Many of us think about how exactly to celebrate the New Year long before it arrives - however, this often only applies to the choice of outfit and holiday menu. And yet, the celebration will be much more fun and entertaining if you have exciting competitions prepared for the New Year. At the same time, it doesn’t matter at all in what company you plan to celebrate the New Year - with your family or with friends - because fun is appropriate everywhere.

Of course, it is worth considering that there are very shy people, and participation in such events causes them to panic - be respectful of other people’s desires, and if you see that a person is not inclined to take part in active competitions, then do not insist, believing that that he will “get involved”. In addition, in addition to active and active 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 photos of what is happening. By the way, this task can be entrusted to particularly shy guests who do not want to participate in the general “madness” - this way they will feel like they are part of what is happening and at the same time will 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 competitions 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 (can be replaced with hats) in which you should put pieces of paper with notes. So, put pieces of paper with the names of the participants in the prediction in one bag, and in the other - with the prophecies themselves. The bags are passed around the table in a circle, and all 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 announced.

2. Honest confession. 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, tells him: “I am a capricious person.” If no one laughs, then the neighbor picks up the baton, and so on in a circle until someone laughs. After this, the laugher begins the fun again.

3. Phrases of 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 a common table should say a congratulation phrase in turn, but it is important that they begin with letters in alphabetical order (first a toast with the letter “A” is said, the next participant says a toast with the letter “B”, and so on until everyone will have their say). Next lap Toasts are allowed to start with the letter you stopped at. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be awarded to the person who comes up with the funniest toast in the round.

4. Guess the riddle. For this competition you should stock up on regular balloons, as well as small notes with funny riddles. Roll up the pieces of paper and place them inside the ball, subsequently inflating it. The participant needs to burst the balloon and guess the riddle. If there is no answer from his lips, 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?” (Ability to get rid of the “tail” in time), “How many pairs of shoes does a woman need to be happy?” (One more pair than we already have), “What goes from one city to another, but remains motionless?” (Road) and so on. You can come up with similar riddles yourself or download them below.

New competitions for 2018 for adults

1. Drunken checkers. For this entertainment you will need a real checkers board, only the checkers themselves are replaced with stacks. How to distinguish between white and black new “checkers”? Replace black ones with shots of red wine, and white ones with white wine. The rules are the same as in regular checkers, but once you get your opponent’s “checker”, you will have to drink it! Of course, you don’t have to use wine - it can be any alcoholic beverage, just different in color.

2. Driven. For this competition you will need two radio-controlled cars. Two people play, respectively, each of whom places a stack of alcoholic drink. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to get your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks his shot. 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 holiday 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 on the first try what exactly is being offered to him. You can use other products with the next player. The one who gives the most correct answers wins.

Funny and interesting games

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

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 his partner's left sleeve to his right, and the woman should roll the second ball from her partner's right pant leg to his left. The team that manages to cope faster wins.

3. Clothespins. Another game for couples. Participants in the competition are blindfolded, and clothespins are attached to any part of the clothing of all players. After the sound signal, you must try to remove all the clothespins from your partner. The couple that completes the task faster than others will win. Of course, we need a leader who will control this process.

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

5. Pop the balloon. Couples of different sexes are chosen to play and are given a balloon each. The couples must hold the “props” between their bodies, and at the sound signal the balls must be “burst.” The first couple to complete the task will win. This is followed by the second round with a more complicated task: the balls need to be “burst” with their backs or even their butts.

New Year's competitions for a fun company

1. New Year's crocodile. Famous entertainment that will appeal to contestants of all ages! So, we remind you of the principle of this rather simple and exciting game. Participants are divided into two teams, each of which selects one person. The presenter says a word to those chosen, 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 suspicion that the word was invented on the fly, we recommend writing it down on a piece of paper in advance. Since we are talking about celebrating the New Year, it is advisable to come up with words on this topic.

2. Bows. Funny and cheerful fun. To participate in the game, you need at least six people to be 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 his two teammates are blindfolded. One of the partners is given ten ribbons, and, according to a sound signal, he must tie them to the one standing in the middle of the room. The second partner, who is also blindfolded, looks for the bows by touch and unties them. Similar actions occur in the second team. The company that completes the task first will win.

3. Drawing blindly. Two people play in the competition. So, the participants have their hands tied behind their backs and an easel is placed behind them. 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 next - to the left, higher, and so on. The winner will be the player who manages to more accurately portray the cheerful guardian of 2018. Then the next pair of competitors enters the game, and the competition follows a similar principle.

4. Hat. Another exciting competition in which absolutely everyone celebrating can take part. The essence of the entertainment is quite simple - players must pass a hat to each other, putting it on the neighbor’s head without the help of their palms (you can use your elbows or mouth). The one who drops the headdress is eliminated. The winner is the participant who will be left alone in the end. Of course, this game is unlikely to appeal to ladies who have decided to make a complex hairstyle, but, as you know, New Year's hairstyles for 2018 imply simplicity and carelessness, so there should not be any special difficulties.

5. Song in a hat. A very funny and memorable competition that will especially appeal to people who love to demonstrate their vocal talents. You need to stock up on small pieces of paper in advance, 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. Place 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 short song, invented personally on the spot, making sure to use the word he was given several times.

Children's games for New Year's celebrations

Check out our list of fun new activities for kids.

Draw the symbol of the New Year

As you know, children like to portray various characters, so they will probably take part in this competition with particular enthusiasm. Tell the kids that the symbol of the upcoming New Year 2018 is a dog, and invite them to portray this animal and also 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, don’t 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 babies who have barely learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment requires precise coordination of movements and the ability to control one’s actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first, hang a couple of your child’s favorite candies on the holiday tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold your child and lead him to the tree, asking him to find candy on the tree within a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, tumble the tree itself, or fall himself.

Round dance

This game has many variations. For example, “The mice dance in circles.” First, using a counting rhyme, you need to choose a “cat” among the children. The “cat” sits down on a chair or directly on the floor, closing his eyes. The other participants turn out to be “mice” who begin to dance around the “cat”, saying:

“The mice dance in circles,
The cat is sleeping on the stove.
Quiet the mouse, don't make noise,
Don't wake up Vaska the cat,
How Vaska the cat wakes up -
It will break up the whole round dance!”

When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and at the last word “Round Dance” opens his eyes and runs after the mice who 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 enjoy this entertainment, but for this you should stock up on sheets of paper and markers or colored pencils in advance. Tell the children that now they have to prepare a letter for Santa Claus, but they don’t need to write anything in it - they just need a drawing. In this drawing, invite the children to depict how they see the future New Year and what they want. We can talk about some trips, gifts and the like. Please clarify right away that, most likely, Santa Claus will not be able to fulfill all your wishes, but he will still take some of them into account.

Let's make a snowman

Making a snowman is fun and exciting, even in cases where we are not talking about winter fun on the street. For this game you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business and 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 child and the left hand of another act as if we were talking about the hands of one person - in this way the children will have to make a snowman out of plasticine. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start working together, then everything will certainly work out!

Competition for the best snowflake

Most children love to do their own crafts. Tell the children that they need to decorate the room in which they play with snowflakes. Of course, to do this, you will first need to make those same snowflakes. You can demonstrate a master class yourself on exactly how to cut out such snowflakes, or simply set a general direction and let the kids act at their own discretion. Even if the result is far from perfect, in no case do you need to declare it - together with the children, decorate the room with the snowflakes they made (stick them to the window, hang them on strings from the chandelier, and so on). Also reward the most beautiful works with sweet prizes.

Competition - guess the hero

For this activity, seat young participants in a circle. Now invite the players each in turn to name the continuation of the name of the fairy-tale character, for example; “Zo (lushka)”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Belo (snow)” and so on. A child who could not give the correct answer is eliminated from the game, but those children who remain 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 there is only one winner left - you can designate in advance that, for example, the remaining three will win.

Hide and seek

It is perhaps difficult to find a person who has never heard of such fun. However, the principle of this entertainment is quite simple and is hidden in its name alone. So, while one kid counts, for example, to ten, closing his eyes or hiding in one of the rooms, the other kids scatter around the house and hide. When it passes 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 at this point, or continue searching for other participants. The child who was discovered first subsequently takes up the search himself, also counting to ten.

Fun entertainment for corporate events

If you want your corporate party was fun and unforgettable, pay attention to some exciting games.

1. Mandarin relay. We offer very interesting option This entertainment requires two teams with the same number of participants. Each team represents a player who puts a tangerine in a spoon and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with the 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 can complete the task first will win. Please note that when carrying a tangerine, you cannot hold it with anything.

2. Bottle. This is a fairly famous game that marked the beginning of many office romances. Be that as it may, 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 to whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer) will point. After this, the bottle is offered to be twisted by the one who came under “her sights.”

3. Comic forfeits with predictions about work. Many of us have a positive attitude towards various kinds of predictions, and some even believe in them. The New Year has long been directly connected 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 is up to you to decide. Anyone can take a note with a prophecy from the bag. In addition, you can make special, rather simple cookies with such predictions. Write only positive predictions related to work - about an increase in salary, about new ideas, and the like.

4. Lottery competition. A very interesting lottery that will certainly evoke positive feelings among its participants. Having made a list of participants for the upcoming holiday in advance, ask each guest to come with their own craft, packaged 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 the packages, and write the same numbers on small pieces of paper. Subsequently, each lottery participant will have to draw his number from a special bag or just a hat.

5. Game “I have never...” A very popular and exciting game that you could see in some foreign films. Each participant in the festive evening must utter a confession phrase that begins with the words: “I have never...”. Example: “I have never slept in a tent.” People to whom this statement does not apply take a sip of wine. Next, the next party participant makes a certain confession, and those guests to whom the next confession is not related again take a sip of wine. Phrases can be funny, but each time they should be more and more personal, for example: “I have never slept naked.” However, you shouldn’t get too carried away, so as not to give away your most big secrets.

When a company celebrates a holiday, subordinates inevitably have to contact their superiors. To prevent such a pastime from becoming boring and obsequious, you need to look for additional solutions. Funny competitions for a New Year's corporate party with jokes that will allow the entire vacationing public to relax and have a wonderful evening can be a great help in this regard.

Riddle for the boss

To carry out this cool competition For a New Year's corporate party, it is better to choose a time when your bosses will come to the party. When the boss appears, all the staff stands in a row with their backs to him, each with a Santa Claus hat on his head. The boss must recognize each employee from behind, without seeing his face. If he recognizes every single one, then the group will sing something for him, and if he confuses or forgets someone, he will have to fulfill that person’s wishes.

New Year's couples

When the New Year's party has already warmed up enough and relaxed at the festive table, you can organize a competition to identify New Year's couples.

For despondency and sadness, there is a strict punishment - to fulfill the team's forfeits, otherwise you will not see bonuses in the new year.

Pantomime

The presenter prepares tokens with the names of fairy-tale characters in advance and distributes them to the competition participants. They must use pantomime to make it clear to the public who they are portraying. The task can be simplified somewhat by narrowing the type of characters to New Year's ones or, for example, taking only animals. The audience will determine the most artistic mime of the work collective.

Draw a New Year's boss

For this fun you need to prepare a sheet of Whatman paper and a marker. Participants in the competition take turns drawing out their forfeits, which indicate the part of the boss’s image that they will have to draw. Then, also one by one and blindfolded, the participants approach the “canvas” and draw their detail of the boss. Since he must be New Year’s, his clothes must resemble those of Father Frost, and his face must have a thick beard. Everyone will have to show intuition so that their part of the body ends up in the right place, but you also need to place a sleigh, reindeer, and a bag of gifts there.

In general, Picasso would be jealous of the result, and the boss would probably like it too.

Sleight of hand

To run this competition for 4 participants, you will need a stool, 4 eye scarves and 4 tablespoons. The stool is placed upside down, the participants are placed near its legs with their backs to the stool and blindfolded. Agree, the most fun competitions for New Year's corporate parties, those where participants need to do something with their eyes closed. So, the presenter gives them the command to take three full steps forward, after which each person is given a spoon and tasked with placing the spoon on “their” leg of the stool. The audience can give hints, guiding the “blind,” but behind the general hubbub they can make out little. The spectacle turns out to be hilarious.

Round dance

Guests of the holiday silently dance around the Christmas tree. The presenter explains the rules - he will ask the question “Do we all have...?” ending with a body part. Having heard such a question, the round dance participants must take each other by the corresponding part of the body. It all starts with innocent hands, but then the presenter moves on to ears, noses, and then even to breasts and “fifths” (if the composition of the company allows).

Siamese twins

The competition must involve randomly selected pairs that are paired back to back. Then you can playfully mock them - let them quickly make a circle around the tree or dance a waltz, or even better - a sailor's apple. Oh, and such a “Siamese twin” will make everyone laugh!

Passionate encounter

This competition is intended for real married couples. The spouses are placed at some distance from each other, and between them is an open bottle of alcoholic drink. The husband is blindfolded, given a good spin, after which he is asked to approach his wife and hug her passionately. He carefully tries to move towards her, because he is afraid of knocking over the bottle, but he has no idea that it had already been removed by this time.

Enjoy the gift

After presenting the gifts, you can hold a competition like this. The Snow Maiden chooses how guests should carry their gifts: placing them on their heads, holding them between their legs, on their shoulders, etc. It is important here that the gifts are not breakable or too heavy.

Santa Claus bag

All participants in the feast line up in a row, with Santa Claus at one end and his bag of gifts at the opposite end.

New Year's cricket for men

We need four brave souls, to whom the host gives each a woman’s stocking containing a potato. They fasten the end of the stocking to the belt so that the potato dangles between the legs.

Mummy

Snowflake

They compete in the competition in pairs, each participant is given a snowflake (a piece of cotton wool) and a spoon. They must, without dropping the snowflake, carry it in a spoon from start to finish faster than their competitor. The competition can be turned into a relay race between two teams.

All participants in this fun and cool competition for a New Year's corporate party form a circle, holding hands. There should be no sharp, breakable or other dangerous objects nearby. The host tells each player in his ear the names of two animals. And he loudly explains to everyone that when he pronounces the name of an animal, the person to whom it was whispered must quickly sit down, and his closest neighbors on both sides, sensing his intention, must prevent him, supporting him by the arms. This must be done at a fairly fast pace, without breaks.

The thing is that the host calls all the players a whale as the second animal. At first, he shouts out the name of one or another animal with understandable consequences. But at some point he says “Whale!” - and everyone falls to the floor together, because there is no one to hold them!

Snowman

Next, the participants must take turns taking the first egg they come across and hitting themselves on the forehead with it. Everyone is anticipating that someone will be unlucky and get a raw egg. Special sympathy will be given to the last player, who simply must come across the ill-fated raw egg. What a relief the daredevil will be when it also turns out to be boiled. He deserves to receive a prize for courage if he was not afraid to break this egg.

Several guys can compete and are asked to choose a pretty lady from those present. Then the presenter asks the men what part of the body they were attracted to specific women. They name them, for which they are given the task of writing an advertisement for these body parts. The most successful advertising option is rewarded with a prize.

In order

The pencil is tied to one end of the rope, and the other is tucked into the belt. An empty bottle is placed on the floor in front of each participant, into which he must put his pencil without hands.

Baba Yaga

This competition can be designed as a relay race between several teams. Participants in the game must race in a mortar (bucket) with a broom (mop) forward to the line and back to their team, passing the baton and props to the next player. Since the “mortar” is small, only one leg fits into it, so you need to hold the bucket with your hand, and the other will hold a mop. The racing is a lot of fun!

Dancing on an ice floe

When the first dance break begins during a break in the feast, not all guests take advantage of it. The presenter can easily take note of such “lazy people” and mentally “sentence” them to participate in the next competition. A sheet of newspaper is placed on the floor for each participant in the competition, who, on command, begins to dance on it. Then the music is turned off and the newspaper is folded in half. And again dancing, but in a smaller area. And so on several times until the newspaper turns into a piece of paper. The audience rewards the best dancer with applause, and then everyone moves on to real dancing.

Let's sing, friends!

Music competitions for corporate events on New Year's Eve are especially popular. In the competition described, all guests must be divided into two choirs. First, one choir asks a question by singing a line from a song, for example, “What should I give you, my dear man?” The rival team must give a worthy answer: “A million, a million, a million scarlet roses...”. The competition continues until one of the teams has an answer.

Alcoholic

Think for three

Cool New Year's competitions for corporate parties are never complete without alcohol, and so that the team not only drinks, but also has fun, you can turn drinking into a game. For example, in this competition you will not need to jump, run or squat, but only drink.

Teams of 3 people must participate, each of which is given a bottle of champagne. The presenter gives the go-ahead, upbeat music is turned on, and the teams open the bottles and try to drink them as quickly as possible. For three it's not that difficult. The team that is the first to raise the empty bottle up is declared the winner.

New Year's cocktail

Several people participate in the competition, a blindfolded presenter and a “bartender”. The latter must prepare each volunteer a personal cocktail from any drinks present at the festive table. The bartender picks up bottle after bottle and asks the “host”: “This one?” When he answers in the affirmative, the bartender pours the ingredient into the glass, and so on until each participant’s glass contains 3 different ingredients. After this, all that remains is to make a toast and drink a cocktail.

Champagne in a glass, tangerine in your mouth

Participants are divided into teams of 3 people, each given a closed bottle of champagne, an unpeeled tangerine and glasses. At the go-ahead from the leader, the teams must open their bottles, pour out the drink and drink it, then peel the tangerine, divide it into slices and eat it. The team that finishes everything first will be the winner.

Table

Get rid of your significant other

Competitions and entertainment for the New Year can lead to anything, so it wouldn’t hurt to come up with explanations in advance different situations for your other half. Participants take out forfeits, which describe a specific situation for which they have to come up with witty excuses. Situations may be like this:

• there are traces of lipstick on the collar of the shirt;
• a napkin with the number of some Tamara was found in his trouser pocket;
• the wife came home wearing men's shoes;
• what's a man's tie doing in your purse?;
• the husband is wearing his underpants inside out;
• I receive an SMS on my phone saying “thank you for the hot evening”, etc.

Treasure for the boss

This competition will show how well the boss knows his team. The host receives one personal item from all participants in the feast and puts them in a box or bag. Naturally, the boss should not see this. Then the presenter invites the boss to take one thing out of the bag and guess the name of its owner.

Intonation

Between active fun and games, you shouldn’t forget about table competitions at the New Year’s corporate party, because they help restore a little strength, but at the same time do not let the team at the table get bored.

The presenter prepares several simple phrases, for example, “The storm covers the sky with darkness.” The participants in the game must take turns pronouncing it, but in their own way, giving different intonations: interrogative, exclamatory, sarcastic, sad, angry, etc. The player whose imagination in choosing intonation has dried up is eliminated from the game. The one who comes up with the idea wins last option pronunciation.

You can change this competition at the table a little: the presenter himself tells each participant the intonation with which he should say the phrase. The one who was the most convincing wins.

Leap into the New Year
A ribbon is pulled in front of the players, symbolizing the junction of two years. As soon as the presenter calls the number “three”, everyone makes a jump into the “new year”, that is, they jump over the ribbon.

New Year is my favorite holiday,
How beautiful, look.
We'll jump into the New Year together,
As I say: one-two-five...
New Year comes at midnight
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 Christmas tree will light up
When he hears: one-two-seven!
We are tired of waiting for a long time,
It's time to say "three".
Those who didn't jump are a cucumber!
Whoever jumped, well done!

Sew on a button
2 teams of 4 people each participate. The teams stand behind 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 reels on which a 5-meter long rope 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 you need 2 chairs, which are located at a distance of approximately 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 from the leader, 2 “shepherds” must drive their “sheep” (balls of a certain color) into their “caves” (chairs) with plastic bottles. This needs to be done quickly, without “losing” a single “sheep.”

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

Musical vinaigrette
The game involves 6 people, i.e. 3 pairs. To modern music, couples need to dance “gypsy”, “lezginka”, tango, “lady”, modern dance. Based on the audience's applause, the best couple is chosen.

Cover
The player is asked to cover himself with a blanket. Then they report that those around him have made a wish for the thing that is on him and offer to guess what it is. For each incorrect answer, the player must remove the named item. The secret of the game is that the correct answer is a blanket, and the player, as a rule, does not know about it. For convenience, the blanket can be supported by someone else.

This is me, this is me, these are all my friends
1. Who sometimes walks with a cheerful gait with vodka?
2. Tell me out loud, which of you catches flies at work?
3. Who is not afraid of frost and drives like a bird?

10. Which of you walks on the pavement with your head upside down?
11. Which of you, I want to know, likes to sleep at work?
12. Which of you comes to the office an hour late?

Where did I go last year
This game requires three to four people. They turn their backs to the guests. Sheets of paper are attached to their backs, on which the names of institutions, organizations, and public places are written. For example: bathhouse, police station, railway station, etc. If the party is private, close people have gathered, you can be naughty and, without holding back 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 admission to 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 funny mismatches and inconsistencies arise.

Khristoforovna, Nikanorovna
You need space to run, at least a little. We divide everyone into 2 teams, put 2 chairs, and hang scarves on the chairs. On command, the first players run, run to a 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 faster team wins. The losing team sings ditties.

Gifts from Santa Claus
Call 5-6 people. They must illustrate with movement the words of the presenter. The winner is the one who shows all the movements better.
Santa Claus brought gifts to the family.
He gave dad a comb.
Show him with one hand how he combs his hair.
He gave his son skis.
Show him how he skis.
He gave his mother a meat grinder.
Show her how she twists the meat.
He gave his daughter a doll.
She bats her eyelashes and says “Mom.”
And he gave his grandmother a Chinese bobblehead that shakes its head.”
All movements are performed simultaneously.

Long arm
Place the glasses with the drink on the floor at your feet and walk as far as possible. And then get your glass without leaving your place and without touching the floor with your hands and knees.

Boxing
At the beginning of this game, the host of a corporate party challenges 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 presenter escalates the situation, as if holding a real boxing match. After a short warm-up, the opponents converge in the center of the ring. The judge announces the rules of the fight. After that, he gives the participants the same candy and asks them to remove the wrapper as quickly as possible.

Hang the toy on the Christmas tree
Participants with their Christmas tree toys go out into the middle of the room. Everyone is blindfolded and everyone is rotated several times around their 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 fold it. If the participant chooses the wrong path, he is obliged to hang the toy on what he “bumps” into. To create confusion in the ranks of the participants, women can be evenly distributed around the room and stand in their way. The winner is the one who hangs the toy on the tree and the one who finds the most original place for the toy.

Lady
Guests are divided into 3 groups. They sing the phrases:
“There are soaked brooms in the bathhouse” (in a low voice).
“The spindles are not crushed” (high).
“But the sponges are not dried” (low).
All: “Mistress, lady, lady-madam.”

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

Bullseye
Each dancing couple holds an apple or a small ball between their foreheads. The musician changes melodies from slow to fast. The dancers' task is to hold the apple. The last one sounds is “Apple”, and you are invited to dance in a squat position.

Accuracy
For accuracy competitions, it is best to use a factory-made Darts game. A simpler option is to throw markers or felt-tip pens (with the cap open) from a distance of 3-5 m at a target drawn on a sheet of paper attached to the wall. You can come up with a humorous meaning for each number that determines the degree of attitude towards work. The most accurate participant receives a prize. The marker should be intended for drawing only on paper, then accidental traces of it can be easily washed off with alcohol.

New Year is one of the most long-awaited and favorite holidays. This is also the time when all office papers are put away on the table, the Christmas tree is decorated and champagne is opened. This is the time when all employees stay in the office to celebrate this wonderful holiday together. This is also a time when each employee has a chance to get to know their colleagues better, when the team can unite even more.

The winner will be the one whose butt correctly determines the number of nuts on her chair.

Competition No. 13. "New Year's lottery."

Anyone can take part in the lottery. The presenter distributes a piece of paper with a number to everyone present. He has other leaves with the same numbers in his hat. The huge red bag contains gifts wrapped in beautiful paper. Some of them are real, and some are jokes. For example, the bag may contain scented candles and beautiful soap self made or a box of chocolates made from plasticine and a bottle of whiskey that smells like apple juice. The presenter takes out a gift and a piece of paper with a number from the hat. The one who has this number receives a gift. This way, every employee in the office will receive either a real or a comic gift. But the main thing is that everyone will have a good mood.

We always look forward to the New Year with great impatience, because it is a favorite holiday for both adults and children. Every family carefully prepares for it: they plan, invite guests, buy outfits, think through the course of the event so that it does not turn into simple overeating. New Year's table games for adults best option for those who have invited guests and want to have fun. If you yourself are embarrassed to act as a leader, you can determine it at the table. Therefore, boldly and without hesitation, we appoint the most active of the guests as responsible for games for adults. Well, preparing them will not be any problem.

New Year's games for a small company

Table fun competitions for New Year's celebration It’s not difficult to find, the main thing is to be able to adapt them to your company. If it is small, then entertainment should be selected accordingly.

Carried

You will need radio-controlled cars, two of them. Two contestants prepare their cars and the “track” to any point in the room, placing a shot of vodka on their cars. Then, carefully, without spilling, they try to roll it to their destination, where they drink it. You can continue the game by bringing some snacks. You can also make it in the form of a relay race, for this you will have to divide into teams, the first must bring it to the point and back, pass the baton to another neighbor, the last player drinks a glass or what is left in it.

Cheerful artist

The presenter makes a wish for the first player; he stands in a pose that characterizes what was wished for, without voicing it. For example: a man screws in a lamp. In turn, each participant must adjust to the previous one so that the picture emerges. The latter stands up like an artist with a brush and easel for painting. He is trying to tell what exactly he “depicted.” Then, everyone talks about their pose.

"I never" (or "I never")

This is a funny confession. Each of the guests invited to begins to confess with the phrase: “I have never...”. For example: “I have never drunk tequila.” But the answers must be progressive. That is, someone who has already confessed to small things must then talk about something deeper. Table confessions can be very fun, the main thing is not to get carried away, otherwise you can give away your deepest secrets.

Table games for a large, cheerful group of adults

If a large party has gathered to celebrate the New Year, it is best to hold group or team events.

let's drink

The company is divided into two groups and stands in a row opposite each other. Each person has a disposable glass of wine in their hands (it’s better not to take champagne and strong drinks, as you can choke). Place glasses in everyone's right hand. On command, they must give their neighbor a drink in order of priority: first last man gives water to the second to last one, the next one, and so on. As soon as the first one has received his dose, he runs to the last one and treats him. Those who finish first will be the winners.

"Mistress"

A merry New Year's holiday necessarily means a lot of decorations. The company is divided into two halves, each of them is given a box of the same size. Also, each team receives a certain number of different things: Christmas decorations, candy wrappers, sweets, napkins, souvenirs, etc. It is necessary to temporarily and carefully place everything in the boxes so that they close evenly without bulges. After a certain amount of alcohol, this is not so easy to do.

Whichever team puts things together more neatly and quickly will be the winner. The quality should not suffer; if this is the case, a vote should be organized from people not participating in the competition.

"Tumbleweed"

Guests at the New Year's table are divided equally and sit on chairs opposite each other. The first player is given an apple in their lap, they must roll the apple across their lap from the first player to the last without using their hands. If the fruit falls, the group loses, but they can redeem themselves by picking it up without hands and returning it to the very beginning.

"Drinkers"

This will be a relay race. We install two stools, on the stools there are plastic glasses with an alcoholic drink. There should be as many of them as there are players. We divide the guests in half, possibly by gender, and place them behind each other, opposite each stool at some distance from it. Everyone's hands are behind their backs. We place a trash bin next to them. One by one, they run up to the high chair, drink any of the glasses without their hands, then run back, throwing the empty container in the trash and return to the back of the line. Only after this can the next person run.

Games at the table for a New Year's corporate party

The entertainment program can also be of a table type. This scenario is chosen for a more shy group of people.

Merry singers

For this game, you should prepare cards in advance with any words related to the holiday, alcohol, New Year's characters, etc. For example: Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snow, vodka, wine, sparks, candles, frost, Santa Claus, gifts. Then a presenter is selected who will nominate a player, pull out a card and announce the word itself. The chosen person must sing a verse or chorus featuring that word in the song. No more than 10 seconds are given to think. This game can be played by dividing into teams, the result will be a larger number of songs performed.

Rhyme

All guests at the table stand in a circle. The presenter has cards with the words “uh”, “ah”, “eh” and “oh”. The player draws a card, and the others make a wish for him. For example, he said, “Oh.” The team says: “Hug three” or “Kiss three” or “Catch three.” Here is an example of several wishes:

“Walk on your hands”;
“stand on your hands”;
“share about the news”;
“dance in front of guests”;
“sing in front of guests”;

“tell everyone your compliments out loud”;
“shout that you are a mug”;
“kiss two at once”;
“crawl between two legs”;
“tell your wishes out loud”;
“find out two with your eyes closed”;

“make everyone laugh”;
“hug everyone”;
“give everyone a drink”;
“feed everyone.”

You can come up with funny answers ad infinitum, the main thing is that the rhyme is observed.

Tell us about the hostess(s)

Everything is very simple here. You should prepare questions for guests in advance, such as:

If it's a pair, then:

• “Where did these people meet?”
• “How many years have they been living together?”
• "Favorite vacation spot."

Desires

The first participant is given a pen and a piece of paper. He writes briefly his great desire: “I want…”. The rest only write adjectives like: let it be fluffy, it must be iron, or simply smelly, senseless, and so on.

Very adult, funny and cool entertainment

Adult games at the New Year's table are not suitable for every company - this should be taken into account. But after a certain amount of time, you can try to offer them something from the repertoire below and then navigate the situation. The answers can be both serious and funny.

Christmas tree

For the competition you need to stock up (preferably ones that don't break) and clothespins. First, attach all the toys by strings to clothespins. Several couples of the opposite sex are called, the men are blindfolded, and within a certain period of time they must hook as many toys as possible onto the women's clothing. The game can be “diluted” by changing pairs and removing clothespins from other women. You can also switch their roles - women will dress up men. And don’t forget to rate each Christmas tree, because the one with the most elegant one will win, and only then, to the stormy applause of the company, take off the toys.

Fairy tale

Any short fairy tale is included. All participants of the New Year's table stand in a circle, leaving the center free. An author is appointed who reads a fairy tale, for example “The Three Little Pigs”; it is not very short, but can be easily reduced to a page. Then everyone in a circle chooses a role for themselves. And not only animated heroes, but also natural phenomenon or objects. A tree, grass, even the phrase “once upon a time,” can be played upon.

The story begins: Once upon a time there lived (went or went “lived and were”) three little pigs (went the little pigs). The sun was shining in the sky (the sky is shining while holding the sun in your arms). The piglets were lying on the grass (a “grass” lay down, or better yet three pieces of grass, the piglets fell on it), etc. If there are few people, the freed heroes in the form of grass can take on the following roles to continue the game.

You can act out not only a fairy tale, but also a song or poem, or you can come up with your own funny stories.

Sweet tooth

Several pairs of the opposite sex are selected for the game. Men are blindfolded, women are placed on pre-prepared tables or chairs (sports mats). Napkins are placed over their body, on which chocolate candies without candy wrappers are placed. Then they bring a man to them, and he must find all the candies without hands (and therefore without eyes). You don't have to eat them. To avoid embarrassment, it is best to call spouses or a real couple. But adults, especially at the New Year's table, with a good sense of humor, which is seasoned with a glass of champagne, usually have no problems.

Eat a banana

Several pairs are called. Men sit on chairs, hold a banana between their knees, women approach their partners and, hiding their hands behind their backs, must peel and eat it. For the procedure, adults are given a certain amount of time. You can also use cucumbers instead of bananas.

Finally

New Year's games for fun company should be prepared in advance. Especially if there will be a lot of guests and among them there will be unfamiliar people about whom you need to learn as much as possible. Entertaining competitions at the New Year's table for adults are diluted with dancing or karaoke singing for variety.

Table games 2021 can be played both for fun and for incentive prizes. If you choose team adult games, then votes are counted for each group. If the participants are competing alone, reward them with chips, and then by counting the chips, the prize goes to the winner. The rest of the adults at the New Year's table will be content with consoling gifts.
