The cash register is closed, there is a large lock and a notice on the door.
It explains that due to renovations to the box office, tickets for the event will be issued at such and such a location. Those gathered find the cash register. It is unusual: it is made in the shape of a large birdhouse located under the ceiling (in a park it can be placed on a tree).
There is a sign on the birdhouse: “Cashier”. A cashier in a fancy dress sits there and invites those who want to see a wonderful performance, for which only he has free tickets. You can get a ticket by climbing to the ticket office using a rope or pole hanging in front of it.
But not everyone who dares to climb the rope manages to get tickets. Before issuing tickets, the cashier asks everyone who comes to the box office to sign for their receipt.
For this purpose, there is a black wooden board nailed to the cash register and a chalk hanging on a string. This turns out to be the most difficult, and for many simply impossible, condition...

Snipers

To play outdoors, you need a playground measuring 3x9 meters.
In the middle, across the site at a height of 1.5 meters, a rope or net is stretched, and on each side of it, 9 towns are placed in squares drawn on the ground (3x3 meters).
The players are divided into two equal teams of 3-5 people.
Having played out the “cities” and the right to first strike, the teams take turns throwing plywood rings through a rope (or net) from the center of their square, trying to throw them on the towns located in the opponents’ square.
Each team player throws two rings. When it is possible to put a ring on a town, it is considered knocked out and is removed from the field. The winner is the team that knocks out all the enemy towns.

Cities

This is an old Russian riddle game.
Children can play it themselves in small groups. Each player takes several cities, for example ten. In order not to forget your cities, you can write down each city on a separate piece of paper and keep these sheets of paper in front of you. (The names of the playing cities should not be repeated, otherwise there will be confusion and disputes will begin.)
One of the players is appointed as a riddler, he must guess ten riddles. Guess the first one.
The players take turns approaching him and quietly, so that others do not hear, they say the answer.
Those who fail to guess give one of their cities to the riddler.
When all the participants in the game have given the answer, the riddle is new riddle. After the tenth riddle, they see who has how many cities left.
It also happens that some players surrender all their cities.

After ten riddles, the second riddler offers his own riddles. Game continues. The one who guesses correctly gets the city he passed. Then the third riddle comes out with new riddles, and everyone guesses them.
After this, they count how many cities they have left. The one with the most of them wins. The one who surrendered all his cities and failed to return them is forced to do something funny.

Prohibited movement

This game is played to music.
The participants of the game stand in a circle. The presenter goes to the middle and agrees with the players that they will repeat all his movements after him without delay. But one movement, for example, “hands on the belt,” cannot be repeated. Anyone who breaks the rule leaves the game.
The game begins with a general signal. The presenter performs various gymnastic exercises or dance movements to the music on the spot or moving in a circle, but at the same time “fines” everyone who makes mistakes.

Who is first?

The game is played with gymnastic wooden rings.
Three people are called and take this ring with their right hand.
A matchbox is placed at a distance of two meters from each player. At the signal, the players pull the ring towards their box, trying to get it. Everyone will pull in their own direction, so this will not be very easy to do. Whoever gets their box first will be considered the winner.

Handshake

Place two players next to each other with their backs to each other, blindfold them and ask them to take 3-4 steps forward, and then turn around twice in place, take the same number of steps back and shake hands.
Players and spectators must remain silent.

Offensive

The players are divided into two equal groups. The participants of the game line up on opposite sides of the court facing each other.
A line is drawn in front of the line. At the leader’s command, players in one line join hands and walk forward to the other line, which remains in place.
When the attacking team approaches the other by three or four steps, the crowd member gives a signal (two claps, a whistle). The attackers separate their hands, turn in a circle and quickly run away beyond their line. Players from the other team catch the runners. It is not allowed to pursue the enemy beyond the line, the spotted players are counted, and they go back to their team.
After this, the second team goes on the offensive, and the players of the first team catch them at the signal.
The game is repeated four to six times. The team that manages to tarnish more players from the opposing team wins.

Raffle

The clown approaches a group of guys, holding an ordinary stick in his hands.
This stick is enchanted,” he announces. It’s clear that everyone will be interested in what the miraculous properties of the stick are.
- I can hold it as long as I want, but any of you will throw it before I count to three! - declares the clown.
Someone will certainly try to hold the stick while the clown counts. The clown agrees to give the stick, but sets a condition:
- If you hold the stick while I count to three, then I will have to jump around this room on one leg. And if you don’t hold on, then you’ll have to jump.
Then the clown passes the stick to the one who is arguing with him and begins to count:
- Once! Two! I'll finish the count tomorrow morning. Will you hold the stick until the morning? No? Then jump!

Prizes (lotteries)

First option.
Tie the prizes to strings and hide them behind a high, blank partition or screen so that only the ends of the strings come out.
A lottery participant can draw a prize using a string.
Of course, he is not allowed to try to pull first one string or the other. Whichever one you touched, pull it.

Second option.
The prizes are packaged in bags of different sizes, but in such a way that a large bag may contain a miniature trinket, such as a toy soldier, and a small bag may contain a fountain pen, a bottle of perfume, or a beautiful notebook.

Third option.
Selecting a lottery from a list (without seeing the items themselves).
The Secret of the List: Things are named so intricately that it's hard to guess what they actually are.
Let’s say the list says “Pocket vacuum cleaner”, and behind this loud name there is a clothes brush; The “writing apparatus” turns out to be a simple pencil.

Fun relay race

The first stage of the relay is sledding. Distance - 30-35 meters. Then the skiers take over the baton and must climb the hill. Here the guys on sleds take up the baton.
Their task: while going down the hill, at full speed, collect as many flags as possible, placed on both sides of the slope. Then the baton passes to the skaters. They need to rush between towns without hitting them.
The next step is to roll four snowballs and throw them in a circle to create eyes, a nose, and a mouth.

New stage: go down the mountain, standing together on one pair of skis.
The relay passes again to the guys sitting on the sleds. Now they must move by pushing off with sticks.

At the final stage, you need to drive as far as possible on the ice on one skate without losing your balance.
Of course, tasks in stages can be alternated in a different order.

Skiers, take your seats!

Guys on skis with poles slowly move in a circle in a column one at a time, with a distance of two or three skis between them.
The driver (without sticks), approaching one or the other skier, commands: “Follow me!”
The person called, sticking his poles into the snow, follows the driver at a distance of two or three skis.
Each next summoned person is positioned behind the head of the previously summoned player and follows him.
Gradually, the driver takes all the skiers with him at a distance of 50 meters away from the circle, now marked with sticks.
At the same time, he can go up and down the slides along the way, changing direction.
Suddenly the driver commands: “Get to your seats!”
Skiers run to the circle and take any place between the poles, holding them.
The driver does the same.
Whoever is late and left without a seat becomes the driver, and the game continues again.

"Day and night"

Two teams walk in two columns, one at a time, at a distance of two steps from each other on both sides of the middle line of the site, two meters from it.
One team is called “Day”, the other is called “Night”. 25 meters from the middle line on each side are the sites of the “Day” and “Night” teams. The areas are limited by lines parallel to the middle line.
The presenter calls one of the teams: “Night!” The called team turns towards its court and runs beyond its line. Players from the other team are trying to catch up with them. The one who is caught up stops.
The leader counts those stopped, and they join their team.
After a few runs the game ends.
The team with the fewest stopped players wins.

Sled relay

The participants of the game form two teams and line up in pairs in columns. Each team has a sled with a rope installed at the starting line. Flags or snowmen are placed 15-25 meters from it.
At the leader’s signal, one of the players of the first pair of each team quickly gets into the sled, and the second takes him to the flag.
Here they change places, and the player who was previously sitting on the sled drives the sled to the start.
The returning pair becomes the last in their column, and the second pair also quickly takes the sled, leads it to the flag and back and passes it to the third pair, etc.
The team whose players finish skating first wins.

Snowmen

It is better to play the game on a warm winter day outside, when the snow is falling well. It involves several units of equal numbers.
At the first signal from the leader, each link rolls up large snowballs and makes a snowman out of them on the target line, located 10-15 steps from the throwing line.
The heads of the snowmen are made small and not attached to the body with anything.
Then each link prepares a supply of snowballs and places them at the throwing line.
At the second signal, the teams begin to throw snowballs at their snowman, trying to knock his head off. However, they do not cross the throwing line.
The team that knocks off its snowman's head first wins.

Catch up!

Two teams line up in columns at a distance of three meters from each other and face the judge.
Thirty meters to the side of each column a straight line is drawn - the “city”.
At the judge’s command “First, run away!” the players of the first team turn their faces to their “city” and run, trying to cross its line as quickly as possible. And the players of the second team run after them, trying to catch up with those running away and touch them with their hands.
The judge counts how many players were caught up and spotted before they crossed the line of their “city”.
Both teams then return to their seats and play resumes.

The judge gives the command “Run away!”, alternating it at his own discretion, so the players do not know in advance which team will have to run away and which will have to catch up.
The winner is the team that, as a result of several races, manages to tarnish the largest number of players from the other team.
Of course, the number of runs must be the same.

Dash

At one end of the site, the “city” line is drawn or marked with flags, and at the other - the horse line.
The distance between them is up to 20 meters.
A line is also drawn between the lines on the side.
One team stands behind the “city” line, the other - behind the side line.
Each member of this team makes three snowballs for himself (no more).
The referee takes a seat on the side and gives the signal to start the game.
At this signal, the members of the first team try to run one at a time to get out of the “city” and beyond the horse line.
And the second team, throwing snowballs, tries to incapacitate as many of those running across as possible.
Each player who is hit by a snowball must immediately go to the side - outside the playing area.
After the first team finishes running, the judge counts the number of those remaining in the ranks. Then the same team one by one runs back to the “city”, dodging snowballs.
The judge again counts the number of “survivors.”
Now the teams change roles and the game resumes.
The team with the most players left at the end of the game wins.

Quick dashes

The players stand in a circle and are counted in numerical order. In the middle of the circle is the driver. He approaches one of the players and asks if the seat is free.
The player names any two numbers at his discretion. For example, he may answer: “No, the place is taken, but the third and twelfth will be available soon.”
At this time, the guys whose places are named quickly change places with each other.
The driver takes advantage of this moment, trying to quickly take one of the vacant seats. If he manages to do this, then the player left without a place becomes the driver. Otherwise, the driver remains in the center of the circle and the game continues.
This game can also be played indoors.

Puck per circle

Players with hockey sticks in their hands form a large circle.
The driver with a hockey puck or wooden ball stands in the center of the circle. By hitting the puck, he tries to bring it beyond the line of the circle, and the players hit the puck, exposing their sticks and trying to direct it back to the driver.
The player who passes the puck beyond the circle to his right becomes the driver and takes a place in the center of the circle, and the driver takes his place in the circle.
Game continues.

In preparation, we used the collections “Games, Entertainment, Tricks” (M. Sovetskaya Russia, 1961), “New Year Tree” (M. Sovetskaya Russia, 1966), the magazine Scenarios and Repertory, regional publications of Magadan, Ulyanovsk, North Ossetia-Alania.

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

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

Cool competitions for the New Year

Competitions for the family at the table

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

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

3. Phrases of congratulations. This is a very funny competition in which it is better to know when to stop. Fill your glasses and make a celebratory toast. Each person sitting at a common table should say a congratulation phrase in turn, but it is important that they begin with letters in alphabetical order (first a toast with the letter “A” is said, the next participant says a toast with the letter “B”, and so on until everyone will have their say). You can start the next round of toasts with the letter you stopped on. Prepare small prizes in advance - each time one of them should be awarded to the person who comes up with the funniest toast in the round.

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

New competitions for 2018 for adults

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

2. Driven. For this competition you will need two radio-controlled cars. Two people play, respectively, each of whom places a stack of alcoholic drink. Now a certain point is randomly selected in the room, which will become the final destination for the cars. The goal is to get your car to the finish line without spilling your drink. The winner drinks his shot. Then the baton passes to the next pair and so on.

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

Funny and interesting games

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

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

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

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

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

New Year's competitions for a fun company

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

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

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

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

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

Children's games for New Year's celebrations

Check out our list of fun new activities for kids.

Draw the symbol of the New Year

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

Sweets

This game more suitable for younger children school age, and not for babies who have barely learned to walk. The fact is that this entertainment requires precise coordination of movements and the ability to control one’s actions. Also note that only one child can play the game. So, first, hang a couple of your child’s favorite candies on the holiday tree - the child should not see exactly where you placed them. Blindfold your child and lead him to the tree, asking him to find candy on the tree within a certain time. Of course, the player will have to act very carefully so as not to damage the toys, tumble the tree itself, or fall himself.

Round dance

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

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

When the last words of the final phrase begin to sound, the cat stretches and at the last word “Round Dance” opens his eyes and runs after the mice who are trying to escape. The caught “mouse” turns into a cat, and so on in a circle.

Drawing or letter to Santa Claus

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

Let's make a snowman

Making a snowman is fun and exciting, even in cases where we are not talking about winter fun outside. For this game you will need softened plasticine. So, two participants get down to business and sit at the table next to each other (you can even hug). Now these players must act as one. Right hand let one child and the other’s left act as if we were talking about the hands of one person - in this way the children will have to make a snowman out of plasticine. The task is quite difficult, but if the kids start working together, then everything will certainly work out!

Competition for the best snowflake

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

Competition - guess the hero

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

Hide and seek

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

Fun entertainment for corporate events

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

1. Mandarin relay. We offer very interesting option This entertainment requires two teams with the same number of participants. Each team represents a player who puts a tangerine in a spoon and holds the spoon itself with both hands. Now the opponents must reach a certain landmark with the spoon and back to their team without dropping the citrus - if this happens, then the loser with the spoon returns to the starting point. Having reached the landmark and back, the participant passes the spoon to the next player. The team that can complete the task first will win. Please note that when carrying a tangerine, you cannot hold it with anything.

2. Bottle. This is a fairly famous game that marked the beginning of many office romances. Be that as it may, it's really fun entertainment. So, at least 4-6 people take part in the game, who should sit in a circle, after which one of them spins the bottle lying in the center of the circle clockwise. As a result, the player who set the bottle in motion will have to kiss the person to whom, like an arrow, the stopped neck of the vessel (or the person of the opposite sex closest to the pointer) will point. After this, the bottle is offered to be twisted by the one who came under “her sights.”

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

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

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

New Year - magical holiday. Many adults and all children are looking forward to it. An entertainment program will help you celebrate the New Year in the company of family and friends. To do this, you need to prepare table and outdoor competitions in advance.

Interesting and funny games for a corporate event. A festive matinee in the kindergarten or school.

Game "Upside down"

The presenter asks the players one by one questions in poetic form. The participants' task is to answer funny in rhyme and name the correct answer. Long thoughts lead to dropping out of the game. Hints from other participants are also prohibited (whoever gave a hint leaves the game). The last player remaining wins.

Examples of questions and answers:
Down from the branch
On the branch again
Jumps quickly... cow (monkey)

The competition involves male-female pairs. Each pair receives 2 apples. Partners stand in front of each other. Then all participants are blindfolded. The essence of the competition is to eat an apple from your partner's hand as quickly as possible. At the same time, you cannot feed yourself. The winner is the pair that gnaws each other's apples faster than the rest.

A minimum of 3 male-female pairs participate in the competition. A handkerchief is tied around the neck of one of the partners (in a loose knot). As soon as the music starts playing, the second participant must, without using his hands, using only his teeth, untie the scarf around his partner’s neck. It is forbidden to help him. The pair that completes the task faster than the rest wins.

To conduct the competition you will need empty wine or champagne bottles, pencils and strong thread. As many players as there are empty bottles can participate.

The bottles are placed in the middle of the room in a circle. Competitors use a long thread to tie pencils to their belts so that they hang almost to their knees. It is very important that the pencils are on the back side of each participant. With these dangling pencils, players must hit the bottleneck. You can squat, kneel, bend. You can't help with your hands. The winner is the participant who gets the pencil into the bottle the fastest.

Game "Snowman"

Anyone can participate in the recreational relay race. To play, you need to prepare an easel and attach whatman paper to it. On a large sheet of paper, you need to draw a big snowman in advance, but forget about such a detail as the nose. It should not be drawn, but separately cut out of colored paper and given a cone shape.

Participants take turns approaching the easel. They are blindfolded and given a snowman's nose, which is secured with double-sided tape. Then the players are given a good spin and told to attach the nose to the snowman. The winner is the one who sticks the part in the right place on whatman paper.

Participants are divided equally into 2 teams. Trays are placed at both ends of the room. At the beginning of the room there are two empty ones, and at the end - filled with tangerines (the same number on each tray). The first two players from each team are given a tablespoon. The participants’ task is to run to a full tray with a spoon, put one tangerine on it without using their hands, and slowly bring it to their team’s empty tray. If the tangerine falls, you need to pick it up with a spoon and continue the relay race. Whichever team transfers all the tangerines from the full to the empty tray the fastest will win.

Game "Hibernating Bear"

To play the game you will need 3 gymnastic hoops. A group of children plays the role of bunnies, and one child plays the role of a hibernating bear. When the music starts playing, the bunnies go for a walk. They jump near the bear, trying to wake him up. They can sing, dance, laugh, clap and tap their feet on the floor as long as the music plays. When the musical accompaniment subsides, the bear wakes up, and the bunnies hide in hoop houses lying on the floor. If there is a large group of guys, and there are only 3 hoops on the floor, you can hide in them in twos or threes. The bunny that was caught by the bear (who did not have time to hide in the hoop) begins to play the role of a bear. The game continues until interest disappears.

The game involves 10 people. For the competition you will need 9 chairs. All chairs should be placed in a large circle. It is better if they stand at a certain distance from each other. Participants, having heard the music, begin to walk in a circle. You cannot hold on to the back of a chair. At the end of the musical accompaniment, the children quickly sit on chairs. The participant who does not have enough chair is eliminated. After 1 player is eliminated, 1 chair is also taken. At the end of the competition, 2 participants and 1 chair remain. The one who sits on the last chair wins.

The competition involves 2 teams of 2 people. Each group gets big air balloons, double-sided tape, scissors and markers of different colors.

The participants' task is to connect the balls using double-sided tape to make a snowman. Then you need to decorate the snowman and prepare him for the New Year. You can draw his eyes, nose, mouth, hair, buttons, or any other element. You have 5 minutes to complete the task.

Have you already started preparing competitions for the New Year 2019? Yesterday I decided to look for various games and competitions for the New Year, and found many interesting ones that will help us enter the Year of the Pig cheerfully and joyfully.

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

1. Make a plan for games and competitions. A group of adults will need to eat, raise their glasses to the New Year, and dance, so game program should be carefully woven into the natural flow of the party.
2. Prepare your props. Having decided what you will play at home for the New Year, make a list of what you will need for this or that competition. It is best to arrange the props and prizes according to thematic competitions(I use small gift bags for this).
3. Stock up on prizes. People love to receive small funny prizes - candies, chocolates, cute New Year's toys. It’s better to take extra prizes.
4. It is better to make auxiliary materials on cards - if you need to stock up on some phrases, scripts and texts, then write or print them on regular cards in advance, this is much more convenient than using one large script.
5. Select music, identify your helpers, prepare a place for games.

Collection of competitions and games

"Wishes"

The simplest New Year's games and all sorts of competitions where guests don’t have to do anything - for example, they can be asked to burst balloons with wishes inside.

You need to prepare in advance a large bunch of balloons (their number should be greater than the number of guests, just in case), inside which notes with wishes are inserted. For example, you can give a guest scissors and invite him to cut off the ball he likes, and then read it aloud to all the guests - such a simple but cute entertainment helps the company have fun and unite.

"Tsiferki"

New Year's games and competitions based on the question-and-answer model always receive a lot of applause. It’s no wonder - everyone loves to laugh, but there are no difficulties.

So, the host hands out small pieces of paper and pens to the guests, and invites them to write down their favorite number (or any other number that comes to mind). If you wish, you can record some sequence and play several circles. When all the guests have completed the task, the presenter says that now everyone present will be able to learn more about each other - he will ask questions, and the guests will answer them, holding up a piece of paper with the numbers written down, and loudly announcing the answer.

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

"Not a word of truth"

My favorite pastimes are funny competitions for the New Year. Of course, for a group of pensioners you will need to choose something more decent, but in your circle you can always have fun - for example, by playing the game “Not a Word of the Truth”.

The presenter will need to prepare in advance many New Year's questions, such as these:

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

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

The one who makes a mistake and answers truthfully, based on the results of the game, can read poetry, sing a song or fulfill various wishes - you can use wishes to play forfeits, for example, the loser needs to put several slices of tangerine in both cheeks and say something like “I’m a hamster and I eat grain, don’t touch it - it’s mine, and whoever takes it will be finished!”. Bursts of laughter are guaranteed - both during the game and during the “punishment” of the losing participant.

"Accurate shooter"

As entertainment for the New Year 2019, you can play snipers. It’s most fun to play this game when the participants are already a little tipsy - and coordination becomes more free, and there is less constraint, and it’s a little more difficult to hit the target.

The essence of the game is as follows - the guests are divided into two teams, and in turn each player throws “snowballs” into a bucket. The bucket is placed at a distance of five to seven meters from the players; as “snowballs” you can use lumps of cotton wool, crumpled paper, or just take a couple of sets of simple New Year's balls made of plastic, which are sold in any supermarket.

I decided to improve this game for a New Year's party 2019 for adults and use children's ones as a “goal”. basketball hoops- getting into them with a soft ball of cotton wool is even more difficult than getting into a bucket.

"New Year decoration"

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

All those present should be divided into teams of 5-6 people (depending on the number of guests at your party). The teams are given the task of building a New Year's ball. For production, you can only use toiletries, accessories and jewelry that the team members are wearing. The team that makes the brightest and most beautiful ball wins.

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

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

"Come, forest deer"

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a corporate event for the New Year or for a party that will not take place in a city apartment, then be sure to play Santa with his reindeer. There is no need to divide the guests into teams; it is enough to simply invite them to split into pairs.

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

The “deer” needs to be blindfolded and made into a harness - no need to split hairs, a simple clothesline or cord that wraps around the belt will do. The reins are given to Santa, who stands behind his “reindeer.” A track is built from the pins, the leader gives a signal and the competition begins. Those participants who reach the finish line earlier than others and do not knock down the pins win. Instead of skittles, you can use empty bottles, cardboard drink cups or paper cones (we made them in the shape of Christmas trees, it was very cute).

"Collective Letter"

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

The host invites the guests to congratulate each other and say a big and beautiful toast - and waves a postcard on which he has already written a congratulation. Only he didn’t have enough adjectives, and the guests must suggest them. Everyone randomly offers adjectives related to winter, New Year and holiday, and the presenter writes them down and then reads out the result - the text turns out to be very funny!

"Turnip: New Year's version"

If you love New Year's competitions for the whole family, then turnip is what you need!

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

1. The turnip will slap its knees and then clap its hands with the exclamation “Both-on!”
2. Grandfather rubs his palms and grunts, “Yes, sir!”
3. The grandmother swings her fist at the grandfather and says, “I would have killed him!”
4. The granddaughter dances and sings “I’m ready!” in a high voice (when men play this role, it turns out just great).
5. The bug itches and complains of fleas.
6. The cat wags its tail and mannerly drawls, “And I’m on my own.”
7. The mouse sadly shrugs its shoulders and says, “We’ve finished the game!”

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

"Strictly in alphabetical order"

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

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

1. A It is absolutely necessary to drink to happiness in the new year!
2. B Let's go healthy in the new year!
3. IN Let's drink to the old year!
4. E If we don’t get drunk, we’ll have to eat!

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

"Bunnies"

If you want to pick up outdoor games for the New Year 2019, play bunny. On New Year's Eve, it is best to play this game at home when there are many guests - it is suitable for a group of friends.

Everyone stands in a circle and holds hands, the leader walks around all the players in a circle and whispers to everyone the names of two animals - a wolf and a bunny, a fox and a bunny, and so on. Then he explains the essence of the game - when the presenter says the name of the animal out loud, the person for whom it was given crouches, and his neighbors on the left and right, on the contrary, pull him up, preventing him from crouching. You need to play at a good pace so that the participants get into a frenzy.

The main joke of this action is that absolutely all players have a second animal - a bunny. Therefore, after people have taken turns squatting to the names of other animals, the leader says “Bunny!”, and the whole circle suddenly tries to sit down (trying to overcome the possible resistance of neighbors, as was the case with other animals).

Naturally, everyone starts laughing, and a pile of small things gathers on the floor!

"News from the New Year"

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

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

• China, dumplings, roses, Olympics, lilac.
• Santa Claus, wheel, eraser, north, bag.
• New Year 2019, fan, tights, pan, scabies.
• Santa Claus, pig, herring, stapler, barrier.
• Nettle, tinsel, Kirkorov, fishing rod, plane.
• Football, shovel, snow, Snow Maiden, tangerines.
• Snowman, beard, tights, bicycle, school.
• Winter, zoo, washing, boa constrictor, rug.

How to come up with news? Set an example for your guests by showing them that all words need to be used, and the stranger the news, the more interesting it is.

Well, for example, from the last example I gave, you can build something like this: “In the Moscow Zoo, during winter washing, a rug was discovered in a boa constrictor.” There will be a reason to be surprised, and laugh, and drink to the fact that all the news in the new 2019 will be just as positive.

"We're jumping into the New Year"

As a family, we often organize jumping as an entertainment for the New Year, and 2019 will not be an exception, I’m sure - this is already a kind of tradition.

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

And for all your wishes to come true, you need to draw them. On a large sheet of paper, everyone draws their desires - some manage to draw several miniatures, for others it is enough to sketch what they want. By the time the president speaks, the drawing is usually completed or the finishing touches are remaining. After the president’s speech, the presenter invites everyone to join hands, count down the chimes in unison, and solemnly jump into the new year and the fulfillment of their own wishes!

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

"The best"

Good New Year's entertainment can happen without a host. Good way keep the guests busy - give them unique tasks, but few people want to just compete, right?

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

What to write on labels:

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

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

"Song from a Hat"

By the way, almost all New Year's competitions at the table involve playing with a hat - some notes are thrown into the hat in advance, and then they are pulled out and completed tasks of relatives or colleagues.

In the New Year 2019, we will play with our family a popular variation of this game with songs. You need to scribble notes with winter and New Year's words into the hat, each guest blindly takes a note out of the hat and sings a song in which this word appears.

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

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

"Mittens"

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

So, the girls are put on robes or shirts, and the guys are given thick ones. winter mittens. The essence of the competition is to quickly button up the girls' shirts so that they don't freeze!

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

"Let's draw Santa Claus"

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

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

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

By the way, if you are selecting competitions for a New Year's corporate party, do not forget to find funny music - I use cuts from Soviet children's cartoons for New Year's competitions 2019, this usually evokes the warmest emotions.

"We distribute roles"

You can start fun competitions for the New Year for your family with this kind of entertainment.

Prepare more attributes of fairy-tale New Year's characters, put notes with roles in empty Kinder capsules (you can simply wrap them in wrapping paper in the manner of candy) and start games at the table for the New Year with an offer to find out who still runs the show.

Everyone present must play their part. These could be snowflakes, bunnies, squirrels, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, the Snow Queen, an overseas guest - Santa Claus and his reindeer. Provide small attributes to all guests that will be relevant to their role that night - e.g. snow queen a crown is suitable, Santa Claus can loudly knock with his elegant staff, and a company of oversized bunny boys with white ears will decorate any New Year's photo.

Believe me, New Year's table games will take on a new color as soon as Grandma Winter or Mikhailo Potapych, who specially woke up for competitions for the New Year 2019 and New Year's dances, begins to speak a toast.

"Photo tests"

Which cool competitions for the new year without photos?

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

• the most decrepit snowflake;
• the sleepiest guest;
• the most cheerful Baba Yaga;
• the hungriest Santa Claus;
• the most generous Santa Claus;
• the kindest Santa Claus;
• the most beautiful Snow Maiden;
• the most overfed guest;
• the most cheerful guest;
• the most cunning Baba Yaga;
• the evil Kashchei himself;
• the strongest hero;
• the most capricious princess;
• the biggest snowflake;
• and so on…

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

"Little things from Grandfather Frost"

Tell your guests this legend about how Santa Claus was walking through the forest with gifts, fell with one foot into a snowdrift and spilled gifts from the bag. The big ones remained in the bag, but the small presents fell out. And you picked them up and now give them to all the guests.

Wrap all kinds of nice little things that you bought in advance in opaque packaging, or you can wrap gifts in small pieces of fabric, like miniature bags, tied with a thick thread or ribbon.

Pleasant little things can include: calendar cards, candles, keychains, pens, flashlights, kinders, liquid soap, magnets.

Every time it surprises with what trepidation guests wait for these gifts... Not only children, but even adults :-)

Well, and finally, be a good magician and predictor, one more thing New Year's entertainment from website:

3. "Frost Breath". In front of each participant, place a large snowflake cut out of paper on the table. The task of each participant is to blow away a snowflake so that it falls on the floor on the other side of the table. The competition ends when the last snowflake hits the floor. The player who takes the longest to complete the task wins. It was all because of his frosty breath, which caused the snowflake to “freeze” to the surface of the table.
4. "Dish of the Year". Participants will have to prepare a dish using ingredients from New Year's table. A New Year's salad composition or a unique sandwich will do. Afterwards, a man sits in front of each participant, and all players are blindfolded. The “New Year's hostess” who feeds the dish to the man the fastest will win.

New Year competitions for children and adults

A real holiday, in addition to noisy pastime at the table, includes short dance breaks, mass games and various competitions.

The New Year's celebration is aimed at a mixed audience, so choose New Year's competitions so that everyone can participate. After a half-hour feast, offer guests several musical and active competitions. Having thoroughly blurred and danced, they returned to eating New Year's salads.

I offer 5 interesting competitions for children and adults. I’m sure they will take their rightful place in the New Year’s entertainment program.

1. "Christmas trees". Participants imagine that they are Christmas trees standing in the middle of the forest. The presenter says the Christmas trees are tall, low or wide. After these words, the participants raise their arms, squat or spread their arms. The player who makes a mistake is eliminated. The most attentive one wins.
2. "Dress up the Christmas tree." You will need garlands, tinsel and ribbons. The Christmas trees will be women and girls. They hold the end of the garland in their hand.

New Year's games for children

The main holiday of winter is New Year, accompanied by holidays, good mood and a lot of free time. When guests gather in the house, New Year's games for children will come in handy.

Comic tasks, coupled with vivid images and festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple group game will be exciting if you play with a friendly group. Children will especially enjoy the competitions, the victory of which will bring New Year's gifts.

1. "Tiger Tail". Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. Participant, first standing in the line is the head of a tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” strives to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the coupling. After some time, the children change places.
2. « Merry round dance» . An ordinary round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone, constantly changing the direction and speed of movement. After several circles, lead the round dance like a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.
3. "Journey" . Team play involves the use of blindfolds and pins. Place the skittles in a “snake” pattern in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down the fewest pins wins the game.
4. "Compliment to the Snow Maiden". Choose Snow Maiden. Then invite several boys who will compliment her. They have to take pieces of paper with inscriptions out of the bag and, based on the words written on them, say “ nice words" The winner is the player who voiced greatest number compliments.
5. « Magic words» . Participants are divided into teams and given a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter is reading, there are words from these letters. When such a word is heard, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and line up in the required order. The team that is ahead of its opponents earns a point.
6. "What changed". Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. Then the children leave the room. Several toys are re-hung or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.
7. "Gift in a circle". Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. Afterwards the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player who has a gift left is eliminated. At the end of the game, there will be one participant left who will receive this souvenir.

Ideas for the New Year

Waiting for a miracle is a tedious task; it is better to create it yourself. What to do? Imagine yourself as a wizard, look around, collect simple objects and create something soulful, shimmering, warm and extraordinary. You will need some free time.

1. "Christmas balls with fabric applique". To make your Christmas tree stylish and original, you don’t have to buy expensive toys. You can create an exclusive design using cheap plastic balls without a pattern. Cut out identical motifs from an old scarf or a beautiful piece of fabric and paste them onto the surface of the balls.
2. « Christmas tree decoration from orange". You will need a few oranges, a beautiful fancy ribbon, a cute rope, and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Cut the oranges into slices and place them in the oven to dry. Tie a cinnamon stick with a string and tie it to an orange slice. Make a loop on top. The final touch is a bow tied to a loop.

Amazing snowflake

It's hard to imagine a New Year's holiday without a dozen playful snowflakes.

1. Use scissors to trim the ends of the toothpick. Use a paper cutter to make a small cut in the middle of one edge of the toothpick. This will be the main tool.
2. Make several paper blanks. The width of the strip is around three millimeters. The length is equal to the length of the sheet.
3. Create a spiral. Carefully insert the edge of the paper strip into the slot on the toothpick and twist it into a spiral. Twist the tool, not the paper. Make sure that the spiral is as even as possible. Remove the spiral and place it on the table.
4. Spread the edge of the strip twisted into a spiral with glue and press it against the spiral. Press the end lightly. You will get a droplet with a spiral inside. Make as many similar elements as possible.
5. The shape of the elements can be changed. During gluing, squeeze the element with your fingers, giving it a certain shape. This is how not only circles are created, but droplets and eyes.
6. Having prepared the required number of elements, begin to form the snowflake. Create a pattern from individual elements, fastening with a drop of glue. You will get an amazingly beautiful snowflake.

Perhaps my ideas for the New Year will seem too simple. If you do everything correctly, the result will be very beautiful, with minimal investment of time and money.
