How to have fun in the new year. How to arrange New Year's Eve at home?! Win-win New Year's lottery

By and large, before the New Year 2017 there is still enough time for a variety of preparatory work, but it is best to start thinking through some points in advance. This applies to entertainment, because without a fun pastime, any feast will be dull, even with good alcohol. But here an urgent question immediately arises: how to entertain guests on New Year 2017 in a new way?

Basic information

Before you think about the choice of how to cheer up the guests on New Year's Eve, you should initially think about who will be on it. Agree, it’s somehow out of place to hold stripping contests in front of your parents or invite a stripper to dinner with your wife by candlelight. That is why it is worthwhile to thoroughly approach the choice of appropriate entertainment for such an occasion, so that they are most suitable for any circle of guests.

Wipe the napkin

To hold such a competition, you will need several couples at once, and it is desirable that at this time the guests are already a little tipsy - it will be funnier. It is best to choose as many willing couples as possible and it will be good if these couples are not in reality. The essence of the competition is very simple - high chairs are placed in a row, on which young people should sit. Now on their knees
laid out the most ordinary paper napkins. Next, girls should sit down on such an original bed, who, to the music, will have to start a very entertaining business: fidgeting on the knees of the guys so that the napkin is torn, or at least it is very wrinkled. After a certain period of time, the music stops, and all the guests look at which of the girls most wanted to win in the marked competition. The winner of the competition is chosen according to the maximum wear of the napkin and the appearance of the man on whose hands all this action took place.

Friendly advice: you should not choose those applicants for the competition who have too jealous guys or girls. You don't need a scandal on New Year's Eve, do you?

Sweet candy

To conduct such a competition, several pairs will also be required. In this case, each of the participants will initially have to tie their hands. Now the couples become facing each other, and in the middle a chair is installed between them, on which lies a slide of sweets. At the signal of the facilitator, each pair should, with the help of lips alone, untie together as much as possible large quantity sweets and eat them. At the same time, it is important that each of the sweets be divided among the participants in a brotherly way - equally.

Such a competition turns out to be very lively and energetic, and often after it new couples are obtained.

Ladies First!

The two most daring girls take part in the marked competition. The essence of the competition is very simple: both girls must think of a number from 1 to 10 and say it out loud. Now each of the ladies will have to take off the number of things that they wished for, to the frank music. It is worth noting that in this case jewelry, shoes and even false eyelashes will be counted. If some of the charmers turn out to be too shy, they can call for help from any other person who decides to “bare” as support.

A bag with presents

All guests can take part in the marked competition. To conduct it, it is necessary that they all stand in a circle, in the center of which there will be a host or Santa Claus himself with gifts. True, no one knows exactly what gifts are in this bag, of course, with the exception of the presenter himself. Next, incendiary New Year's music is turned on, to which everyone should begin to move in one direction in a circle. At the same time, the presenter hands a bag with gifts to one of the participants, who must pass it to another, and so on, until the music ends. At this moment, the person in whose hands the bag ended up is out of the game. True, along with a gift from the bag, which the host takes from there. According to the terms of the game, the eliminated participant must put on his gift and stay in it until the game is completely over.

Corporate toast

A very funny contest, in which all participants also take part. To do this, it is necessary that each of those present say a toast, and not a simple one, but a poetic one. Santa Claus or the host of the evening begins to say a toast, and all participants continue it until the fantasy ends. The one who hesitated in drawing up a toast will be the loser - he will have to drink. The competition continues until one person remains alone with Santa Claus - I dress him in the Snow Maiden. Both characters must dance an incendiary dance to the delight of all guests.

guess who

For the next competition, you will need to prepare a little. It is worthwhile to create small paper crowns in advance, on which it should be written who the crowned person is. At the beginning of the competition, such crowns are worn by the host for each player, and then they need to guess in turn what the word is written on the crown. There is a small nuance: all those present, in addition to the most crowned individual, can answer any questions with “yes” or “no”.

Tip: for the game, it is better to select those words that are directly related to the celebration of the New Year 2017.

Christmas tree

For the next New Year's competition, couples are required: a guy and a girl. One of them must decide what will represent the role of the Christmas tree. After that, the partner is blindfolded, and a variety of New Year's tinsel is attached to the "Christmas tree" itself, which usually has a place on a traditional holiday tree. The essence of the competition is as follows: as soon as the music turns on, the partners of the finished "Christmas trees" must, as soon as possible, find all the New Year's paraphernalia on the "tree" and remove it. Of course, you can only use your hands for this. Believe me, for a drunken company with a great mood, such a competition will be very pleasant.

The noted examples of competitions for the New Year 2017 are an approximate list of how exactly you can cheer up the company at the time of the New Year's feast. Be a little creative and come up with your own, no less interesting and funny games that will help people relax and have a good time with their friends. Happy holiday!

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

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

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

It is better to come up with contests 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 known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game loved 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 hold games and contests with simple rules and minimum 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 the bags. The facilitator takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what happened with a similar item, and the like. He says it is necessary so that the guessers suffer a little, and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses receives the item, and 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 coal, put on a barbecue ... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.

I am a moon rover

To participate in this game, you can already accept a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets on all fours and, moving on four bones, quite seriously says: “I am one lunar rover, peak-peak I start the reception ...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes moon rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes moon rovers, and the one who does not laugh wins. The lunar rover's phrase can be expanded: "... going 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., from A, and further alphabetically, 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 very funny phrases get :).

"Mummy"

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

A la towns

In the open air, while, for example, barbecues are being prepared, children get under their feet, and adults have not lost coordination, the whole company can play a simplified version of towns. To do this, around the district you need to collect approximately the same firewood and one stick, which will serve as a bat. A circle is drawn on the ground, firewood is laid out in any form (like a pioneer fire or a well), and each participant (having been distracted for a while from the case) knocks out as many firewood from the circle as possible from a certain distance. And it’s not so easy and you won’t do it the first time. If you replace the bat with a ball, you get something a la bowling.

Zoo

The zoo is played only once in a lifetime, then it is no longer interesting. If it so happens that there are no such lucky people in your company or there are few of them, you will have great fun. The host says the name of the animal in everyone's ear. Then everyone stands in a circle and firmly take each other's arms. The host calls the animal. For example: "Which one of you is a crocodile?" And the crocodile should sit down sharply, and non-crocodiles should hold it. Then they call the monkey. The same thing happens. But with the third click, the main thing happens. After the question: “Which of you is a hippopotamus?”, Everyone falls together on the ground, and realizing that they have been cheated, they laugh. Because the trick of this game is that all but one or two participants get the same name of the animal.

"Seventh heaven".

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

"Bridge".

Test for coordination of movements. Participants alternately need to go in a straight line, never leaving it. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path it is necessary to perform a simple movement: right hand for the left ear, make 3 circles around its 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: to transfer the ball from one canvas to another without dropping it.

"Reindeer Harnesses".

The task is to divide into pairs to overcome the distance. ½ of the distance, the couple goes around the cones, in the next position - the first player stands on his hands, the second holds his legs. At the last cone, the players change places. Thus, the distance is covered by all participants.

"Snowballs".

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

What other outdoor activities can be in nature?

Take snow town, rolling downhill and making a snowman

Kindling a fire, festive decoration of a Christmas tree with improvised materials

Sledding, skiing, ice skating

Snowmobiling

Sky lantern launch

Soap bubble generator (in winter they freeze and become patterned like on windows)

Flappers, boom fetti.

Meat on a spit, barbecue

Hot mulled wine in Samovar or in thermoses

Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.

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

Games, competitions and fun make the usual New Year at home unforgettable. Impressions filled with laughter last a long time. Further, professional entertainer Zakhar Sokhatsky shares his recipes for a cheerful homemade New Year:

The first thing you can do to get in a good mood is to drastically turn off the TV. As a maximum, listen to the chimes, and after draining the glasses, press the red button on the TV remote control. After all last years New Year's Eve on television was a failure, and it is unlikely that anything will change this time.

It is much better to have fun talking to each other, play something, lose your seriousness for one New Year's Eve.

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

Puzzle the guests in advance: ask everyone to prepare some kind of surprise. For example, anyone can learn a trick with cards or matches, or something else easy, relaxed, to draw in. But do not demonstrate everything at once, but at some interval. Let this homemade theme run like a red thread through your holiday.

Also ask each guest to bring some kind of wish in an envelope, which will go to one of the other guests. All envelopes are mixed, each person who makes a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be calculated both for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about a Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink, for example, a glass of cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee in one gulp), and for the entire current year (to marry, 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 together for a short time to go out into the yard - just shout, relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what Japanese workaholics do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thrown off the negative of the last year in this way, we return to the heat, to the already set table. By the way, what's on the table? A good new year is in the Russian folk style or with classic "Soviet traditions", but if this is already "pall", the "ethnic" approach will help to make the New Year's table more original. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentinean or other little-known cuisines. It is not difficult to do this - there are a lot of culinary guides now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the "arsenal" of the hostess for the future. For guests, the "ethnic table" will give completely new sensations, which is fully consistent with 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 that each guest or family will prepare some kind of “ethnic” dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.

Then I can offer to play "Yudashkin". Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams, they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a slender build, so that there is more flight for fantasy. Each team dresses the girl in the most funny way in 3-4 minutes, puts everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. Dressed, appreciated, 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 got to know the house where everything is happening – it's time to play “tax inspector”. We choose two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are definitely in the apartment. Usually children take part in the game with pleasure. The team that will lay down more items at the feet of a stern taxman wins.

No matter how well the holiday goes, try sometimes to remember the inevitability of the morning. Morning, most likely, will come on the evening of January 1. If the guests have not left before going to bed, you can cheer them up a little, for example, agree in advance: whoever drank the most will organize outdoor exercises for everyone. Harsh, but invigorating, brings back to life. You can lay some other intrigue in the evening: for example, a social load (going to the store) on the least drunk - so that no one wants to be this "lucky one". It is advisable to lay the program for the "morning" in advance. But whether you can fulfill it is up to you.

Happy New Year to you!

Instruction

Invite guests to the celebration a couple of hours before midnight, if you start earlier, many will get tired and won’t stay until the clock strikes on the Spasskaya Tower. Do not hesitate to ask friends for help, because in addition to organizing fun and entertainment, you also festive table. Sketch out a plan for how the evening will go. If the guests do not know each other, introduce them to each other in a joking manner.

When the guests have gathered, do not rush to immediately show them all the salads that you have prepared. First, hold a small competition, the purpose of which will be to appoint each guest to a responsible position. For example, write notes with the names of the characters on pieces of paper, hide them in chocolate egg cases and hang them on strings. Guests will have to cut the thread with scissors with their eyes closed. So you can choose the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus, the symbol of the coming year (2012 is the year of the dragon), the villain Baba Yaga and other characters. It does not matter that the two-meter Vasily will become Thumbelina, the main thing is that the role is harmless. Each of the guests must stick to their role throughout the evening.

Closer to twelve o'clock, make sure that the champagne is ready, select a TV channel on which you will listen to the chiming clock and, possibly, the president's speech. Don't forget your wish while the clock strikes twelve. In the first minutes of the New Year, congratulate all those present, and the chosen Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden can give gifts to everyone. If there are sites near the house where fireworks can be lit, go there with the guests, only. Remember that pyrotechnics can be used in strictly designated areas in compliance with all safety rules.

When the New Year has come, but you don’t feel like watching television shows, arrange contests. They should be simple and fun, buy prizes with the funds of the general holiday budget. As a competition, you can guess songs, movies. The game of forfeits is also good, when each of the guests performs simple tasks.

On New Year's Eve, various predictions are good and appropriate. Write comic prophecies on pieces of paper, wrap them up, and invite your friends to draw out their own. If desired, the prediction can be tied with a ribbon to a Christmas cookie or Christmas tree toy. Come up with good prophecies so that pleasant words remained in everyone's mind.

At the end of the evening, dances can be arranged for the most persistent. Neighbors are unlikely to be against loud music, because such a night happens once a year. And, of course, make sure that the friends who stayed overnight are comfortably accommodated for the duration of sleep, and those who went home arrive safely.

Not far off is the time when the hot sun will be replaced by severe cold. This means that literally in a few months the question of preparing for the New Year will no longer be so far away. In addition to choosing the appropriate outfit and a list of festive dishes, competitions for the gathering company are an important activity. After all, it is impossible to sit all night at the table, eating various goodies and watching Blue Light. And since most of the various holiday fun has long been known to everyone, it’s worth coming up with some new entertainment for guests for the New Year 2018.

Highlights

Before the start of New Year's Eve, you should take care of preparing a whole list of elements necessary for its competitive part:

  • a huge number of balloons;
  • felt boots;
  • small souvenirs in honor of the coming Year of the Dog;
  • stickers and regular paper sheets;
  • sparklers, firecrackers and fireworks;
  • sweets, fruits;
  • plastic cups;
  • markers, felt-tip pens, pens and pencils;
  • blanks of tongue twisters, poems, New Year's songs and ditties.

When all the "details" are collected, you can begin a truly unforgettable celebration.

Family fun

The following list of New Year's games is most suitable for holding among relatives and friends.

  1. Forest tree or fairy

One participant of the marked competition will have to stand on a chair and try to demonstrate the Christmas tree in their favorite ways. Two more will decorate the New Year's tree, but not with toys familiar to everyone, but with those elements that come to hand. The one whose efforts will look more elegant and beautiful will win the competition.

A small clarification: it is allowed to use any elements of the wardrobe or jewelry of the guests gathered at the table (cufflinks, hairpins, necklaces, ties, scarves, etc.).

  1. clockwork caterpillar

The participants of the next competition line up like a train, holding the neighbor's waist. Further, the host of the game begins to tell that in front of the gaze of the audience there is a trained caterpillar trained to carry out any commands. For example, it is not at all difficult for her to dance, raise her paws one by one, and at the command to “sleep” fall to her side, tuck her paws under her and fall asleep under terrible snoring. The turn of the demonstration of skills comes: to the groovy music, the Caterpillar begins to perform what the presenter had previously told about. Competitors should try to demonstrate the announced commands synchronously and as believably as possible. Believe me, laughter from such fun will be worth it.

  1. Festive drawing

Two volunteers are needed for the next competition. Their hands are tied and placed near a stand with a blank sheet. Using only the strength of the teeth and the agility of the head, you will have to draw a symbol of the upcoming 2018 - the Dog.

Entertainment for an adult company

There are such types of New Year's contests that cause a proper wave of emotions only after a few "successful" toasts. In a word, it is better to see once.

  1. Money box

Initially, all the guests gathered at the table choose a leader. The newly-made festive "master of ceremonies" is looking for some kind of container for himself, preferably opaque, and having let it go in a circle, asks to fill the jar with money - as much as he can. Next, the leader needs to go to another room and calculate the "profitability" of the work done. Guests will have to try to guess how much money is in the piggy bank. The one whose answer was as accurate as possible gets the entire “bank” at his disposal.

  1. funny adjectives

On the eve of the holiday, the hostess of the event will need to prepare for the marked competition. On small sheets of cardboard, write the following adjectives:

  • stingy;
  • loud;
  • harmful;
  • wonderful;
  • unnecessary;
  • ardent;
  • tasty;
  • wet;
  • slippery;
  • heroic;
  • banana;
  • drunk.

All papers are placed in some container. At the beginning of the competition, each guest should pull out one of the pieces of paper, and then take turns pronouncing the received word when the host begins to read the next text.

Hello my (stingy) friends! In that (loud) evening, I'm with my (harmful) granddaughter Snegurochka I send to all of you (wonderful) hello and heartfelt congratulations on the upcoming year of the Dog. 2017 turned out to be for most of you (unnecessary) and (ardent) time, but do not despair - 2018 promises to be more (delicious) and (wet). At this solemn moment, I want to wish you (slippery) health, (heroic) happiness and (banana) gifts. your sincerity, (drunk) Father Frost!

Of course, the text attached here is only a sample. In reality, all adjectives can be placed quite differently. In any case, the final result will thoroughly amuse the whole company.
