Competitions for the New Year. Competitions for the New Year of the Fire Rooster

November 21, 2016

Starting with the first snowflakes slowly circling in the frosty air, we begin to wait for HIM! The most wonderful, most fabulous, incredible and fun holiday is the New Year!

There is no longer a single holiday, three months before which, friends would ask: “Well, what do you think about the New Year?” Yes, this is exactly the day when the aliens are in a panic from an unknown signal from the Earth - “The New Year is rushing towards us, everything will happen soon...”, and the whole planet glows with bright lights and fireworks! It is from December 31 to January 1 at 23:59 that we all stand with glasses of bubbly champagne in our hands and happily welcome New Year and new emotions that will burst into our lives, and this, by the way, is a great reason to throw a simply unrealistically cool party!

It is impossible to imagine any party without the company of your favorite friends. You can celebrate International Pancake Day or Bastille Day with them - it’s always fun and interesting! In order not to interrupt this wonderful tradition, you should thoroughly prepare for organizing the main party of the year!

An important part of the 2017 meeting is entertainment program: games and competitions for the New Year for adults. They make you get to know each other better, make the team more united, and make the evening more interesting, if you know what I mean 😉

website I am sure that almost all adults will be very happy to take part in practical jokes, dance in a round dance, make a cool toast and compete in exciting competitions! They can be different: playful, ingenious, dexterous and, of course, with erotic overtones. It all depends on the degree of relaxation of the party guests.

We offer 12 fun games and competitions for the New Year's Eve that will make the party fun and memorable.

1. So this is about me!

Small paper bags are taken in which you can put souvenirs, sweets or any small items (batteries, condoms, a glass...). Nominations are written on the packages:
- the longest haired;
- the one who kissed the girl before everyone else;
- the one who kissed the guy before everyone else;
- the owner of underwear with the largest number colors and shades;
- the strongest arm wrestler;
- the lady with the highest heels;
- the most thrifty smoker (the one or the one who has the most cigarettes with him);
- myself cool rapper(the fastest to read poetry);
- bluest eyes 2017;
— the loudest laughter of 2017;
- the craziest thing to do in 2016;
- the most unlucky one (the one who did not receive any of the holiday packages).

You can come up with your own nominations - the ones most suitable for your friends and family.

The finished bags with contents need to be hung on the Christmas tree. This can be done before the guests arrive, but then they will be discovered too early, most likely, even before everyone has arrived. Therefore, it is best to do this immediately after midnight, when everyone goes to look at the balcony or to watch the New Year's fireworks on the street. At this moment, hang the bags on the tree. What not original gifts for all those present.

Guests returning from the fireworks will notice new Christmas tree decorations and the competition will begin...

2. What do you remember about the past year?

Buy whatman paper in size A1 or A0. At the top, write in large letters “What you remember about 2016.” To make the inscription look even and beautiful, print it on a printer using your favorite New Year's font. You can paste a photo of the guests onto whatman paper (for married couples– use joint photos). There should be space between photographs for drawings. It’s even better if you order such a poster from a printing house.

We hang the poster on the wall or closet. Let everyone draw next to their photo the best event of the past year for them. Some will depict a palm tree, symbolizing a vacation in warm countries, some will depict a new car, and for others it will be a child confidently walking to school for the first time with a briefcase.

You can make such collections of positive memories a tradition in your friendly company.

3. Coolest of all

We choose the main characters of the evening - Father Frost and Snow Maiden. Those who wish to dress up in costumes, take thematic attributes: a beard, mittens, a staff, a bag with gifts, and one by one introduce themselves to the public. The most cheerful, charismatic and irresistible guy or girl will become Santa Claus. The choice is made by voting with applause. Not only girls, but also brave guys can take part in the casting for the role of the Snow Maiden! A little powder, red lipstick and a wig with pigtails will turn a serious TOP manager into the cute granddaughter of Santa Claus. A short fashion show in a skirt will determine who will become the queen of the party, even if she has stubble.

4. Alphabet

Next, to warm up the party guests, it would be appropriate to hold a competition for the best toast in the alphabet. The gist of it is this: everyone takes turns saying a toast with wishes, but for a reason, and it must begin with a specific letter. For example, the first one with “A” - “The sweetest orange, the most delicious tangerine, he will bring you as a gift.” good Grandfather Frost”, then to “B” –“ Great Expectations, beautiful dreams, rays of goodness, and a cute beaver! Happy New Year!”, “B” - “Father Frost comes to the house, he brought us gifts: a soft bear, a delicious cake, a telephone and a lunar rover, pasta, an orange, soap, gingerbread and a dolphin.”

In such a cheerful manner, everyone makes their toasts, and the author of the most original rhyme wins a prize.

An easier option - the wish consists of one or two words per dropped letter. For example: I wish A active recreation, b riches, V Yesenia, G Lamura, d money...

Those who get the letters Y, Y, b, b will be especially lucky :)

5. Hello, sleepwalkers

Such a competition is best held when all the guests are already in a cheerful mood. One participant is seated on a chair, and now he plays the role of the main lunar base, others will portray lunar rovers and asteroids flying past. To do this, you need to crawl around the room on all fours, saying: “Hey, Lunokhod-1 is calling the base,” “Lunokhod-2, we need to refuel at the lunar base, the battery is low.”

Between spaceships periodically an asteroid flies by at speed, and with the words “Banzai” tries to get into the lunar rover. There is only one rule in this game - don't laugh! At all! The one who gets a laugh in his mouth crawls to the base to receive the task.

It might look like this:

  • remove two layers of skin from your lunar rover;
  • pour 200 ml of fuel into Lunokhod 1;
  • solder 3 new skin parts to Lunokhod 2;
  • dock with Lunokhod 3;
  • examine environment in reverse mode, etc.

The one who never laughs wins. Great mood guaranteed for everyone!

6. New Year's sculptor

Props for two sculptures:
balloons round in various colors, 100 pieces;
— round balloons with a face design (smiley), 2-4 pieces;
— balloons for modeling (those from which clowns make dogs), 50 pieces;
— double-sided tape, 2 pieces;
- thread, 2 spools;
- multi-colored markers.

We divide into two teams and begin to create a festive sculpture. The choice of image is at the discretion of the organizer: Father Frost, Snow Maiden, rooster (symbol of 2017), monkey (symbol of 2016), snowman or any other interesting character.

7. Pass it on

A good old game of match will help those gathered get to know each other better and loosen up a little. All guests stand in a circle, alternating between a guy and a girl. The match is cleared of sulfur, the first participant takes it with his lips and passes it to the next. After the first round, the match is cut a few mm, and it goes to new circle. The game ends when the participants no longer have anything to transfer, well, or at will.

8. News

Participants receive pieces of paper with five words written on them. In five minutes they must compose interesting news. Words from the card can be converted into any part of speech, for example:

  • England, Chinese, axe, genetics, Malvina (English geneticists crossed a Chinese with an axe. But he refused to chop wood, but he planed a wooden Malvina for Pinocchio - let the kid have fun until the twig dried up);
  • Tula, flashlight, minibus, roofing material, camel;
  • Zimbabwe, pan, sun, skis, toothbrush;
  • Antarctica, soap, ostrich, bicycle, ear.

9. Associations

One person whispers a certain word in the ear of the next, who passes on a synonym or a word close in meaning to this to his neighbor, and so on until the end. The last participant pronounces the word out loud, and it is compared with the first, often at the end completely unrelated words are found, such as sea and Olivier.

10. Slow Motion

Anyone can take part in this game. In turn, each participant is given a task that he must depict in slow motion:

  • capture of Sparta;
  • tearful declaration of love;
  • fight with an invisible man;
  • escape from the tiger;
  • pitching a tent;
  • surfing, etc.

Whoever completes the task most creatively will receive a prize.

11. Alligator

The game of all times and peoples “Crocodile” is liked by everyone, regardless of age, preferences and other factors. But this is a festive crocodile, so today we’ll call it “Alligator”. The essence does not change: to show a phenomenon or object, without the help of words or sounds. Since the topic is known, it will be necessary to show tangerines, deer, Christmas decorations, firecrackers, garlands, etc.

12. Whose Santa Claus is it?

For some reason, everyone believes that Santa Claus comes from Lapland. Every year, in one night, the poor fellow flies around all the children on the planet, delivering gifts to all the obedient ones, and magic pendals to the naughty ones. But is this true?

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 the neighbor’s waist, to dance, after which you can sing in karaoke or even while watching TV, and then sleep.

Fortune Telling Game

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.

Game "Funny Adjectives"

Here the presenter calls 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.

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!

Fun and funny contests for the New Year 2017

Proper organization of competitions

In order for the holiday to be as fun as possible, it is worth inviting everyone present to participate in competitions. But not everyone is easy-going. Many people are shy, especially if the company is unfamiliar. Therefore, there are several tricks aimed at attracting everyone, even the most immobile guests of the holiday, to participate in New Year's entertainment.

1. Don’t start competitions earlier than first toast.
This is a simple rule, and it is perfect for the New Year 2017. Get started holiday program too early is not recommended. We need people to get comfortable, take a closer look at each other, have a snack and a drink. Alcohol will help you feel some liberation, which will be very useful for further participation in competitions.

2. Do not allow those gathered for New Year's table just ate.
A person who has overeaten becomes sedentary and clumsy. Distribute your time at the table so that there is a minute for a snack, a good toast, and a group game.

3. Alcohol at the New Year's table - frequent guest, but it can ruin the holiday.
Therefore, too frequent toasts will quickly incapacitate guests, maybe not all of them, but who, for sure, would not mind participating in fun New Year's entertainment.

Cool New Year's games and entertainment for the Year of the Rooster 2017

Competition for children “Symbol of the Year 2017 - Rooster”

If children are of different ages, then uniting them with one idea can be difficult. Therefore, you should come up with such games, as well as entertainment, that will be interesting for older children, but also for the little ones. For example, such a simple and widespread competition for. IN in this case The symbol is the Fire Rooster. Ask all participants to crow or play the rooster. The one who best portrays the Rooster naturally wins.

New Year's competition "Surprise" for adults

Prepare balloons by the number of participants. Include a note with a task in each of them. Guests must choose a balloon and burst it without using their hands, after which they must complete the task: dance rock and roll, guess a riddle, etc.

"New Year's Gift" - fun for the whole family

Instruct guests to prepare small souvenirs (one per person). At the entrance to the room, hang an opaque bag in which everyone will put their gift. During the celebration, Father Frost or the organizer himself, having mixed the gifts in a bag, distributes something from the bag to each of those present without looking. But the recipient of the gift must stand on a chair and recite a poem or sing. This way everyone will get their New Year's gift, and no one will be left offended.

Talent competition

If you know those present well, prepare tasks for them in advance. Perhaps someone sings well, someone draws, etc. Ask each of them to show their talent (people love it when they are allowed to express themselves in what they are really strong at): sing a song about the New Year, draw a fun picture for everyone (for example, with felt-tip pens on a landscape sheet), and then hang it on the wall. For each talent, the participant receives a sweet prize (chocolate, biscuit or something else) with the words: for example, “ For the best singer year."

A mountain feast with jellied meat, salads, tangerines and wagon chocolates- This is great. But in addition to traditional pleasures, there are also more active and exciting New Year celebration programs.

Well, you must admit, eating “from the belly” and lying on the sofa in front of the TV is boring. Moreover, the patron of the year 2017, which is already on its heels, does not like dullness and monotony.

So, how to entertain yourself, your household and guests: a celebration program for the most magical night of the year!

1. He who sits down is eliminated

The competition is “with a beard”, but still relevant and fun - both for kids and for adults who have already managed to conduct old year and began to meet something new.

We place chairs in the center of the room (1 less than the number of guests) in a circle with their backs facing the center. Turning on the music is a signal to start: the contestants actively run in a “round dance” in a circle and, as soon as the music is turned off, they quickly take up free seats. Anyone who sat down past or simply did not have time and was left without a chair is eliminated. One chair, accordingly, is removed from the “round dance”. The first one out of 2 wins last participants will occupy the remaining chair.

Naturally, we prepare the prize in advance. Preferably with humor (well, it’s a holiday after all).

2. Funny talent show

If there are a lot of guests and the family is large, and everyone in it is a comedian, then you can hold a competition for the funniest congratulations on the Holiday.

For example, a Soviet poster on the theme “fight against drunkenness,” soap bubbles or a bag of tangerines.

3. “All markers have different tastes and colors.”

This competition is for gourmets. Well, for those who are embarrassed to run with relay mops, sing karaoke and show off the funniest cockerel of all.

Participants are covered with handkerchiefs, and then they are brought one by one for testing. various dishes. Whoever turns out to be the more professional taster will win.

The prize is the obligation to eat all the dishes that the winner did not guess.

4. Since childhood, I have been friends with rhyme, or poetry writers are held in high esteem everywhere!

The presenter asks the contestants (all of them participate!) the first line, and everyone must come up with the remaining three themselves. The winner is the poet who managed to make the audience laugh and prolong the guests' lives for at least a couple of years (1 minute of laughter, as you know, is equal to an additional 15 minutes of life).

A consolation prize (lollipop) goes to the participant who managed to find the most original rhymes.

The winner has the opportunity to choose his prize independently (hidden in one box activated carbon, in the other - 0.5 vodka).

5. Recognize by smell!

This competition is similar to the one described above (for gourmets), the only difference is that the dishes will have to be determined not by taste, but by smell.

That is, the task becomes more complicated! The winner, naturally, is the one who guesses the most dishes.

The prize is a large chocolate medal.

6. New Year's toasts

Fun for the whole family. The idea is simple: each participant, blindfolded, points his finger at the first letter on a pre-drawn alphabet. Whichever letter falls out is where the first word of the toast will begin.

Each next word must begin with the next (in order) letter. That is, if the first word begins with “Z”, then the 2nd word begins with “F”, the third begins with “I”, etc.

7. One small but proud bird...

And again toasts! Well, where would we be without them on New Year’s Eve? This entertainment can shake up even the most modest guests at the table.

The point, again, is simple: a switched-on musical toy (preferably with the nastiest or funniest soundtrack) is passed around in a circle from hand to hand right at the table. The one who has finished the music makes a toast.

You can pass the relay toy a countless number of times, but make sure that the guests do not get bored - it is recommended to change the entertainment in time (for example, bring “hot” food, open champagne or say the classic “But we haven’t burned Bengals yet! Let’s all go to the balcony urgently!”) .

8. Dress warmly!

A competition for guests who are not constrained by shyness.

4 participants are required, who are divided into 2 pairs. Each couple (in which one is a fashion designer and the other is a mannequin) is given a bag with a wide variety of clothes, including men's and women's, children's, retro, boas, hats, etc.

After this, the fashion designers are blindfolded - they will create by touch. Moreover, the task of each fashion designer is to put everything in the bag on his mannequin. The couple that manages to empty the bag faster than others wins.

Prize: a glass of champagne. The losers get a sandwich with caviar.

9. Karaoke

You can’t go anywhere without songs on New Year’s Day! Naturally, we collect the most fashionable and fun songs into the playlist.

We select participants through a “trick” with matches (among the whole matches there is one shortened one). Everyone participates, including those who had a bear step on both ears and more.

Winners - everyone!

Prizes are required (you can time the presentation of gifts just in time for this competition).

10. Christmas tree, burn!

Artists' competition. We take out a pre-prepared “makeup” (one that can be washed off without problems), a box with additional “equipment” (clothes, various items from the mezzanine, tinsel, rain, toilet paper, sausage, etc.) and divide the participants into “model” pairs -artist".

Artists must create the brightest and most beautiful image on their models within 5 (or 10) minutes. Namely, a Christmas tree.

The couple with the most beautiful and original Christmas tree receives two fly swatters (or dumbbells) tied with bows.

11. Raise the level of good mood!

We pre-pack small gifts (hairpins, mini shower gels, chocolate medals, keychains, scarves, etc. - whatever we have enough money for) in such a way that it is difficult to determine by touch what exactly is hidden under a layer of gift paper.

For example, a hairpin can be wrapped in a couple of napkins and only then packaged in gift paper.

Each guest puts his hand into the bag and chooses a gift by touch.

12. Surprises on a string

Again, we hide small gifts in identical boxes, which, in turn, we hang at different heights, tying them to a stretched rope.

Each participant is blindfolded, after which he must “blindly” cut off the prize for himself with scissors.

13. “We wish you happiness...”

It is better to carry out this “action” in advance - even at the end of the old year. We take a stack of magazines, scissors, glue and several sheets of A5 cardboard - one for each participant.

We leave all the wealth in the kitchen, where each guest can complete the task without prying eyes - that is, quietly. And the task is simple - to create an anonymous wish from the bottom of your heart on cardboard, cutting out pictures and letters from magazines (a sort of collage from the heart and with humor). You can add a good “prediction” to your wishes.

Each collage is sealed in a white envelope without inscriptions and hidden in a common basket under the Christmas tree.

After the New Year, the envelopes should be mixed together and distributed to guests.

14. The most delicious patron of the year!

Practically - a show of culinary talents.

The task for the participants is to create the most beautiful - and, most importantly, delicious - cockerel from available products.

15. What to take with you for the New Year?

Each participant uses the “poke” method (by sticking his hand in a bag of notes) to choose a letter for himself (do not use too complex letters like “Y” or “Y”). It is with this letter that all words in the list of things (phenomena, events, etc.) that should be taken with you in the coming year should begin.

16. Chinese among us

The competition is fun and suitable for all participants without exception.

It is better to immediately divide all the guests into pairs (preferably opposite each other), and signal the “start” command for everyone at once. The essence of the competition: eat green peas(corn, berries, etc.) Chinese chopsticks in 1 minute.

Those participants who eat more peas than their opponents win.

Prizes: a can of peas!

17. Sniper of the Year!

What exactly you will use in this competition depends on your capabilities and imagination.

You can throw rings on the neck of a champagne bottle, throw darts at a drawn target, or shoot empty ones from a children's crossbow. plastic bottles– it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to do it as a team, one at a time.

The prize is awarded to the team that scores the most points (one for everyone or individually for each.

There is a lot of entertainment and competitions for New Year's fun. Human imagination, as they say, has no limits, and the imagination of a person who has already begun to celebrate the New Year - even more so.

Therefore, you have cards in your hands, and Yandex to help, and wonderful miracles next year!

And so, it's time to talk about the New Year. Or rather, it’s time to start preparing for this holiday. And for this you need new competitions for the New Year 2017 and New Year's games and entertainment to make it fun for you and your guests. Such competitions are also suitable for children and families and everyone will have fun. Ready to get started? Let's see what new we have.

Competition - lucky egg.
For the competition, you need to prepare empty barrels of Kinder Surprise toys in advance. 32 such barrels will be enough. Divide the barrels into 4 groups of 8 pieces each. You also need to write numbers on pieces of paper: 2, 0, 1, 7. Write each number 8 times and put all the pieces of paper in different barrels. It turns out that you have only 32 barrels and 8 of them have the same numbers.
Place all the barrels on a tray and mix. The participants of the game come out. For example, 4 people. At the leader's command, they must take one barrel and open it. Take out the piece of paper with the number and put it near you. Then they immediately take the second barrel and open it. If there is a different number, then they take the next barrel. If the number in the barrel is the same as what is already there, then they put the piece of paper back into the barrel, close it and put it on the tray. And they take another barrel. The point of the game is to be the first to find all four numbers to get the name of the year: 2017.
As you understand, if the number in the barrel is the same as what is already there, then the barrel is put back on the tray. Participants should not have the same numbers.
Well, whoever collected 2017 first gets a gift.

Competition - the tail of the rooster.

Everyone knows this competition, but only in a different version. For the competition you need a drawing of a rooster, but without a tail. You also need to make a tail, which will have to be attached to the rooster.
Glue a drawing of a rooster on the wall. We blindfold the participant and give him the tail in his hands. We spin the participant, and he must reach the rooster and attach his tail. Whoever can do this more accurately wins.

Competition - who will eat first.
Everyone has seen roosters eating. They lean towards the food and peck at it. In this competition we will do the same, only with evemdems chocolates.
3-5 participants come out. Everyone has a plate and there are 15 evemdems chocolates on the plates. Participants keep their hands behind their backs. At the leader’s command, they lean towards the plate and use their tongue to take the chocolate bar. Whoever eats all his chocolate the fastest this way wins.

Competition - let's sing.
Everyone knows that roosters sing beautifully. Especially in the morning. In this competition we will almost sing. To be more precise, we will pronounce tongue twisters. Therefore, you need to prepare fun and funny tongue twisters in advance.
The participants take the stage. They are all given pieces of paper with the same tongue twister. They take turns reading it. Then the participants are asked to put candy in their mouths and repeat the tongue twister again with their mouths full.
Whoever comes up with the best or funniest result wins.

Competition - let's sing 2.
And in this competition we will sing for real.
Those who wish come out and are given the lyrics of funny New Year's songs. At first they sing them just like that. And then they are given lemon slices and they put them in their mouths! And so they have to sing songs. Let's see how much fun there is in their voice.
