Competition - which New Year's character are you?
Everyone associates the New Year with a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, snowman, and so on. And our first competition is just about this.
Call 4 people for a competition. They sit on chairs with their backs to the other guests. We stick signs on their backs with the words who they are. For example, for a guy - Santa Claus. For the second guy - a Christmas tree. The girl is a snow maiden. The second girl is a snowman. We repeat - only guests see the signs and that’s it. The presenter asks the competition participants questions, and they answer them.
Examples of questions:
- are you comfortable in this role?
- what bothers you (or what suits you most)
- What qualities do you have the most positive?
- what's bad about you?
- where do you usually go in this look?
- What is your life motto?
And so on. The participants answer and the guests laugh. Since they know what the images are, but the participants do not know their images.
Competition - guess the chicken, that is, the movie.
And this is a video competition. In it, guests will have to guess a movie or TV series based on a still frame. Everything seems simple, but not everything is so obvious! And all because the actors’ faces will be hidden under the masks of cockerels and hens. When all the guests made their guesses. Then the next freeze frame is shown, where the masks are no longer there, and everyone sees what kind of film it is.
Here is the video for the competition:
Competition - music connected us...
Yes, we love listening to music and often sing ourselves. And in this competition we also have to sing!
Five people are participating. They go on stage, and their task is to sing a song: a Christmas tree was born in the forest. Just? Yes, only they will sing this song in different styles: rap style, chanson style, rock style. In the style of Russian folk song, and in the style of opera! By lot we determine who sings what and for the cause!
Competition - rooster actors.
Have you ever watched roosters walking? Have you seen how they behave? If yes, then you will find it easy in this competition, if not, then you need to imagine the rooster in different situations.
And so, for the competition we need 3-5 people. The task here is simple - to show the rooster in different situations. For example:
- the rooster is frozen
- the rooster is hoarse
- the rooster saw grilled chickens spinning on a spit
- the rooster saw the owner walking with an ax
- the rooster saw a new rooster in the barn
We decide by lot who shows what and move on. Whoever comes up with the funniest is the winner.
New Year's forfeits.
Do you like to play forfeits? Then this competition is definitely right for you.
They are simple to play: take turns taking out cards with tasks and completing these tasks.
Here's an example of what can be done.
Competition - New Year's selfie.
Everyone knows what a selfie is. And everyone does it several times a day every day. And today your skills will come in handy.
So. 3-7 people participate. They should have phones with cameras on the front to take selfies. Although it is possible with cameras on the back, it is not very convenient. At the leader's command, they begin to run and take selfies. But not just like that, but with what the presenter said.

Competition – game “Sector Prize”(new)
(from reader Maria)
The essence of the game: a box is prepared containing either the prize itself or a part of this prize. Only one player is selected and asked to choose: a prize or N amount of money (if there is no real money, money from a joke store, i.e. not real money, is a perfect substitute). And then it starts like on the TV program “Field of Miracles”, guests, friends, relatives, etc. sitting next to them shout “... prize”, and the presenter offers to take the money (just in case something happens, don’t say that the money is from a joke store or otherwise the prize will be taken away very quickly and it will not be interesting to play). The presenter’s task is to keep the intrigue and hint that the gift is very chic, but money has never bothered anyone, that they need to take it. The player's choice can be made in different ways, be it a children's counting rhyme or according to some separate criteria. In order to make it interesting for all the guests, so that no one is offended (why did you choose this or that player), you can raffle off several prizes, but you will have to stock up on a large amount of money (even as was said earlier, it may not be real money).
Competition for a group of adults
Hit the target!
A proven competition – bursting laughter and fun are guaranteed. The competition is more suitable for men-) Required for the competition: empty bottles, rope (about 1 meter long for each participant) and pens and pencils.

Fun competition for the family “New Year’s “Turnip”
(This competition is time-tested, a great option for the New Year, fun will be guaranteed!)
The number of participants is the number of characters in this famous fairy tale plus 1 presenter. New actors need to remember their role:
Turnip - alternately hits his knees with his palms, claps his hands, and at the same time says: “Both-on!”
Grandfather rubs his hands: “Okay, sir.”
The grandmother threatens her grandfather with her fist and says: “I would kill him!”
The granddaughter – (for super-effect, choose an impressively sized man for this role) – twitches her shoulders and says, “I’m ready.”
Bug - scratches behind the ear, says: “The fleas are tormented”
Cat – sways her hips “And I’m on my own”
The mouse shakes its head, “We’ve finished!”
The presenter reads the classic text “Turnip”, and the heroes, having heard themselves mentioned, play their role:
“Grandfather (“Tek-s”) planted Turnip (“Oba-na”). Turnip (“Both-on!”) grew big and big. Grandfather (“Tek-s”) began to pull Turnip (“Both-on!”). He pulls and pulls, but he can’t pull it out. Grandfather called (“Tek-s”) Grandma (“I would kill”)…” etc.
The real fun begins after the words of the presenter: “Grandfather for Turnip, Grandma for Dedka...” First, conduct a rehearsal, and then the “performance” itself. Bursts of laughter and a great mood are guaranteed!
A Christmas tree was born in the forest (musical scene, readers recommend)
We turn on the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest”, just as in “Turnip”, distribute roles to the participants (it is recommended to write the roles on pieces of paper in advance and for the participants to randomly choose a role for themselves: “Christmas tree”, “Frost”, etc. ) and act out this children's song to the music.
It looks very funny when adults get used to a children's song.
“Phrases of congratulations”
The presenter reminds that New Year's Eve is in full swing, and some people are already having difficulty remembering the last letter of the alphabet. Guests are invited to fill their glasses and make a New Year's toast, but with one condition. Each person present begins the congratulation phrase with the letter A, and then proceeds alphabetically.
For example:
A - Absolutely happy to drink to the New Year!
B - Be careful, New Year is coming!
B - Let's drink to the ladies!
It's especially fun when the game gets to G, F, P, S, L, B. The prize goes to the one who came up with the funniest phrase.

The most sensitive
Only women participate in the competition. The participants stand facing the audience. Behind each is a chair. The presenter quietly places a small object on each chair.

You can guess the number of identical objects (caramels, tangerines) placed on a chair.

The task of the chosen one is to depict the hidden word without making a sound, only with gestures, facial expressions and plastic movements, so that his team can guess what was planned. After successfully guessing, the teams change roles. After some practice, this game can be complicated and made much more interesting by guessing not words, but phrases.
Lung capacity
The players' task is to inflate the balloons in the allotted time without using their hands.
Whale
Everyone stands in a circle and joins hands. It is advisable that there are no breakable, sharp, etc. nearby. items. The presenter speaks into each player's ear the names of two animals. And he explains the meaning of the game: when he names any animal, then the person who was told this animal should sit down sharply in his ear, and his neighbors to the right and left, on the contrary, when they feel that their neighbor is crouching, should prevent this from happening, supporting the neighbor by the arms . It is advisable to do all this at a fairly fast pace, without giving any breaks. The funny thing is that the second animal that the host speaks into the players’ ears is the same for everyone – “WHALE”. And when, a minute or two after the start of the game, the presenter suddenly says: “Whale,” then everyone inevitably has to sit down sharply - which leads to prolonged wallowing on the floor. :-))
Masquerade
Various funny clothes are stuffed into the bag in advance (national hats, clothes, underwear, swimsuits, stockings or tights, scarves, bows, diapers for adults, etc. Balls can be inserted into the bra). A DJ is selected. He turns the music on and off at different intervals. The music starts playing, the participants begin to dance and pass the bag to each other. The music stopped. Whoever has the bag left in his hands pulls out one item and puts it on himself. And so on until the bag is empty. In the end, everyone looks very funny.
“What do you like about your neighbor?”
Everyone sits in a circle and the leader says that now everyone must say what they like about their neighbor on the right. When everyone tells these intimate details, the presenter joyfully announces that now everyone should kiss their neighbor on the right exactly in the place that he liked the most.

A hat or box is placed near the door, from which each person entering takes out a task for himself. Cards are drawn blindly; you cannot inform other party participants about their contents. Violators are given symbolic punishment, for example, eating a piece of lemon without sugar or performing the Yellow Dog dance.
Cards for the game are prepared in advance. What the tasks will be depends on the imagination of the owners of the house and the company that gathers. Usually they write something like: “crow every hour”, “find three people who agree to dance in a circle with you”, “spend the whole evening wearing a Santa Claus hat”, “climb onto a chair at exactly 23.15 and recite a poem”, “say a toast in which all words begin with the letter B”, “persuade the neighbor on the right to dance tango”, etc. The content of tasks should be selected depending on the nature of the company; do not forget that they should be humorous, simple and enjoyable. If a lot of children come to the party, prepare separate boxes with cards for children and adults. At the end of the evening, a vote is held to determine who handled the game better. The winner is given a prize.

- a hat or box in which tasks are placed.
If there are less than 15 participants, then everyone plays for themselves. It is better to divide a larger number of guests into teams of 2-3 people.

Competition for attention
Include fun competitions for attention for adults in the New Year 2017 program, so that unfamiliar participants of the holiday get to know each other better, and old friends laugh sincerely. This game can be started spontaneously because it does not require any props.How to play?
- The first pair is chosen (at will or by lot). It is better to distribute teams so that they contain people who know each other equally. The pair is chosen immediately before the competition, so participants who are waiting for their turn will not be able to prepare.
- The playing couple goes to the center. For 30-60 seconds, participants are asked to look at each other.
- Then their backs are turned, and the rest of the guests ask them one by one questions about their appearance: “What color are Andrey’s eyes?”, “What’s on his left hand?”, “What color are his socks?” etc. Sometimes they ask deceptive questions, for example, they ask which hand the ring is on, even if there is no such accessory. This will help confuse players.

For lovers of intellectual games
For those who like intellectual questions, you can offer a word knowledge competition. This game is suitable for adults.

In addition, non-existent words should be included in the list. This will make the game even more interesting.
How to play?
There are several options. You can come up with possible answers for each word and ask participants to guess the correct one. A more difficult, but also fun competition is to guess the meaning of words without clues. An important condition in this case is that it is necessary to explain the meaning of the word. Guests play in teams or each for himself.

Have a fun holiday and don’t forget that there should be a lot of competitions at the New Year’s table. This year's symbol loves laughter and celebrations. If you celebrate the New Year in a fun and interesting way, the Dog will definitely remember you and bring you good luck in the coming year.
The traditional and still best solution would be to spend the New Year with your family, where only your favorite and closest people are present. But it will still be boring to just sit at the table and watch an endless stream of entertaining television programs. It is much more interesting to organize some exciting New Year's competitions for the whole family at home, in which both adults and children can participate equally. By organizing New Year's competitions for children and adults, you can unite your family even closer and make this winter holiday even more magical and unforgettable.
"Relay of Memories"
Usually, before the New Year, people say goodbye to the outgoing year, summing up its results. This can be turned into a game. Let everyone quickly and briefly name the most pleasant moments that happened to him in the past year, and pass the baton to someone else. The one who could not quickly pick it up and continue with his memories becomes a loser, but for this he is awarded the title of “lucky person of 2017.” At the same time, the display of a sense of humor by those gathered is encouraged.
"Draw a dream"
When choosing New Year's competitions for a small company, you can pay attention to the following. Participants are provided with sheets of paper and markers, crayons or pencils. They are then blindfolded and must then blindly try to draw their dream. When all the participants have finished their work, they take off their bandages and, together with other guests, try to guess what kind of dream was depicted on each canvas. The winner of the competition receives a small prize, and the rest of the artists can only believe that their dreams will come true in the coming year.
"Funny drawings"
You need to get a large sheet of corrugated cardboard, in the middle of which make two holes for the hands. Then the competition participants, one by one, must stick their hands into these holes and, without seeing what they are doing, try to draw something, for example, Santa Claus. This fun competition for adults for the New Year is won by the one who comes up with the most beautiful or funniest drawing.
"Not a word of truth"
The presenter for this competition must prepare in advance many questions on New Year's themes, for example:
- which plant is most often decorated for the New Year;
- who is customary to sculpt from snow;
- what is our most “New Year’s” film;
- that on New Year's Eve rushes into the sky;
- whose year begins according to the Chinese calendar;
- who we see on television screens last in the past year.
In family competitions at the table for the New Year, you can include questions about the habits of guests or New Year’s traditions among different nations. In general, the more questions there are and the more diverse they are, the more interesting participation in this competition will be for everyone.
The host must quickly and decisively ask his questions, and the guests must answer them in such a way that there is not a word of truth. The unwary player who tells the truth will receive a forfeit - to sing a song, read a poem, or fulfill the wish of one of the participants, just as it happens in the classic game of forfeit.
"New Year's Talisman"
When thinking over a scenario for the New Year in the family, competitions can be chosen with a creative twist. For example, make a New Year's talisman from office supplies (tape, pins, paper clips), plasticine and even food. Each participant in the competition is offered the task of making a talisman for one of the participants in the feast from the materials provided in 2-3 minutes. The winner is the one who not only designed the most impressive talisman, but also accompanied it with the most convincing or original explanation of why it is needed.
"Remembering the Alphabet"
You can include such entertainment in New Year's competitions for an adult company. At the height of the feast, the host turns to the guests and says that he has taken so much that he has already forgotten the alphabet. On this occasion, he suggests raising glasses and making toasts to the New Year, which should begin in alphabetical order. Next comes the turn of the guests, who must come up with toasts, starting with the letter “A” and further alphabetically. For example, these:
- Shouldn't we do it again for the New Year?
- Be healthy in the coming year!
- To your health!
- Brilliant thoughts to everyone this year!
When the audience is exhausted and the last toast is said, everyone should vote for the most successful or funniest toast and drink to the health of its author.
“Make your favorite cabbage”
Agree that the funniest new competitions for adults for the New Year should be held with the participation of couples. The essence of the entertainment is that one of the couple is blindfolded, after which he must blindly dress up his partner. Here you will need preliminary preparation - you need to put a variety of clothes in a large bag, preferably incompatible in style, color, etc. Thanks to this, the “outfit” will turn out to be very funny, it will cause fun among all the guests.
You can add competitive principles to this game by having different couples compete in dressing speed. And after the competition is over, until the wonderful outfits are taken off, you can pose in them for the camera.
"Snowballs"
Everyone's favorite funny New Year's competitions for children and adults, such as snowball fights, are especially win-win. Moreover, you can give yourself such pleasure without going outside. A large pile of old newspapers must be placed in front of each participant, after which the presenter times the time of 1 minute, during which the competitors must make as big a snowball as possible.
There is also a more dynamic version of the snowball fight, which is designed for accuracy. At the same time, the participants should be seated in a row and a personal bucket should be placed at an equal distance from each. Then, on command, everyone begins to crumple newspapers, forming “snowballs” and throwing them into their basket. After a minute or two, the game stops and the baskets are checked - the winner is the one whose catch is richer.
"Frost Breath"
For this fun activity, you need to line up everyone in front of an empty table, on which you place small snowflakes cut out of paper. Then, on command, all participants begin to blow as hard as they can on their snowflakes, trying to make them fall from the opposite end of the table. As soon as the last snowflake falls from the table, the competition ends. And the winner unexpectedly turns out to be the one whose snowflake lasted the longest on the table - all thanks to his frosty breath, because of which it froze to the table.
Be sure to take a couple of competitions from our article “Children’s competitions for the New Year”, then neither adults nor children will be bored.
"Secret Name"
Family New Year competitions on this topic can have two options. On the back of each family member participating in the game you need to attach a piece of paper on which his new name will be written (you can use the name of an animal or the name of a well-known person). And then, throughout the New Year's evening, all those gathered can hint to each other about new names. The one who is the first to guess what his name is now will be the winner of this fun competition.
In the second version of this game, everyone can ask leading questions about their name, but should only receive monosyllabic answers like “yes” or “no.” In the end, he will be able to guess his new name and then the turn to guess goes to the other player.
"MPS"
When choosing intellectual and funny New Year's competitions for the family at the table, you cannot pass by this entertainment:
A volunteer is selected from among the participants. The rules of the game are explained to all participants in the game - the guesser can ask any questions to anyone sitting at the table in any order, but will only receive “yes” and “no” answers. You should also not try to guess what MPS is by letter. Then the player leaves the room for a minute, and all participants are explained what an MPS is - this is my right neighbor. That is, each person sitting at the table should, when answering a question, keep in mind his neighbor to the right. Since each participant in the game has his own right neighbor, the answers to the same questions from different participants can be different (for example, for some it is a man, and for others it is a woman), which only confuses the guessing player. By the way, not everyone, in the end, manages to guess what MPS is.
Take a look at our article “Competitions for a New Year’s corporate party” - perhaps in it you will also find suitable competitions for the family circle.
"Surprise Ball"
Funny New Year competitions for families can play on wishes. To do this, you need to place scraps of paper with written wishes in rubber balls in advance and then inflate them. Each member of the household will choose the balloon they like, burst it and read out a wish for everyone for the coming year.
"Funny Numbers"
Everyone celebrating the holiday should be given a piece of paper and a pencil so that everyone can write any number. After this, the presenter begins to voice questions addressed to each specific person, and the answer will be the number written on the piece of paper. This requires appropriate questions such as:
- What time do you get up?
- How old are you?
- How many chili peppers can you eat in one sitting?
"Twins"
This game can be considered one of the funniest New Year competitions for the family. Couples of different generations should participate here: mother and son or father and daughter. The couple hugs the waist with one hand, while the other two hands remain free. In this state, the “Siamese twins” will need to cut out the figure: one will have to hold the paper, and the other will have to manipulate the scissors. The “Shiva” whose figurine turns out to be more successful will win.

It’s not for nothing that popular wisdom says: as you celebrate the New Year, that’s how it will be in the future. If you have no desire to be sleepy and sad for the next 12 months, New Year's meals should be diluted with entertaining leisure time. It is known that the Rooster is playful and cocky, so competitions for the New Year 2017 can be lively and mischievous.
Competition ideas for adults
For children, it’s not a problem to come up with a game literally on the fly, but it’s more difficult to surprise and amuse adults. Universal competitions are ideal for home gatherings:
- "Cool." The participants can be men; women are unlikely to want to take part in such a competition and ruin their makeup. There can be up to 5 people interested, 5 eggs are placed on a plate in front of them (less, depending on the number of players). They announce that 1 egg is raw, the rest are hard-boiled. The goal is to break all the eggs against your forehead and not retreat, since with each tested egg the tension rapidly increases. The secret of this fun competition for the New Year is that there is no raw egg among those offered, but there is a chance to get out of the game.
- "Homemade Santa Claus." Women are invited to choose their own Santa Claus, whom she should decorate in an interesting way using available materials: Christmas tree tinsel, garlands, toys. It is necessary to introduce creation with poems, sayings, and songs.
- Cheerful congratulations will add a unique flavor to the feast if prepared in advance. A prepared text with wishes is taken, adjectives are deliberately omitted. For example: “we would like to wish you this... new year.” Guests are invited to fill in the missing words - the congratulations will turn out funny and very funny.
- Statements can be organized alphabetically, inviting those present to make a toast starting with a specific letter: a, b, c. The player who comes up with the funniest wish will win this New Year's competition for adults.
- Guests are divided into teams, which are asked to find a way out of a difficult situation. It could be a plane suddenly without a pilot. Or the participant found himself in an unfamiliar city. Or after the crash the company found itself on a desert island. Opponents ask tricky questions that should be answered humorously.
- Merry New Year's fun will delight the Rooster, so imagination should be limitless. Balloons are taken and a note with a comic task is placed inside each one: crow, imitate the chimes, perform a dance, sing a song. Any tasks are designed to lift your spirits. The point of such a competition for the New Year 2017 is so that the Year of the Rooster passes with laughter. You have to pop the balls without using your hands, which makes the task more difficult and increases the fun.
- It would be useful to test the erudition of the guests by asking them to name films related to the New Year theme. The winner among adults will be the one who remembers the maximum number of artistic paintings dedicated to the winter family holiday.
Games for adults do not have to be vulgar, although there are participants who consider this quite acceptable after drinking alcohol. The goal of the competition should be a good mood, and not a large number of embarrassed and blushing ladies. 
For the whole family
Even in a narrow family circle you can find a way to have fun during the New Year holidays and please the Rooster:
- Associations. Ask them to name New Year's attributes in a circle: snow, gifts, Christmas tree. Whoever fails to find the word is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who remembers the largest number of associations. The game is suitable for children of any age if they already know how to talk.
- At the beginning of the holiday, distribute cards with tasks that must be completed at a certain time. The funny moments will be remembered for a long time: how suddenly dad cackled at the table, and the youngest member of the family suddenly began to sing a song.
- Prepare questions in advance that usually have correct answers. The highlight of the competition is to initially answer incorrectly and with a dose of humor. It is advisable to play at an accelerated pace, without giving time for reflection. The more ridiculous the answer, the more laughter it causes. For children, it is better to come up with easy questions so that the little participants do not get upset.
- Two holes are made in the cardboard sheet for the hands, after which a figure of your choice is drawn. It remains a big secret for children and adults what they draw; the author of the most successful masterpiece wins.
- Competitions for the New Year must be active. Snowflakes are cut out of paper according to the number of family members present at the table. You need to blow on the snowflakes, but the winner will be the one whose paper snowflake falls to the floor last.
- The task is given to imagine that everyone at the table is a Christmas tree. The presenter calls out the words: wide, low, high, and the participants must depict this Christmas tree. Whoever makes a mistake leaves the game, and the most attentive among children and adults wins.
- Competitions for close-knit families are usually intended for an even number of participants. The couple hugs their partner with one hand, while the other remains “working.” The task is to cut out a Christmas tree from colored paper: one holds the paper, the other holds scissors.
- You can temporarily entrust mom with the role of the Snow Maiden, and dad and the children will take turns giving her compliments. This will be a great opportunity for children to say kind words to their mother, and she will be pleased to hear so many flattering phrases addressed to her.
- Some New Year's competitions for the Year of the Rooster will test children's visual memory. Parents take them to the Christmas tree and ask them to remember the number and location of toys on the branches. After this, the guys leave the room, and mom and dad swap the toys or put them away. Returning children are asked to say what has changed on the forest beauty.
- New Year's competitions for young children and adults can be held with musical accompaniment. Play a quick melody and pass a small souvenir around in a circle. The movement stops when the music stops, and the winner is the one who remains last in the game.
You can involve children of all ages in competitions by choosing the best option. This will allow them to value family traditions and pass them on to future generations. 
Fun corporate event
In the office, it’s not always possible to get to know your colleagues better due to a busy work schedule. For this reason, most managers organize corporate gatherings so that the team becomes friends and discovers new facets and aspects of character in others. You can just sit at the table, eat and have small talk on any other day, and the New Year holidays under the auspices of the Rooster are simply bound to be fun. Fun competitions for adults will help with this:
- The invitees are divided into two identical teams. Opposite each of them are trays with an equal number of tangerines, and empty trays near the players. Each participant must run to the tray, put the fruit in a spoon and bring it to the empty one. It is important to keep the tangerine in the spoon, and the team that transfers all the fruits faster will win.
- Guests are divided into pairs (the number is arbitrary). Men wear a shirt over their clothes, and women wear men's gloves. Goal: fasten all the buttons as quickly as possible.
- New Year's competitions 2017 should excite the Rooster, so the task of adults is to succeed in this matter. A variety of things are pre-placed in a large bag: a bow, a scarf, a scarf, a scarf, a diaper, stockings, jewelry, hats. The funnier the items, the funnier the competition will be. Music is turned on at various intervals, after which the players pass the bag around the circle. Whoever the music stops on must pull an object out of the bag at random and put it on himself. By the end of the game, New Year's outfits will become original additions.
- Two teams are made up of the participants. One comes up with a word and calls it only to one player from among the opponents. He must use facial expressions and gestures to tell his team what the word is. After winning, the teams change roles. This game is not difficult for children, but adults will have a hard time due to complexes and tightness.
- Men can compete by inflating balloons at speed. In this case, women need to prepare for the loud pops that will be made by bursting balloons.
- Participants take part in the competition in pairs. Women must prepare a simple dish from food from the table, after which they quickly feed it to their male partner. The winner is the pair that completed the task faster than the others.
- Masks depicting characters from the animal world are used as props. The participant closes his eyes, a mask is put on his face - and, following the prompts of other guests, he must guess who he has been turned into.
- Guests take turns naming the things they would like to take with them into the New Year of the Rooster. Words must begin with the first letter of the participant's name. For example, Pavel will want to grab an amazing mood or a coat. It could be a certain object or feelings, sensations, emotions. The winner will be the one who names the most items.
- Participants divided into pairs wrap a gift. What's the catch? Only one hand of one player is used in the competition. The surprise is wrapped in a wrapper for time and speed.
