Snowball we all roll,
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -
You sing a song!

Whoever has a "snowball" on the last phrase, he fulfills this wish. The last phrase can be changed: "And you read poetry!", "You dance to dance!", "Tell you a fairy tale!" and so on.

"Joke" with a beard ""

The contestants take turns telling jokes. If one of those present knows the continuation, a "beard" is attached to the narrator, which is replaced by a piece of cotton wool. The winner is the one who ends up with fewer pieces of cotton wool.

"Cooking Competition"

For a certain time (for example, 5 minutes), the participants in the game must make New Year's menus. All dishes in it must begin with the letter "H" (New Year). Dishes on the menu for Santa Claus should begin with the letter "M", and for the Snow Maiden - with the letter "C". Whoever has the largest menu wins.

"Now I'll sing!"

In the New Year, it is customary to sing songs and dance around the Christmas tree. But this activity can be varied. For example, on the clap of the presenter, everyone begins to sing the famous song "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree ...". On the second clap, singing aloud stops, but all participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone starts singing aloud again. The one who entered at random is out.

"Fairytale character"

Cards are laid out on the table, on which the names of fairy-tale characters, cartoon characters are written (inscriptions down). The participant in the game pulls out any card and, having read what is written there, must use facial expressions, gestures, characteristic sounds to portray this character so that those present understand who they are talking about. The first person to guess draws the next card.

"Cinderella"

The game is played by two people. Each participant is blindfolded and offered to make out his own slide, in which peas, beans, lentils, dried mountain ash are mixed (ingredients can be changed, depending on what is in the house). Blindfolded participants sort the fruits into groups. The one who completes the task first wins.

"Mystery Prize"

A small gift (notebook, pen, etc.) is wrapped in paper, on which a piece of paper with a riddle is glued. Once again they are wrapped in paper - and the sheet with the riddle is glued again. There can be any number of such layers, it all depends on the number of players. The participant unfolds one layer of paper, reads the riddle to himself and says the answer aloud. Then he unfolds the next layer, reads the riddle to himself again and says the answer. If he doesn't know the answer, he reads the riddle aloud. The first person to guess this riddle unfolds the next layer of paper. The winner is the one who guesses last riddle, will get to the gift.

"Mobile phone"

The participants in the game call the numbers in order. Those who get the number 5 or multiples of it say "jin-jin". Those who get the number 7 and multiples of it say "ding-dilin". The one who makes a mistake is out of the game.

"Choose a prize!"

Various gifts wrapped in small bags are attached to a long rope. The participant of the game is blindfolded and given scissors. He must cut some gift, which he gets.

"Shoe for Cinderella"

Participants in the game put their shoes in a pile and blindfold themselves. The host shuffles shoes into a pile and gives the command: "Find your shoe!". Blindfolded contestants need to find their own pair of shoes and put them on. Whoever completes the task faster, wins.

"Hurry"

For this contest you will need sweet jelly or, for example, halva. The winner is the one who quickly eats the portion offered to him with a toothpick.

"Harvesters"

The participants of the game are divided into 2 teams. The task of each team is to move as many oranges or tangerines as possible to a certain place without the help of hands in a certain time (for example, 10 minutes).

"Guess"

Each participant in the game is attached to the back of a piece of paper with the name of an animal, object, etc. (for example, an elephant, a pen, a pear, an airplane), but in such a way that the players do not know what they have written in their pieces of paper. But they can read what is written on the back of others. Participants in the game must ask each other leading questions to find out what is written on their backs. The answers can only be "yes" or "no". The first person to guess their "name" is the winner. The game is played until the last guesser. All receive consolation prizes.

"Sculptors"

This competition is best held outdoors. The host calls the letter, and the contestants must fashion any thing out of the snow that begins with this letter. Whoever blinds faster and more reliably - he won. At home, you can hold this competition using plasticine.

Focuses

Thread on the jacket

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

Focus secret: Before showing the trick, you put a small pencil in the inside pocket of your jacket, on which several meters of thread are wound from the spool. Using a needle, thread the tip of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that after demonstrating the trick, there are no traces left in your pocket if especially vigilant spectators decide to inspect your pockets. Therefore, the thread is wound on a pencil.

Three glasses and paper

Place two glass glasses on the table at some distance from each other. Place a piece of paper on top.

Pick up the third glass and invite the audience to place it between two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. Nobody succeeds, of course. Then you demonstrate your "magical" abilities.

Focus secret: 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 in front of the audience at the table, show them the rope, put it on the table and say: "I will tie a knot on this rope without using my hands."

After that, 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 is a knot on the rope!

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

Magic "Piglet"

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, trace around it with a pencil and then carefully cut out a hole equal in diameter to this 1 ruble coin. After that, invite the audience to put a 5-ruble coin into this hole. Nobody knows how to do it. Then you can easily solve the proposed problem.

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

Without getting your hands wet

Take a large flat plate, put a coin on it and pour a small amount of water so that it covers the coin. Then invite the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.

Focus secret: You set fire to 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 out and goes out, the water from the plate will collect under it, and the coin will be in a dry place.

Three layouts

Take any 21 cards and arrange them face up three cards in seven rows. You should have three vertical columns of seven cards each. Invite one of the spectators to remember any one card and say which column it is in. Carefully, one by one, place the cards of 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, arrange the cards again into three columns of seven cards each, and again ask the spectator to indicate which column the chosen card is in. Fold the cards in columns and put the indicated column of cards back in the middle. And finally, for the third time, lay out the cards and again put the column with the selected card between the other two. Count out ten cards. The eleventh card comes out.

Focus secret: the main thing is to always put a column with a hidden card between the other two.

cunning trick

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

Focus secret: To find the hidden card, we apply a little trick. Before demonstrating the trick, 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 on.

Guessed card

You invite four spectators to sit at the table with you. Deal five cards to everyone. After that, the spectators must memorize one card from those that are in their hands. You collect cards and lay them out on the table in five piles. Spectators choose one of the stacks. You take the cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. After receiving the answer, you accurately indicate the card that they remembered.

Focus secret: You start collecting cards from the spectator who sits to your left and further - clockwise. Moreover, you collect all five cards at once, and not one at a time. You will collect your cards last, and they will be at the top of the deck. When you then lay out the cards in five stacks, in any of them the cards are in the order in which the audience sits at the table. If, for example, a third spectator recognizes "his" card, it will be the third one, counting the piles from above, etc.

Kings and Ladies

Kings and queens are selected from the deck. You lay them out in front of the audience in two rows - separately for kings and separately for ladies. Stack the cards by placing a stack of kings on top of a stack of queens. The resulting deck of eight cards can be removed by the audience 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 a king and a queen of the same suit.

Focus secret: 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 of four cards each and take the top card from each mini-deck. It will always be a king and a queen of the same suit.

Conceived number

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

Focus secret: There is no secret, pure mathematics!

Soon my child, a third grade student, will have New Year's party and parents were given the task of finding and conducting funny contests. Having rummaged through the Internet, I chose a few, in my opinion, funny and interesting competitions for schoolchildren primary school. I decided to post these contests on my page, maybe someone will need it and it will be interesting.

Harvesting

The task of the players of each team is to transfer oranges to a certain place as quickly as possible without the help of hands. Santa Claus is the leader. He gives the start and announces the winner.

Collective creativity

Break into two teams. The players sitting on the edge draw a squiggle on the sheet and pass it on. The next player makes an addition with his squiggle. The result should be a drawing. Whose "masterpiece" will the presenter prefer?

Christmas puzzle

Take thick paper, cut rectangles and write on each of them fairy tale hero, rearranging the letters: Minalva, Remudra, Ushkolaz, Chmokaivdyu, Burchekashka, Ovodnyay, Konbugor, Ushivanka, Saloruchka, Yurkhash. Rearranging the letters in their minds, the children must guess who is encrypted here. Whoever guesses the most words wins a prize.

New Year's photo tests

Must do for any holiday more photo to have something to remember. Why not turn it into a contest?
From the inventory we need various kinds new Year decoration and accessories, and of course the camera.

All participants in turn must portray some kind of New Year's fairy-tale character:
The most glamorous Christmas tree
the saddest reindeer
The happiest Santa Claus
The most scattered Snow Maiden
The kindest Baba Yaga
And so on…

Naturally, everything is done using pre-prepared props. The final version - the image, is captured in the photo.

Catch a snowflake

Keep a piece of cotton wool (snowflake) in the air (blow on it from below) as long as possible - 4-6 people.

Christmas tree toy

In front of two players, the facilitator places a prize wrapped in bright wrapping paper on a chair and says the following text:
AT new year's hour, friends, Without attention it is impossible! Do not miss the number "three" - Take the prize, do not yawn!
“The Christmas tree met the guests. Five children came first, In order not to get bored on a holiday, They began to count everything on it: Two snowflakes, six crackers, Eight gnomes and parsley, Seven gilded nuts Among twisted tinsel; We counted ten cones, And then we got tired of counting. Three girls came running ... "
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?”; if one of the players is more attentive, then the host concludes: “Here are attentive ears!”.

Telegram to Santa Claus

The guys are asked to name 13 adjectives: "fat", "red", "hot", "hungry", "sluggish", "dirty" ... When all the adjectives are written down, the host takes out the text of the telegram and inserts the missing adjectives from the list into it .

Telegram text:

"... Grandfather Frost! All... the children are looking forward to your... arrival. New Year is the most... holiday of the year. We will sing... songs for you, dance... dances! Finally- then come... New Year! How I hate to talk about... studies. We promise that we will only get... grades. So open your... bag as soon as possible and give us... gifts. Regards to you... boys and... girls!"

mask i know you

The leader puts on a mask to the player. The player asks different questions to which he receives answers - hints:

(- Is it an animal? - No. - Human? - No. - Bird? - Yes! - Domestic? - Yes / no. - Does it cackle? - No. - Quacks?
- Yes! - It's a duck!
The one who guesses correctly gets the mask itself as a prize.

Mysterious chest

Each of the two players has their own chest or suitcase containing various items of clothing. The players are blindfolded, and at the command of the leader, they begin to put on things from the chest. The task of the players is to dress up as quickly as possible.

Pull out the rope

Two children sit on chairs with their backs to each other. There is a rope or cord under the chairs. At the signal of Santa Claus, each player runs around the chair of the other, sits on his chair and tries to quickly grab the end of the rope and pull it out.

When choosing games for teenagers, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden should remember that teenagers do not agree to unequal relationships that are typical for childhood. The guys consider themselves quite adults, although, being carried away by the game, they forget about it. They require benevolent and tactful support from adults, which helps to fulfill the desire for independence, independence. Children of this age are in contact with both their peers and adults, they try to prove themselves and get high marks from adults. Girls and boys actively defend their views, especially with regard to hobbies, fashion, tastes, leisure activities, so it is best to organize a New Year's Eve for them in a cafe.

It should be noted that at this age much attention should be paid to the individual. Therefore, I recommend Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden to select such games where there is an opportunity to prove themselves. You can hold a jousting tournament, at this age young men want to please girls and assert themselves in their own eyes. They positively perceive and willingly play the contest "Miss and Mister of the Party", in which there are nominations "The Most Charming", "Superman", "Miss Smile", "Mr. Gallantry", "Miss Charm", "Mr. Courage", "Miss Charm", "Gentleman " etc.

well received Mind games, especially if there are tasks that require players to think outside the box and have a sense of humor. It can be questions with double meaning or a fun crossword puzzle. In a word, some solid dances can very soon tire and annoy. A warm-up is necessary not only for the legs, but also for the mind.

What a merry New Year will do without competitions, relay races and other entertainment program? These games will help you entertain your little guests and tell you what you need to cook for this. It will be more interesting if you prepare small souvenirs in advance for those who win. It can be any stationery: pencils, erasers, pens, air balloons, notebooks.

Maybe something edible: sweets, waffles (in the package), lollipops, chewing gum, etc.

FUN RELAY

This is a very fun and moving game. It should not be taken immediately after a meal. For this relay race, two chairs (or stools), two ropes on pegs, two buckets, two balls will come in handy.

The participants are divided into two teams. At the command of the leader, the players must complete the following tasks: jump over the rope, run around the chair, throw the ball into the bucket (it is advisable to hit it). The team that completes all the listed actions faster and more accurately wins.

WHO WILL COLLECT THE MOST SNOWFLAKES?

To start this competition, you need to arrange a mini-competition for cutting paper "snowflakes". To do this, you need to distribute colored and (or) shiny paper to the children in a size suitable for future "snowflakes", give them scissors in their hands, and also ask them to turn on all their imagination and skill and make paper "snowflakes".

After these little works of art are ready, you can proceed, in fact, to the competition itself.

"Snowflakes" fall on the floor. At the command of the leader (this can be a bell, clapping, the words: “One, two, three, start!”), Children begin to collect “snowflakes”. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that they collect “snowflakes” not in handfuls, but individually. The game ends when the leader rings the bell again (or gives some other command). At the same time, all participants stop, and everyone who knows how to count counts his “trophy”. If the participant still does not know how to count, then the leader helps him in this difficult matter. The one with the most snowflakes wins.

ACCURATE SHOOTER

This competition develops accuracy and attentiveness in children. For him, you need to prepare “snowballs” in advance (3 “snowballs” per child) from a ball of cotton wool and wrap them in a shiny, multi-colored “rain”. But if you did not have time to prepare, then you can instruct the little craftsmen to do it. And as a prize, you can give them the very “snowballs” that they will make with their own hands. But before handing out "snowballs", arrange such a contest.

Divide the participants into two teams. Each player needs to distribute "snowballs". Children take turns throwing snowballs into a hoop or basket, which must be prepared in advance and placed on the floor. The team with the most snowballs in the hoop wins.

MEMORY OF THE SUMMER

This competition develops in children the speed of reaction and attentiveness. To hold it, you need to prepare multi-colored "daisies" in advance (according to the number of participants). Each petal of the future "chamomile" should be cut out of colored paper the size of a landscape sheet. It is also necessary to cut out a round center, suitable in size to the "chamomile".

Chamomile petals are laid out on the floor (mixed, colored side up). Participants stand near their "midpoints". At the command of the leader, they begin to collect daisies. The player who has his own daisy collected earlier and more correctly than all will win.

RIGHT SNOWMAN

To hold this competition, you must prepare large sheets of blank paper in advance. The size of the sheet will depend on the size of the snowman you want to see. You can take a sheet of A1 format (Whatman paper). The amount of paper and markers (or markers) will depend on the number of participants.

The players are blindfolded (a neckerchief or scarf is suitable for these purposes), they are given a felt-tip pen in their hands. Each participant begins to draw a snowman. The winner is the one whose drawing will turn out to be neater than everyone else (or more suitable for the image of a snowman).

This competition can be done as a team. Each team has three players. In this case, each participant will draw their own snowman circle. The team that does the best job will win.

BALL BASKETBALL

For this game, you will need to inflate two balloons in advance, prepare two baskets that would fit these balloons, and two rulers of 30-50 cm each.

The participants are divided into two teams. Each player must “bring” the ball with a ruler to the basket (by air) and lower it with the same ruler into the basket standing on the floor. In this case, the ball must not fall to the floor and must not be touched by any part of the body. The winner is the team that will bring the ball to the basket faster than the other (in turn) with the least errors. The game can end if the balloon bursts.

WHERE'S THE NOSE?

To make the game successful, you need to draw a snowman in advance on a large sheet of paper (you can use whatman paper) and attach it to some vertical surface (wall, door, closet, etc.). Make a nose for this snowman separately: take a sheet of paper, roll it up in the shape of a nose (“potato”, elongated) and wrap it with tape, but only with the sticky side up so that the nose sticks to any surface.

Participants line up one after another, dividing into two teams. The queue can be set by numbers that are drawn in advance. The leader blindfolds each player with a handkerchief or scarf, then turns the participant around its axis with the words: “It is spinning, spinning, everything will stick with us” and turns it to face the picture. The player must stick a nose to the snowman while blindfolded. For each well-aimed gluing of the nose, the participant receives a snowflake. The team with the most snowflakes wins.

CHRISTMAS PICTURES

This game develops children's attention. Both interesting and useful. It will require two identical pictures with drawings (Christmas trees, snowmen, snowflakes, sleds, skates).

The facilitator lays out the pictures on the table with the pictures down and shuffles them. Two participants take turns choosing two pictures. If the images match, then the player takes them for himself, if not, he puts them back. The game continues until there are no cards left on the table. The one who collects the most pictures wins.

BABKI-Ezhki

This is a mobile game. To carry it out, prepare in advance a broom (like janitors) or a broom, skittles (the number depends on the available distance). Participants must be divided into two teams. Each player runs on a broom (zigzag) between pins placed at a distance of 2-3 m from one another. In this game, the team that runs faster and knocks down fewer pins wins.

Dashing chauffeurs

In this game, toy cars (preferably trucks) will come in handy for you, on which you can install glasses (or small buckets) filled to the brim with water. The number of cars will depend on the number of participants. Numbers are attached to the participants on the chest.

To the cars you need to tie ropes of the same length (10-15 m). At the command of the leader, the participants must quickly wind the rope around the stick, pulling the machine towards them. If the water is splashing, the host calls out loud the number of the “chauffeur”, and he stops winding the rope for a second. The winner is the participant who pulled up the machine faster than the rest and did not spill the water. You can play without water, only the rope needs to be lengthened.

RACING ON BALLS

This is a very fun and noisy game. Before the game, you need to inflate the balloons very strongly. Each participant, as it were, sits on his own ball and begins to jump on it. The goal of the game is to jump on the ball as long as possible so that it does not burst.

The winner is the one who does not burst the balloon the longest.

FLIGHT ON SNOWFLAKES

For this outdoor game, we will need to cut out 4 paper "snowflakes" the size of the largest participant's shoes. "Snowflakes" can be made from ordinary white or colored paper, but it would be better if they were made from some kind of thick paper (for example, from whatman paper) or from thin cardboard.

All participants must be divided into two teams. At the signal of the facilitator, the participants must put one "snowflake" on the floor and step on it with both feet (without stepping on the free floor), then put the other one and step on it. So rearranging the "snowflakes", reach the chair. While the kids are “flying” from “snowflake” to “snowflake”, the presenter can comment on their “flight”. On the way back, the participants must run back. The team that arrives the fastest wins.

COCK-FIGHTS

This mobile game can be arranged both between two players and between two teams. Two participants stand opposite each other. At the command of the leader, the participants remove one hand behind their back and begin to jump on one leg. At the same time, they push each other with their free hand. The winner is the participant who lasts longer than the other on one leg (does not fall and does not stand on the second leg). If the game is played between teams, then each participant who wins is given a “snowflake” cut out of paper. The team with the most "snowflakes" will be considered the winner.

MISSING UNDER THE HOOD

For this game, you need to make a beautiful New Year's cap out of paper in advance, decorate it with tinsel, "rain", and paint it brightly.

One player is taken out of the room where the participants are located. The remaining players (or the leader) hide one participant under a bright blanket and cover it with a prepared cap on top. All other participants change places. When the leader leads, the player who left, the player must determine who is hidden under the cap.

CHRISTMAS FIGURINES

This competition develops the imagination and ingenuity of the little participants. The host distributes to each player a multi-colored, bright, plasticine that does not stick to their hands. Then he shows some letter (it is better to write the letters in advance on separate cards). Participants should make something New Year's (or winter) starting with this letter as soon as possible. It can be a sled, a snowman, a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a hat, mittens, felt boots. The winner will be the one who molds the plasticine figure the fastest.

FOUND RING

For this game, a large ring is suitable (diameter about 20-25 cm). It can be made from wire or cut from some thick paper. And in order for it to be elegant, it should be wrapped with shiny paper, tinsel or “rain”. Participants sit on chairs in a circle. Each player is given a rope in their hands, the ends of which are previously tied, and a ring is threaded through this rope. The leader (one of the little guests) stands in the middle of this circle. He is blindfolded with a handkerchief or scarf. The leader's task is to find a ring on a string, while all participants move it in a circle or in different directions. When the ring is found, the leader should be changed.

FUNNY SLED

In this game, the participants must be divided into 2-3 equal teams. Each player is given paper “sleds” tied on a thread (the length of the thread can be 1–1.2 m), which must be cut in advance from the album sheet and decorated with 2–3 (depending on the number of teams) colors. Each participant fastens his end of the thread with the “sledge” on the back of the belt so that the “sleigh” freely touches the floor. If the participant cannot do this, the facilitator helps him. Each team has a different color sledge. At the signal of the leader, the players, running one after another, try to step on the "opponent's" "sleigh" with their foot. Participants are not allowed to touch the threads and "sledges" with their hands. The player whose "sledge" was torn off is out of the game. The team with the most sledges left wins.

IN CHASING THE ICUCLE

This competition will require two participants. But it can be carried out until all those present in pairs have played enough.

In the middle of the rope, you need to tie an "icicle". You can take it from old stocks of Christmas tree decorations or, if you have imagination and skill, make it yourself from paper, cotton wool or something else and wrap it with multi-colored paper, tinsel or “rain”. Attached to the ends of the rope simple pencil also beautifully designed. Each participant stands on their own side of the rope. His task is to wind his part of the rope around the pencil. The winner will be the one who reaches the "icicle" faster than the other.

JUMP INTO THE NEW YEAR

For this competition, all participants are needed (if the participants are very a large number of, then take half) line up. At the command of the host, all participants "jump" into the New Year. The winner is the participant who jumped the furthest.

NAVIGATOR

It's simple fun game that does not require any skills from children. For this game, binoculars and a rope 5-6 m long (or such a length that it is comparable to the size of the room in which the competition is held) should be prepared in advance. You need to put a rope on the floor, and not in an even strip, but tortuously. The binoculars are given to the participant's hands, turning it over so that the objects are reduced. The participant, looking through binoculars, must go along the entire length of the rope, trying to get his feet on it more accurately. The winner will be the navigator who completes the entire course more accurately than other navigators.
