As a rule, the brightest and most memorable corporate events are holidays with fun competitions and skits, in which all employees of the company can express themselves. We hope that the games and competitions offered to your attention will help you organize corporate holidays.

Jump into the new year
A ribbon is stretched in front of the players, symbolizing the junction of two years. As soon as the host calls the number "three", everyone jumps into the "new year", that is, they jump over the ribbon.

New Year- favorite holiday,
How beautiful, look.
Let's jump into the new year together
As I say: one-two-five...
New Year comes at midnight
You look at the clock
How the arrows come together
Let's jump together: one-two-one!
Round dances around the Christmas tree ...
Come on, Christmas tree, burn!
Our tree will light up
How to hear: one-two-seven!
We're tired of waiting
"Three" is time to say.
Who did not jump - cucumber!
Who jumped, he - well done!

Sew on a button
2 teams of 4 people participate. The teams are standing next to each other. Large fake buttons (4 pieces for each team), made of thick cardboard, lie on the chairs next to the teams. At a distance of 5-6 meters from the teams there are large coils on which a rope 5 meters long is wound, and a knitting needle lies. At the command of the leader, the first participant unwinds the rope, threads it into a needle (knitting needle) and passes it to the next participant, the second player sews on a button and passes the needle to the third participant, etc. The team that completes the task first wins.

Shepherds
The game involves 2 people. To play the game, 2 chairs are required, which stand at a distance of about 10 meters from each other, Balloons in the amount of 10 pieces in two colors (for example, 5 red and 5 blue), 2 empty plastic bottles. At the signal of the leader, 2 "shepherds" must drive their "sheep" (balls of a certain color) into their "caves" (chairs) with plastic bottles. This must be done quickly, while not "losing" a single "sheep".

Balloon dance
The game involves 5-6 people. A balloon is tied to the left leg of the participants. To the music, the participants must dance and try to burst the opponent's ball with their right foot. The game continues until one ball remains with the participant.

musical vinaigrette
The game involves 6 people, i.e. 3 pairs. To modern music, couples need to dance "gypsy", "lezginka", tango, "lady", modern dance. The best couple is chosen by the applause of the audience.

Cover
The player is offered to cover himself with a blanket. Then they report that the people around have guessed the thing that is on it and offer to guess what it is. For each wrong answer, the player must remove the named thing. The secret of the game is that the correct answer is the blanket, and the player, as a rule, does not know about it. For convenience, the coverlet can be supported by someone else.

It's me, it's me, it's all my friends
1. Who sometimes walks with vodka with a cheerful gait?

Where have I been in the past year?
Three or four people are needed for this game. They turn their backs on the guests. Pieces of paper are attached to their backs, on which the names of institutions, organizations, and government offices are written. For example: bathhouse, police station, railway station, etc. If the party is private, close people have gathered, you can play pranks and, without restraining your imagination, diversify the list (toilet, maternity hospital, etc.). Participants should not see what is written. Each of them is asked questions in turn. How often do you visit this place? Do you go there alone or accompanied by someone? What are you doing there? Is this place free or do you have to buy a ticket?
Since the participants do not see what is written on their backs and answer at random, ridiculous and ridiculous mismatches, inconsistencies arise.

Khristoforovna, Nikanorovna
You need space to run, even if it's small. We divide everyone into 2 teams, put 2 chairs, hang scarves on the chairs. On command, the first players run, run to the chair, sit down, put on a scarf, say: “I am Khristoforovna” (or “I am Nikanorovna”), take off the scarf, run to their team, the second player runs, etc. The team that is faster wins. The losing team sings ditties.

Santa's gifts
Call 5-6 people. They should illustrate the leader's words with movement. The winner is the one who shows all the movements better.

long arm
Put the glasses with a drink on the floor at your feet on the side and step as far as possible. And then take out your glass without leaving your seat and without touching the floor with your hands and knees.

Boxing
At the beginning of this game, the host of the corporate party calls two men to participate in a boxing match. Participants put on boxing gloves, several guests, holding hands, mark the boundaries of the boxing ring. The host escalates the situation, as in a real boxing match. After a short warm-up, the opponents converge in the center of the ring. The referee announces the rules of the fight. After that, he gives the participants the same lollipop and asks them to remove the wrapper from it as soon as possible.

Hang a toy on the tree
Participants with their Christmas decorations go to the middle of the room. Everyone is blindfolded and each is twisted several times around its axis. The task of each participant is to go in the direction where, in his opinion, the tree is located and hang a toy on it. You can't roll. If the participant chose the wrong path, he is obliged to hang the toy on what he "butts into". To create confusion in the ranks of the participants, women can evenly spread around the room and stand in their way. The winner is the one who hangs the toy on the Christmas tree and the one who finds the most original place for the toy.

Lady
Guests are divided into 3 groups. They sing the phrases:
“In the bath brooms are soaked” (in a low voice).
"The spindles are not crushed" (high).
“And the washcloths are not dried” (low).
All: “Mistress, lady, lady-madam.”

Whose ball is bigger
Whoever inflates the biggest balloon without it bursting wins.

apple
Each dancing couple holds an apple, a small ball, between their foreheads. The musician changes the melodies from slow to fast. The task of the dancers is to hold the apple. The last sounds "Apple", it is proposed to dance squatting.

Accuracy
For a competition in accuracy, it is best to use the factory-made Darts game. An easier option is to throw markers or felt-tip pens (with an open cap) from a distance of 3-5 m at a target drawn on a piece of paper attached to the wall. You can come up with a humorous meaning for each number, which determines the degree of attitude to work. The most accurate participant receives a prize. The marker should be designed for drawing only on paper, then it will be easy to wash off any traces of it with alcohol.

Many of us think about how to celebrate the New Year long before it comes - but often this only applies to the choice of outfit and holiday menu. And yet, the celebration will be much more fun and entertaining if you have prepared exciting contests for the New Year. At the same time, it does not matter at all in which company you plan to celebrate the New Year - in the family circle or with friends - after all, fun is appropriate everywhere.

Of course, it should be taken into account that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes them to panic - treat other people's desires with respect, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active competitions, then do not insist, believing that he will "get involved". In addition, in addition to active and mobile competitions, there are others that do not require special movement - for example, riddles for ingenuity. Choose a varied program in which any participant in the celebration will find something interesting for themselves! If you want your fun to be remembered for a long time, then do not forget to take a photo of what is happening. By the way, this task can be entrusted to especially shy guests who do not want to participate in the general "madness" - this way they will feel like a part of what is happening and at the same time not feel tense or uncomfortable. In general, take care of the holiday program in advance, as well as small gifts for the winners, and your efforts will be remembered by all guests for a long time!

Cool contests for the New Year

Competitions for the family at the table

1. New Year's predictions. For this part of the New Year's program, you should prepare in advance. You will have two bags at hand (you can replace them with hats), in which you should put papers with notes. So, put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction in one bag, and with the prophecies themselves in the other. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all the guests take a piece of paper from each. First, the name written on it is read from the first piece of paper, and then from the second, the prospects that await the owner of this name in the New Year are voiced.

2. Honest recognition. This game also requires preliminary preparation - write funny words on small pieces of paper (kikimora, deer, capricious, booger, and so on). So, someone pulls out a candy wrapper with one of the words (for example, capricious), and with a serious face, looking into the eyes of his neighbor, says to him: “I am capricious.” If no one laughs, then the neighbor picks up the baton, and this continues in a circle until someone laughs. After that, the fun starts again laughing.

3. Phrases-congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Fill your glasses and make a celebratory toast. Each person sitting at the common table should say the congratulation phrase in turn, but it is important that they begin with letters in alphabetical order (first a toast is pronounced with the letter “A”, the next participant says a toast with the letter “B”, and so on until everyone speaks). Next round toasts are allowed to start with the letter where you left off. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be received by the person who came up with the funniest toast "for the circle".

4. Guess the riddle. For this competition, you should stock up on ordinary balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the papers and put them inside the balloon, subsequently inflating it. The participant needs to burst the balloon and guess the riddle. If the answer does not sound from his mouth, then he will need to complete the task invented by all the participants in the game. Examples of such funny riddles: “What does a student have in common with a lizard?” (The ability to get rid of the “tail” in time), “How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?” (One pair more than already available), "What goes from one city to another, but remains without movement?" (road) and so on. You can either come up with such riddles yourself or download them below.

New contests for 2018 for adults

1. Drunk checkers. For this entertainment, you will need a real checkers board, only the checkers themselves are replaced by piles. How to distinguish between white and black new-found "checkers"? Blacks are replaced with stacks of red wine, and whites with white. The rules are the same as in regular checkers, but if you get your opponent's checker, you will have to drink it! Of course, it is not necessary to use wine - it can be any alcoholic beverage, just different in color.

2. Carried. For this competition, you will need two radio-controlled cars. Play, respectively, two people, each of which puts on his typewriter a pile of alcoholic beverages. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to drive your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks their stack. Then the baton passes to the next pair and so on.

3. What's in my mouth. To conduct a competition for the New Year, prepare in advance a separate container with products that will be used in this experiment, but will not be on the festive table. Let it be seven or eight unusual products. The player is blindfolded, and you give him a taste of this or that food - the contestant must guess at the first attempt what exactly is offered to him. Other products can be used with the next player. Whoever gives the most correct answers wins.

Funny and interesting games

1. Snowballs. The competition will be held indoors, and, of course, not with real snowballs, but there is still an alternative - just crumple napkins or paper towels (this material should be stocked up in advance). You will also need chairs according to the number of players, who, in turn, should be divided into two teams. The contestants of one team stand in a line on their chairs, and the participants of the second, in turn, try to hit the opponents with a snowball. By the way, the "targets" have the ability to dodge the snowball. When all the opponents on the chairs are defeated, the teams change places. The team with the highest performance will win (more snowballs reached the goal).

2. Roll the ball. Competition for several couples. Each team is given two balls, which are usually used to play ping-pong. The man should roll the ball from the left sleeve of the companion to the right, and the woman should roll the second ball from the right leg of the partner to the left. The team that manages to cope faster wins.

3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. The contestants are blindfolded, and clothespins cling to any part of the clothing of all players. After the beep, you must try to remove all the clothespins from the partner. The pair that completes the task faster than the others wins. Of course, you need a leader who will control this process.

4. To the touch. Two players are blindfolded and put on thick gloves or mittens on their hands. Guests stand in front of each contestant, and 10 seconds are given to guess each guest by touch. Players take turns playing. The participant who completes the task faster will win. Subsequently, the next pair of players is determined.

5. Pop the balloon. For the game, heterosexual couples are chosen, who are given a balloon each. The “props” of the couples must be squeezed between their bodies, and at the sound signal the balls must be “bursted”. The pair that gets it right first wins. This is followed by the second round with a complicated task: you need to “pop” the balls with your backs or even priests.

New Year's contests for a fun company

1. New Year's crocodile. A well-known entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you the principle of this rather simple and exciting game. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which selects one person. The host says a word to the chosen ones, and they must “show” it to their teams without making any sounds. The team that completes the task faster will win. You can play differently - one of the participants "shows" the word to everyone else, and the one who guesses first wins. To avoid suspicions that the word was invented on the go, we recommend that you write it down in advance on a piece of paper. Since we are talking about the meeting of the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic.

2. Bows. Funny and funny fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people, so that they are divided into teams of three. The gender of the players does not matter. One of the participants stands in the middle of the room, while two of his teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and he, on a sound signal, must tie them on the one who is standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, looks for bows by touch and unties them. In the second command, similar actions occur. The company that completes the task first will win.

3. Blind drawing. The competition is played by two people. So, the participants are tied hands behind their backs and placed behind them on an easel. Now the players must arm themselves with felt-tip pens (hands remain behind their backs) and draw on the canvas the symbol of the coming year - the Dog. The rest of the guests should act as fans and suggest in which direction the contestants should draw further - to the left, higher, and so on. The player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018 will win. Then the next pair of contestants enter the game, and the competition follows a similar principle.

4. Hat. Another exciting competition, in which absolutely everyone celebrating can become participants. The essence of entertainment is quite simple - the players must pass each other a hat, putting it on the head of a neighbor without the help of the palms (you can use your elbows, mouth). The one who drops the hat is out. The winner is the participant who ends up alone. Of course, this game is unlikely to appeal to ladies who decide to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles in 2018 imply simplicity and carelessness, so there should not be any particular difficulties.

5. Song in a hat. A very funny and memorable competition, which will especially appeal to people who love to demonstrate their vocal talents. In advance, you need to stock up on small pieces of paper, on each of which you should write a word. Since we are talking about a winter holiday, you can write words related to this topic: Christmas tree, Olivier, cold, snowflakes, reindeer, and so on. Put all these candy wrappers in a hat, and invite each guest to take out a piece of paper in turn. Now the contestant must perform a small song, invented personally on the go, be sure to use the word that he got several times.

Children's games for New Year's celebration

Check out our list of new fun activities for kids.

Draw the symbol of the New Year

As you know, children like to portray various characters, so, for sure, they will take part in this competition with special enthusiasm. Tell the kids that the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018 is a dog, and invite them to depict this animal, as well as talk about it. The participant who manages to most reliably show an adult dog or puppy will become the winner of the competition. However, there may be several winners. Of course, do not forget to prepare some sweet incentive prizes for the most diligent guys.

sweets

This game is more suitable for younger children school age and not for toddlers who have barely learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment involves a clear coordination of movements and the ability to control their actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first hang a couple of your child's favorite candies on the Christmas tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold the baby and bring him to the Christmas tree, offering to find candy on the tree for a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, not to overwhelm the Christmas tree itself, or not to fall down.

round dance

This game has many variations. For example, "Mice lead a round dance." First, with the help of a counting rhyme, you need to choose a “cat” among the children. "Cat" sits on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. Other participants turn out to be "mice", who begin to dance around the "cat", saying:

"Mice lead a round dance,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Hush mouse, do not make noise,
Don't wake cat Vaska
How Vaska the cat wakes up -
Will break the whole round dance!

When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and, on the last word "Round dance", opens its eyes and runs after the mice that are trying to escape. The caught "mouse" turns into a cat, and so on in a circle.

Drawing or letter to Santa Claus

Most likely, all children will like such entertainment, but for it you should stock up on sheets of paper and felt-tip pens or colored pencils in advance. Tell the children that now they have to prepare a letter for Santa Claus, but you don’t need to write anything in it - you just need a drawing. In this picture, invite the children to depict how they see the coming New Year and what they want. We can talk about some trips, gifts and the like. Immediately specify that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all the desires, but he will still take some of them into account.

Making a snowman

Building a snowman is fun and exciting, even when it's not about winter activities on the street. For this game you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business, who sit at the table next to each other (you can even hug). Now these players must act as one. Let the right hand of one kid and the left of the other act as if it were the hands of one person - the guys will have to make a snowman out of plasticine in this way. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start acting together, then everything will certainly work out!

Competition for the best snowflake

Most children love to do crafts with their own hands. Tell the children to decorate the room they are playing in with snowflakes. Of course, for this, those very snowflakes will first need to be made. You can show yourself a master class on exactly how to cut these snowflakes, or just set the general direction and let the little ones do their thing. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case do you need to declare it - decorate the room with the snowflakes that they made with the children (stick them to the window, hang them on strings to the chandelier, and so on). Also encourage the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.

Contest - guess the hero

For this activity, have the young participants sit in a circle. Now invite the players to each in turn name the continuation of the name of the fairy-tale character, for example; “Zo (lushka)”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “White (snowball)” and so on. The child who could not give the correct answer is eliminated from the game, but those children who remained continue the competition. It is important for you to take into account the fact that you will have to ask a lot of questions, so you will have to prepare in advance by writing the names of fairy-tale characters on a piece of paper for yourself. If there are many children, then it is not necessary to wait until one winner remains - you can indicate in advance that, for example, the remaining three will win.

hide and seek

Perhaps it is difficult to find a person who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is already hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, up to ten, closing his eyes or hiding in one of the rooms, the other guys scatter around the house and hide. When does it pass set time, the child goes in search of his friends - the one who is found first is considered the loser. You can start the game again already on this one, or you can continue to search for other participants. The child who was discovered first, subsequently takes up the search himself, also counting to ten.

Fun entertainment for a corporate party

If you wish your corporate party was fun and memorable, look out for some exciting games.

1. Mandarin relay. We offer very interesting option this entertainment that requires two teams with the same number of participants. From each team, a player is put up, who puts a tangerine in a spoon, and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with a spoon and back to their team without dropping the citrus - if this happens, then the loser with the spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The team that manages to complete the task first will win. Note that when transferring a tangerine, nothing can hold it.

2. Bottle. This is a fairly well-known game that laid the foundation for many office romances. Whatever it was, but it's really fun entertainment. So, at least 4-6 people take part in the game, who should sit in a circle, after which one of them spins the bottle lying in the center of the circle clockwise. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel will point to (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer). After that, it is proposed to twist the bottle to the one who fell under “its sight”.

3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude towards various kinds of predictions, and some believe in them. The New Year has long been directly associated with all sorts of fortune-telling, and let your corporate evening be no exception, despite the fact that the predictions will be made in a comic form. How exactly to give forfeits, it's up to you. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make a special fairly simple cookie with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about a salary increase, about new ideas, and the like.

4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery, which, for sure, will cause positive feelings among its participants. Having made a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their craft, packed in a colorful wrapper. However, for this draw it is not at all necessary to use crafts - we can talk about souvenirs or sweets in a certain price range. Stick numbers on all bundles, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each participant in the lottery will have to pull out his number from a special bag or just a hat.

5. The game "I never ...". A very popular and exciting game that you could see in some foreign films. Each participant in the gala evening must say a confession phrase that begins with the words: "I have never ...". Example: "I've never slept in a tent." People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Further, a certain confession is made by the next participant in the party, and those guests, to whom the next confession is not related, again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be fun, but each time they should be more personal, such as: "I never slept naked." However, you should not get too carried away, so as not to give out your most big secrets.

The entertainment program for the New Year at the corporate party will create a festive atmosphere. Interesting competition between departments and funny contests will give to colleagues good mood and positive charge. Active and table games will unite the team and make the New Year's corporate event bright and memorable.

All guests participate in the competition. To carry it out, you need a jar, lowered into a bag or pasted over. The host in turn approaches each guest with a jar and offers to make a contribution. Each person should throw at least a few kopecks into the bank in order to live without debt in the new year. Then each guest in turn names the amount that has collected in the bank.

The winner is the one whose answer is completely correct or closest to the correct amount. The winner takes the jar of money for himself.

Game "Understand me"

Anyone can play. Participants are divided equally into 2 teams. The team calls a player from the group of rivals and speaks in his ear an object that needs to be depicted (the word must be monosyllabic). The participant must, with the help of gestures and ingenuity, show his team the hidden word. Talking and pointing at surrounding objects during pantomime is prohibited. If the team guessed correctly, it is awarded 1 point. The other team then does the same to the opposing team. The game continues until one of the teams scores 5 points. She is declared the winner.

Game-auction "Intuition"

All guests participate in the game. Small souvenirs and prizes will be needed for its holding. All lots are wrapped in such a way that players cannot guess what is inside. The host gives a hint that characterizes the lot. After that, bidding begins. It is proposed to start trading with a small denomination. The participant who offers the highest price takes the lot.

Examples of lots and hints:

• Not a single feast is complete without it (Sol)
• He is an essential attribute of every business person (Notepad)
• This lot is for those who want to leave their mark (Crayon Set)
• Volatile fuel (Champagne)
• Guarantee Have a good mood(Chocolate)

• Any number of male-female pairs participate in the competition. For its implementation, you will need newspapers (by the number of pairs). A newspaper is placed in front of each couple - this is their ice floe. The task of the participants is to dance without stepping over the edges of the newspaper. Every minute the ice floe begins to melt, and the newspaper folds in half. Music is constantly changing. You can’t stand, the couple must definitely dance. Participants who have stepped outside the boundaries of the newspaper are eliminated from the game. The last remaining pair wins.

  3-5 men participate in the competition. To carry it out, you will need large-sized carrots (according to the number of participants) and the same number of boxes and strings.

  A rope is tied to the belt of each contestant, to which a carrot is attached. It must not touch the floor. The task of the participants is with the help of a carrot, without hands, to push their boxes to the designated place, without leaving their path. Touching the box with your feet is prohibited. The player who reaches the finish line first wins.

  Any number of male-female pairs participate in the competition. To carry it out, you will need balloons (by the number of pairs) and the same average length of ropes.

  Each man ties a ball to his partner's leg with a rope. The music turns on and the couples begin to dance. The purpose of the competition is to save the balloon so that it does not burst during the dance. The music and rhythm of the dances should change periodically. The couple whose balloon burst is eliminated from the competition. The last remaining pair wins.

  New wave game

  The game involves 3 people. For its implementation, you will need the texts of popular songs, printed in large print (so that it is convenient for a person to read). Only the performers should know the name of the song. The task of each participant is to sing their song with only vowels, without musical accompaniment. The winner is the performer whose song the guests guess.

  Song options:

  • A million scarlet roses (Pugacheva)
  • The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree

Participants put on caps (knight's helmets) and put binoculars to their eyes so as to look into the lenses for distance. The binoculars cannot be removed from the eyes.

Have you already started preparing contests for the new year 2020? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and contests for the new year, and I found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Rat with fun and joy.

How to prepare for competitions and games: fun and interesting competitions for the new year will help save even traditional New Year's family gatherings in the company with a TV, not to mention a party for cheerful company. However, it is best to prepare a little.

1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A company of adults will need to eat, raise glasses for the new year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
2. Prepare props. Having decided what you will play for the new year at home, make a list of what you will need for a particular competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to thematic competitions(I use small gift bags for this).
3. Stock up on prizes. People are very fond of receiving small funny prizes - sweets, chocolates, cute christmas toys. It is better to take prizes with a margin.
4. Supporting materials are best done on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them in advance on ordinary cards, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
5. Pick up music, identify your assistants, prepare a place for games.

Collection of contests and games

"Wishes"

The simplest new year games and all sorts of contests where guests do not need to do anything - for example, they can be invited to burst balloons, inside of which there will be wishes.

It is necessary to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be more than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and offer to cut off the balloon they like, and then read aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company to have fun and unite.

"Numbers"

New Year's games and competitions built on the "question and answer" model always gather a lot of applause. It is not surprising - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the facilitator distributes small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and offers to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If desired, you can write down some sequence, and play a few circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the host says that now all those present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, raising a piece of paper with written numbers and loudly announcing the answer.

It is best to choose simple questions - how old is this or that guest, how many times a day he eats, how much he weighs, how many times he stayed for the second year, and so on.

"Not a Word of Truth"

My favorite amusements are funny contests for the new year. Of course, for a company of pensioners, you will need to pick up something more decent, but you can always have fun in your circle - for example, by playing the game "Not a word of truth."


The host will need to prepare in advance a lot of New Year's questions such as:

• What tree is traditionally dressed up for the holiday?
• what movie in our country symbolizes the new year?
• What is customary to launch into the sky on New Year's Eve?
• who is molded from snow in winter?
• who on TV addresses the Russians with a New Year's speech?
• the outgoing year is the year of whom according to the Chinese calendar?

It is better to write down more questions, you can ask about New Year's traditions different countries, or guest habits. During the game, the host will have to quickly and cheerfully ask his questions, and the guests will answer without telling a word of the truth.

The one who makes mistakes and answers truthfully, according to the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various desires - you can use desires to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put a few tangerine slices on both cheeks, and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it is the end!”. Explosions of laughter are provided - both during the game and during the "punishment" of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As an entertainment for the new year 2020, you can play snipers. It is most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it is already a little more difficult to hit the target.


The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn, each player throws "snowballs" into the bucket. A bucket from the players is installed at a distance of five to seven meters, as "snowballs" you can use cotton balls, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple Christmas balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a 2020 new year party for adults and use children's basketball hoops as a "target" - hitting them with a soft ball of cotton is even more difficult than hitting a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

Of course, New Year's competitions for adults can be less sporty.


All those present must be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are tasked with building a New Year's ball. For manufacturing, you can use only toilet items, accessories and decorations that are on the team members. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.

By the way, a little hack- in every company there are people who do not actively participate in competitions and just try to sit out, which is why quite a lot of time is spent on persuasion. So, appoint them to the jury - you can make them score cards in advance, offer them to make a short speech into an impromptu microphone. So they will simultaneously be involved in the general fun, and at the same time they will not have to be persuaded and pulled out from the table.

And of course, the sight of her own mother, who speaks heartfeltly into a glass of champagne instead of a microphone about how grateful she is to Mikhalkov and the film academy for the opportunity to see the battle on the ice in her own living room is priceless. :))

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are choosing competitions for a corporate party for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his deer. Here you do not need to divide the guests into teams, just invite them to break into pairs.


Each pair has a "reindeer" and "Santa" (you can give one improvised antlers, and the other Santa hats - both are sold for mere pennies in a fixed price store before the new year).

The "deer" needs to be blindfolded and make a harness - do not be wiser, a simple linen rope or lace that wraps around the belt will come off. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his "deer". A route is built from the skittles, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. The winners are those participants who came to the finish line earlier than others and did not knock down the pins. Instead of pins, you can use empty bottles, cardboard cups for drinks or paper cones (we made them in the form of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

"Collective letter"

When it comes to New Year's games at the table, I always remember how my parents and friends wrote a collective New Year's greeting for everyone present every new year. You can use a ready-made text (as in the image), you can compose your own - the main thing is that it should not contain adjectives - guests should call them.

The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written down the congratulation. Only now he did not have enough adjectives, and the guests should suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, new year and holiday, and the host writes them down and then reads out the result - the text is very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's Version"

Love New Year's contests for the whole family - then a turnip is what you need!


So, you need to prepare the participants - they need the number of characters in the fairy tale. Each participant gets a role in an impromptu performance. It's simple, the participant needs to remember the key phrase and the movement that he must act out when mentioning himself.

1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation "Oba-na!".
2. Grandfather rubs his palms and groans “Ta-ak-s!”.
3. Grandmother swings her fist at grandfather and says “I would have beaten it!”.
4. Dancing granddaughter sings "I'm ready!" in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
6. The cat wags its “tail” and tentatively draws out “And I am on my own.”
7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says "We've finished the game!".

After everyone has tried themselves in a new role, the host reads the text of the fairy tale (no changes here), and the actors play their role whenever they hear about themselves. The grandfather planted (rubs his hands and groans) a turnip (clap-clap, both-on!) And further in the text. Believe me, there will be enough bursts of laughter, especially when the fairy tale comes to an end, and the host will list all the participants in turn.

"Strictly alphabetical"

In one of the pauses, the host takes the floor and reminds everyone present that the New Year celebration is just beginning, but it’s already difficult to remember the alphabet. In this connection, the presenter suggests filling the glasses and raising them, but strictly in alphabetical order.


Each guest must say a short toast to his own letter of the alphabet. The first one starts with the letter a, the second must start with the letter b, and so on. Toasts should be simple:

1. A Absolutely must drink to happiness in the new year!
2. B let's be healthy in the new year!
3. IN let's drink to the old year!
4. E If we don't get drunk, we'll have to eat!

The task for all those present is to make toasts for each letter of the alphabet, and then choose the winner - the one who came up with the best toast, which is worth drinking for!

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the new year 2020, play bunny. It is best to play this game at home on New Year's Eve when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.


Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader goes around all the players in a circle and whispers to each the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the leader pronounces the name of the animal aloud, the person to whom it was made up crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, not allowing him to sit down. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants enter the rage.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people alternately crouched on the names of other animals, the host says “Bunny!”, And the whole circle abruptly tries to crouch (trying to overcome the possible resistance of the neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, general laughter begins, and a bunch of small ones gather on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

A great contest that you can play without leaving the table.


The facilitator will need to prepare cards on which unrelated words and concepts will be written - five or six words are no longer needed. Each participant receives a card and must quickly come up with a hot news from the New Year's issue, using all the words from the card. What to write on the cards? Any set of words.

• China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
• Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
• New Year, fan, pantyhose, pan, scabies.
• Santa Claus, rat, herring, stapler, barrier.
• Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
• Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
• Snowman, beard, tights, bike, school.
• Winter, zoo, laundry, boa constrictor, rug.

How to make news? Set an example for guests to use all the words, and the weirder the news gets, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “A rug was found in a boa constrictor in a Moscow zoo during winter washing.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and to laugh, and to drink so that all the news in the new 2020 will be just as positive.

"Jumping into the New Year"

We in the family circle often arrange jumping as entertainment for the new year, and 2020 will not be an exception, I'm sure it's already a kind of tradition.


So, how it happens: after drinking for the outgoing year, the presenter brings felt-tip pens and pencils (the brighter, the better) and a large sheet of paper (paper paper A0-A1) and invites everyone present not just to enter the new year, but to jump in - so that it passes dynamically, energetically and brightly!

And so that all desires come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet, everyone draws their desires - someone manages to draw a few miniatures, someone just draws what they want schematically. By the president's speech, the drawing is usually already finished or the finishing touches remain. After the president's speech, the host invites everyone to join hands, count the chimes in chorus, and solemnly jump into the new year and into the fulfillment of their own desires!

By the way, my mother and I usually save the sheet, and next year we check who has what came true - also a topic for a table conversation, by the way.

"The best"

There are good New Year's entertainments without a host. Good way keep guests entertained by giving them unique tasks, but few people want to compete just like that, right?


Therefore, we act as follows - we hang sweets or small gifts on the Christmas tree. It is best to opt for figured chocolate or other sweet Christmas decorations. We provide each with a note to whom the gift is intended, but we do not write names, but some definitions that guests will have to think about and get to know each other better (ideal when there are newcomers who need to join an existing company).

What to write on labels:

1. The owner of the most brown eyes.
2. The best high jumper.
3. The biggest hooligan (here you have to tell everyone about your hooliganism in childhood).
4. The owner of the best tan.
5. The owner of the highest heels.
6. The owner of the most dangerous job.
7. A couple whose sum of clothing buttons is 10.
8. The one who wears more yellow today.

I think you get the main message. Guests will independently begin to find out who rested where, who has a brighter tan, measure the length of heels and discuss work.

"Hat song"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve a game with a hat - they throw some notes into the hat in advance, and then they pull out and carry out the tasks of relatives or colleagues.

In the new year 2020, we will play a popular variation of this game with songs with our family. You need to write notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes out a note from the hat and sings a song in which this word occurs.

By the way, you will also be able to have fun if during the feast you forget all the songs - most likely, your family, like my relatives, will have a great idea to compose a little song on the go to the most popular motive, or somehow remake one from famous New Year's songs of the past years.

By the way, this game is also suitable for a small company of any age - of course, a schoolboy is unlikely to recognize Soviet songs, but the result will be funny, and different age groups will be able to get closer during the game - after all, cool New Year's contests unite!

"Mittens"

Naturally, New Year's contests for young people are not complete without flirting - why not help friends get closer?


So, the girls are put on dressing gowns or shirts, and the guys are given thick winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to fasten the shirts on the girls as quickly as possible so that they do not freeze!

By the way, my friends, who love various New Year's contests for teenagers and youth, wanted to do this contest the other way around - freeing the girls from their shirts, however, they were forced to disqualify the participant - it turns out that even in mittens it is convenient to pull the shirt hem and tear off all the buttons at once. Therefore, it is better to fasten it, it is not easy to do it in mittens.

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

Creative New Year contests for corporate parties are a great opportunity to have fun.


So, holes for hands are made in a dense sheet of cardboard. We give out brushes to the players, they must stick their hands into the holes and portray Santa Claus. At this moment they cannot see what they are drawing.

At work, you can divide the team into male and female teams, and give the task to one to portray the Snow Maiden, and the other to portray Grandfather Frost. The winner is the team whose result is most similar to a fairy-tale character.

By the way, if you are choosing contests for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to look for cheerful music- I use cuttings from children's Soviet cartoons for the New Year's contests 2020, this usually causes the warmest emotions.

"Giving Roles"

Begin funny contests for the new year for the family it is possible with such entertainment.


Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty capsules from kinders (you can just wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of sweets) and start playing at the table for the new year with an offer to find out who still rules the ball.

Everyone present should draw out their role. It can be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his deer. Distribute small attributes to all guests that will match their role on this night - for example, a crown will suit the snow queen, Santa Claus can knock loudly with an elegant staff, and a company of overgrown bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as grandmother Zima or Mikhailo Potapych, who has specially woken up for competitions for the new year 2020 and New Year's dances, starts to say a toast.

"Photo tests"

Which cool contests for the new year without photos?


Make an area for photography and collect some props in this corner - guests can take pictures in different images, and then you can arrange photo tests. So, you will need to determine who is suitable for the role:

• the most decrepit snowflake;
• the most sleepy guest;
• the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
• the hungriest Santa Claus;
• the most generous Santa Claus;
• the kindest Santa Claus;
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
• the most gorged guest;
• the most cheerful guest;
• the most cunning Baba Yaga;
• the most evil Kashchei;
• the most powerful hero;
• the most capricious princess;
• the largest snowflake;
• and so on…

By the way, you can hold this competition a little differently - stock up on props, and invite guests to pull out the role in which they will be photographed without looking, and the rest of the participants should help with advice and deed to better embody the image. You can laugh in the process, and when you view the pictures - good, you can do this in just a few minutes.

"Little Things from Santa Claus"

Tell the guests such a legend as Santa Claus walked through the forest with gifts, fell into a snowdrift with one foot and spilled gifts from a bag. The big ones stayed in the bag, but the little ones fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.

Wrap all sorts of pleasant little things that you bought in advance in an opaque package, or, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of cloth, like miniature bags tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

As pleasant little things can be: calendars, candles, key chains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation the guests are waiting for these gifts ... Not only children, but even adults 🙂

Well, and finally, be a good magician and fortune teller, another New Year's entertainment from the site:

Now you know how my holiday will go, and what games will you have for a New Year's corporate party or home party? Share your ideas, because it is better to prepare table games for the new year and interesting contests in advance, and 2021 is just around the corner!

December brings a feeling of magic, a fairy tale and hope that life will soon go only along the white streak - the New Year is coming. Once a family holiday, it has confidently migrated to other areas of modern life. New Year's corporate parties have become a fun tradition. It's good if the company is flourishing, and the management can order a restaurant or some kind of exotic type of vacation. And if not, then you can perfectly celebrate the New Year in the office.

The occasion is special, it is worth preparing and involving the maximum number of employees in creating a festive atmosphere. Collective brainstorm to develop a scenario will turn gatherings at the table into an unforgettable " New Year's party» for adults.

In this article:

We decorate the office for the New Year: stylish, original, fun

Atmosphere new year holiday is already in the air, but no one canceled the working environment in December. Therefore, the abundance of assorted jewelry is not comme il faut. But Christmas balls of one, two or three colors (preferably matte) and a small amount of tinsel to match - that's what you need.

The Christmas tree is the main attribute of the New Year. Naturally artificial, so as not to sweep the needles every day, especially the color of such a beauty can be chosen in any color, even corresponding to the company logo. If you have imagination, you can make a Christmas tree from the products that the company sells or produces.

And if in office space there is very little space, then the output will be. Such a Christmas tree is attached in any convenient place and is made from the same balls, tinsel, garlands, branded business cards, badges, pens. You can even create it from colored paper or stickers with wishes.

Brought beauty and looked around. If the mess on the tables is in dissonance with the festive atmosphere, it is better to get rid of it. After all, general cleaning before the New Year is a common thing. And after that each workplace can be decorated with a small Christmas tree, a vase with sweets or a figurine.

What to cook for the holiday table?

The sources of New Year's abundance on the table can be different:

• management takes over the task, orders food for delivery,
• a certain amount is allocated, employees must dispose of it at their discretion,
• participants are thrown off to the general cash desk, the amount is spent by agreement,
• everyone gets the task to cook a certain dish,
• We'll bring something from home.

If you have placed an order ready meals, then the issue is resolved. It remains only to discuss the quantity and quality of drinks, but if the chef is engaged in a buffet table, then this is in order.

The last option can turn into a quiet horror. It is possible that the table will be lined with assorted plates and vases with Olivier salad and jelly, which is trembling or already spreading from fear of being eaten.

Laid out on chairs walnuts, cover themselves with a newspaper, and the ladies sit on top. The task of each is to determine the number of nuts under them.

Men can play Russian roulette. Dishes with eggs are solemnly brought out and it is reported that all are boiled, but one raw one is lost among them. The daredevil must break the egg on his forehead. The next hero does the same. The tension builds, waiting for the climax. But the secret is that there is no raw egg there.

A real decoration of the office holiday will be the dance of little swans. Especially welcome in the performance of large ladies and men. The main thing is to behave liberatedly and not be afraid to make colleagues laugh.

Fantasize, take an active part in the preparation and holding of a corporate party. It depends only on you whether it will become a bright event, which all colleagues will remember for a long time, or a trivial pastime.
