's skis without poles if the Olympics are held indoors. And if it takes place on the street, it is better to take real sports equipment: skis with poles, a puck with sticks, sleds, skates, etc.
Two teams of 10-12 people are at the starting line. Opposite the two teams, we place 2 flags on a stand; if outside, we fix them in the snow. Relay game. The first participant on the team puts on skis, walks the distance to the flag and, going around the flag, returns to the team. Passes the skis to another participant and stands at the end of the line. The team that completes the task faster wins.
The second stage is hockey. Props: two pucks, 10 sticks. We cut out the sticks - from kragis or plywood, pasting them with colored tape using the tape wrapping method, we make a puck from a wooden blank or select two identical round boxes, it can be a plastic jar of cosmetic cream or something else, very similar to a puck. You also need 4 flags attached to low risers to indicate the gate. You can use two-liter plastic drink bottles instead of flags. If the holiday takes place at the dacha, the skating rink is pre-filled. Each of two teams of 5 people receives a puck and 5 sticks. Opposite each team there is a goal at a certain distance, they are determined using flags or bottles. In front of the gate, 2 m away, we draw a deep line in the snow; indoors, we draw it with chalk or define it with a strip of colored tape. We put a goalkeeper who is not part of the team at the goal. The first player of each team moves the puck with his stick to the line in front of the goal, tries to score the puck into the goal and, having collected it, returns to his team. He passes the baton to the next participant, and he himself stands at the end of the line. The team that plays the game faster and scores more goals wins.
The third stage is the speed skating relay. Roller racing with obstacles - indoors. Props - skates according to the number of participants or removable rollers that can be worn on any shoes, 10 pins or two-liter plastic bottles with water.
This is also a relay game. Two teams (decide the number of players yourself) must go the distance back and forth, snaking around the pins or bottles standing along them at small intervals. Returning to the team, the player touches the shoulder of the next player, who continues the relay. The winner is the team that dropped fewer pins or bottles during the game and was the first to complete the task.
We are holding another stage of the “Olympic Games” outside. For this we need two sleds and a slide. Two teams are participating. The players stand behind each other on the slide. On command, the first participant in the game sits on the sled, goes down the mountain, lifts the sled up the hill and quickly passes it to the next player. When the last player climbs the hill, the team shouts “Hurray!” so that the winner can be quickly determined.

Everything is so green!
Game participants are invited to take part in the auction. Everyone takes turns naming any of the most popular items in New Year's Eve color - green. It is not allowed to repeat items already named. The last person to name the green object is the winner.
Prize Blind
A rope is pulled and various small prizes are hung on strings. The participant is blindfolded and given scissors. He must go to the rope and cut off the prize he can. Then the next participant gets the scissors.
The prize is by touch
With your eyes closed, wearing thick mittens, you need to determine by touch what kind of item you were given.
Body
Everyone sits down at the table, puts a basket on it, and the presenter says to the neighbor at the table: “Here’s a box for you, put in it whatever you have with “-ok”, if you say anything, you’ll give the deposit.” The neighbor, and after him everyone else, take turns calling words starting with “-ok”: “I’ll put a ball in the box,” “And I’m a scarf,” “And I’m a castle,” etc. Who will let slip or cannot remember the right word, puts the deposit in the basket - a scarf, a pencil, a badge, and so on. At the end of the game, the basket is covered with something and one person takes out pledge after pledge with the words: “Whose pledge will I take out, what should I do?” Everyone is given a ransom - something necessarily funny and light, but with tact.
Black box
Objects or products whose names begin with the same letter are placed in an opaque bag or box. For example, with “k”: book, paints, envelope, candy, potato, button, cassette, cracker.

New Year The time for widespread corporate events is just around the corner. And even at home, many groups of friends will probably want to diversify their vacation with games. And now is the time to pick up competitions for the New Year 2020.
Remember: what is ideal for a small group of vacationers is not at all suitable for a large corporate event. And you can afford more at home than in the same restaurant.
In small companies, it is worth giving preference to those New Year competitions that involve the inclusion of everyone present so that no one gets bored. And it’s not that difficult to place 5–7 people in one competition.
Take care of the prizes in advance. Even an adult wants to receive some kind of material proof of his victory. Let it be the most ordinary sweets, tangerines or simple souvenirs with the symbol of the year. At the end of the evening, participants can count who has collected the most prizes. This is also a lot of fun.
For this competition you will need several identical bottles into which water is poured at different levels. It turns out to be peculiar musical instrument. The bottles are placed on the table, and guests are invited to use an ordinary spoon to perform any New Year's melody on these bottles. The winner is the one who, according to the general opinion, extracted the most similar melody.
Each person in the company takes turns telling a joke. If one of the others says that he knows this joke and really continues it, then the narrator is given a cotton beard. In the end, the one with the shortest “beard” wins. And the “bearded” one can be appointed Santa Claus.
Another very fun competition for the New Year. To do this, you will need to purchase a car fragrance in the shape of a Christmas tree in advance. They usually have a very strong, specific smell. It is hidden somewhere in the room, and guests must find the item by smell.
This competition will again require some cotton wool. You need to make some kind of small and light snowflake. It should be possible to hold it suspended by air flow. A snowflake is thrown up, and the participants must blow on it from below, preventing it from falling. The winner, naturally, is the one whose snowflake falls to the floor later.
3 people can participate in this competition at the same time. The gender of the participants does not matter. One of the three is placed in the center of the room. It will be a New Year's gift. The other two are placed on opposite sides of the “gift” and blindfolded. One is given ribbons in his hands, he must tie bows on the gift by touch. The second one should also untie them by touch.
This competition is designed for a fairly warm company. A piece of paper that is long but not too wide is placed on the floor. A roll of standard wallpaper is ideal. Next, women are asked to cross the “stream” without getting their feet wet, that is, to walk along its two banks with their legs spread wide apart. The first time women try to do this with their eyes open, the second time - with their eyes closed.
Moreover, when the first of them overcomes the “stream”, the rest should be outside the room. When the woman finishes the test, but her eyes have not yet been untied, one of the men present lies down on the “stream”.
The woman's eyes are untied. She sees a man and, naturally, is embarrassed. The next woman is now invited to participate. The first one sees how the competition actually went, calms down and laughs.
This is exactly the rare case when ordinary newspaper headlines can be useful. Journalists now compete especially zealously for originality. Cut out the most unexpected ones and put them in an envelope. Then this envelope is passed around in a circle. Each participant takes out one headline and says “and in my pants...” and reads the headline from the piece of paper he pulled out.
This case has its own characteristics. Funny competitions for the New Year in a restaurant can be quite moving, but not too much so as not to damage the furniture and dishes. Therefore, you should not involve everyone present in competitions at once. It is better to involve 2-3 people. Competitions are also welcome, allowing you to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.
Invite guests to take turns congratulating those gathered and making toasts, but not just like that, but in alphabetical order. The first one says a toast with the letter “a”, the second one with the letter “b” and so on. The fun part, naturally, begins towards the end of the alphabet, around the letters “th”, “s”, as well as hard and soft signs. The winner is the one whose congratulations or toast turns out to be the most fun.
The original involves a competition with a fake, hand-drawn pie, on each piece of which predictions are written or drawn. So, a drawn penny portends wealth; the heart, of course, is love; envelope - news, news, and so on.
You can also hold a competition with a real pie, each piece of which contains such a prediction. Fortune telling and predictions are invariably successful. People always want to know what awaits them in the future. And even if the fortune telling is comic, it brings a lot of pleasure
An ideal competition for the New Year in a restaurant. Firstly, guests don’t have to get up anywhere, and secondly, it’s quite fun and interesting. Remind your guests of the plots of several famous fairy tales, invite them to choose one for themselves and retell it, but slightly changing the genre. It could be a detective story, a thriller, a romance novel. If desired, you can spend several rounds, changing tales and changing genres. In each round, the winner is the author of the most interesting version.
Two participants are selected. They stand with their backs to each other, and a rope tied in a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a harness. A chair or table with a prize is placed in front of each participant at a distance of several meters. The task of the participants is to outweigh their opponent and be the first to grab their prize.
For this cool competition for the new year you will need some delicate product: jelly, jellied meat, soufflé. The task of the participants is to eat their portion as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks. This competition is good because it does not require getting up from the table and is quite fun for both participants and spectators.
Another “sedentary” competition. Each participant is given a pen and paper, where he must write down all New Year's dishes, for example, starting with the letter “n”. When the lists are ready, the participants read them out one by one. The one whose list is longer wins.
This competition could be slightly modernized. Participants do not make preliminary lists, but simply name their dishes one by one. We can't repeat ourselves. Anyone who finds it difficult to answer is eliminated. The last one standing wins. This competition is very good at awakening the appetite, and it is convenient to conduct it, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.
Corporate events usually involve the presence of a large number of people who barely know each other in one place. It is here that employees of different departments meet for the first time, who in ordinary life have no contact with each other, or are even at enmity. Therefore, competitions for New Year’s corporate parties should unobtrusively bring people together. Here team entertainment, pair competitions and the like are used.
Various banknotes in a variety of currencies are drawn randomly on the poster. Banknotes must be recognizable. The participants' task is to count the bills starting from the first and ending with the last. Moreover, all currencies must be counted simultaneously: 1 ruble, 1 dollar, 1 euro, 2 euros, 2 dollars, 2 rubles. The winner is the one who never gets lost.
Since a separate room is most often rented for corporate events, you can usually afford mobile competitions here. For the Diver competition you will need two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in twos, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking through them from the back, try to cover the distance as quickly as possible. This is quite difficult, so you should not make the distance too long, and even more difficult, with big amount turning and obstacles.
The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants place one foot in the bucket and hold it with their hand. They are given a mop in the second hand. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. It remains only to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.
Team competitions are also good for New Year's corporate events. For example, the next one. Participants are divided into 2 teams and each of them is given a ball. First, the teams discover a new planet, that is, they inflate the resulting balloon. And then they pick up markers and begin to populate this planet. That is, draw residents on the ball. When the allotted time ends, the presenter counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.
Don't forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a damaged phone. Participants sit in a circle or in a chain, depending on the capabilities of the room. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers the hidden word into the neighbor’s ear. It is usually advised to do this quickly and indiscriminately. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, there will be many people in a long chain who will hear it incorrectly. Whispering does not improve speech intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final words.
The association game is not too different from telephone. In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbor their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - holiday, and so on.
This competition is best held towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already slightly drunk, have gotten to know each other and are ready for some really fun competitions. Prepare a bag in advance with various funny clothes: felt boots, scarves, scarves, family pants, diapers for adults, quilted jackets, glasses with a mustache, and so on. Contestants are seated in a circle and a bag of clothes is passed around while music plays. When the music stops, the person who still has the bag, without looking, takes out one item from there and puts it on himself. The winner is declared to be the one wearing the least amount of “competition” clothing. However, by the end everyone looks cheerful.
The participants are again divided into two teams and given 8 inflated balloons. Each team has its own colored balls. For example: red and blue. Letters are written on the balls with a marker so that the end result is the word “Snowman”.
You can make other words from these 8 balls. This is what the speed teams will do. The presenter asks questions, the answers to which can be laid out from the given letters. The team that completes the task faster earns a point. The team that scores more points than the opponent wins.
Participants participate in this competition in pairs. The man's task is to create a dress out of toilet paper for his female model. You can't use anything other than paper. But you can do whatever you want with it: twist it, plug it, tie it in a bow. The contestants retire to a separate room, then the girls come out and show off their outfits. Please note, the model must come out wearing THIS itself. The winners are chosen by the audience.
Winter is coming, which means it's time to think about how to properly prepare for the New Year. And it is important, in addition to the menu and outfits, to think through competitions for the New Year and entertainment, because they are the ones who will enliven the company, not let you get bored, and fill the holiday with joy and laughter.
Every home will soon begin to bustle, someone will rush to choose gifts for their loved ones, someone will go after the forest beauty to then decorate it with all kinds of ribbons, balls, bows, crackers and garlands, and someone will create the menu for the New Year's table. You also need to buy it in advance for family and friends.
All this is important, because the holidays do not include:

Both children and adults can participate in the proposed games different ages and generations.
When everyone had already eaten on New Year's Day, they relaxed. Having had a drink, it’s time to start games and entertainment so that the guests don’t get bored. We call two people who want to participate in the game. Everyone stands on a stool and tries to imitate a Christmas tree. Two more volunteers begin to decorate the tree, not with toys, but with whatever catches their eye first. The one who dresses up the most beautifully and originally wins. By the way, it is allowed to take attributes from guests, it can be anything - ties, clips, watches, hairpins, cufflinks, scarves, scarves, etc.
All ages can participate here. Two heroes, whose hands were previously tied, standing with their backs to a stand with a sheet of paper, are asked to draw a symbol next year- A dog. You can use pencils and markers. Participants have the right to suggest - to the left, to the right, etc.
A funny and mischievous game for the New Year's feast. All participants line up like a train, that is, everyone grabs the waist of the person in front. The main presenter begins to tell that his caterpillar is trained and follows any commands.
If she needs to dance, she dances beautifully, if she needs to sing, she sings, and if the caterpillar wants to sleep, then she falls to the side, curls up her paws and snores. And so, the host begins to play disco music, to which everyone begins, without letting go of their neighbor’s waist, to dance, then you can sing karaoke or even while watching TV, and then sleep. The game is funny to tears, where everyone shows themselves in all their talents. Noise and din are guaranteed.
When the guests get tired of running and jumping and sit down to rest, we invite them to play without getting up.
We choose a leader. He finds a jar, or any empty container. He passes it around in a circle, where everyone puts a coin or big money. Afterwards, the presenter secretly calculates how much money is in the jar and offers to guess how much money is in the piggy bank. The one who guesses correctly gets the contents at his disposal.
By the way, on a fabulous evening you can tell fortunes. Therefore, we have the following entertainment for adults:
To do this, we will prepare a lot of airy, multi-colored balloons in advance and put various humorous prophecies in them. For example, “Your constellation is under the influence of Queen Cleopatra, so all the years you will be charmingly beautiful” or “The President of New Guinea will come to visit you” and so on.
Each participant chooses a balloon, bursts it and reads his humorous note to those present. Everyone has fun, we celebrate New Year 2018 with games and entertainment, it will be remembered by everyone.
Here the presenter tells all participants the adjectives they have prepared in advance, or writes them down on a piece of paper so that everyone can see. And after the words, in the sequence in which those sitting at the table call them, he places them in a specially prepared text. Words are added in the order in which they were pronounced. Here's a sample.
Adjectives - wonderful, ardent, unnecessary, stingy, drunk, wet, tasty, loud, banana, heroic, slippery, harmful.
Text:“Good night, most (wonderful) friends. On this (ardent) day, my (unnecessary) granddaughter Snegurka and I send you (stingy) greetings and congratulations on the Year of the Rooster. The year that remains behind us was (drunk) and (wet), but the next one will certainly turn out to be (tasty) and (loud). I would like to wish everyone (banana) health and (heroic) happiness, I will give (slippery) gifts when we meet. Always your (harmful) Grandfather Frost.” Something like this. The game will be a success for a slightly tipsy group, believe me!
The game will be called "Racer"
Great fun for the New Year. So, we borrow toy cars from the kids. On each of them we place a glass filled to the top with sparkling sparkling wine. The cars must be pulled carefully by the string, trying not to spill a drop. Whoever gets the machine first, and whoever drains the glass to the bottom first, is the winner.
The holiday is in full swing and you can try to move on to bold games for the most uninhibited participants.
We've eaten and drunk, it's time to get moving. Let's light up and play.
We call two participants to the Christmas tree. We tie their hands behind their backs, and put some fruit on the dish, say a tangerine or an apple, a banana. The task is to peel the fruit and eat it without touching it with your hands. Whoever did it faster won. The winner is given a souvenir as a keepsake.
Two wonderful participants are needed here. We blindfold the young ladies and, to the music, we force them to remove from Santa Claus all the clothespins that were previously put on him. In chorus we count the removed clothespins; whoever has the most wins. Clothespins can be attached to the most unexpected places. But keep in mind, this is not a game for the shy.
Everyone can participate. What is the essence of the game: pass the hat to each other, without hands, and the one who drops it tries to put it on his neighbor’s head, also without using his hands.
We continue the list of New Year's competitions and entertainment and next in line funny game. Two participants must lift the matchbox with matches held in their hands. Or another test. We hand everyone a piece of paper with a tongue twister written on it. The one who pronounces the verse faster and more clearly wins. An incentive souvenir is required.

Children come in different ages, so we have specially prepared entertainment for both toddlers and older children, school age so that everything is exciting and interesting on this magical New Year's Eve. By the way, you can dress up children in costumes of fairy-tale characters and hold a competition for the best costume or a “Guessing” competition.

This entertainment will bring you laughter and joy. All participants must say what they like and dislike about their neighbor at the table. For example: I love my neighbor’s cheeks on the left, but I don’t like his hands. And this participant must kiss what he loves and bite what he does not like.
