Fun for the New Year with friends. Games and competitions with jokes for corporate events

How to organize a New Year's celebration at home?

More than 75% of Russians celebrate the New Year at home or visiting relatives or friends. The tradition is wonderful, but in order for the holiday not to turn into a banal binge in front of the TV and for the memory to retain the feeling of a wonderful evening and night, you need to not only invite guests and treat them well, but also be able to entertain them. Of course, there are few people who are able to plan a New Year celebration as a serious cultural event, and not everyone is ready to take on the role of toastmaster, and a professional toastmaster in a home celebration will look, at a minimum, inappropriate.

Celebrating the New Year with your company and family is very fun and easy if you take a little time to think about everything in advance and do some “homework.” In this article we offer you several games and competitions that can be organized at home or outdoors.

It is better to come up with competitions in advance, taking into account the taste of the invited guests.

So, for example, if a company likes to play cards, then it is not at all necessary to play the already well-known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game, beloved by many people around the world. To do this, you need to explain the rules to everyone, and then you can arrange an impromptu poker tournament.

It is more convenient, easier and more fun to conduct games and competitions with simple rules and a minimum of props. The only condition is that there must always be a person who organizes the game and explains its rules to all participants.

What's in the bag?

This game can be played when you have just arrived at the guest house, holiday cottage and unloaded your bags. The presenter takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what history happened with a similar item, and the like. He says it needs to be done in such a way that the guessers suffer a little and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses it gets the item, and along with it the task. If it is bread, then cut it. If it’s canned food, then open it, if it’s an apple, then wash it, if it’s charcoal, then put on a grill... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.

I am the only lunar rover

To participate in this game, you can already take a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets down on all fours and, moving on four bones, says quite seriously: “I am the only lunar rover, peak-peak starting the reception...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes lunar rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes lunar rovers, and the one who doesn’t laugh wins. The phrase of the lunar rover can be expanded: “... I’m heading to the lunar base for refueling.” In a word, improvisation will only enhance the “ha-ha” effect.

"ABC".

The meaning of this game is as follows: in a circle, starting with the first letter of the alphabet, i.e. A, and further down the alphabet, those sitting at the table say a congratulation phrase. For example: A - “And I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!” And so on... Sometimes you get very funny phrases :).

"Mummy"

Several pairs of volunteers are called. In each pair, one of the participants must build a “mummy” from the other using a roll of toilet paper and come up with a name for it. The winner is the one who receives more applause from the audience and whose figure is the most interesting.

A la towns

In the fresh air, while, for example, barbecue is being prepared, children are getting underfoot, and adults have not lost coordination, the whole group can play a simplified version of the towns. To do this, you need to collect approximately identical pieces of firewood around the area and one stick that will serve as a bat. A circle is drawn on the ground, firewood is laid out in any shape (like a pioneer fire or a well), and each participant (distracted from the task for a while) from a certain distance knocks out as much wood as possible from the circle. But this is not so easy and you can’t do it the first time. If you replace the bat with a ball, you get something a la bowling.

Zoo

You only play at the zoo once in your life, and then it’s no longer interesting. If it so happens that there are no such lucky people in your company or there are only a few of them, you will have great fun. The presenter speaks the name of the animal into everyone's ear. Then everyone stands in a circle and firmly takes each other by the arms. The presenter names the animal. For example: “Which one of you is a crocodile?” And the crocodile must suddenly sit down, and the non-crocodiles must hold it. Then they call the monkey. The same thing happens. But on the third click, the main thing happens. After the question: “Which one of you is a hippopotamus?”, everyone falls to the ground together, and, realizing that they have been deceived, they laugh. Because the trick of this game is that all but one or two participants receive the same animal name.

"Seventh heaven".

This competition is especially attractive for children. At a certain height, a rope is stretched, on which surprise souvenirs are hung at different levels. The task of each participant is to run up and jump as high as possible and pick the souvenir they like.

"Bridge".

Motor coordination test. Participants must take turns walking along a straight line without ever leaving it. The difficulty of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path you need to perform a simple movement: Grab your left ear over your knee with your right hand and make 3 circles around your axis.

"Line-ball."

Participants are divided into 2 groups, each of them is given a large canvas, which is used for a collective throw of the ball. One of the subgroups receives the ball. Task: throw the ball from one surface to another without dropping it.

"Reindeer Sleds"

The task is to divide into pairs to cover the distance. ½ distance, the pair walks around the cones, in the following position - the first player stands on his hands, the second holds his legs. At the last cone, players change places. Thus, all participants complete the distance.

"Snowballs."

Hit a snowball into a bucket. Each participant is given 5 attempts. According to the overall team result.

What other outdoor activities can there be in nature?

Taking a snow town, sliding down a hill and sculpting a snow woman

Lighting a fire, decorating the Christmas tree with improvised materials

Sledding, skiing, ice skating

Snowmobiling

Launching sky lanterns

Soap bubble generator (in winter they freeze and become covered with a pattern, like on windows)

Firecrackers, boom-fetti.

Meat on a spit, kebabs

Hot Mulled wine in a Samovar or in thermoses

Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.

Round dance, dancing around the Christmas tree, dressing up as buffoons, gypsies, national Russian or Altai costumes

Games, competitions and fun make an ordinary New Year at home unforgettable. Impressions fueled by laughter last a long time. Next, professional entertainer Zakhar Sokhatsky shares his recipes for a cheerful home New Year:

The first thing you can do for a good mood is to radically turn off the TV. The best you can do is listen to the chimes, and after draining your glasses, press the red button on the TV remote control. After all, in recent years, New Year's Eve on television has been a failure, and it is unlikely that anything will change this time.

It’s much better to have fun chatting with each other, playing something, and shedding your seriousness for one New Year’s Eve.

In this sense, the “pajama party” method is very helpful - guests are asked to bring pajamas to the party (or some other purely home clothes - T-shirt, shorts) and change immediately upon arrival. I assure you, this will make your holiday much more comfortable than a prim reception in evening dresses. Besides, you don’t have to spend the whole December thinking about what to wear so spectacularly for the New Year. Less show-off - more joy.

Puzzle your guests in advance: ask everyone to prepare some kind of surprise. For example, everyone can learn a trick with cards or matches, or something else easy, non-stressful, for pulling. But do not demonstrate everything at once, but at some interval. Let this theme of homemade preparations run through your holiday.

Also ask each guest to bring with them a wish in an envelope that will go to one of the other guests. All the envelopes are mixed, each person making a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be designed for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about the Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink in one gulp, for example, a glass of cocktail made from cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee), and for the entire current year (get married, give birth, become deputy of the regional Duma, etc.). In a year, you will conduct a debriefing and see who really knows how to keep their word.

Immediately after midnight, everyone goes out into the yard together for a short time - just to shout, to relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what the workaholic Japanese do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thus thrown off the negativity of the past year, we return to the warmth, to the already set table. By the way, what's on our table? A New Year in the Russian folk style or with classic “Soviet traditions” is good, but if this is already “boring”, an “ethnic” approach will help make the New Year’s table more original. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentine or other little-known cuisine. This is not difficult to do - there are many culinary reference books now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the housewife’s “arsenal” for the future. The “ethnic table” will give guests completely new sensations, which fully corresponds to the very idea of ​​New Year’s Eve. If the company is large and the organization of the table requires joint participation, you can agree in advance for each guest or family to prepare some kind of “ethnic” dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.

Next, I can suggest playing “Yudashkin.” Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a petite build, so that there is more room for imagination. Each team takes 3-4 minutes to dress a girl in the funniest way possible, putting everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. We dressed, assessed, photographed - and now we undress the girl, and for a while. Without fanaticism, to the original state.

While dressing the girl, the guests have already become a little acquainted with the house where everything happens - it’s time to play “tax inspector”. We select two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are exactly available in the apartment. Children usually take part in the game with pleasure. The winner is the team that lays the most items at the feet of the stern taxman.

No matter how well the holiday goes, try sometimes to remember the inevitability of the morning. Morning will most likely come in the evening of January 1st. If the guests have not left before bedtime, you can cheer them up a little, for example, agree in advance: whoever drank the most will organize exercises in the fresh air for everyone. It’s harsh, but it invigorates and brings you back to life. You can plant some other intrigue in the evening: for example, a social burden (going to the store) on the least drunk person - so that no one wants to be this “lucky one”. It is advisable to plan the program for the “morning” in advance. But whether you can fulfill it depends only on you.

Happy New Year to you!

To make the New Year's celebration interesting and joyful, hold a couple of competitions for guests. The article contains entertainment that is suitable for events of various formats.

For the whole family

Guests young and old will be able to take part in family competitions for the New Year 2019. Each game is designed to bring loved ones closer together on the eve of the holiday.

Memory Relay

You will need a symbolic baton. It can be any object, for example, a chocolate bar. The goal of the competition is to spend the outgoing year with kind words and pleasant memories.

A person with a baton in his hands must quickly remember the most wonderful event that happened to him over the past 12 months. He tells the crowd about it. Then he passes the wand to any of those present.
If someone hesitates and cannot quickly remember anything positive, then he is awarded the comic prize “Lucky of the Year 2018”. Among New Year's games and entertainment for the family, this relay race is one of the most heartwarming competitions.

Balloons with wishes

You need to prepare for this entertainment in advance. Write wishes for your household on pieces of paper, then place them inside inflatable balloons. You will also need a hat or cap. Leaves with the names of different parts of the body (elbow, heel, knee) are placed in the headdress.

Guests choose their favorite balls. But they shouldn't just eat them. This must be done with the part of the body that is written on the piece of paper from the hat. As a reward for their efforts, everyone will receive good wishes for the coming year.

New Year's Oscar

The New Year's Oscar is awarded for the best performance in the role of the symbol of the New Year. The mascot of the upcoming holiday is a pig. Everyone has a specific role. One will be a “sad pig”, another will be a “mysterious”, the third will be a “piggy dreaming of rolling in the mud.”

From those who did not want to try on the role of the symbol of the New Year, you can assemble the “academy jury”. All “actors” are given props – toy snouts and ears.

Over the next 15-20 minutes, each player behaves according to their role. At the same time, you can continue to communicate with each other, but this must be done in the manner of the pig that the participant received.

At the end, the jury deliberates and writes the winner's name on paper. The leaflet can be placed in a pre-prepared envelope so that everything is like at a real ceremony. The winner receives a prize for the most artistic pig.

For children

These entertainments will appeal to kids who do not yet go to school and primary school students. All children's competitions are active and aimed at uniting the children.

Snowballs

The competition consists of two parts. The first is making snowballs. The children are divided into two groups and a pile of newspapers is dumped in front of each of them. In a minute, the guys must “blind” them into snowballs.

After the children make “projectiles”, you can move on to the second part of the competition - the accuracy competition. Teams line up in two rows. Colored tape is glued to the floor in front of them. It marks a line that participants must not cross.

A few meters from the markings, baskets are placed - children should aim snowballs there. Time is noted again. Participants one by one approach the “firing line” and throw snowballs into the basket. The team whose catch is greater wins.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Ideally, for this competition you will need two small New Year's trees. But you can show your imagination and choose “Christmas trees” from children. The remaining players are divided into two teams. They are given safe, unbreakable toys on strings. The goal of the competition is to hang as many decorations as possible on the spruce tree in a minute. In this case, the child in the role of a tree should stand motionless.

You can complicate the game by placing “Christmas trees” at a distance of several meters from the teams, so that the participants take turns running up to it with decorations.

Tinsel

Two teams stand opposite each other. Each participant is given tinsel. The competition begins to the New Year's tune. The first player must tie his tinsel around the hand of the second child, and the latter must tie the hand of the third. When it’s the last participant’s turn, he runs to the first and puts his tinsel on his hand.

After this, the children raise their hands up together. The team that does this first wins.

Table

Sometimes you want to have fun without leaving the table. Below are competitions that will give guests a good mood without taking up a lot of energy.

Remember the alphabet

“Remember the Alphabet” is an entertainment that is ideal for that moment when guests have already drunk and eaten, but are still cheerful and cheerful. For this competition you will need filled glasses and a sense of humor.

The presenter says that he forgot the entire alphabet due to alcohol. In order for him to remember it, the guests must take turns making toasts. The first participant begins his speech with the letter A, the second with B, the third with C, and so on in a circle. For example: “Shouldn’t we drink to your health?”, “Be happy in the new year!”, “Money and good luck to everyone.”

At the end, the most original toast is chosen, and the guests drink to the winner.

Song from the hat

For this game you need to write on pieces of paper words on a New Year's theme (winter, blizzard, Snow Maiden, snowflake). The papers are sent to the header.

Guests take turns taking out pieces of paper and singing songs that contain the word they come across. To make it even more fun, you can include karaoke videos from the Internet as an accompaniment.

And again about gifts

For this game you need to prepare a bag with small comic gifts. The presenter turns to the guest sitting on the left and says: “I have wanted to give you this thing for so long, but I couldn’t give it to you because of...”. Here you need to come up with a funny reason, for example, “I myself was sorry to part with this item” or “this thing cost a fortune.”

Then the presenter blindly pulls out a gift and hands it to the guest. After this, the person who received the gift takes the bag and makes a speech for his neighbor on the left. The more ridiculous the reason why the gift was not given, the merrier.

For adults

Competitions for adults require the use of strong drinks. However, there is also fun non-alcoholic entertainment.

Drink and snack

Guests are given two pieces of paper. One sticker says “drink”, the other says “snack”. Everyone must supplement the first piece of paper with an object from which to drink, for example: “Drink from the palm of the neighbor on the right” or “drink from the pan.”

On the second piece of paper, guests write what the person will have as a snack: “salt”, “sniff with hair”. The stickers are then placed in two hats or boxes and taken turns being pulled blindly.

Kinosecret

An A4 sheet is hung on the wall. One person names another character from any New Year's movie and hands a marker. The player will have to explain to the guests who they wished for him using a drawing. Artistic skills do not play any role here. The one who guessed the hero first becomes the explainer, as in the famous game “Crocodile”.

Festive cocktail

For this game, the participant is blindfolded with thick cloth. After a person “loses his sight,” one of the guests prepares a cocktail for him from any drinks that are on the table. The miracle potion is then given to the player to try. He must determine what components his New Year's cocktail consists of.

Guests write down his result, for example, “Igor - guessed 3 out of 5.” Then the same thing is done with the next participant. The one who correctly names all the ingredients wins. The current prize in this competition will be a hangover pill.

For a group of adults who don't drink, you can hold a similar competition, in which instead of a cocktail, the participants are given a sandwich. It can include any food that is on the table.

We are holding a lottery

The main condition for the lottery for the New Year 2019 is that it is win-win. On this holiday, everyone should go home with gifts and a good mood. Therefore, you need to know the exact number of guests in advance. Just in case, you can prepare two or three more presents.

You have to prepare not only gifts, but also lottery tickets. Since the year of the pig is coming, you can download a funny image of a pig from the Internet and print out many copies of it. Place numbers on the pictures according to the number of participants.

You can simply hand over tickets to guests before the start of the party. But it’s more interesting if you show your imagination. For example, attach pictures with numbers under the chairs. If the company is small, then you can call guests one by one to the center of the hall and ask them to sing a song, tell a poem or an anecdote. As a reward for the action, the person dips his hand into the ticket hat and pulls out his lucky pig.

Any little thing can be used as prizes - from a pin to a chocolate bar. It will be very funny if you accompany the presentation of a gift with a comic couplet. For example: “To be like in the picture all year round, get ascorbic acid!”

For schoolchildren

Competitions for schoolchildren are suitable for students of any age. Both fifth-graders and graduates usually enjoy running and jumping.

Whoever managed it sat down

The chair game is a timeless classic for schoolchildren. Before the entertainment begins, count the number of participants. Chairs must be placed one number less. Children run around them to cheerful New Year's music. As soon as the melody turns off, the guys must sit on the chairs. The one who does not have enough space is eliminated. Even though this game has been around for many years, it always causes a lot of excitement among teenagers.

Jump into the new year

The competition is based on an old German tradition. On New Year's Eve in Germany it is customary to stand on a chair and jump from it. It is believed that the further you jump, the happier you will be over the next 12 months. To avoid injury, you can avoid using chairs. The one who jumps the furthest from a standing position wins.

Hand to hand

All players are divided into pairs. The presenter turns on fiery music, to which the guys begin to jump and dance. During the fun, all couples must separate and mix. Then the music stops abruptly, the presenter shouts: “Hand to hand!” Everyone must quickly find their partner and touch hands. Whoever is last is eliminated. In each round, the presenter gives different tasks: “Heel to heel”, “forehead to forehead”.

For the New Year 2019, the game can be made more difficult. To do this, you will need themed items, such as snowflakes made of cardboard, toy piglets, and candies in the form of Santa Claus. They must be placed in the room where the holiday is taking place. In the next round, the presenter announces: “Snowflake to snowflake,” after which everyone must take a snowflake and touch them. The last one to find the item is eliminated.

For young people

Below are several cool competitions that are perfect for celebrating the New Year in the company of young people.

Unloading the Christmas tree

Two volunteers are selected who will have to remove candies from the Christmas trees with their eyes closed. And all the other guests act as the New Year's tree. They are lined up and candy is attached to each one. You can do this using clothespins. Participants are blindfolded, given a basket and taken to different ends of the “guest tree.” On command, players begin by touch to remove candy from people and put it in their basket. The competition ends when the participants collide with each other in the middle. Whoever has the most candies wins.

Firecrackers and girls

At the beginning of the holiday, all the boys are given a cracker. Then the rules of the competition are announced. Throughout the evening, each guy must "blow up" his firecracker without warning. And the girls, hearing the next “bang-bang,” jump into the arms of any young man standing next to them. Anyone who gets confused or forgets about the competition will have to complete some fun task from the guests.

Tangerines of Friendship

The guests are divided into two teams and lined up. You need to prepare two bowls of tangerines and two large empty plates. The first participant takes the tangerine with his teeth and passes it to the other person’s mouth. The last player must place the tangerine on the plate. You can't help yourself with your hands. The team that manages to collect the most citrus fruits in two minutes wins. Don't forget to wash the tangerines before the competition.

For a corporate event

Competitions for corporate parties include both outdoor games and entertainment that can be arranged without leaving the table.

Decorating the Christmas tree

Participants in the competition will have to blindly decorate a Christmas tree. But before you hang the toy on the tree, you still need to find it. Everyone who wants to is taken to the center and given a piece of jewelry. Then the guests are blindfolded and forced to spin around their axis several times.

After this, everyone begins to move forward until they come across some object or living person. The participant must hang his toy on the obstacle he encounters. The winner is the one who is lucky enough to stumble upon the Christmas tree. During the movement, you cannot change its direction. Another prize is given to the player who “found” the most original place for his toy.

Dance Marathon

For this competition we will have to select several diverse musical cuts. Participants are divided into pairs. Each of them will have to perform a dance to music that absolutely does not correspond to it. For example, the presenter announces: “The first couple is dancing Lezginka.” And the song “The color of mood is blue” sounds.

The more inappropriate dance and music turn out to be for each other, the merrier. As tasks, you can recall ancient genres such as minuet and waltz.

Promises

Everyone is given stickers on which guests write three things they will definitely do in the coming year. These leaves are then rolled up and thrown into the hat, where they are mixed. After that, each guest blindly draws a promise and reads it out loud. Funny coincidences cannot be avoided.

You can complicate the entertainment so that the one who reads “his” promise guesses who it actually belongs to.

Funny competitions

In the entertainment presented below, everyone will be able to show their artistry and imagination. All competitions are aimed at making others laugh and having a good laugh.

New Year's crocodile

To play the festive crocodile, you need to prepare a lot of stickers with the names of New Year's films. For example, “Love Actually”, “Irony of Fate”, “Carnival Night”. The first player draws a piece of paper at random. The participant must perform such a pantomime so that the other guests can guess the name of the film.

The first person to name the correct answer is the next to draw a leaf from the hat. At the end, you can give out a prize for the most artistic performance.

Snowman T-shirt

Prepare three large men's T-shirts. Before the start of the holiday, they need to be rolled up and put in the freezer. Select three men to participate in the competition. They get to wear these T-shirts. Whoever does it the fastest wins. Considering the condition the T-shirts will be in when they come out of the freezer, it won't be an easy task.

Read my lips

Two players are given a pair of headphones that play music. The volume should be at such a level that people cannot hear each other. Then one player is given cards with questions about the holiday. For example: “How much do you usually drink on New Year’s Eve?” or “What do you like to do on the first of January?”

The second participant should try to understand the question being asked and answer it as accurately as possible. After a few minutes, the question cards are passed to the other pair of players. Those who answer the most questions correctly win.

For relaxed guests

Not every company likes noisy or active competitions. The next three entertainments are just for those who like calm but fun games.

Funny fortune telling

On pieces of paper, guests write questions about what awaits them in the coming year. The stickers are then rolled up and thrown into the hat. After this, guests are given new pieces of paper on which they need to write answers, for example: “this will definitely happen” or “you’ll have to wait another year.” They are thrown into another hat.

Guests take turns pulling leaves from first one, then from another headdress and read out what they came across. The more creative the questions and answers, the merrier.

Chrismas story

During this entertainment, guests will feel like real writers. Everyone is given 8-10 pieces of paper on which they need to write different words.

Half of them should be related to the New Year, and the other part should be an unlimited flight of fancy. Then all the leaves are placed in a hat and mixed thoroughly.

The first participant pulls out two or three pieces of paper. He says: “One New Year’s Eve...”. And then he needs to come up with the beginning of a story using the words that he came across.

Intellectual fun games for the New Year for adults

"NEW YEAR'S TOASTS"

New Year's Eve is in full swing, all wishes have already been made, wishes have been voiced, but simply drinking and eating is not interesting. Then invite the guests to fill their glasses and take turns making a New Year's toast, but not just a wish, but with one condition. Phrases of congratulations should begin in alphabetical order.

Eg:

• A – Absolutely happy to raise a glass to the New Year!
• B – Be careful, the New Year is coming!
• B - Let's drink to our ladies!
• G – The Year of the Horse is coming – HURRAY!

Particular fun, due to the confusion of the participants, ensues when the game reaches such letters of the alphabet as G, E, ZH, S, ь, Ъ. You can combine this competition with the game of cities: when the congratulations should begin with the last letter of the previous toast. In this case, the guests are interested not only in coming up with a toast with a given letter, but also in causing trouble for the next participant in the feast.

For example:

• A – Is it hard for you to drink to the Snow Maiden?
• U - Let's have a glass for the New Year!
• D - Long live the fun!
• E - By God I’ll get drunk if we don’t get enough!

Funny contests for the New Year:
"TV PROGRAM"

Having grabbed the festive dishes, the guests, groaning with pleasure, fell apart and were unable to have fun and dance? Try motivating them with a still but fun game: TV Guide.

Before the competition starts, you will need to prepare several cards. It is desirable that there be more of them - this competition is fascinating, it is one of the most popular at holiday parties. On each card, write five or six completely unrelated words.

Eg:

• 1. Vodka, president, stapler, hand, door;
• 2. Santa Claus, rubber, herring, medicine, barrier;
• 3. New Year, album, beaver, flu, chess;
• 4. China, sombrero, dog, car, plastic.

Participants draw cards and read their contents (but not out loud). Then you give participants about thirty seconds to come up with just one sentence - hot news about an event that supposedly happened in the world on New Year's Eve. Moreover, this sentence must fit all the words from the card - all important information about the incident. The words on the cards can be inflected in any way you like, turning them into any parts of speech.

Eg:

“On New Year’s Day, a rare breed of beaver, a checkered beaver, fell ill with the album flu at the capital’s zoo.”

A good mood for your company is guaranteed!

"MSS"

The party host selects two volunteers and announces to them that it is time to finally decipher the secret acronym MCC. At the same time, the rest of the company already knows that MCC means “my neighbor on the right.”

The two “chosen ones” are placed in the middle of the circle of participants, and they each take turns asking leading questions, trying to unravel the abbreviation. Questions of this type are allowed: “what size”, “what color”, “is it here”, “what does it look like”, “what does it smell like”, and so on. And those who answer must give answers, each in relation to his neighbor on the right.

There is no point in delaying the game for too long - if the solution is still not found, after about twenty minutes, reveal the secret of the MSS to the poor fellows and eat defeat with a cake, raising a toast: “To your intelligence.”

COMPETITION "MATERNITY HOUSE"

Choose two tipsy participants who will play the roles of wife and husband. For extra fun, you can swap the roles of a man and a woman: he is a wife who has just given birth, she is a happy husband who managed to celebrate the good news.

The husband’s task is to ask his wife in detail about the child: what gender, who he looks like, how the birth went... The more unexpected and varied the questions, the more interesting the game. The wife’s task is to answer her husband’s questions with signs, since the thick glass in the hospital room does not allow sounds to pass out at all. It is not at all necessary to figure out the answer; it will be hilarious to just watch what gestures the wife will use to explain the situation to her dull husband.

New Year, competitions:
"GUESS"

For this game you need to distribute paper and pens to the participants. Let each of them write something about themselves that is little known to the people sitting at the table. Then these notes need to be rolled up and placed in a box or basket. As you pull out these revelations one by one, read them out loud. And the company must try to guess which of those present are being talked about, who is the author of this statement.

"CROCODILE"

This is a very famous and quite popular game. Let the participants divide into two teams. The first team's task is to come up with some clever word and tell it in confidence to one of the players on the opposing team. The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, using only facial expressions, gestures and plasticity, doing this in such a way that the members of his team can guess what kind of word was intended. Considering that these are competitions for adults for the New Year, the word can be anything, which means the demonstration process is incredibly funny. When the guessing is successfully completed, the teams change roles, and, I assure you, “revenge” will be even more hilarious. After some practice, the game can be complicated by guessing not words, but entire phrases.

New Year games for adults:
NEW YEAR'S "TURNIP"

Some of the guests are already having difficulty remembering the last letter of the alphabet - it’s time to shake them up and force them to practice their artistry. The "Turnip" competition is time-tested, and despite its apparent simplicity, it is an excellent New Year's pastime - fun is guaranteed!
The number of participants in the competition is the number of characters in the well-known fairy tale “Turnip”, and one presenter. New actors will need to thoroughly memorize and rehearse the text of their role:

turnip- alternately slapping his palms on his knees, then clapping his hands, saying at the same time: “Opa-na!”

Dedka- rubs his hands, saying: “Tek-s.”

Grandma- constantly shakes his fist at his grandfather, saying: “I would kill the bastard!”

Granddaughter– he twitches his shoulders coquettishly, saying “I’m ready.” To enhance the effect, we advise you to choose a man of impressive size for the role of your granddaughter.

Bug- every time he scratches behind his ear, saying: “I got the fleas!”

Cat– she says: “And I’m on my own,” swaying her hips.

Mouse– shaking his head, he says sadly: “We’ve finished!”

The actors’ task is to immediately play their role whenever their hero is mentioned by the presenter, who is reading the classic text of the fairy tale.

It looks something like this:

“Dedka (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Opa-na”). Turnip (“Whoops!”) grew big and big. Dedka (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Opa-na!”). Grandfather pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Then Grandfather called (“Tek-s”) Grandma (“I would kill the bastard!”)…” etc.

The greatest fun begins when it comes to the words: “Grandpa for Turnip, Grandma for Dedka...” Explosions of uncontrollable laughter and a great mood are guaranteed! If you don't believe me, see for yourself!

Competitions for adults for the New Year:
"Drunk Checkers"

Such New Year games for adults are suitable for real intellectuals who prefer to drink with special pleasure. To do this, they use a real checkers board, and instead of pieces - glasses of wine. White wine is poured into the glass on one side and red wine on the other.

New Year games for adults:
“What do you like about the neighbor on the left?”

As you probably already guessed, each participant will need to tell what he likes about the neighbor who is sitting on the left. To do this, everyone sits in a circle and expresses funny thoughts about their friend. When all the guests voice these intimate details, a surprise awaits them: the host will joyfully announce that since such sympathy is sincere, now everyone will have to kiss their neighbor on the left in the very place that they liked the most.

Competitions for adults for the New Year:
"HIT THE TARGET!"

This competition is mainly for men, but not necessarily. For the competition you will need: empty bottles, rope (about half a meter long for each participant), and pens or pencils.

Each participant has a rope attached to the waistband of his trousers, with a pencil or pen tied at the other end. Empty bottles are placed on the floor in front of the participants - each with their own. The task is to hit the bottle with a handle on a rope. The competition is time-tested - bursting laughter and fun are guaranteed.

New Year competitions:
"PRINCESS ON THE PEA"

The competition is primarily for women. The participants are positioned facing the audience and with their backs to the chairs behind each one. The presenter places a small object (apple, caramel, pencil, pine cone...) on each chair so that the participants do not see it. On command, the Princesses sit on chairs and, by touch, try to determine what kind of object this is. Peering and touching with hands is prohibited. You can also guess the number of identical objects placed on a chair and count them. The winner is the one who identifies the item first. And the last one, or the participants who failed to complete the task, are given a punishment at the discretion of the winner.

Competitions for adults for the New Year:
“WHO HAS LONGER?”

Of course, such games for the New Year for adults are carried out only in very close, intimate companies and, as a rule, fairly tipsy people. Two teams of participants are formed, each of which must lay out the longest chain of their own clothes, while taking off whatever they want. Of course, the team with the longest chain will win.

New Year, competition:
"SURPRISE"

You need to prepare for the competition in advance. You need to take the most ordinary balloons. Write fun tasks on pieces of paper. Roll up the notes and put them inside the ball, then inflate it. The player bursts the ball he has chosen, without using his hands, and is sure to complete the task!

The task can be anything - it all depends on your imagination. Eg:

• 1. Depict the fight of the New Year's Chimes.
• 2. Stand on a chair and tell the whole world that Santa Claus is coming.
• 3. Dance rock and roll.
• 4. Eat a few sugar-free lemon drops with a happy face.
• 5. Guess the riddle.

Funny contests for the New Year:
"GUESS A RIDDLE"

For this competition, like the previous one, you need to prepare in advance. Take the most ordinary balloons. But write funny riddles in your notes. Roll up the notes and put them inside the ball, then inflate it. The player pops the ball he has chosen, without using his hands, and guesses the riddle. More precisely, he doesn’t guess, and performs some task as punishment.

Providing a company with riddles that are impossible to solve is not at all difficult. Here's an example:

• 1. There are two women at the fence: one is glued, the other is sewn... What should be done with them?

(Answer: tear off one, flog the other).

• 2. With eggs and onions, not a pie?

(Answer: Robin Hood).

• 3. What is it: blue gold?

(Answer: my beloved got drunk.)

• 4. What does 90/60/90 mean?

(Answer: traffic cop speed.)

• 5. What is this: sitting on the ceiling and chewing on a light bulb?

(Answer: Ceiling Lampgnawer.)

You can create a lot of such riddles; they themselves will lift your spirits, as will the answer options that all the guests, without exception, will probably try to come up with. And to make your task easier and not add any hassle to your New Year’s preparations, you can use our collection of funny riddles for adults:

Fun competitions for the New Year:
"NEW YEAR'S MASQUERADE"

The bag is filled in advance with various funny clothes (national hats, underwear, stockings or tights, swimsuits, bows, scarves, diapers for adults, etc.). A DJ is selected from among the guests. The DJ's task is to turn the music on and off, but at different intervals and unexpectedly for others.

When the music plays, the participants pass the bag to each other in the dance. As soon as the music stops, stop the game. The one who still has the bag in his hands at this moment must, without peeking, pull out one thing and put it on himself. The game continues until the bag is completely empty. As a result, everyone looks very funny, especially the men in bikinis over trousers.
