"Snow Mission"
For this game, you can use a small ball or make a “snowball” out of cotton wool. The participants of the game stand in a circle and pass the “snowball” around the circle. At the same time they say:
We're all rolling a snowball,
We all count to five.
One two three four five -
Sing a song for you!
Whoever has a “snowball” on the last phrase fulfills this wish. The last phrase can be changed: “And read poetry to you!”, “Let’s dance for you!”, “Tell you a fairy tale!” and so on.
"Anecdote "with a beard""
The contestants take turns telling jokes. If one of those present knows the continuation, the narrator is given a “beard”, which is replaced by a piece of cotton wool. The one who ends up with fewer pieces of cotton wool wins.
"Cooking Competition"
Within a certain time (for example, 5 minutes), the participants in the game must create a New Year's menu. All dishes in it must begin with the letter "N" (New Year). Dishes on the menu for Father Frost must begin with the letter "M", and for the Snow Maiden - with the letter "S". The one with the largest menu wins.
“I’ll sing now!”
On New Year's Day, it is customary to sing songs and dance around the Christmas tree. But this activity can be diversified. For example, when the presenter claps, everyone begins to sing the famous song “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter...”. At the second clap, singing aloud stops, but all participants in the game continue to sing to themselves. On the third clap, everyone starts singing out loud again. The one who enters incorrectly is eliminated.
"Fairy tale character"
Cards are laid out on the table with the names of fairy-tale characters and cartoon characters written on them (with the inscriptions facing down). The participant in the game pulls out any card and, after reading what is written there, must, using facial expressions, gestures, and characteristic sounds, portray this character so that those present understand who they are talking about. The first person to guess pulls out the next card.
"Cinderella"
The game involves two people. Each participant is blindfolded and asked to disassemble his own slide, in which peas, beans, lentils, and dried rowan are mixed (the ingredients can be changed depending on what is in the house). Blindfolded participants sort the fruits into groups. The one who completes the task first wins.
"Mystery Prize"
A small gift (notebook, pen, etc.) is wrapped in paper, onto which a piece of paper with a riddle is glued. Once again they wrap it in paper and again glue the piece of paper with the riddle on it. There can be any number of such layers, it all depends on the number of players. The participant unfolds one layer of paper, reads the riddle to himself and says the answer out loud. Then he unfolds the next layer, reads the riddle again to himself and says the answer. If he doesn't know the answer, he reads the riddle out loud. The first one to solve this riddle unrolls the next layer of paper. The winner is the one who solves the last riddle, will get to the gift.
"Mobile phone"
Participants in the game name the numbers in order. Those who get the number 5 or its multiples say “ding-ding.” Those who get the number 7 and its multiples say “ding-diling.” The one who makes a mistake is eliminated from the game.
"Choose a prize!"
Various gifts wrapped in little bags are attached to a long rope. The participant in the game is blindfolded and given scissors. He must cut some gift, which he gets.
"Slipper for Cinderella"
Participants in the game put their shoes in a pile and blindfold themselves. The presenter mixes the shoes into a pile and gives the command: “Find your shoe!” Blindfolded participants need to find their pair of shoes and put on their shoes. Whoever completes the task faster wins.
"Toropyzhki"
For this competition you will need sweet jelly or, for example, halva. The winner is the one who eats the portion offered to him the fastest using a toothpick.
"The Harvesters"
The participants of the game are divided into 2 teams. The task of each team is to move as many oranges or tangerines as possible to a certain place without using their hands in a certain time (for example, 10 minutes).
"Riddles"
Each participant in the game has a piece of paper attached to their back with the name of an animal, object, etc. (for example, an elephant, a pen, a pear, an airplane), but so that the players do not know what is written on their pieces of paper. But they can read what is written on others' backs. Participants in the game must ask each other leading questions to find out what is written on their backs. The answers can only be “yes” or “no”. The one who guesses his “name” first is the winner. The game is played until the last person guesses correctly. Everyone receives incentive prizes.
"Sculptors"
This competition is best held outdoors. The presenter names a letter, and the competition participants must fashion any thing out of snow that begins with this letter. Whoever blinds faster and more reliably wins. You can conduct this competition at home using plasticine.
Tricks
Learn these simple tricks, and on New Year's Eve you will become an unsurpassed magician in the eyes of your guests.
Thread on a jacket
You notice a white thread on your jacket and try to brush it off, but the thread remains on the jacket. Then you grab it by the tip and pull. To your surprise (and the surprise of other people), she continues on. You pull further and further until several meters of thread run out.
The secret of the trick: Before performing a trick, you put a small pencil in the inner pocket of your jacket, onto which several meters of thread are wound from a spool. Use a needle to push the tip of the thread through the fabric of the jacket to the outside. The main thing is that there are no traces left in your pocket after the demonstration of the trick, if particularly vigilant spectators decide to inspect your pockets. That's why the thread is wound around the pencil.
Three glasses and paper
Place two glass glasses on the table at some distance from one another. Place a sheet of paper on top.
Take the third glass in your hands and invite the audience to place it between the two glasses on a sheet of paper so that the paper does not bend. Of course, no one succeeds. Then you demonstrate your “magical” abilities.
The secret of the trick: Fold a sheet of paper like an accordion along the long side, then it can easily support the weight of even a glass cup.
Magic rope
You sit down at a table in front of the audience, show them a rope, put it on the table and say: “I will tie a knot in this rope without using my hands.”
After this, cross your arms over your chest. Taking one end of the rope with your left hand and the other with your right, you spread your arms to the sides. There really was a knot in the rope!
The secret of the trick: There is no special secret here. You just need to take a rope at least 1 meter long. And, of course, carefully rehearse the act in order to be able to grab both ends of the rope from the table.
Magic "patch"
You ask the audience for two coins in denominations of 1 and 5 rubles. Place a 1 ruble coin on a small piece of paper, draw a mark around it with a pencil and then carefully cut out a hole with a diameter equal to this 1 ruble coin. After this, invite the audience to insert a 5-ruble coin into this hole. Nobody has any idea how to do this. Then you can easily solve the proposed problem.
The secret of the trick: Of course, a 5-ruble coin will not fit into such a small hole. But if you bend a piece of paper in half so that the fold line runs through the center of the hole, the hole will turn into a gap. Stretch the paper a little - the diameter of the hole is enough for a coin to slip through it with ease.
Without getting your hands wet
Take a large flat plate, place a coin on it and pour in a small amount of water until it covers the coin. Then ask the audience to take the coin without getting their hands wet.
The secret of the trick: You light a piece of paper and put it in a glass. Then quickly turn the glass over and place it on a plate near the coin. When the paper in the glass burns and goes out, the water from the plate will collect under it, and the coin will end up in a dry place.
Three layouts
Take any 21 cards and arrange them face up into three cards in seven rows. You should end up with three vertical columns of seven cards each. Invite one of the spectators to remember one card and say which column it is in. Carefully, one by one, place the cards in each column into piles, and then all the piles into one pile. In this case, a stack of cards from the column with the selected card must be placed in the middle between the other two. Then turn the stack face down, again arrange the cards in three columns of seven cards each, and again ask the spectator to indicate which column contains the chosen card. Fold the cards into columns and place the indicated column of cards in the middle again. And finally, lay out the cards for the third time and again place the column with the selected card between the other two. Count out ten cards. The eleventh card comes out.
The secret of the trick: the main thing is to always place the column with the hidden card between the other two.
Tricky trick
Take a deck of cards. Invite one of the spectators to choose and remember a card and put it on top of the deck without showing it to you. Then remove the deck and place its lower part on top. Lay out the cards face up and accurately indicate the hidden card.
The secret of the trick: To find the hidden card, we'll use a little trick. Before demonstrating the trick, we remember the lowest card of the deck. Now, when laying out the deck, the hidden card will lie in front of the card that we spied.
Guessed card
You invite four spectators to sit at the table with you. You deal five cards to everyone. After this, the spectators must remember one card each from those in their hands. You collect the cards and lay them out on the table in five piles. Spectators choose one of the piles. You take the cards and fan them out to the audience. Then you ask which of them sees their card. Having received the answer, you accurately indicate the card that they remember.
The secret of the trick: You start collecting cards from the spectator who sits to your left and then go clockwise. Moreover, you collect all five cards at once, and not one at a time. Your cards will be the last to be collected, and they will be at the top of the deck. When you then arrange the cards into five piles, any one of them contains the cards in the order in which the spectators sit at the table. If, for example, a third spectator identifies “his” card, it will be third, counting from the top of the pile, etc.
Kings and ladies
Kings and queens are selected from the deck. You place them in front of the audience in two rows - separately for kings and separately for queens. You stack the cards, placing a stack of kings on top of a stack of queens. The resulting deck of eight cards can be removed by spectators any number of times. Then you hide the cards behind your back, take out two cards and show them to the audience. They see that it is the king and queen of the same suit.
The secret of the trick: Initially, you stack the cards so that the sequence of suits in both decks is the same. Behind your back, you divide the deck into two four-card decks and take the top card from each mini-deck. It will always be the king and queen of the same suit.
Intended number
Invite one of the spectators to think of a number. After this, the spectator must multiply it by 2, then add 8, divide by 2 and subtract the number he has in mind. After a significant pause, you announce that the resulting number is 4.
The secret of the trick: There is no secret, pure mathematics!

It’s not difficult to organize such an event with a “winter” flavor. Here is a description of several available to each family winter fun- some of them can be used outdoors, others - at home.
It is assumed that the initiator of the games is an adult (teacher, circle leader, one of the parents, game leader). Initially, the presenter, using the text written on paper, can recite the words of the poems that precede each of the activities.
As this or that fun is repeated, the text, as a rule, is quickly remembered not only by adults, but also by children. Then the functions of the game leader can be temporarily taken over by one of the children who wants to do this.
To start any game you can do the following.
The presenter says the text:
There is a song: “We love winter days, snowy alleys, skis and skates.” After all, in winter there are a lot of fun things you can play outside when everything around is covered with snow. So today we will try to learn such games so that you can then play them yourself.
Next, the presenter explains the conditions of the games and plays them together with the children. It is advisable to repeat each game several times. Thus, several goals are pursued at once. Firstly, the children remember more clearly the rules of participation in the game and its conduct. Secondly, the facilitator has the opportunity to record the children’s preferences in activities - which game they like more and which is less preferable. You should also find out the reason for the preference. Maybe one game seemed more difficult, another seemed too long, etc.
This will make it possible in the future to be selective about the games that are offered to children for use in class.
In subsequent classes, the role of game leaders can be played by one of the children assigned as a leader. In addition, during classes you don’t have to play all the games at once, but only play one or two of those that the kids especially liked.
1. Game walking “Be the first!”
Here's your first game - remember your names.
The one whose name is called will have to be the very first.
Now we will all go together in one column. I will walk at the head of the column, and you all will follow me. But remember: you need to not only walk, but also listen carefully to whose name I say. When I call someone’s name, the entire column must stop. And the one I name must come and stand in front of me. So he will become the leader of the columns. And then we will begin to move after him.
Progress of the game
The guys line up in a column after the leader and follow her around the site. The presenter calls the first and last name of one of the children. At this moment, the entire column stops, and the named child walks along the column to its head and stands at the beginning of the column, becoming its leader. The game is played several times so that several children can play the role of leader.
2. Game "Running in a circle."
New exercise -
Immediately attention and movement.
Listen to the command, follow it,
But let's not get confused!
So, your first run is very simple,
The main thing is don’t stand still in the cold.
But then, listen to the command, kids,
The whole game is built on this technique!
Children, we need to build a circle in which you will begin to move. At the same time, be not only agile, but also attentive - listen to my commands and carry out changes in actions.
Progress of the game
Children line up in a round dance and first run in it at a normal pace - following each other. Then the presenter loudly pronounces the command out loud: “Turn around, stand sideways and run at a gallop!”
Hearing the command, the guys turn and run after each other sideways - at a gallop. After some time, the leader gives a new command: “Now everyone has taken each other’s hands and started running in a round dance again!” According to the command, the guys hold hands and continue running again.
The presenter has the right to “confuse the children” by giving commands randomly - without tying them to a constant sequence. The children's task is to listen to commands carefully and carry them out correctly.
3. Game "Sleigh Circle".
Sleighs are familiar to winter,
We will ride them ourselves.
We will put the sleigh in a circle
And let's run around.
But at the command “Stop!”
Sit on the sled deftly!
Look, inside our circle there is a sleigh. First we will move around the sleigh, and then, on my command, you should all run up to the sleigh and sit on it.
Progress of the game
To play, you will need several sleds, which are located in a circle at a distance of 2-3 meters from each other. Children stand around the sleigh. The leader gives commands that the children follow. At the command “Run!” children run in a circle after each other. On the command “Stop!” the children stop running and run to the sled, trying to sit on it.
4. Walking on a snow bank.
Here is a normal walk, but not so simple.
We will walk in the snow until it melts.
And the bench will help us, forming a snow shaft.
We know a lot of tricks on how to walk without getting tired.
We will raise our arms to the sides together.
Pay attention to one trick.
To jump off very softly, look here:
On the snow, squat down deeper, with your arms forward.
(At this moment, one of the specially trained children demonstrates the correctness of walking along the bench in different steps and shock-absorbing dismounting from it.)
Progress of the game
To play, you will need to arrange a special snow bank up to 20 cm high and up to 40 cm wide. You can use a bench covered with snow as it. The guys walk on the snow bank as if on a bench. At first, children simply walk along the shaft, spreading their arms to the sides and gently jumping off at the end. After the jump, children bring their arms forward at shoulder level. Then the walking continues with options. For example, children can walk along a shaft, stepping on it with only one foot - first the left, then the right; then they walk sideways. Similar types of walking for fun can be carried out with several children at the same time. At one command from the leader, they make a turn and continue walking in the opposite direction. This walk can be performed repeatedly.
5. Jumping from a snow bank.
The familiar snow bank
He called us over again.
Let's climb onto it to jump back.
We will jump into the soft snow - how pleasant it is!
We guys will be like birds for a moment.
Hands to the sides, forward, don’t forget to sit down!
(One of the specially trained children at this moment demonstrates the correctness of jumping off the snow bank.)
Progress of the game
Children, in random order, climb onto an erected snow rampart, from which they must jump. They walk along the shaft with their arms spread to the sides. The presenter must explain that the landing on the ground should be soft, springy - with a squat. Your hands should be brought forward.
6. “Throws at the target.”
Presenter (shows an object that becomes a target for throws).
Here is an object familiar to everyone, but I won’t give it to you, no.
Look, I'll put it at a distance.
And listen, guys, the first task.
You will have to hit this target now with a snowball.
Get ready, watch how to wave your hand.
The presenter shows how to take aim, wave your hand several times, still not letting go of the snowball, as if trying to throw it. Only after this should the snowball be thrown at the target.
Progress of the game
A bright and light object is placed on the top of an erected snow fortress or on the edge of a snow-covered bench - a plastic pin, a plastic cube. Children prepare snowballs and throw them at an object, trying to knock it out of its place. You can also set several goals at once so that children have the opportunity to be occupied with this game longer.
7. “Move the puck.”
For winter, cold, frosty times
Hockey is a game for the brave, there is no better game.
Now we'll all take a stick together
And we will successfully score the puck in the goal!
You've probably seen on TV and in courtyards how this game is played. winter game- hockey? (Children’s answers: “Yes, share.”)
Presenter. “What makes this game different from many others?” (Then the children give feasible answers, which the presenter supplements. Children's answers: “Hockey is not played on grass or a natural snow field, but on a specially flooded and prepared site - a hockey field. The goal of this game is to score the puck into the goal of the opposing team. A washer is a flat round object appearance resembling a round cutlet. In addition, when scoring goals, players in this game do not use their hands, but a special object - a stick. A stick is a special flat stick with a curved end on one side.”)
The presenter sets up the goal and shows how to swing the stick and try to hit the puck into the goal.
Children are divided into 2-3 groups, stand in a column, each first person standing in the column receives a stick and shoots at the goal, after which he returns the puck to its place and passes the stick to the second player in his column.
The initial distance from the throwing point to the goal can reach 1-1.5 meters.
Progress of the game
First, children are given the task of throwing the puck with a stick in a given direction.
Then the task of the game becomes more complicated; it is performed by dividing the children in pairs. Children learn to kick the puck away from themselves and receive it onto the stick of a partner.
8. “Sled backwards.”
New game - and now sledding backwards
We are now sitting down and racing from the start.
Your legs won't get tired from such a chase,
We are our own engines, our own horses.
Here is the finish line before you,
You drove into it... with your back.
This is what an unusual game this will be now, children. We are accustomed to the fact that from the start line to the finish line in any game, athletes race, as usual, facing forward. But we must not forget that our games are not just sports, but also entertaining. That’s why we came across the following task: sit on the sled backwards and move on in that direction. Now we will see which of you dares to take part in such unusual races and will try to win them.
Progress of the game
It is necessary to mark the start and finish places, or the game can go in motion in a circle. Children sit on the sled backwards. At the leader’s signal, the children begin to push off the ground with their feet, moving forward on a sled. At the same time, they move towards the finish line with their backs forward.
9. “Walking in the footsteps.”
You saw a footprint in the forest - what does it mean?
In our game it’s so simple: where one walks,
Then everyone will pass there, following in the footsteps.
Let's play trackers - there is such a game.
I suggest everyone play tracker. True, you need to know what the word “pathfinder” actually means. This word means a person who is good at guessing from the tracks left by various animals in the snow what happened to them some time ago. (The presenter can draw for the children different tracks in the snow - bird's, hare's, etc.) For example, if we start looking at the different tracks that we see in the snow in the morning, then we can guess which of them were left by sparrows, because their legs are small. But the tracks of other birds - a crow, a pigeon - are much larger. And look, it happens that you can see many footprints in the snow, moving towards one place in chains. And then they all gather at one point - this means that in this place the birds were looking for food for themselves - tree seeds, or someone sprinkled them with bread crumbs in the snow, so they made a stop here, pecked seeds, crumbs from your bird feeder.
What marks do your shoes leave? (Children make prints of their footprints in the snow and examine them.) For example, where will your footprints be located every morning? (Children's answers: “Every morning my footprints start from the house where I live and lead to...”) Correct. That's how interesting it turns out to be to be able to read footprints in the snow.
But our game is a little different. Everyone knows how difficult it can be to walk through high snowdrifts. Now, if you are lucky and there is a person in front who begins to lay tracks on the untouched snow crust, then the person walking behind him first will be able to step in his footsteps, and this is much easier.
Progress of the game
It is advisable that this game be played on a specially prepared area - covered with fresh, untrodden snow. The leader walks through the area along an arbitrary route, but tries not to repeat it, leaving traces of her shoes in the snow as clearly as possible. Children follow the leader, carefully observing the tracks she leaves and repeating her route, clearly stepping “footprint after footstep.”
At the same time, the leader can change the size of her footprints - walk in small steps or, conversely, slightly elongated ones (but such that they do not exceed the length of a child’s step), walk on tiptoes, on heels, on outside feet, etc.
10. “Pull.”
New game - play, push the sled together,
Sit with your backs to each other so that you can push.
Maybe you, children, remember that in the fairy tale about the good Doctor Aibolit there was such a beast that bore this name - Pull-Tolkai? Who will tell you what was special about this beast? (Children's answers: “This beast had two heads - one in front, the other in the back, where all other animals have a tail.”) Correct. So now you will temporarily turn into such fabulous animals - Tyanitolkayev. To do this, you need to sit on the sled, two people at a time. Just sit down not behind each other, but with your backs to each other. Our sleds are standing in one row, now, on my command, they should all strive to reach the finish line. At the same time, the sled riders must try so hard to coordinate their actions so that their sleds move in the right direction. The pair of lugers that reaches the finish line first will be considered the winner.
Note. The competition can be arranged along the “There and Back” route, that is, first to the finish line, and then again to the start line. Then other children can form pairs for the new stage of the competition.
Progress of the game
Children line up their sleds at the starting line. The presenter explains in which direction everyone will need to start driving together and where the finish of the starting track will be. Children sit on the sled in pairs, each pair with their backs to each other. At the signal, all children on sleds strive to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. On the way back, it turns out that the child sitting behind is already looking ahead.

He alternately (out of order) calls the words “well done”, “hammer”, “milk”, after which the players perform the following movements: - “well done” - jump in place 1 time; - “hammer” - clap your hands once; - “milk” - they say “meow”. The presenter stretches out the first syllables of words to confuse the participants in the game (“mo-lo-o-dets”). The game changes from a slow pace to a fast pace. Those who are inattentive remain in their playing places, and those who perform the movements in accordance with the words without mistakes take a step forward. Thus, the winners are the participants in the game who reach the leader faster than others.
ASSOCIATIONS

Then you need to leave the room - at this time several toys (three or four) will be outweighed: some will be removed, others will be added. Upon entering the room, you need to look at your branches and say what has changed. Depending on age, you can make the tasks more difficult or easier.
GAME "DO NOT MISS"

Three little girls came running..."
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?”; if one of the players turns out to be more attentive, then the presenter concludes: “Those are attentive ears!”

New Year's games and competitions for children
Choose Santa Claus and Snow Maiden
Hide little notes in the Kinder Surprise capsules, one of which will say “Santa Claus”, the other will say “Snow Maiden”. If you don’t have so many “Kinders” at home, put ordinary paper packages in a bag, and let all the participants in the feast experience their “happiness”!
The pieces of paper may be empty, but it’s better to give out New Year’s roles to all guests: Snowflake, Grandma Winter, The Snow Queen, Snowman and so on. If Santa Claus is 2 years old and Snow Maiden is 55, everything worked out as it should! Announce first New Year's dance for the lucky ones, don't forget to put them on required attributes and take a photo near the Christmas tree!
Draw the symbol of the New Year
In 2019 it will be the Pig. We invite everyone to portray this animal. It’s very easy to portray a pig; all you need to do is show a little imagination. We give sweet gifts to the winner.
New Year's predictions
Everyone is interested in knowing what will await them in the new year. And children are no exception. Therefore, the New Year’s game for children “New Year’s Predictions” is an excellent opportunity to keep younger guests busy and make them a pleasant wish on the holiday night.
Place pieces of paper with the names of everyone present in a hat, come up with questions and wishes, and choose a presenter who will help pull out the piece of paper with the addressee of congratulations. You can change your “hand” after each question - each person present in turn can draw a name on a piece of paper, thereby joining the wish. And the questions could be the following:
Who will study best in the new year?
Who will make the great discovery?
Who will find the treasure?
Who will win the lottery?
Who will receive the most gifts?
Who will have the most good news in the new year?
Who will travel a lot?
Who's in for the biggest surprise in 2019?
Who will be the most successful at work (at school)?
Who will be the most athletic in the new year?
Who will be the healthiest?
Who will become famous?
Who will have the biggest dream come true?
What's in the black box?
Why not become a wizard or... a psychic on New Year's Eve? After all, everyone loves miracles and everything unusual - this is especially true on New Year’s Eve.
Let the presenter place a shoe box covered with colored or black paper on a chair in the center of the room and ask them to guess what is in there. In this case, for greater persuasiveness, the presenter can walk near the box and make magical waves with his hands. And if parents are not too lazy to prepare for New Year's games children in advance, then for this competition it would be just right Magic wand and the robe of a psychic wizard. And so that guests and participants can be convinced that there is no lie here, but pure magic, let the presenter allow them to approach the box, make movements with their hands, copying the magicians and the presenter. Perhaps this will help them guess what is there!
Well, is it time to guess? Advice to the presenter: you should accept one answer from each person present - this makes it easier to find the winner. Children naturally assume the presence of toys, adults - anything. Therefore, you can put a really valuable thing in the box that is suitable for any gender and age (a cup with the symbol of the year, for example), a toy or a children's book. Or you can have some fun and put out a firecracker from which fake $100 bills fly out. Why not have some fun?
The main thing is that everyone receives a reward for their efforts. It's New Year's Eve!
Chiming clock
Divide all guests - children and adults - into 2 teams. Give each team Christmas tree decorations and clothespins. But all the toys, snowflakes and garlands need to be hung on... one of the team members - let him shine like a Christmas tree! By the way, you can also hold a garland in your teeth.
To make it more fun, turn on the recording of the chimes! Whoever comes up with the funniest Christmas tree in 1 minute while the recording is going on wins.
New Year games for adults

In the room where the celebration will take place, you need to install a box in advance in which you can drop notes with congratulations. Each - for a specific number, which is assigned to the guest in advance at the very beginning New Year's holiday. Once every half hour or hour, the host of the evening or a specially selected “postman” delivers congratulations and hands them to the recipients. At the end of the festival, you can determine the winner - the most popular recipient - and reward him with a pre-prepared medal or a small New Year's souvenir.
Funny gifts
Give each participant 2 pieces of paper. Write the name of the gift on one. You can enter any gifts: an expensive gift for a loved one, a sweet gift, a dream gift, for example. On the second sheet, write what you would like to do with the gift. For example: on 1 sheet - candy, on 2 - eat.
Mix all sheets number one and put them in a bag. In another bag, put all the leaves numbered 2 and mix them too: let the participants take turns taking out a note from the bags - one with a name and one with an action. Don't forget to read the combinations out loud! And the funniest desire and its fulfillment wins.
New Year's gift on account...
Santa Claus puts a gift on a chair, and 2-3 players stand around. The participants’ task is to take the gift at the moment when Santa Claus says the number 3. But Santa Claus is cunning and counts “1,2, 33” or “1,2, 300”...
New Year's competitions for children and adults are a lot of positive emotions. The main thing is not to miss the chimes while having fun and make a wish!
