New Year's competitions for children. Christmas games for kids at home

If the company has gathered a large one, you need to include other competitions and entertainment in the game program of the holiday. For example, such.

poetry competition

This is a competition for younger students. Prepare cards with rhymes and distribute to all guests at the beginning of the holiday. Come up with "New Year's" rhymes or use the following: years - grandfather, nose - frost, calendar - January, year - it's coming.

At the end of the holiday, before presenting gifts, everyone reads their poems and receives prizes for the best works.

Santa Claus is coming

First, invite all participants in the game to remember the text:

Santa Claus comes from the forest

He's coming to us for the holidays.

And we know that Santa Claus

Brings us gifts.

After the players repeat the text, offer the following conditions: you need to gradually replace the words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is "we". Instead, everyone points to himself. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures.

Here are some gestures.

"Santa Claus" - point to the door. "Holiday" - jump and clap your hands. "Goes" - to walk on the spot. “We know” - touch your forehead with your index finger. "Gifts" - gesture to depict a large bag. And so on. At the last performance, only prepositions and the verb “carries” will remain.

What is hung on the tree

The facilitator can come up with his own version:

- The guys and I will play an interesting game: what they hang on the Christmas tree, I will name the kids.

If I say everything correctly, say "Yes!" in reply.

Well, if suddenly it’s wrong, say boldly:

"Not!" Ready? Begin!

- Multi-colored crackers?

— Blankets and pillows?

— Folding beds and cribs?

- Marmalade, chocolates?

- Glass balls?

- Wooden chairs?

- Teddy bears?

— Primers and books?

- Are the beads multi-colored?

- Are the garlands bright?

- Shoes and boots?

- Cups, forks, spoons?

Are the candies shiny?

Are the tigers real?

- Are the buds golden?

Are the stars radiant?

I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree. Do you know who Santa Claus is? If you agree with me, say "True" and disagree - "False."

True False

The facilitator starts the dialogue:

Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?

He comes at exactly seven

— Wrong!

Santa Claus is a good old man, right?

He wears a hat and galoshes, right?

— Wrong!

Santa Claus is coming soon, right?

He will bring gifts, right?

- The trunk is good for our Christmas tree, right?

— It was cut down from a double-barreled shotgun, right?

— Wrong!

- What grows on the tree? Cones, right?

— Tomatoes and gingerbread, right?

— Wrong!

- The view is beautiful at our Christmas tree, right?

“There are red needles everywhere, right?

— Wrong!

— Santa Claus is afraid of the cold, right?

— Wrong!

- He is friends with the Snow Maiden, right?

What, the answers are given to the questions,

You know everything about Santa Claus,

And that means it's time

All kids are waiting for.

Let's call Santa Claus!

A game that jokingly tests how attentive children are.

The guys at the end of the couplet, where it makes sense, shout “Me too!” in unison. But you need to listen to Santa Claus well. Sometimes it's better to be silent.

- I like to walk in the snow

And I love to play in the snow.

- I like skiing

I also love skates.

— I love winter and summer

Sing, play and dance.

- I also like sweets.

Chew directly with a candy wrapper.

So let the wind whistle!

He put on a warm coat.

- I solved riddles

And received gifts.

- I ate a lot of sweet apples,

Didn't get bored for a minute!

- Both girls and boys

They quickly run into a round dance.

- And fluffy bunnies

They sleep under the Christmas tree in the snow.

So our feet danced,

Even the floor began to creak!

- And in the forest, in his lair,

Before spring, the bear fell asleep.

- This New Year's holiday

I will never forget.

— Been composing all day today —

It turned out to be nonsense!

Well no

A game similar to the previous one. An important condition: here you need to be able to say loudly not only “Yes!”, But also “No!”.

- Likes jokes and jokes?

- Knows songs and riddles?

Will he eat all your chocolates?

Will he light the Christmas tree for the guys?

Does he wear shorts and a T-shirt?

Doesn't he age in spirit?

Will it warm us up outside?

Is Santa Claus the brother of Frost?

- Is our birch good?

Is the new year getting closer?

- Is there a Snow Maiden in Paris?

Does Santa Claus bring gifts?

Does he drive a foreign car?

Does he wear a cane and a hat?

Does he sometimes look like his dad?

New Year's guessing game

The guys really like to finish poetry with Grandfather Frost.

Father Frost. It's snowing outside,

Holiday coming soon...

Children. New Year!

Father Frost. Softly glowing needles

The coniferous spirit is coming...

Children. From the tree!

Father Frost. The branches gently rustle

Beads are bright...

Children. Shine!

Father Frost. And the toys swing

Flags, stars...

Children. Flappers!

Father Frost. Threads of colorful tinsel,

Bells...

Children. Balls!

Father Frost. Fish fragile figurines,

Birds, skiers...

Children. Snow Maidens!

Father Frost. White-bearded and red-nosed,

Under the branches of Grandfather...

Children. Freezing!

Father Frost. Well, the tree, just a miracle!

How pretty, how...

Children. Beautiful!

Father Frost. Already lit up on her

Hundreds of tiny...

The round dance rushes to ...

Children. Dance!

Father Frost: And over this round dance

Talk, songs, ringing laughter...

Congratulations...

Children. Happy New Year!

Father Frost. With new happiness...

Children. Everyone!

I wanted to have a ball

For this game, the poem by Daniil Kharms “I wanted to arrange a ball” may come in handy. The host anticipates this fun with such an introduction. "Do you know how to receive guests?" he asks. Children, of course, answer "Yes!". “It’s very good,” the host continues. Unfortunately, some people don't know how to do it. It is about such strange people that we will compose a poem with you and the poet Daniil Kharms. I will start, and you have the main role: you will come up with rhymes.

Leading. I wanted to have a ball

And all the guests to yourself ...

Children. Called!

Leading. I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,

I baked crumbly...

Children. Pie!

Leading. Pie, knives and forks here,

But something the guests don't...

Children. They're coming!

Leading. I waited until I had the strength

Then a piece...

Children. I took a bite!

Leading. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down,

And the whole pie in a minute...

Children. Ate!

Leading. When the guests arrived

Even crumbs...

Children. Not found!

This is a guessing game for the little ones, they are happy to show how a bunny jumps, how a clumsy bear walks and how different animals “talk”.

Father Frost. In the forest by the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve

There is a merry round dance.

Seated firmly on the bough,

Rooster cries...

Children. Ku-ka-re-ku!

Father Frost. And every time in response to him

Mooing cow...

Children. Moo, moo, moo!

Father Frost. I wanted to say “bravo” to the singers, but only the cat came out ...

Children. Meow!

Grandfather Freezing. Can't make out the words, say the frogs...

Children. Qua-qua-qua!

Father Frost. And something whispers to the bullfinch

Funny pig...

Children. Oink oink oink!

Father Frost. And smiling to myself

The goat sang...

Children. Be-be-be!

Father Frost. And who the hell is that? The cuckoo screamed...

Children. Ku-ku!

Seen at the zoo

This is a musical game where Santa Claus sings, and the children answer:

— Behind the bars at the gate, a huge hippopotamus sleeps.

- Here is a baby elephant, a quiet dream is guarded by an old elephant.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

— The black-eyed marten is a wonderful bird!

- The evil-preslinging gray wolf snaps his teeth at the guys!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- Suddenly, penguins flew higher than spruce and aspen.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

- Ponies - little horses, how funny ponies are!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- The insatiable beast jackal paced from wall to wall.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- And the green crocodile walked importantly across the field.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

Children must answer correctly, without losing the rhythm.

New Year's game "Answer the opposite"

This game is played at the end of the New Year holiday. The facilitator goes around the circle and asks questions. The one to whom he asks them can answer them, and all the guys should help in unison. Gradually (this is the responsibility of the facilitator) more and more guys answer. And the word "End" should already be said by the whole hall.

I'll say the word "high"

And you answer - "low".

I'll say the word "far away"

And you answer - "close."

I'll tell you the word "full",

You will answer - "hungry."

I'll say "hot" to you,

You answer - "cold".

I'll tell you the word "lie down",

You will answer me - "get up."

I'll tell you later "father",

You will answer me - "mother."

I'll tell you the word "dirty"

You will answer me - "clean".

I will say "slow" to you,

You will answer me - "quick".

I'll tell you the word "coward"

You will answer - "brave".

Now "beginning" I'll say

You answer - "the end."

Snowball

Distribution of gifts is the most pleasant and long-awaited moment at the New Year's holiday. It is always accompanied by some kind of attraction or game. The proposed game is suitable for a few home and not crowded "family" holidays. The redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag is arranged as follows: in a circle, adults and children pass a specially prepared "snowball" - made of cotton wool or white fabric. It's nice for Santa Claus to have one in his bag. “Kom” is transmitted, Santa Claus says:

Snowball we all roll,

We all count to five

One, two, three, four, five -

You sing a song.

You dance to dance.

You have to guess a riddle...

The person who bought the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues.

fairy tale nonsense

Children really like it when Grandfather confuses something. For example, how animals "talk". The guys "teach" Santa Claus and correct him. According to the same principle, a fun was invented in which the "dark" Baba Yaga or someone from her entourage mix up the names of all fairy-tale heroes. For example:

Goblin(Baba Yaga). Here, old, yesterday I was walking through the forest, and to meet me - this green crocodile with his Buracheshka!

Baba Yaga. Not Buracheshka, you stupid dumbass, but Burchekashka!

Goblin. No, Buracheshka!

Yaga. Burchekashka!

Goblin. And we'll ask the guys, Buracheshka or Burchekashka?

Children. Cheburashka!

Goblin. So I say, Cheburashka! They go, so they ask me if I saw this, Chi-no-bu-ra.

Yaga. Here's an idiot! You are an idiot, Goblin! Remember, not Tinoburo, but Roboutino!

Goblin. So guys?

Children. Pinocchio!

Goblin. Wow, Pinocchio!

Yaga. And why do they need Pinocchio?

Goblin. So I ask, why? And they tell me: “Today will be a big holiday. Everyone will gather there: both Dyuychomovka and Saloruchka "...

Yaga. Who-who?

Goblin. Dyuychomovka, Saloruchka ... So, children?

Children. No not like this.

Goblin. But as?

Children. Thumbelina, Little Mermaid!

Goblin. In, in, and this Grandfather Romoz himself will come to them with his Sgunerochka!

Children. Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden!

Such an approximate scene may be present in the New Year's scenario, or the presenter for the holiday may prepare a funny story. The older the children, the more incomprehensible and funnier you can change names. If there are few guys, then you can even identify a connoisseur of the names of fairy-tale characters and give him a prize.

Visiting Santa Claus

This is a game for kids. Santa Claus invites children to go to his forest hut. When the guys stand behind Grandfather with a “train”, he leads them, saying and showing different movements that the children must perform.

We held hands together

How the horses galloped.

(Grandfather shows how horses jump, raising their knees high, and the children repeat.)

We jump one after another -

We are not afraid of the cold!

And now we are like bears

We went along the path.

(Grandfather walks slowly, waddling from foot to foot, the children repeat.)

We're walking along

And we don't get tired

Like playful bunnies

Both girls and boys!

(Everyone jumps like bunnies.)

Jump, pranksters,

On a happy holiday!

- Here we are! Grandpa announces. - Dance, have fun!

(Funny music sounds, children jump, dance.)

Santa Claus puts the kids in a round dance, himself in the middle. Sings and shows the children movements:

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

I chose a Christmas tree for the children. (2 times)

(Looks right and left from under the palm.)

Like this, look

I chose a Christmas tree for the children!

(Children sing the last two lines of each verse and repeat the movements after Grandfather.)

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

I was looking for my boots. (2 times)

(Santa Claus, dancing, shows his boots.)

Like this, look

Looking for my boots!

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

He wore mittens. (2 times)

(Shows how he put on his mittens.)

Like this, look

Wearing gloves!

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

Tried on this coat. (2 times)

(Shows how he put on a fur coat.)

Like this, look

I've been waiting for the holiday for a long time

Fur hemmed the hat...

I've been waiting for a holiday

And collecting gifts...

At the end of the game, Santa Claus and the guys start dancing.

Games for winter holidays in kindergarten

Salikhova Elena Nikolaevna, musical director of kindergarten No. 89 "Golden Grains", Sevastopol.
The content of the work. Readers are offered three massive New Year's games. These games are designed for New Year's mornings held with children of the senior and preparatory groups. These games are best played with a large number of children, at least twelve to fifteen people. Then they will be fun, and the children will receive the very portion of positive emotions that you are counting on. You can understand how these games “work” by reading my New Year's scenarios posted on the Entertainment Pantry website.
The purpose of the game material. First of all, these games may be of interest to music directors working with the age category of six to seven years old, not younger. They will be appropriate for winter holidays and entertainment in kindergarten and elementary school. They can also be used during winter festivities in various open areas.
Target: Creating a cheerful joyful mood in children present at the holiday.
Tasks:
Active participation of each child in the festive action.
Free expression of positive emotions of children.
Creative use by children of their knowledge in a relaxed playful atmosphere.

Game "Tell me how you live?"
This game was developed by me directly for the "New Year's guests" scenario. But it can be used at any children's holiday, where fun and jokes are supposed. No attributes are required to play this game. It is carried out by two adult characters participating in a children's party. It can be Winter and Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and Winter, two Buffoons and so on. The words of the game must be spoken clearly and distinctly by each character in turn. The second character does everything that children have to do and say. This will be a kind of clue for children. It is possible that one character says all the words, and the other at this time, together with the children, performs all the game actions. In addition to the purely gaming component, the value of this game is that it can be a prologue to a surprise presentation of gifts.

Game progress.
First character: Are we going to play with the guys today?
Second character: Of course! How about no game? I propose to play the game "How do you live?"
First character: Then we begin to ask the guys questions, and let them answer them, but not only with words, but also with gestures.
The game "Tell me how you live?" The characters of the holiday ask questions in turn.
How do you guys live? Children: Great! Extend the right hand forward with the thumb raised.
How are you guys eating? Children: Hrum, hrum, hrum, hrum!
How are you guys kidding? Children: La-la-la! La-la-la! At the same time, they raise their arms bent at the elbows with spread fingers and jumps turn around themselves.

Show how you threaten? Children: But - but - but! They shake with the index finger raised up.
Show me how you go Children: One, two! One, two! They walk in place.
And how do you drink water, children? Children throw back their heads, bring two hands to their mouths and make a retracting movement with their lips.
How are you kids crying? Children rub their eyes and whimper.
And how do you jump from happiness? Children are jumping in place.
How quiet are you? Children: Shh - s - s! Put the index finger to the lips.
And "Goodbye" show! Children: Goodbye! They wave their hand. At this time, the characters pretend that they are going to leave. They wave goodbye to the children. One of the adults delays them at the party. If, on the contrary, the characters need to leave, then they have the opportunity to quietly leave.
Note. It's okay if the children, in response to the character's question, make another, appropriate gesture, or say their own line. This will express their immediacy and creativity. No need to stop the game because of this or make a remark to the children. By doing this, you can spoil the festive mood not only for this child, but for everyone present.

Fun workout game
I composed this game for the annual regional winter holiday. Each kindergarten exhibited its fairy-tale characters to participate in this holiday. They should have come with their original game. Before the performance, all the characters demonstrated to the professional commission which games are included in their performances. We didn't want our artists to have to blush for the fact that their games are the same as anyone else. So I decided to write my own game. Since the game had to be played with a very large number of children, I immediately ruled out paraphernalia.
The game is played by one or two characters invited to the party. In this case, it was two Buffoons. One character calls out the words while the other says the words and performs activities with the children. If the game is played by one character, then he must both speak words and perform actions related to the content of the game.
Game progress.
Characters:
And now we are children
We invite you to play.
To make it more interesting
We will do everything together.

A fun warm-up let us make friends.
We have a fun workout for you!
Children perform actions according to the content of the "Warm-up".
Let's all drown together.
Now let's clap!
Let's wave our wings. They wave with both hands.
Like bunnies, let's dance. They jump on two legs.

Let's crow roosters.
We stand on one leg. They stand on one leg, arms to the sides.

Like cows moo.
Like cats meow.

And the mice: pi - pi - pi!
They hid from the cat! They squat down.

We stretch our necks.
Who's longer? They stand up and stretch their necks.

Everything is like geese: ha - ha - ha!
Have fun? Children: Yes Yes Yes!
We don't stand, we run. Run in place.
Like monkeys we play pranks. Spread fingers and bend
from side to side.

We want to scare everyone.
Like tiger cubs roar! They growl loudly: r - r - r - r - r!

We don't stand still
Friendly, fun run. Run in place.

We clap our hands! Clap.
We stomp very loudly! They stomp.

Together we will shout: hurrah! They jump up and down and scream.
It's time to end the fun workout!

Note. This game can be played at any mass holiday - festivities. For example, on "Shrovetide" or "Day of the Preschool Worker". Can be done both outdoors and indoors.

Game "Magic Snowflakes"
I came up with this game for the New Year's holiday in the preparatory group. It has a narrower purpose. Designed for children of the preparatory group. With older children, it can be done if they can read and make words on their own. The game is played by Santa Claus.

The game requires double-sided paper snowflakes. Some of them are quite clearly written letters. The letters of the same word must be written in the same color. But each word should be in its own color scheme. Snowflakes are laid out in advance under the Christmas tree or on its branches with letters down even before the start of the holiday.

Game progress.
Father Frost: Oh what a lot of snow!
Even on your Christmas Tree there are Snowflakes. Do you want to play with them?
Presenter: Of course we do, Santa Claus!
Father Frost: But first, I'll tinker a little.
Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, waving his staff.
Father Frost:
Snowflakes - fluffs, messengers of Winter,
Be magical for our game.
It seems to work.
Let the music sound more fun
Start the game soon!
Cheerful music sounds, the children run up to the Christmas tree, take any Snowflake for themselves and run around the hall with it in all directions.

Father Frost:
It's time for the Snowflakes to fall asleep.
It's time for them to cover the ground. All children squat down.
Father Frost:
The wind blew harder
Fly away, quickly. The children are running around the room again.
Father Frost:
Spin around more fun
Near his Christmas tree. Children lift snowflakes up and spin around.
Father Frost:
Now let's find out who
Will be able to collect words faster.

Children quickly find a place for themselves to make words: SNOW and WINTER. They stand in front of the Christmas tree facing the guests and show their WORD.
Children who do not have letters on their snowflakes gather in the "Snowdrift". They run up to each other, crouch on one knee and take the hand with the snowflake to the side.
Father Frost: Thank you dear grandchildren. Get these snowflakes for yourself.
Children run away, put a snowflake under their chair to take with them at the end of the holiday.
Note. This game can be carried out only on condition of preliminary learning with children. The surprise moment is that the children do not know which Snowflake (with or without a letter) they will get. Words for compilation are not taken by chance. None of the letters in the word WINTER and SNOW are repeated. In addition, it is immediately clear without a hint which word should be composed. This is a very important point. If you want to take other words for children to compose, you need to pay attention to this.
I wish everyone who wants to use the games developed by me in their work so that they help create real fun and joyful mood at your holiday

Contests for the New Year 2019, New Year's games and entertainment for children, read about all this in this article.

For the game, you will need a leader, whose role is to ask questions to children. And they must answer them in chorus “yes” or “no”.
So, kids, what will our forest beauty like, let's try to guess:

• Prickly needles?
• Sweets, candy?
• Chair, stool?
• Bright garlands?
• Friendly round dance?
• Games and fun?
• Boredom from idleness?
• Happy kids?
• Green flowers?
• Grandfather with the Snow Maiden?
• Children's laughter and jokes?
• Warm clothes?
• Cones and nuts?
• Chess and checkers?
• Serpentine, toys?
• Lights in windows?
• Loud crackers?
• Vegetables in the garden?
• Marmalade and chocolates?
• New Year's fun?
• Friendly round dance under the tree?

About the game for children 2019: "Christmas bags"

To play, you will need two bags, tables and boxes with New Year's tinsel, sweets, unbreakable toys and other little things that may not even apply to the New Year.

Children's New Year's game for the company "Chairs"

A very popular and very old game at children's holidays. She had many names. And now there are many variations of this game. The rules are as follows: chairs are placed in a circle, the players sit on them facing the center, and the driver stands in the middle.

At his command, "Pe-re-move!" children try to quickly move to another chair. This is the moment when the driver can take a seat. Since the driver cannot push, grab the players with his hands, he specifically gives several commands in a row to make a mess and take the vacant seat.

At the same time, the driver does not have the right to give a new command if the players have not completed the previous one. The one who is left without a place becomes a driver or, for everyone's joy, pays a forfeit.

And here is a more difficult version of this game. All participants are divided into three or four (depending on the number of participants) groups. Each group is the name of a fruit. For example, "apples", "plums", "peaches", etc. Suppose there are 20 people in the game. Then there will be five people in each group: 5 apples, 5 peaches, 5 plums, 5 pears.

Nineteen people are sitting in a circle, and the twentieth is in the middle, without a seat. He calls out "Apples!" At this command, only the "apples" should change places. The leader calls the groups, trying to take the vacant seat and hoping that one of the players will make a mistake. If on command: "Plums!" another “fruit” starts to act, then it becomes a driver.

If the driver gives the command: “Salad!”, Then all players change chairs. The driver at any command can sit in the vacant seat.

And you can play like this: there are fewer children sitting on chairs than there are chairs. One place is free. The driver seeks to take this place, but the children do not allow him to do this, quickly changing from place to place. As soon as someone gapes, the driver sits on a free chair, and his neighbor on the right or left becomes the driver.

Then the girls sit in a row on a sofa or chairs tightly pushed up to each other, and the parents leading or helping them with a sheet or some kind of cloth, like a screen, cover them from the knees and above, so that the “princes” who enter see only the unshod legs of the future “princesses”. ".

Now the boys need to put on each "Cinderella" her shoes as soon as possible. Here you need to be very careful and remember what each girl came in, what socks she wore, what kind of leg she had, big or small. Girls should not prompt boys, interfere with them in their difficult task. After all, Cinderella in a fairy tale is a very modest, meek girl, and this is how she differs from her sisters.

When the work is completed, the host announces the time for which the team of boys completed their task, and now invites the girls to leave the room. The teams switch roles.

Both teams will make mistakes, i.e. they will put on “Cinderellas” and “Princes” someone else's shoes. And this means that friendship won in this game, and the most important result is a cheerful mood and ringing laughter!

Children's New Year's game for the company "Guess how much?"

Next to the doll, you can put a transparent jar of nuts or caramels (in a wrapper). On the bank is the inscription: "Guess how much?". Children should drop their answers written on a piece of paper into the same box where they put the answers with the supposed name of the doll. The jar must be at least two-thirds full. The more items, the lower the probability of a large number of identical answers.

The results of both competitions are summed up simultaneously, at the end of the holiday. For correctly guessing the number of nuts or sweets, the winner can receive the entire jar. This condition of the competition can be announced at the beginning of the holiday or written on the bank. And if no one guesses the exact number? Then you can call the winner the one who indicated the number closest to the correct one.

Children's New Year's game for the company "I go, I go, I go, I lead the children with me"

These are catch-ups for the little ones. They can be played with children from 3 to 8 years old.

Children become a chain behind the leader. The host goes and says the following words: “I go, go, go, I lead the children behind me, and as soon as I turn around, I will immediately catch everyone.” Upon hearing the word "I'll catch", the children run to a safe place called "city". The city can be just a free place, separated from the playground by a lying ribbon or rope, or it can be chairs that children must have time to sit on. When the children run away, the leader must catch them. If the children are small, 3-5 years old, the leader must pretend that he is catching, but he cannot catch. Otherwise, the child may be very upset as a result of this game.

The game goes well at home, when the leader leads the children from one room to another for a long time, for this he repeats the first two lines several times. When the cherished word “I will catch” is uttered, the children rush with a squeal through the whole apartment to the saving city. This game is fun, emotional, gives young children a lot of fun.

The music plays again, and the movement of the "firefighters" continues until all three items of clothing are removed, which, of course, end up on different chairs. This is where the fun begins.

The host shouts: “Fire!”, And the “firefighters” frantically begin to look for their things and get dressed. It is clear that the most efficient one wins.

Children's New Year's game for the company "Clairvoyant"

The host invites one of the guys to come forward, and tells the rest that he is able to see with special vision, that even turning away, he can find out what is in the hands of the viewer. To confirm his words, he puts him two coins in denominations of 5 rubles and 2 rubles in the left and right palms. “Now I’ll turn my back,” says the host, “and you shift the coins so that I don’t know which hand is which.”

When the viewer does this, the host turns to him and asks him to mentally triple the number of rubles in his right hand, then double the number of rubles in his left hand, then add the resulting numbers and name the amount. “Nineteen,” the viewer says. “A five-ruble coin is in the right hand, a two-ruble coin is in the left.” The viewer confirms the correctness of the magician. How did he manage to find out? The answer is simple. If the number turned out to be even, then five rubles - in the left hand. And if odd, then on the right.

So our children will become like them during the game.

After that, he tells the guys that now they will become an ensemble of virtuosos who will play different instruments.

The main thing is to carefully follow the leader and accurately repeat the movements. After that, the driver is called into the room, and the "virtuosos" demonstrate their skills to him. His task is to guess what instruments the guys played. This game requires some knowledge from the world of music, so it should not be played with completely unprepared children. And if the guys have some knowledge, then less well-known musical instruments can be used in the game.

New Year's game for the company of children between dances and during dances

Music is a very important part of the holiday. Without well-chosen music and its pure reproduction, one cannot count on a cheerful atmosphere. Dynamic, mobile games require the same musical accompaniment. It can be children's songs, songs from cartoons, but it's better if it's instrumental music. It is not necessary that only children's music sound at a children's holiday. It can be music from films, music performed by an orchestra of Russian folk instruments, pop music. The more melodies will accompany the holiday, the better.

Dancing is the most important part of any celebration. In this sense, the children's holiday is no exception. True, it happens that the guys, although they want to dance, are shy. Therefore, there are all kinds of game, competitive "eyeliners" for dancing. Always, in all companies, the “Flexible Dancer” competition helps to stir up the quiet and modest - a very famous one, but not boring because of this. In general, the main rule for holding any holiday, as you know, is: "There are no bad contests, there are bad presenters." Prepare prizes: "The most emotional dancers", "Miss Grace", "Mr. Charm", and you never know what nominations you can think of! It is important that no one goes unnoticed.

New Year's game for schoolchildren "In the cockpit"

We know that an astronaut should have everything at hand. During a flight into space, all kinds of items may be needed, and you need to be able to quickly take them. Moreover, sometimes an astronaut cannot leave his chair. The astronaut's chair is a chair, space objects are cubes or matchboxes. They are scattered on the floor at arm's length from the astronauts. Task: to collect as many cubes as possible without getting up from the chair, without looking up from it. The time to complete the task is 30 seconds. Toddlers and middle schoolers selflessly play this game. The collected boxes will come in handy for the next simple and very exciting contest.

Sports game for the children's company "Hedgehogs"

Thirty clothespins are attached to a rope 1.5 m long. Two guys hold it, lifting it above their heads. Two teams of children run up to the rope one at a time, as in a relay race. They take off one clothespin and rush to the “hedgehogs” sitting on the chairs. Adults can act as "hedgehogs". Children love to play with their parents. Children grab clothespins, run to their parents and attach them to any place of clothing or to their hair. The team wins, whose "hedgehog" "bristles" better, who will have more clothespins-needles. It is very good to hold this relay race in an open area so that the distance to the “hedgehog” is greater - about 10 m. Now there are many multi-colored plastic clothespins for sale. For this game, it is better to buy just such ones: the “hedgehogs” will turn out funny, it will be interesting to take pictures with them.

This game has a continuation: the host invites the children this time to collect clothespins and attach them again to the rope. Only now they can do it not one by one, but all together. Children grab clothespins and hang them on a rope. The team that completes the task first wins. A rare children's holiday is complete without this fun relay race.
