New Year's contests and games

New Year's contests and games should be chosen depending on the company in which you will celebrate the New Year. If you, for example, meet the New Year infamily circle, then the competitions should be suitable for all generations so that both grandmothers and grandchildren can take part in them. In this case, you need New Year's contests and games for the whole family. Well, for a friendly party of such restrictions, of course, no. Here everything will depend on your resources, the size of the room, the number of people and the extent of their acquaintance with each other.

Hat, who are you?

For this game you need to pick up hats in advancea variety of styles in terms of the number of participants, from the Fedor to frivolous hats with veil. If you can not collect such a number of hats, you can make symbolic hats made of paper. Each player chooses one hat and puts it on. He needs to figure out what the owner of this hat would say and behave. You can even come up with a new name, biography, some characteristic gestures or accent. Each player in turn represents his character. And then For a while, all the participants in the party win back the characters they invented.

Paper Costumes

Divide all the guests into several groups. Give each group a pack of old newspapers, scotch, pins and scissors. Also, write in advance on the cards the names of New Year's characters (Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, bunny, etc.), and let the representative from each group draw out a card. The task of the players - for the allotted time to make a newspaper out of the suit of the character that went to their group. As a model, one of theplayers. Use additional materials can not! At the end of the allotted time (say 10 minutes), the teams present their creations in the form of a mini-defile, then the winning team is selected. To do this, you can either choose a jury in advance, or vote (provided that you can not vote for your team).

I decided...

On New Year's Eve we promise ourselves that in the newyear we'll start life anew. What did not work out on Monday, it's bound to start on the first of January. Why not turn these promises into a game?

Write on the pieces of paper so many promises,as soon as you come up. You can make serious and not very - that's how you like it. Fold all the pieces of paper in a bag, and let the guests pull one at a time, and then read out, beginning with the words "I promise ...". If the player believes that the piece of paper does not suit him, he should "foist" on it to whom, in his opinion, this promise will come in handy more. You can write, for example, such promises:

• 
  to save money
• 
  eat more chocolate
• 
  spend more time with friends
• 
  spend more money on a soul mate
• 
  read more
• 
  talk less
• 
  go to work on a bicycle
• 
  come up with a new hobby
• 
  have a dog
• 
  to revive old acquaintances

And in a year, be sure to check who was able to keep his promise and who did not.

Hunting for celebrities

Write on the pieces of paper according to the number of players names of celebrities. Papers adhere to the forehead of the players: each player sees pieces of paper from other people, but does not know what piece of paper he got. The task is to guess which celebrity you got. Players walk around the room, asking each otherQuestions that can be answered with "Yes" or "No". If you answered "Yes", you can continue to ask the same player if "No" - you need to find a new "victim" for your questions. The winner is the one who first understands what is written on his paper.

One, two, three, group assemble!

This is a game for a big company, it will help to quickly stir people up. Players walk around the room, at some pointthe leader calls a number, for example, five. On this signal players must gather in groups of five people, holding hands or embracing each other. Those who failed to "nail" to any of the groups, drop out of the game. The game continues, the presenter calls the new numbers, new players are eliminated. And so far there will not be one group of winners - from two to five people. An important point: the numbers called the lead should be no more than half the number of people who are currently in the game.

Choosing New Year's contests and games for the party, remember several important points:

• 
  rules should not be too complicated, so that players do not have to understand them for a long time;
• 
  if there are planned outdoor games, warn the guests in advance to make them more comfortable;
• 
  Do not make guests play if they do not like the game;
• 
  If the company has people who are new to each other, avoid games that seem too personal (games with touches or personal issues).

Have a fun holiday!
