How to celebrate the New Year at home with your family in an interesting and fun way

New Year has long been considered a family holiday. This holiday was not customary to meet separately. On the contrary, the whole family tried to gather at the same table on New Year's Eve.

Nowadays, many are bored and not interested in celebrating this holiday at home, they celebrate either in restaurants or at some resorts, or at a party. But those who still appreciate traditions and celebrate the New Year at home know that this holiday brings relatives closer.

Since 2019 is considered the year of the Yellow Earth Pig (Boar) according to the eastern calendar. And the pig loves his family and friends very much, often sacrificing his own interests for their sake. Then, all the more so, you need to reunite all relatives and have fun, for the joy of the boar.

In order for the meeting of this holiday to be equally fun for all generations, you should prepare in advance for this holiday. After all, the meeting of the New Year is not limited to one magnificent feast, but also includes various games, dances, as well as congratulations with gifts.

Consider a scenario for celebrating the new year, which is equally suitable for both young people and the older generation.

Home scenario:

1. Feast - 18-00.

You need to start celebrating the new year, of course, with a festive feast. But so that a plentiful feast does not grow into extra pounds at the waist, you should prepare light, but at the same time tasty, hearty and elegant dishes. A buffet table is perfect for such an evening. After a small buffet with salads and snacks, you can proceed to the next step.

2. Watching your favorite New Year's movies 19-00.

Over the years, films such as The Irony of Fate. Or with light steam”, “Operation Y”, as well as “Prisoner of the Caucasus” do not go out of fashion. They are so loved by everyone that their viewing is often associated with the new year, and their comedy genre will cheer everyone up. So why not refresh your memory and watch your favorite movies again. Children can be offered to watch children's New Year's comedies "Home Alone", "Christmas Santa" and others.

3. Dinner at 21-00.

After watching the movie, everyone is probably already hungry. You can proceed to a festive dinner, with a more plentiful feast.

I can also suggest watching a video clip in which 5 more interesting and interesting ideas are proposed. funny contests for the New Year for adults and children:

5. Exchange of gifts and congratulations 23-00.

Having played enough and under the charter, you can start congratulating and exchanging gifts. Perhaps this is the most favorite activity for adults and children. In advance, put all the gifts in a large bag or box, sign what is intended and for whom. Let everyone recite a poem and receive a gift in return.

6. Champagne 23-59.

What a new year without champagne, this one without exception. Open champagne to the chimes and crackers, congratulate each other on the new year.

Surely many are already a little hungry, you can start dessert. It’s good to watch New Year’s programs for sweets - tasty and fun.

That's all for me! I hope that my script for the new year came to your liking.

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

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

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

It is better to come up with contests in advance, taking into account the taste of the invited guests.

So, for example, if a company likes to play cards, then it is not at all necessary to play the already known “nine” or “fool”. You can buy a set of poker chips and master this game loved by many people around the world. To do this, you need to explain the rules to everyone, and then you can arrange an impromptu poker tournament.

It is more convenient, easier and more fun to hold games and contests with simple rules and minimum props. The only condition is that there must always be a person who organizes the game and explains its rules to all participants.

What's in the bag?

This game can be played when you have just arrived at the guest house, holiday cottage and unloaded the bags. The facilitator takes a bag of groceries and, without taking out the item, describes it in words: color or shape, what it is for, what history happened to a similar item, and the like. He says it is necessary so that the guessers suffer a little, and do not immediately give the correct answer. The one who guesses receives the item, and with it the task. If it is bread, then cut it. If it’s canned food, then open it, if it’s an apple, then wash it, if it’s coal, put on a barbecue ... And it’s fun, and everyone will be in business.

I am a moon rover

To participate in this game, you can already accept a little, because it requires some courage. The leader (volunteer or chosen one) gets on all fours and, moving on four bones, quite seriously says: “I am one lunar rover, peak-peak I start the reception ...” The one who laughs joins him and becomes lunar rover number two. So gradually the whole company becomes moon rovers, and the one who does not laugh wins. The lunar rover's phrase can be expanded: "... going to the lunar base for refueling." In a word, improvisation will only enhance the "ha-ha" effect.

"ABC".

The meaning of this game is as follows: in a circle, starting with the first letter of the alphabet, i.e., from A, and further alphabetically, those sitting at the table say a congratulation phrase. For example: A - “And I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year!” And so on ... Sometimes very funny phrases are obtained :).

"Mummy"

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

A la towns

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

Zoo

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

"Seventh heaven".

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

"Bridge".

Test for coordination of movements. Participants alternately need to go in a straight line, never leaving it. The complexity of the task lies in the fact that before starting the path it is necessary to perform a simple movement: Grasping the left ear through the knee with the right hand, make 3 circles around its axis.

Line-ball.

Participants are divided into 2 groups, each of them is given a large canvas, which is used for a collective throw of the ball. One of the subgroups receives the ball. Task: to transfer the ball from one canvas to another without dropping it.

"Reindeer Harnesses".

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

"Snowballs".

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

What other outdoor activities can be in nature?

Taking a snow town, riding down a hill and making a snowman

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

Sledding, skiing, ice skating

Snowmobiling

Sky lantern launch

Generator soap bubbles(in winter, they freeze and become patterned, like on windows)

Flappers, boom fetti.

Meat on a spit, barbecue

Hot mulled wine in Samovar or in thermoses

Dumplings, pancakes with caviar, pies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also ask each guest to bring some kind of wish in an envelope, which will go to one of the other guests. All envelopes are mixed, each person who makes a toast takes one of them, reads it out - and undertakes to fulfill the chosen one. Wishes can be calculated both for immediate fulfillment (from the banal “sing a song about a Christmas tree” to an exotic wish to drink, for example, a glass of cognac, vodka, champagne and coffee in one gulp), and for the entire current year (to marry, give birth, become deputy of the regional duma, etc.). In a year, you will conduct a debriefing and see who really knows how to keep their word.

Immediately after midnight, everyone together for a short time to go out into the yard - just shout, relieve the tension that has accumulated over the year. This is what Japanese workaholics do, and this simple method is quite effective. Having thrown off the negative of the last year in this way, we return to the warmth, to the already set table. By the way, what's on the table? A good new year is in the Russian folk style or with classic "Soviet traditions", but if this is already "pall", the "ethnic" approach will help to make the New Year's table more original. Prepare dishes, for example, only from Hungarian, Argentinean or other little-known cuisines. It is not difficult to do this - there are a lot of culinary guides now. Preparing such a table will not only bring more pleasure than routine salads, but will also significantly expand the "arsenal" of the hostess for the future. For guests, the "ethnic table" will give completely new sensations, which is fully consistent with the very idea of ​​New Year's Eve. If the company is large and the organization of the table requires joint participation, you can agree in advance that each guest or family will prepare some kind of "ethnic" dish, a national drink, the serving of which may be accompanied by some national traditions.

Then I can offer to play "Yudashkin". Guests are divided into two teams. In both teams, they choose a “model” - a girl, preferably of a slender build, so that there is more flight for fantasy. Each team dresses the girl in the most funny way in 3-4 minutes, puts everything on her, from fur coats to nesting dolls. Dressed, appreciated, photographed - and now we undress the girl, and for a while. Without fanaticism, to the original state.

While dressing the girl, the guests have already got to know the house where everything is happening – it's time to play “tax inspector”. We choose two leaders who take turns ordering the participants to bring some items that are definitely in the apartment. Usually children take part in the game with pleasure. The team that will lay down more items at the feet of a stern taxman wins.

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

Happy New Year to you!

Ask any child about their favorite holiday and you will hear the unanimous opinion, of course - the New Year. This day, or rather the night, everyone is waiting for as a miracle. After all, Grandfather Frost will come to them and fulfill the most cherished desires.

To prevent young guests from being bored in an adult company, you should consider an event plan for them as well. Games for the New Year for the family can be very different: mobile, calm, intellectual, but this will depend on the age and temperament of those who gather at the festive table. The main thing is to meet the year 2020 with family and close people, and not in a working environment.

Entertainment for the little ones

In nature, there have long been New Year's family games for the little ones. They are harmless and cheerful, most importantly, do not forget that these games are for children and adults. Kids should never be left alone, so parents have significant roles in the children's feast.

"Guess the Size"

Everyone is lined up in a semicircle and a leader is chosen who thinks of an inanimate or animate object, and the players show its size.

For example:

• What elephant? They answer - big and raise their hands up.
• And what is a fly? They answer - small and sit down.
• House - what?
• What about a sandal?
• Balloon - what?
• What about a soccer ball?

After a couple of words (depending on the number of children), the leader should be changed so that everyone tries himself in this role.

"Bunny"

From the parents whose families are present at the festive table, a leader and a person who will be a fox are selected. And the kids will be bunnies. The one who leads says these words:

“Our bunnies are jumping, on a large lawn, stomping with their scissors, clapping their hands.”

At this time, the little ones repeat what they say to them. The author continues:

“Here comes a fox, a cunning little sister. Come on, the bunnies immediately ran across the lawn!

And the fox catches the hares. You can choose a fox from teenagers, if they succeed.

Cloth games

For these entertainments in the family circle, you will need two parents and a four-meter white matter that will perform one role or another.

"Snowdrift"

Men, having stretched the material in length, holding it firmly from 4 ends, raise and lower it, as if shaking it. Everyone gets in line and tries to run under or over the cloth. Anyone who is caught will be wrapped in cloth and tickled. Of course, you should be very careful with tickling, because we are talking about fragile kids.

Buran

The host needs to be told that when there is a strong snowstorm in winter, a person can even be torn off the ground and carried away. Two men hold a piece of material at both ends, catch a baby in it and swing it like in a hammock. They enjoy this adventure immensely.

"Volleyball"

Inflate at least ten balloons. Children are divided into teams, if there are few of them, you can invite parents or other family members. Two people stretch the fabric like a volleyball net. We launch balls. The condition is this: the balls must always be in the air, the fall of the ball is a minus point. Children are ready to play this game for at least 20 minutes.

Mobile contests for the New Year holiday

Family workshops

Also for small people you can come up with various creative workshops. For example, it could be a workshop:

• modeling;
• applications;
• little cooks: you can make a salad or pizza together (of course, all products will need to be prepared in advance).
• New Year's toys;
• noise orchestra.
• New Year's poster.

All props must be safe and ready for the arrival of guests at the family celebration.

Finally

Both table family games and outdoor games are prepared in advance. All adults can be involved in the preparation by giving them tasks. Since we are dealing with children, do not forget about the prizes. We should not forget that children overwork in the process of fun and get tired quickly. 40-60 minutes of active action will be enough for them. Then you can feed them and move on to intellectual or creative games for children and adults.

Family New Year: games for children and adults, contests, script, free printables.

family new year

For our family, the New Year is not only a feast under the Christmas tree, but also pleasant moments of communication with each other. And without interesting competitions, riddles and various unexpected magical surprises and notions, the New Year holidays lose their charm. And in creativity, the family unites and inspiration and new ideas are born!

We usually prepare the holiday very quickly - literally in a few hours on the last New Year's Eve days. We cook along the way, discussing it on the way to the store or in transport, as well as at night, so that no one hears anything from our surprises. And costumes are born from various improvised things. Baba Yaga appears from an ordinary dressing gown, a scarf on her head and a broom or mop in her hands. Snowman - from a sheet stretched over a gymnastic hoop, on which snowflakes are sewn. Koschey - from a tracksuit, a swimming cap on his head and a couple of lines of makeup on his face. Such characters do not scare and are very funny, amuse everyone.

This is not a fictional script, this is a sincere humorous family holiday in the home circle or with guests. It is performed without rehearsals and is based on improvisation.

Scenario family new year number 1.

We played out this scenario in the upcoming 2015 New Year. But you can use it not only on New Year's Eve, but also on any day when guests with children come to your house.

Let's start like this.

Action 1. New Year's letter from Koshchei.

When the New Year comes and it's time to find gifts under the tree, guests find a very beautiful festive envelope under the tree. Joyful, they open the envelope and read the message. And there!!! No, it's not New Year's greetings! In the envelope, instead of congratulations, there is a letter from Koshchei the Deathless!

It's like, "Happy New Year! Hahaha! Do you want gifts? Ha! You will not have a happy new year! I stole Santa Claus and hid New Year's happiness in a hot country. Soon Santa Claus will melt! You won't find anything! Koschei. (You can download this letter by clicking on the link and print it on a printer on a sheet of A4 paper) -

Action 2. New Year's trip around the countries.

We need to go save Santa Claus and we go on a trip to look for a hot country, Santa Claus and New Year's happiness. Along the way we come to different countries and in games we learn a lot of interesting and funny things about them.

The first game. Let's all play together first. "Guess it." Questions are asked about how the new year is celebrated in different countries. In the game you need to guess if it's true or not. If it's a lie, then you need to correct it to the truth. Similar questions can be asked about Christmas.

Examples of tasks for the game:

- In Italy, there is a tradition at the very last minute before the New Year to throw broken dishes, old clothes and even furniture out of the window. Is it true or not?

— In Germany, Santa Claus comes to the children on an elephant. Is it true or not? If not on an elephant, then on what? Guess :-).

Tasks for this game on a holiday (questions and correct answers to them) You can free download

With young children, in the course of this game, you can depict how we either fly on an airplane, or ride a train, or sail on a ship from one country to another. And adults will guess. So we will occupy both children and adults in this game.

Second game. Rubbish. In the game you have to guess the meaning of the words. As a linguodidact by profession (i.e. a person involved in language teaching methods), I could not help but include humorous language puzzles for adults in the script. Almost all adult guests asked to give them tasks from this game in order to play later with their guests :). Therefore, be prepared - and print out several copies of the tasks for the game in advance.

Examples of tasks for this game. Guess what it is?

- What is "toadstool" in translation from Czech language: a) a poisonous mushroom, b) buckwheat, c) an unpleasant incident?

- What is "bun" in translation from Bulgarian: a) homemade cakes, b) fat woman, c) bride, d) cake?

Want to know the answers? Then download the questions and answers from the links below:

You can play this game not only during the New Year holidays, but also at any family holiday.

While we are guessing these 12 questions, we are moving through the fairy forest to the fairy hut. The travel map helps us with this. The correct answer to one question of the game of nonsense is our one step forward to the hut. We move the chip across the field.

Action number 3. Tasks of Baba - Yaga.

We find ourselves in the hut of Baba Yaga. Yes, it was she who was drawn on our travel map. We remember how to get into the hut and all together we ask the hut to turn "back to the forest, and front to me."

Baba-Yaga meets us very politely and in a fabulous way: “You are my killer whales, where did you come from? On what business did the boyars and merchants pass by my hut?

She agrees to help us in search of Santa Claus and New Year's happiness, but only if we complete her tasks.

Baba Yaga gives a separate task to adults and children.

The task for children is riddles - tricks. They are constructed in such a way that some of the riddles require an answer in rhyme, and some - not in rhyme. You need to be careful and not make a mistake! Not only children, but also their mothers and even fathers are happy to guess tricks. And adults make mistakes just as often as children!

You can give chips for correct answers in this game (if even 7 people answered correctly at the same time, we give each of them a chip). At the end of the game, we count the chips and give out small surprises to everyone who has at least one chip.

Riddles - rhyming tricks alternate with regular riddles to confuse players. It is possible in snags to specifically pronounce the first syllable of the wrong word aloud.

The task for adults is a question-and-answer game. You need to tell the whole truth about yourself in this game.

You will need:

- printed tickets with questions and answers for the game (download them from the link below, print them out on a printer and cut them so that there is only one question or one answer on one narrow strip),

- two opaque gift bags. Put the questions in one bag and the answers in the other.

How to play:

The first player pulls out one strip with questions from the bag with questions and reads it aloud to the player sitting to his left. The second player pulls out his answer to this question from the answer bag.

Very funny combinations often turn out. We have this game going through several circles, because everyone really likes it.

In this game, children can help adults by pulling strips from bags. Many kids do it with great pleasure.

Action 4. Baba-Yaga's riddle.

For completing tasks, we receive help from Baba Yaga. Like this one:

In our case, we hid the letter under the largest flower in the house (the rose). Under the flower - a cart - a wheelchair. There was a note under the gurney. So we came up with this riddle:

“Find the biggest tree in the whole area (meaning in the apartment). Under the tree is a magical item. It contains 4 skewers, 2 sticks and 1 bed. Today he is here, tomorrow he is there. Under this item you will find a helper.

And you can come up with your own riddle. Here riddle form, in which you yourself can fill the frame -

Action 5. We get an assistant and a hint in our hands.

In our agreed place of the apartment (under our cart with a large rose) we find an assistant - a hint. It contains another mystery. And in it is a clue about where Santa Claus is hidden by Koshchei and our happiness in the coming year.

The riddle is complicated: “There are blue flowers on an iron flowerbed - they help to cook any food.” If the players do not guess, then below there is a riddle - a hint, from which it is immediately clear that the hot country is ... in our kitchen! Next to the stove or in the stove! Let's go there!

(My husband and I thought for a long time where to hide the gifts - and decided that the hot country is clearly only a stove, or rather, an oven. We came up with the riddle ourselves).

Action 6. We save Santa Claus and find New Year's happiness.

We come to the kitchen and find there another sheet with tasks. It turns out that Santa Claus is guarded by security. And we need to speak her teeth to save them. We play tongue twisters - “we speak the teeth of the guard”, at the same time we find out and discuss what this expression of the Russian language means (to distract the interlocutor with extraneous conversations). You can take any tongue twisters for this game. We had these this year.

After passing through the security, we find ourselves at the stove. And we find in it a bag with a toy Santa Claus and gifts, as well as another bag called "New Year's Happiness".

What is this bag of happiness - I'll tell you more. It contains New Year's wishes. Each wish is printed on a piece of paper. A sheet of paper is wrapped several times (as a result, a dense lump of 2-3 cm is obtained) and packed in corrugated colored paper (like in a bag). The pouch is tied with a gold narrow ribbon. Everyone pulls out their bag, unties it and reads out what they have for a wish for the new year.

Wishes can be different - you can find them on the Internet and change them a little - rhyme for your family.

For example:

Wish 1. “Many incidents await you
And interesting trips -
On courses, on vacation, abroad -
Where will fate decide!

Wish 2. “You have to, my friend, and henceforth
Burn with creative work.
But you won't burn your wings,
Take care of your health!”

Wish 3. “Your hairstyle, appearance
We will all be pleasantly surprised.
Since then you will continue
Everything is prettier and younger!”

Scenario of the family new year number 2.

If you are going to visit, it will be difficult to fully implement the first scenario without prior preparation. But that doesn't mean games are cancelled. You can play different games right at the table.

What can be done at a home holiday away:

- play in question and answer game(see description and download file above).

- And also to play the games described above: "Bullshit", "Guess: a journey through the countries" and in "Riddles - snags". For the correct answer in each of these games, we give chips to each player who said the correct answer. If five people answered unanimously correctly, then we give an encouraging chip to each of the five. At the end of the game, we count the chips. Whoever scored the most chips - he gets the right to be the first to take a bag of happiness and read out a wish from it aloud so that it comes true.

- play a game Activity (ready desktop - print game).

- play in games "Convolution", "Changeling", "Win-win lottery". We played these games last New Year, so we didn’t repeat ourselves. And you can read about these and others fun games with guests at a family holiday in the article
