And they look forward to the coming of the holiday, magic and fun entertainment that this will bring them amazing time miracles. New Year's games For children at home, this is not just an opportunity to have a lot of fun, but also to create a special holiday mood that children will remember for a long time.

When planning a holiday at home, parents should not forget about games, because for children they are no less important than gifts or treats.

All New Year's games for children at home can be divided into competition games, group games with different themes, home games in which only one child will participate along with their parents, including developmental and educational games.

Kids simply love competitions, so games of this type, where participants will also receive prizes, will cause complete delight. Children can be offered a game of collecting cotton “snowballs,” or they can have fun putting them in a basket. An interesting competition will be to see who can make a snowman out of ice cream more interestingly and who can decorate it in the most original way.

Organizing children's competitions is not a difficult task, the main thing is a festive mood, and, as a rule, every child has it. It is also important that all children can take part in competitions, so that no one is left without attention, everyone should rejoice, because this is New Year.

Usually, New Year's holidays bring together entire children's groups; in such cases, you can offer a large selection of a wide variety of group games. At home, children will be able to play football on the table with a tangerine. Children stand around the table, mark the goal, the rules of the game stipulate that they can only operate with their fingers. Children try to score a goal against the opponent using a tangerine as a ball.

A simple and fun way to have fun at the holiday is to solve riddles collectively; adults can even give a little hint. It is also worth inviting children to act out a short episode from a fairy tale, breaking up into groups, or putting on a real fairy-tale performance together.

Except interesting games, you can come up with entertainment that is also useful, for example, it could be a game that trains your memory. Children should carefully examine the Christmas tree, remember as many toys as possible, and then name them from memory.

New Year's holiday is the time to show your Creative skills, for this you can come up with games in which children will show their talents - drawing, modeling, cutting out of paper. The children can be invited to make New Year's cards, hold a competition for the best snowflake cut out of paper, the most original drawing. For such games, you should prepare everything you need in advance: paper, paints, scissors, ribbons, beads, sparkles, Christmas tree cones.

Adults should not stand aside, but join in the New Year's games and entertainment, then any ideas and undertakings will become much more interesting and will leave the most pleasant emotions.

“I’ll sing now!”

On New Year's Day, it is customary to sing songs and dance around the Christmas tree. But this activity can be diversified. For example, when the presenter claps, everyone begins to sing the famous song “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter...”. At the second clap, singing aloud stops, but all participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone starts singing out loud again. The one who enters incorrectly is eliminated.

"Fairy tale character"

Cards are laid out on the table with the names of fairy-tale characters and cartoon characters written on them (with the inscriptions facing down). A participant in the game pulls out any card and, after reading what is written there, must, using facial expressions, gestures, and characteristic sounds, portray this character so that those present understand who he is talking about. we're talking about. The first person to guess pulls out the next card.

Tricks


Learn these simple tricks and... New Year's Eve in the eyes of your guests you will become an unrivaled magician.

Thread on a jacket

You notice a white thread on your jacket and try to brush it off, but the thread remains on the jacket. Then you grab it by the tip and pull. To your surprise (and the surprise of other people), she continues on. You pull further and further until several meters of thread run out.

The secret of the trick: Before performing a trick, you put a small pencil in the inner pocket of your jacket, onto which several meters of thread are wound from a spool. Use a needle to push the tip of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that there are no traces left in your pocket after the demonstration of the trick, if particularly vigilant spectators decide to inspect your pockets. That's why the thread is wound around the pencil.

Three glasses and paper

Place two glass glasses on the table at some distance from one another. Place a sheet of paper on top.

Take the third glass in your hands and invite the audience to place it between the two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. Of course, no one succeeds. Then you demonstrate your “magical” abilities.

The secret of the trick: Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion along the long side, then it can easily support the weight of even a glass cup.

Magic rope

You sit down at a table in front of the audience, show them a rope, put it on the table and say: “I will tie a knot in this rope without using my hands.”

After this, cross your arms over your chest. Taking one end of the rope with your left hand and the other with your right, you spread your arms to the sides. There really was a knot in the rope!

The secret of the trick: There is no special secret here. You just need to take a rope at least 1 meter long. And, of course, carefully rehearse the act in order to be able to grab both ends of the rope from the table.

Magic "patch"

You ask the audience for two coins in denominations of 1 and 5 rubles. Place a 1 ruble coin on a small piece of paper, draw a mark around it with a pencil and then carefully cut out a hole with a diameter equal to this 1 ruble coin. After this, invite the audience to insert a 5-ruble coin into this hole. Nobody has any idea how to do this. Then you can easily solve the proposed problem.

The secret of the trick: Of course, a 5-ruble coin will not fit into such a small hole. But if you bend a piece of paper in half so that the fold line runs through the center of the hole, the hole will turn into a gap. Stretch the paper a little - the diameter of the hole is enough for a coin to slip through it with ease.

Without getting your hands wet

Take a large flat plate, place a coin on it and pour in a small amount of water until it covers the coin. Then ask the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.

The secret of the trick: You light a piece of paper and put it in a glass. Then quickly turn the glass over and place it on a plate near the coin. When the paper in the glass burns and goes out, the water from the plate will collect under it, and the coin will end up in a dry place.

Three layouts

Take any 21 cards and arrange them face up into three cards in seven rows. You should end up with three vertical columns of seven cards each. Invite one of the spectators to remember one card and say which column it is in. Carefully, one by one, place the cards in each column into piles, and then all the piles into one pile. In this case, a stack of cards from the column with the selected card must be placed in the middle between the other two. Then turn the stack face down, again arrange the cards in three columns of seven cards each, and again ask the spectator to indicate which column contains the selected card. Fold the cards into columns and place the indicated column of cards in the middle again. And finally, lay out the cards for the third time and again place the column with the selected card between the other two. Count out ten cards. The eleventh card comes out.

The secret of the trick: the main thing is to always place the column with the hidden card between the other two.

Tricky trick

Take a deck of cards. Invite one of the spectators to choose and remember a card and put it on top of the deck without showing it to you. Then remove the deck and place its lower part on top. Lay out the cards face up and accurately indicate the hidden card.

The secret of the trick: To find the hidden card, we’ll use a little trick. Before demonstrating the trick, we remember the lowest card of the deck. Now, when laying out the deck, the hidden card will lie in front of the card that we spied.

Guessed card

You invite four spectators to sit at the table with you. You deal five cards to everyone. After this, the spectators must remember one card each from those in their hands. You collect the cards and lay them out on the table in five piles. Spectators choose one of the piles. You take the cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. Having received the answer, you accurately indicate the card that they remember.

The secret of the trick: You start collecting cards from the spectator who sits to your left and then go clockwise. Moreover, you collect all five cards at once, and not one at a time. Your cards will be the last to be collected, and they will be at the top of the deck. When you then arrange the cards into five piles, any one of them contains the cards in the order in which the spectators sit at the table. If, for example, a third spectator identifies “his” card, it will be third, counting from the top of the pile, etc.

Kings and ladies

Kings and queens are selected from the deck. You place them in front of the audience in two rows - separately for kings and separately for queens. You stack the cards, placing a stack of kings on top of a stack of queens. The resulting deck of eight cards can be removed by spectators any number of times. Then you hide the cards behind your back, take out two cards and show them to the audience. They see that it is the king and queen of the same suit.

The secret of the trick: Initially, you stack the cards so that the sequence of suits in both decks is the same. Behind your back, you divide the deck into two four-card decks and take the top card from each mini-deck. It will always be the king and queen of the same suit.

Intended number

Invite one of the spectators to think of a number. After this, the spectator must multiply it by 2, then add 8, divide by 2 and subtract the number he has in mind. After a significant pause, you announce that the resulting number is 4.

The secret of the trick: There is no secret, pure mathematics!

Age: 3-99 years

Pmanufacturer (country): activity of one or two people (Russia)

Material: snow, tangerines, equipment as needed

Peculiarities: New Year's competitions for adults and children

Approximate price tag: you can even get it for free

We bought gifts, and, and, a Christmas tree, cut them out for the windows, and brought them to the garden, we even know how to do on New Year’s Eve, but we haven’t yet figured out how to entertain children and adult guests for the New Year. Therefore, today the Observation Zone will tell you New Year's Eve script so that none of the guests remain bored, and no one says about your holiday: “Yes, it was normal, in general, as usual.”

So, in order to run and jump for a reason, it is better to first come up with an idea for an event - a kind of goal of all these competitions. For children, the standard theme was the search for treasure/treasures/gifts from Santa Claus. If adults also participate, then I advise you to come up with something more original, for example, “Winter Olympic Games", "In the Footsteps of James Bond" or "The Mystery of an Abandoned House". Be that as it may, it is best to make souvenirs as a result of the competitions, and it is obligatory for each participant. One of the other important factors for your success as an animator should be right choice and the order of competitions. Active games should alternate with moderately active and absolutely calm (they are also intellectual). Remember, the presenter is unlikely to be able to participate in competitions: his task is to judge, prepare props and monitor fair competition. You will be responsible for creating teams of equal strength, purchasing gifts, eliminating conflicts and, ultimately, announcing the winners. Plus, you will be the one to blame if everyone quarrels, there aren’t enough balloons for someone, the children cry out of resentment, and there aren’t enough prizes. Therefore, if you decide to work part-time as an animator, take it responsibly.

New Year's competitions can be divided into two groups: those held on the street and at home. Of course, it's more fun to play outside, which means let's talk about the first group first. I offer several options - on different ages And different quantities participants.

1. Sculptors. The presenter names a letter, and the participants must fashion any object out of snow whose name begins with that letter. Whoever blinds faster and more reliably wins.

2. Hunting. The balls are tied to the foot of each participant; at the signal of the leader, the players must burst other people’s balls, while maintaining the integrity of their own. The last one with the inflated balloon wins.

3. Repeat. Participants walk in a circle behind the leader and repeat all his movements, except one (for example, “hands up”), which is agreed upon in advance. The one who repeated the forbidden movement is eliminated. I advise you to think through the list of your moves in advance, because at the moment of the game everything will fly out of your head.

4. Shooter. Shooting at targets with prepared snowballs. Another option is snow bowling. If sticky snow is not available, you can wet the snowballs with water or use prepared balloons filled with water and frozen. Empty plastic bottles are suitable as targets.

5. Designer. Let's build a snowman for speed and beauty. It’s great if you prepare equipment in the form of a bucket, a carrot, a scarf and sunglasses with a straw hat.

6. Tangerines. Not using tangerines on New Year’s Day is a sin. Therefore, a relay race with the transfer of citrus fruits must be mandatory.

7. Hidden treasures. We hide the treasure in advance in waterproof packaging and bury it in the snow. Suitable for very young children as it won't be very difficult to find based on your footprints.

8. Artist. This competition can replace making a snowman if there is no sticky snow. We draw the declared characters on the snow, preferably with tinted water. The necessary props are dyes.

9. Lame. A relay race played in teams of two participants, whose nearest legs are tied. The goal is to be the first to reach the finish line. Classic, but funny.

10. Let's pull and pull. A winter version of tug of war, only the rope must be passed through a snowman made in advance. The goal of the game is to tug of war without knocking over the symbol of winter.

11. Finally, one of the following options: stream, let's go, let's go, stop, bouncers or your favorite snow fight. There are no losers here.

If it’s minus 20 on New Year’s Day, if there’s no snow at all, if you don’t have winter clothes and you’re sitting at home, then the Observation Zone has come up with something for you to do just in case.

1. Rhymer. Teams must come up with poems with rhymes you have prepared in advance. It is advisable to compose rhymes on a New Year's theme and use the names of the participants. Yours preparatory work required.

2. Snow in the house. We make snowballs from office paper and see who is the most accurate. Teams participate: one throws, the other catches snowballs in a bag/bucket/pan.

3. Mousetrap. Competition for children. Two adult leaders hold hands, creating a mini-round dance, and say something like this: “We are so tired of the mice, they chewed everything, ate everything. Let’s set up a mousetrap and catch all the mice.” Children run between the hands of the catchers. On last words The adults' hands drop - whoever gets caught joins the round dance. The last one not caught wins.

4. Cook. Within a certain time, the participants in the game must make New Year's menu. For one team, all dishes should begin with the letter “N” (New Year), for the other - with the letter “M” (Father Frost), for the next - with the letter “S” (menu for the Snow Maiden). The team with the longest menu wins.

5. Repeat. The game is similar to the competition for the street, you can modify it. For example, the players stand in a row, with the leader in front of them. He blows one whistle, then two. At one whistle, all participants must quickly raise their right hand up and immediately lower it; You cannot raise your hand after two whistles. The one who makes a mistake takes a step forward and continues to play along with the others. Those who make the fewest mistakes are considered the winners.

6. Get rich. Eight or more people take part in the game. You must have one coin. Everyone is divided into two teams and sits opposite each other at the table. One team receives a coin and the participants pass it to each other under the table. The commander of the opposing team slowly (you can silently) counts to ten, and then says: “Hands up!” The players of the team that passed the coin must immediately raise their hands up, with their hands clenched into fists. Then the commander says: “Hands down!” - and players must place their hands, palms down, on the table. The one who has the coin tries to cover it with his palm. Now the players of the opposite team confer and decide who has the coin. If they guessed correctly, the coin goes to them; if not, it remains with the same team. If small children are playing, the decision about who has the coin is made immediately after raising their hands up.

7. Four forces. The presenter, standing in the center of the circle, throws the ball to any participant in the game and says one of four words: “earth”, “water”, “air” or “fire”. The one to whom the ball is thrown must catch it, throw it back to the leader and, if the word “earth” was said, name any animal that lives on land, if “water” - any fish, if “air” - a bird. And if the presenter says “fire,” the player who caught the ball must silently turn around. Whoever makes a mistake in the answer or hesitates raises his hand up and next time must catch the ball with one hand. If he makes a mistake this time too, he’s out.

8. Masterpiece. Each team receives a New Year's themed word. Using the props you have prepared (paper, scissors, glue, glitter, plasticine, cotton wool, etc.), they need to create a picture.

9. My favorite competition. Participants sit down at a table, each writes on a sticker the name of any character, fairy-tale, real, book or cartoon. Then everyone exchanges papers. Regardless of what is written on the sticker they receive, everyone sticks it on their forehead. Then, one by one, the players ask others questions like “Am I real?”, “Am I a boy?”, “Am I wooden?”, the answer to which can only be “yes” and “no.” The goal is to be the first to guess who you are.

10. You can end the game with your loved ones phantoms or charades.

Happy New Year to you!

For the brave at heart

Guess

Santa Claus suggests putting your hand into a bag in which various small objects are hidden, feeling for one of them and, without removing it from the bag, say what it is. If the item is named correctly, the player takes it for himself. You can put a chocolate bar, a wrapped gingerbread, a pencil candy, a lollipop, an eraser, a coin, a pencil sharpener, a calendar, a tennis ball, an apple, etc. in the bag.

Circle of wishes and predictions

Turn off the lights and light the candles. Sit your guests in a circle and place a chair in the middle of the circle. Guests take turns sitting on a chair. The presenter blindfolds them. The rest of the participants say New Year's wishes to the person sitting in the center. This exchange of wishes creates a friendly atmosphere and adds a little magic to the New Year celebrations.

Inversions of proverbs and sayings

Invite the participants in the game to decipher the inversions of proverbs, book titles, lines from poems and songs. You can offer to guess three shifters (one of each type). Points are awarded for the correct answer. Time to think is limited - 10-20 seconds.

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

Five seconds to think

This game can be played in different ways. The main rule: you have five seconds to answer. The number of correct answers is the number of bonus points.

Option 1. Prepare the required number of question cards and invite the player to take any of his choice (agree in advance on how many cards to take). And then - according to the rules.

Option 2. Ask, for example, five questions to the first player, five to the second, etc.

Own Bingo

Prepare cards for each guest or for a couple, three, etc.

Offer to remove any items from purses and pockets and place one item at a time on empty squares; just in case, prepare a bag of small items. Agree in advance which cells should remain empty: horizontally, vertically, diagonally. And now - in a circle... Each player (or a player from each two or three) takes one item from his card, raises it up and loudly says the name of the item to those present, for example, “telephone”. All players who have a phone on a cell remove it from their cards. The next player repeats everything again, and so on. This continues until someone with certain squares left shouts, “Bingo!”
