New Year is a holiday of childhood, when adults with nostalgia remember the time when they were children, how merrily they all decorated the Christmas tree, the smell of the Christmas tree and tangerines, and huge bags of gif.webpts with sweets. In order for children to remember New Year's Eve as a time of miracles and surprises, adults need to think over all the nuances in advance. You need to think about New Year's gif.webpts, congratulations from Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, sweets for children, as well as various New Year's contests and games so that children do not get bored at the holiday.
What adults should think about beforehand
Children in modern times are different from those who could be surprised by the arrival of Santa Claus and a round dance around the tree. Now children are waiting for something unusual that can really cheer them up. It is important to consider at what age the children will come up with an entertainment program. Younger children will be fascinated by outdoor games and competitions, and older children will enjoy intellectual entertainment. Teenagers love jokes, gags, noisy parties.
When coming up with New Year's contests for children, you need to think over everything to the smallest detail. You may need additional paraphernalia, which should be taken care of in advance. You also need to decide who will be the host of children's contests. Perhaps it is worth inviting a professional animator, or one of the adults can cope with this task.
Contests for preschool children
This is perhaps the most difficult audience. On the one hand, it is very easy for preschool children to get involved in something. But, on the other hand, they may not understand the terms of the competitions, or, if something does not work out, they may be very upset. Children's New Year's contests should be as simple as possible so that the kids can have a lot of fun.
Make the princess laugh
Santa Claus goes out to the children alone, without the Snow Maiden. He says that she is lost, and only Princess Nesmeyana knows where to find the Snow Maiden. Nesmeyana comes out, constantly whimpers and wipes away tears with a handkerchief. The children need to make Nesmeyanu laugh so that she tells where the Snow Maiden is. Kids will happily make funny faces, show tongues, tickle a sad princess.
New Year's cap
Children get up in a round dance around Santa Claus. To a New Year's song, they pass each other a festive cap. As soon as the music ends, whoever has a cap in his hands must complete the task of Santa Claus. Naturally, the tasks should be simple: sing a song, dance, tell a rhyme. All parents prepare in advance for the New Year's holidays with their children, learn poems and New Year's songs. For each completed task, Santa Claus gives the participant a gif.webpt.
Decorating a Christmas tree
This competition will require two artificial Christmas trees and two boxes of shatterproof toys. Children are divided into two teams. At the command of Santa Claus, the members of each team, one by one, run up to their Christmas tree and hang one toy on it. The next participant also decorates the tree with one toy. Whose tree will be dressed up faster, that team won. Prizes should be given to both the winning team and the losing team so that no one gets upset.
Competitions for children 6-9 years old
Children in this age range are still too mobile, but they also become interested in intellectual and creative tasks. Children really want to show their talents, skills and knowledge, and with this in mind, it is necessary to choose suitable contests for the new year for children of this age.
Carnival costumes
All children love to transform into heroes of their favorite movies and cartoons.Children should be advised in advance to wear a carnival costume on New Year's Eve. In the midst of a festive evening, Santa Claus must choose the best carnival costume. And for this, each child makes a presentation of his costume, showing the hero he represents. For example, sing a song or dance like his hero. There should be as many nominations as the number of children involved. For example, you can think of the following nominations:
- The most fun costume
- Most creative costume
- The most beautiful carnival costume, etc.
What are the Christmas trees
Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden tell us what kind of trees there are: high, wide, narrow, low, etc. Children should show with their hands which trees they are describing. For example, if they talk about a tall tree, children raise their hands high. Anyone who confused and incorrectly showed the tree is eliminated from the competition.
Throwing snowballs at the target
Children are very fond of outdoor games and competitions. If it snowed on New Year's Eve, you can hold the next competition. Come up with a target that the children should try to hit with snowballs.
Unusual snowman
Children are invited to mold a snowman, and then decorate it in some unusual way. The options can be as follows:
- Tie a snowman a bright scarf
- Wear an unusual hat or hat on him
- To attach a bow to the snow woman
- Hang a snowman's purse, etc.
Competitions for children 10-12 years old
Soon, children will become teenagers, but at this age they still love funny contests where you can have fun and laugh enough. New Year's games and contests for children of this age can be like this.
Creative competition
Children of this age will be happy to complete some creative task. For example, draw a Snow Maiden from the future, or make a Christmas tree from paper, foil, paper clips and other stationery. Adults can also participate in this competition with children.
Collective drawing
Participants are divided into two teams. Place a large sheet of paper in front of each team. The first participant approaches the sheet, draws a head and folds the sheet so that the next child does not see what the previous participant drew. Thus, all parts of the body are drawn, and then the sheet unfolds, and you can laugh heartily when you see a drawn person. The team with the funniest person wins.
Who will grab faster
Children stand around the table, on which all kinds of accessories are laid out:
- New Year masks
- Party Hats
- Tinsel
- Crown
- Wigs, etc.
To the music, the participants walk around the table, and as soon as the music stops playing, you need to quickly grab any accessory and put it on yourself. Anyone who did not have time to do this is eliminated from the game. The accessories are laid out on the table and the competition continues until there is only one winner left.
Competitions for children 12-15 years old
These are already teenagers, and they can be offended if they are called children. Contests for adolescents should be fun, humorous, and it is desirable that both children and adults participate in them.
Guessing
A sign with the name of the animal (zebra, parrot, dog, hare, etc.) is attached to the participant's back. He should ask leading questions:
- Do I have a tail?
- Am I striped?
- Do I eat grass?
- Do I have wings?
Instead of animals, you can use heroes from movies, cartoons, fairy-tale characters.
Crocodile
This game is fun for both adults and children. The presenter distributes leaflets to all participants, each of which has a word associated with the new year written on it:
- Santa Claus
- Sleigh
- Snowman
- A bag with presents
- New year fireworks
- Olivier salad
- Bengal lights
- Christmas garland, etc.
Each participant must show without words, with only gestures, what is written on the card. Whoever makes it more original is declared the winner.
Forfeits
The good old competition will appeal to both adults and teenagers.The facilitator collects one item from each of the participants and puts them in a large hat. Pulling out the object so that it cannot be seen, he asks: "What needs to be done to this phantom?" You can come up with a wide variety of tasks, the main thing is to make it fun.
Who will name more New Year's films
Participants are divided into two teams, and each in turn has to name one film with a New Year theme. The team that cannot name the film loses. There are a lot of New Year's movies, but you can't use the Internet. You yourself need to remember more movie titles.
Fulfillment of desires
Teenagers often really want romance, and this competition will help make New Year's Eve more romantic. Everyone present at the holiday writes his most cherished wish on a piece of paper, folds it up and ties it to a balloon. After everyone has written their wishes, the company goes out into the street with the balloons and together releases them into the sky. Firstly, this is a very beautiful action, and secondly, the wish must necessarily come true in the coming year.
Competitions for children for the new year 2018
Since the coming year will be held under the dominance of the Earth Dog, contests for children for the new year can be associated with this kind animal, which is very fond of children of all ages. Also, do not forget that the dog loves fun entertainment, noisy contests and delicious gif.webpts.
Dog Tail Competition
Children line up one after another, the first participant is the dog's face, and the last is its tail. All children should hold each other so that the dog's body does not fall apart. The presenter announces the task - the tail must catch up with the muzzle, while the children must not let go of each other. Every child should have a tail so that everyone will try to catch up with the dog's face.
Competition "Cut your prize"
Two participants are holding a rope on which small gif.webpts are hung. Each needs to take turns cutting off the gif.webpt while blindfolded. The task is complicated by the fact that the rope with the suspended prizes can be raised and lowered.
Dog Nose Competition
On a piece of paper, you need to draw a dog's face without a nose. Participants must, blindfolded, stick a plasticine nose on the muzzle. Before completing the task, you should twist the participant. The one who coped with the task best wins.
Expand the wrapper competition
The toy dog is wrapped in many layers of paper beforehand. The participant is given a box and a riddle is asked. If he guessed it, you can remove one layer of the packaging and guess the next riddle. If the riddle is not guessed, the prize is transferred to the next participant. Whoever gets to the toy receives it as a prize.
In each competition, prizes must be awarded, which adults must take care of in advance. For the New Year of the Dog, of course, the best gif.webpts will be soft toys-dogs, figurines in the form of puppies, notebooks, pens, notebooks with the image of dogs.
