Fun for the little ones
In nature, there have long been New Year's family games for the little ones. They are harmless and funny, the main thing is not to forget that these games are for children and adults. Babies should never be left alone, so parents have significant roles in the children's feast.
"Guess the size"
All are 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 instance:
- What kind of elephant? They answer - big and raise their hands up.
- And what kind of fly? They answer - small and sit down.
- What house?
- And what kind of sandal?
- Balloon - which one?
- And what is the 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 presenter and a person who will be a fox are selected. And the kids will be bunnies. The one who leads says the following words:
"Our bunnies are galloping, on a large lawn, stomping with little legs, clapping with their little hands."
At this time, the little ones repeat what they are told. The author continues:
“Here comes a fox, a cunning sister. Come on, the bunnies, instantly scattered across the lawn! ".
And the fox catches hares. You can choose a chanterelle from among adolescents, if they succeed.
Cloth games
For these entertainments in the bosom of the family, you will need two parents and a four-meter white matter that will fulfill one or another role.
"Snowdrift"
Men, stretching the material in length, firmly holding from 4 ends, raise and lower it, as if shaking it. Everyone gets in line and tries to run under or over the cloth. Whoever gets 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 presenter should be told that when there is a strong storm 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 the baby in it and swing it like in a hammock. They get incredible pleasure from this adventure.
"Volleyball"
We 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 are stretching the fabric like a volleyball net. We launch the balls. The condition is this: the balls must always be in the air, the fall of the ball - minus a point. Children are ready to play this game for at least 20 minutes.
Mobile contests for the New Year's holiday
All kids adore the mobile contests for children. If the size of the room allows you to move actively at your family holiday, then you will need a good set of suitable entertainment.
"Snowballs"
Buckets and snowballs made of cotton wool, padding polyester or fabric are prepared in advance, which are dragged with rain or silver thread for beauty, as well as hardness.Those who participate are divided in half and stand in a line, back of head to back of head. Each is given two or three snowballs. At a distance of several steps, plastic buckets are placed, into which the players need to hit with snowballs. At the end there will be a counting, the team with the most snow wins.
"Rope Walkers"
Young and not very young guests are divided into two groups and stand behind each other, a snake. Large ropes are stretched in front of them. The competition takes place in several stages, each time increasing in complexity.
- Relay race. The first one walks along the rope without falling to the floor. Then, he goes back to the end of the rope, goes next.
- Snake. Grasping the belt ahead, the players must walk the tightrope in both directions.
- Participants turn their backs and one by one go the rope way back and forth, as in the first case.
Steps should always be small, especially when walking separately, large steps will not be read. Instead of large teams, it can be divided into families, but with an equal number of people.
"Cat and Mice"
You will need an elastic band of at least 3-4 meters, the ends of which must be tied. A cat is chosen, the rest stand in a circle inside the elastic band, which is lowered onto their ankles. The cat sits in the center and sleeps. Music sounds, everyone dances, they walk clockwise (another time you need to change direction), as soon as it turns off, the cat wakes up, and the mice must jump out of the rubber band. The last one left will be the cat.
Everyone again returns to the circle, we put the elastic band under our knees, the music sounds in the same way before the cat wakes up and the children jump out. Next time we place the rubber band on the belt, then on the back, then on the neck and last of all on the arms raised up. You can change the cat yourself every time or not change it at all.
"A family"
Divide the participants into two halves and give out along a long rope. Everyone must tie themselves to a rope and pass to another player in their group. You need to tie it in loops or holes, but not by the hand or by the belt. And all the more you need to make sure that no one tied himself around the neck. When the team is tied, they should shout out the code word: "Family."
Calm New Year games for children
If the size of the apartment does not allow running fast and noisy, you can keep the young contingent busy with calmer entertainment.
"Ring"
The one who will look for the ring is chosen and goes out the door. The players stand in a circle, someone is hiding a ring for themselves, everyone's hands are behind their backs. The outgoing participant is invited, stands in the center of the circle and determines which of them has a ring by the eyes. In fact, it is easier than it seems, because children immediately give themselves away with their eyes and facial expressions.
"Rostomer"
We take any oblong objects and begin to measure all the heroes. How much will someone grow in cucumbers? How much growth will there be in the pillows? And how much will the growth be in the pens? Here are some examples for this family game:
- in bananas;
- in apples;
- in soap bubbles;
- in balloons;
- in glasses;
- in spoons;
- in typewriters.
To make it more fun for them, they can come up with how to measure themselves. For completeness, everyone needs to be given a metric. Prepare beautiful postcards in advance, where to write: "My height" and list some items, and then enter the numbers. You just need to do it right away, so as not to forget who has what sizes.
"It's me!"
The elders will ask questions, and the children must answer - "I"! Trick questions, but they won't expect it, at least not at first.
Who planted the flowers?Who helped grandma?
Who got deuces?Who cleaned the kitchen?
Who went for a walk with the dog?
Who didn't help mom?Who was neat?
Thank you?
Have you forgotten your briefcase at home?Tidied up after yourself in the woods?
Did you pull the girl by the braid?
Who's picking your nose?Who helped the parents?
Did you clean everything up after yourself?
Who painted on the wallpaper?Who said hello?
Did you break the glass?
Who walked through the puddles?
Who has dirty ears?
After the game, the participants must be praised.
Board games for the New Year's holiday
For a calm and small company, calm New Year's games at the family table are offered.
At the table, too, as it turned out, people have fun. This can happen virtually without interrupting the holiday treat. New Year's games at the family table, of course, will be more intellectually in nature, but no less exciting.
"Detectives"
Without warning about the goal, children are blindfolded and asked questions:
- How is the New Year's table set? That is, they must remember what is on it, what dishes, what plates, glasses, glasses, etc.
- How many boys and girls are there at the table?
- What are the names of those at the table?

You can also connect the older generation to the game, many will really like this entertainment. Only at the table with the family should be more careful with the kids.
Fortune Lottery
The lottery can be held at the table. On small pieces of paper, write the names of the participants several times and put them in capsules from under the kinder surprises. Place in a large box or drum if available. The facilitator then asks a question and takes out a name. Examples of questions:
Who this year:

Funny and funny predictions for 2022 can be invented indefinitely, as long as none of them is offensive. In such games, the younger generation is always agitated and suspicious, even with the family. And here is a children's New Year's lottery in verse.
Family workshops
Also, for little 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 the products will need to be prepared in advance).
- New Year's toys;
- noise orchestra.
- New Year's poster.
All props must be safe and already prepared for the arrival of guests to a family celebration.
Finally
Both family table games and outdoor games are prepared in advance. All adults can be involved in preparation by giving them assignments. Since we are dealing with children, don't forget about the prizes. Do not forget that children are overworked during the 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.
