The closer winter gets, the closer the most beloved and long-awaited holiday called - New Year. The coming 2016 is the year of the monkey. This means that we all need to make faces, have fun and be like a monkey. Many won’t even have to try, since they are just like monkeys. And someone will have to work hard to please the monkey, the symbol of 2016. Competitions we offer for the New Year 2016 and New Year's games and entertainment will help you spend New Year's Eve by 100 and even 200 percent. See all our ideas, bring them to life, and let the year of the monkey be remembered by you forever.
1 competition.
Everyone knows that monkeys love to make faces. And everyone knows that man descended from a monkey. And the first competition will return us, people, to our distant ancestors. The essence of the competition is to show faces like monkeys. And for this you need to prepare cards with images of monkey faces. Place all the cards on a tray so that the images are at the bottom. Each guest in turn takes out one card, places it on his face so that everyone can see the image, and must make the same face himself. Whoever gets the most similar and funniest face wins.
Examples for the competition:
Competition 2.
Everyone, or almost everyone, has seen and knows the cartoon where one mother monkey is constantly trying to look after a bunch of her little monkeys. And at the same time she still has to do household chores. And this cartoon gives us a second competition. Girls participate in the competition. They put funny monkey masks on their faces. And each mother has three children - men or boys. “Children” sit at chairs. And there are tables in front of the mothers. There are five bananas on the tables. Moms' task is to peel the bananas, cut them and make a banana salad. That is, add yogurt to the chopped bananas. And then use a small spoon to feed your “children.” Whichever mom can handle it faster wins.
Competition 3.
Next, you can hold a team competition. That is, divide the guests into several teams. Each team must come up with their own “list of 16”. This “list of 16” is a list of 16 things and objects that can be hung on christmas tree. And since 2016 is the year of the monkey, everything must begin with the letter - O. Each team is given exactly 2 minutes. After that, one person from each team comes out and reads out their list. Whoever turns out to be funnier and more interesting brings victory to his team.
And don’t forget to watch for you and your guests. Stage skits and let them give you moments of joy and wild laughter.
Competition 4.
In our opinion, the most famous monkeys are: King Kong and Tarzan. And in this competition we need two men. One will be Tarzan and the other King Kong. It would be even better if the men were dressed appropriately.
Men go on stage and their task is to compete in the same exercises. First, they both have to make their signature screams. Tarzan screams in his own way, and King Kong screams in his own way, just like in the movies.
Then they can compete in gaits. You can, for example, moonwalk like Michael Jackson.
Next, you can eat bananas for speed. Five bananas each. They clean them and eat them. Whoever is first wins.
And finally, you can arrange a dance competition. Play different melodies and different styles. Whoever dances better and more original wins.
And then the audience will choose one winner.
Competition 5.
What is the most famous fable? That's right - “monkey and glasses.” So our guests will be monkeys. All that remains is to buy more funny glasses. False mustache and so on. We put all this in a bag. The first participant goes off stage. There they put on funny glasses, a false mustache and a wig. In general, they apply makeup. When he is dressed, any dance music sounds and the participant goes on stage. On stage he must dance in this outfit. And so does every participant. Then the audience determines the winner of the competition by applause.
We carry interest and love for the holiday called New Year throughout our lives; from it we expect gifts, miracles and special fun. What kind of fun would it be without New Year's games, competitions, fairy tales with dressing up and funny entertainment!? Moreover, everyone wants to move around a little and have some fun after the traditionally generous New Year's table with all sorts of goodies and drinks!
On holiday entertainment program It is recommended to include various comic fortune-telling and predictions, but, most importantly, do not forget to choose games and competitions suitable for the gathered company; the festive mood of all guests will largely depend on this.
Offered here New Year's games and competitions for a wide variety of tastes: creative, funny, active and moderately spicy . This funny Games For cheerful people, some of them will come in handy corporate parties, others are more suitable for home holidays and a close group of friends. Think about which ones you need, and play New Year's Eve with fun and pleasure!
1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming.."
This entertainment can be carried out immediately before the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden and involve all the guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand so as not to disturb each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not by shouting, but by an unusual New Year's dance. The point of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's poem with sign language.
Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,
Santa Claus is coming to us!
And we know that Santa Claus
He brings us gifts! Hooray!
All words are replaced with gestures: “coming” - walking in place, “Santa Claus” - placing a hand with outstretched fingers to the chin (representing a beard), the combination “to us” - with a gesture pointing to oneself. To show the word “we know” we put a finger to the forehead, the word “we” is a gesture pointing to all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag on the shoulders, and with the word “gifts” - everyone depicts what they dream of. "Hooray!" - everyone is stomping and clapping
For greater interest, it is better to change words for gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until the last word disappears, and only gestures remain with cheerful musical accompaniment.
And when they start clapping (meaning “hurray”), Father Frost and the Snow Maiden appear, handing out gifts to the “artists” (if any are provided) or starting their program.
2. New Year's competition "Race for Fortune"
The role of “luck” in this competition will be played by durable, unbreakable Christmas tree decorations, for example, large and colorful balls. Another piece of equipment you will need is children's plastic mini hockey sticks (or Chinese back scratchers), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).
At the start, participants have children’s clubs (or back scratchers) tied to their belts, and the finish line is marked with chairs for each. The chairs will also serve as gates into which players must drive their “ball of luck.” This can only be done with the help of clubs, and in no case should you help with your hands.
Naturally, the one who scores a goal faster wins - he will “drive luck” into his own goal. He is given a good luck talisman (a Christmas tree decoration), he is declared “lucky of the year” - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who just caught luck, so that they too will be lucky.
3. "Be my Christmas tree!"
First, participants in this competition cut out a Christmas tree toy from colored cardboard. Then, using the resulting clothespin or paperclip, they must hang the “created miracle” on the Christmas tree, but... blindfolded. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having been “deprived” of their sight, are spun around their axis and then asked to walk to the Christmas tree. In this case, the Christmas tree for everyone will be the first thing they bump into - that’s where they should hang their toy.
Usually, rarely does anyone get to a real Christmas tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the best one and can even hang his work on it.
4. Competition at the New Year's holiday "The most resourceful Snow Maiden."
To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). The girls are blindfolded, and about ten men are hidden in their clothes. Christmas decorations. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, in a bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel, and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything breakable, piercing or cutting in this game.
The task of the “Snow Maiden” girls is to discover everything hidden on their partner’s body. Naturally, the girl who discovers larger number toys for the allotted period of time.
5. New Year's greetings for the boss.
This is a party competition. The presenter will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The presenter asks such an innocent question: which animal, bird or flower (if the boss is a lady) does each of you associate your boss with?
Then everyone comes out, names their association and depicts it, on the command freeze - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything is repeated - a whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees have decided not to waste time on trifles and give the boss an instant painting by Repin “We Didn’t Expect” or a painting by an unknown author “The Morning After the Corporate Party.”
Perhaps it will be more fun if we limit the associations only to the animal world and then imagine it as a painting by an unknown author, “Animals at a Banquet.”
Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the “native” authorities will melt from the attention shown to him personally.
6. “Naughty” signs.
At the beginning of the drawing, six players are shown six signs depicting a green Christmas tree, a bottle of champagne, a roll of toilet paper, chair, pack of New Year's napkins and beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit with their backs to the hall, and it is announced to them that one of the shown signs is attached to their chairs in random order, they make a guess at random which one and, in accordance with their guess, answer the questions:
- What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into a home?
- What do you think guests do when they pick you up?
- How often does the owner use you?
- Where do you go after use?
- What can replace you if you really need it?
- What material do you think they are made of?
There are no losers or winners in this prank game, but everyone deserves applause.
7. Game moment "Road to the New Year"
(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)
The text is read by the Presenter. The guests line up and step at the appropriate moment.
Leading. The road to the New Year awaits you,
And he will walk along it all year,
Whoever takes what they need.
We're heading out in droves for the New Year...
Did you take everything with you on the journey?
Since health has been taken,
Take a wider step forward!
Are we in the mood?
Let's take a step together!
We take on problems... Well, alas...
You must not step forward!
And who decided to take it anyway?
You'll have to return it back!
We'll grab the money, because they
We must influence our lives.
And how many pockets can you count?
You'll walk so many steps!
Who's behind? Friends will help you
Have...another pocket.
Those who lag behind are pinned an additional pocket.
You also need to take hope,
It's somehow more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We can’t live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you, children, have?
According to their number, you take steps faster.
Who will take friendship with them on the journey?
He boldly takes a whole step forward.
And who decided to take the blues?
I ask you to step back!
And happiness won't hurt us.
Let it accompany everyone,
And it will enter every home...
Let's take it one step further!
Now turn to each other
And hug tight!
Let's celebrate the New Year together
And walk along his path
Forward! Against adversity!
Happy New Year to everyone!
The leader hands the first person in the line a bottle of champagne.
Feel free to take a bottle of champagne,
Treat each other to champagne now.
May your path be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!
8. “Live” chairs.
In this game, Santa Claus himself “drives”. He recruits participants, there must be at least ten of them, and seats them on chairs. The chairs are arranged in a checkerboard pattern with the seats facing each other. First, they place the number of chairs corresponding to the number of participants involved in the game. The players sit down, and Santa Claus begins to walk around to the New Year's song, and the one next to whom he hits the floor with his staff gets up from his place and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.
Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out various pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows on his heels must clearly follow all his “zigzags.” From the outside it turns out to be quite an interesting sight, because this whole procession, following Grandfather, either crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.
However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, they need to run headlong to the chairs and take their place. In fact, while this whole “caterpillar”, led by Grandfather, is “walking,” one chair is removed, so that upon return one of the players will not find a place for himself.
After this trick, the game is repeated again, only for the second time two chairs disappear - then the game continues until the last “survivor” (he gets a prize).
9. New Year's "Crocodile"
Even such a well-known game as “Crocodile” can be presented in a new way at the New Year’s holiday. For example, the theme of guessing pantomimes is to make comic scenes from life and “everyday work”... Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
To do this, the presenter prepares in advance a lot of paper cards with approximately the following content about Santa Claus: “Father Frost fell asleep after a children’s party in a bag of gifts,” “Father Frost grabbed a surplus and woke up in bed with the Snow Woman,” “Father Frost’s children were stolen beard”, “Father Frost received a telegram asking the Moscow Zoo to give him a deer”, “Father Frost ate too much ice cream”, “Father Frost gave the Snow Maiden underwear”.
About the Snow Maiden something like this: “The Snow Maiden will cheat on Father Frost with the Snowman”, “The Snow Maiden worked at a matinee in a sex shop”, “The Snow Maiden gave birth to twins to Father Frost”, “The Snow Maiden found Father Frost in bed with the Snow Queen”, “The Snow Maiden was paid 1000 dollars for a striptease”, “After the holidays, the Snow Maiden gained 6 kg”, etc.
Select tasks for a specific company; of course, they should be different for an adult party and for a family holiday.
The rules can be changed a little, for example, divide the participants into two teams, each one draws a card for themselves. Then, one by one, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what is written in pantomime style, and the opposing team guesses. You can limit the time, and at the end of the game you can count which team guessed more, or you can not do this at all, because the main thing is general fun.
10. "Who is this?"
While the adults are sitting at the table, the children are running around and turning everything upside down? Or, worse, they suddenly go quiet and make you nervous - is everything okay? Maybe they're just bored? Uncontrolled kids at a party can turn into a real natural disaster! To prevent this from happening, it is better to prepare a separate entertainment program for young guests.
Some of the adults will have to take a break from the party for an hour and a half - but the kids will get their share of real New Year's pleasure, have a lot of fun, and then get tired, calm down and won't mind taking a nap. And adults will be able to safely continue the celebration. The main thing is to prepare several fun competitions for your little guests in advance and pack small gifts.
Be sure to allocate a separate room in which you can play and relax. It is also good to provide a place for a sweet table - children will certainly be interested in having tea separately from adults. When the kids are tired, they will need somewhere to sleep. Stock up on pillows and blankets, and tidy up the room so that play props can be quickly put away, turning the space into a bedroom.
The main thing is that the children have a fun company on New Year's Day!
How to prepare for the New Year?
- Invite more children. Of course, we are not talking about setting up a small kindergarten in the house. But if only one family with a child is going to visit, try to organize for him a company of two or three children of about the same age. Then the children will play together and will not distract adults.
- Pay close attention to the props. Try not to use breakable or breakable items, especially if there are small children in the company. A group of kids needs an eye and an eye, and it’s easy for fidgets to get hurt. Choose games that require cardboard, paper, tape and other safe items for props.
- Take care of the prizes. Children's parties are precisely those situations in which the main thing is not victory, but participation. Even if a team or individual child does not win the competition, they should not be left without gifts. Have gifts for all the kids present. It’s good if you warn the children in advance: after the competitions, a sweet table and surprises await them. Then everyone will understand that they will receive a gift, even if they don’t win, and the evening will pass without conflicts, tears and resentment.
- Consider the age of the children. If peers come to visit, it simplifies the task. If the company includes both little ones and older children, different cultural programs will have to be prepared for them. In this case, it is good to appoint a leader for each of the groups so that no one gets bored. Just don’t entrust this task to older children: they came to have fun, not to look after the younger ones. The little ones will probably get tired earlier, so provide them with a separate place to rest (after all, older children will probably still be playing) or quiet entertainment. For example, a laptop with a new cartoon.
Carrot (relay race)
Number of participants:
Props: 2 artificial Christmas trees, 2 plates, 2 carrots.
There are Christmas trees in front of each team. Children choose who will start the relay race. The first participants are given plates with carrots. On command, both participants run with the “load” in their hands to the tree and back, and then pass the baton to the next person on the team. The task is not to drop the carrots from the plate. The presenter counts how many times this happened to the first and second teams. The group of guys who had least amount"losses".

The first participants receive scooters. When the leader gives the command to start, they set off on the road. The task is to drive the route, maneuvering between obstacles, and not knock over a single “buoy”. You need to drive in one direction and the other. As soon as the captains return, they are replaced by the second participants. The presenter counts how many obstacles were knocked down. The winner is the team whose “buoys” remained in place more often.
Fisherman (relay race)

There should be as many fish as there are participants in each team.
The first players in each group take fishing rods and go to the pond. The task is to hook a fish and drop it into a bucket. After this, the player returns and passes his fishing rod to the next one. The first team to catch all the fish from the pond wins.
Best Footballer
Number of participants: any, but even (two teams).
Props: two items that will replace the gate, for example, boxes (they should be placed on their sides); as well as two containers with table tennis balls.
Children stand in a row behind each other. The presenter announces the beginning. The guys standing first in the rows take a ball out of their containers, put it on the floor and roll it all the way to the gate, trying to hit it. Then they return to the team and become the last in the row. The second participants do the same. The game continues for a certain time, after which the presenter gives the command “Stop!” and goes to count the “goals”. The team that manages to put more balls into the goal wins.
When choosing games, be sure to take into account the age of the invited children! Christmas tree beauty

The game continues for a certain time, after which the host stops the process and recounts the dishes on the list. The team that comes up with the richest menu wins.

Competitions and entertainment for the New Year 2016 New Year's games and entertainment
Drawing a monkey is the first competition!
New Year's holiday is coming soon! How will we celebrate? Well, of course, under the tree, behind festive table, with friends, acquaintances, family, relatives and just with good people! What do you need for the holiday? Wow... Good mood!
This festive chaos is known to every tipsy group))
A good mood is created by the holiday atmosphere, gifts, delicious food, and festive attributes. Well, if everything is clear with the latter: a Christmas tree, confetti, costumes and outfits, everything is in order with the festive table: Olivier, jellied fish, herring under a fur coat, tangerines, sweets and champagne, then with good mood we need to look more closely. Here you cannot do without an action plan. First: you need to make a plan for how you will have fun during the holiday before the chiming clock and after. So that the holiday does not turn into a stupid drunken conversation: “Do you respect me? Happy New Year, hurray!..” - it is necessary to observe the ritual of this homely and beloved magical holiday. We sat, ate, drank, danced, watched TV, played with the children, walked, rode a slide, went to visit, congratulated friends and acquaintances by phone and via SMS. If you are in the company of familiar people, then this can be some kind of entertainment, if in the company of strangers, it can be different.
Who has the festive light burning the longest?... He wins!
However, all competitions should be fun, mischievous, somewhere impudent, sounding on the verge of a foul. After all, today is a holiday, today is New Year! You can fool around, have fun recklessly and creatively, positively, so that it will be remembered for a long time! How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it!
Making your dad a Christmas tree out of toilet paper is also a good competition!
We remember that the coming year is the year of the Monkey. Therefore, as incentive prizes, you must collect what she loves: bananas, nuts, oranges. The second prize could be lemons and kiwis - something a little more sour. The Monkey also loves to dress up. So it can be bows in her hair, ribbons, bright hairpins, and it doesn’t matter that the winning “girl” is already 48 years old or older - the fact itself is important! And for “boys” with gray beards, you can give a car, a pistol, preferably a pacifist water pistol, a sticker with Spider-Man, etc. as a prize. Sweep away everything fun, inexpensive and funny for congratulations! It doesn’t matter WHAT you give, it matters HOW you do it, in what mood you present it.
“And now solo!..”
The first competition may be acquaintance. Everyone sitting in turn calls their name, and each next person calls all the previous ones: “Sasha, Nadya, Alexey, Irina, Yulia, Maxim...” - etc. It will be the hardest of all for the last one, who must name everyone from beginning to end, including his beloved self. Next in reverse side: the latter calls himself by name, adding an epithet that he considers applicable to himself: “Igor the businessman.” And it went in the opposite direction! The next one says: “Igor is a businessman, Natasha is a favorite of cats! Sveta is a sweet candy! Maxim is the king of the road!” and so on. You can give yourself a variety of epithets! If someone is confused, you can give a forfeit - this is something as a punishment for completing a task: sing a song, wash a mug, peel a tangerine, etc. Or you can just have a good laugh for everyone! Be bolder and more creative!
But it’s better to catch snowballs with your hem!...)
The well-known song competition can be used for those who love to sing: we sing songs about the New Year, dividing into two teams. Who will sing more songs about snow, frost, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, New Year's celebration etc. The task is clear. You can sing songs, stopping them mid-phrase, and then the opposing team begins to sing the song from the word where the opposing team stopped: “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter...”, one team sings. “Winter-winter! I'm going crazy about her! - the second team continues with this word. If they don’t know the words, you can use your gadgets and continue the battle on mobile phones- It's the 21st century.
As long as the company is sober, you can bring everyone to a positive mood by inviting everyone in a circle to call their neighbor by an affectionate name. Whoever slowed down, couldn’t find the words, lost, fulfills the task of the leader or the entire team.
Everyone simply has to come in a fancy dress!
For intellectuals, you can hold a competition of poems, quotes from great people, dedicated to a holiday or just something positive. From the classics you can move on to quotes from Soviet/Russian cinema.
Snowmen are also different!..
Of course, they don't stand aside dance competitions. Dance on a newspaper, for example. The number of dancers who can fit on the newspaper with at least one foot is called out. During the dance, the newspaper is torn in half, four times, etc. The number of people dancing is getting smaller because there is less and less space on the newspaper. Finally, the fight is between the two, and someone wins, performing a victory dance on a tiny piece of land that fits under their feet.
Entertainment at the dacha on holiday is the best!
Adults love to play the game 12 notes with children. If 12 notes are too many, you can reduce it to 6, to 9. The game is successful if it is played in country house. All guests with children look for notes one after another, each of which gives instructions on where to look for the next one. The last note indicates where the treasure is hidden, which, as a rule, turns out to be either candy, or a toy, or fireworks, a firecracker, etc. The game is interesting because everyone is excitedly rummaging through the snow, looking for a note, in cars, on trees, on a Christmas tree, in the pockets of friends who don’t even suspect that they have treasure hidden there, etc.
If the New Year is celebrated at the dacha, you can arrange a small bonfire there, on which all the troubles and misfortunes that happened this year will be solemnly burned, and new wishes will be written down that can be buried in the snow.
Hide your main wish for the whole year in one of the salads! Who will get it?..
If there is no such person who will become the ringleader and soul of the company, then you can give everyone the task of preparing one competition each and holding it yourself. Be sure to help those who are embarrassed or doing this for the first time. Remember that we create the mood ourselves! And the Christmas tree, champagne, tangerines and the chiming clock with fireworks only help us with this! Happy New Year! Happiness, joy and fun to you this year!
To make the New Year's holiday fun, arrange for your guests interesting competitions and games. They will certainly lift the spirits of those present and contribute to a positive holiday. We offer you proven fun competitions for the New Year 2016. Choose a host (by the way, it can be not only Santa Claus, but also any other character), and have a blast!
New Year 2016 competitions for children
Christmas trees
All guests play, competition for attentiveness. The presenter tries to confuse the participants and says: “Let's imagine that we are in the forest and you are all different Christmas trees. You need to show what kind of Christmas trees you are. When I say “high,” you need to raise your arms up, when “low,” you need to sit down, and when you say “wide,” you need to spread your arms to the sides. The one who made a mistake leaves the game and receives a small incentive gift (small candy). The winner, the most attentive player, receives the main prize.
