The presenter makes funny riddles. Each person who guesses gets a token. Whoever has the most chips wins.
Examples:
Why does everyone constantly walk around the Christmas tree? (by gender).
Who will be the first to get up on the first of January? (Someone who wants to use the restroom).
Where do all roads lead up to and including the fourteenth of January? (To the fridge).
11 tangerines grew on the Christmas tree. Vasily Eduardovich ate 3 tangerines. How many tangerines are left? (Not at all - tangerines do not grow on a Christmas tree).
What are we all sitting here for? (At the table).
What happens if a full glass of champagne is diluted with a glass of vodka? (There will be a stain, the glass is full.)

Also, these may not be riddles, but the first words of the most famous poems. The host calls the first word, who will continue (preferably at least a couple of lines) to that chip. For example:

The essence of the competition: Participants go on stage. Women stand in a row, a man opposite them and with his back to them.The host slowly explains the rules while the first assistant slowly blindfolds the man. The other three assistants “decorate” the women: one of the participants needs to wear glasses and a wig (the hairstyle and hair length should be different from natural ones), the second - a mustache and a hat, and attach the third. Women need to dress up quickly, there must be silence in the hall so that the man does not suspect a dirty trick.
The man is brought to the participants. You can only touch the head, face, neck. A blindfolded man must recognize his companion by touching the participants only above the shoulders.

Alphabet of congratulations (wishes)
The essence of the competition: each guest must come up with a toast / congratulations / wish, starting with a certain letter of the alphabet.
You can make the competition more interesting and unpredictable by using a poster with an alphabet and a pre-prepared hat with a large number of numbers (from 5 to 10, but others can be optional). So, the first guest says a toast to the letter "A" and draws a number to convey the initiative.The next guest speaking a toast / congratulations / wish is counted according to the seating arrangement, taking into account the extended number. They also determine the letter that has fallen out to him, counting it in the alphabet.
You can also offer to draw out an additional phantom, which determines what exactly is worth saying, a toast, a wish or a congratulation.
Here are original examples for congratulations starting with different letters of the alphabet:
Biography of Santa Claus
The essence of the contest: everyone knows that Santa Claus has a granddaughter - the Snow Maiden, which means that his wife and daughter were somewhere behind the scenes. Guests are invited to break into groups and make up a fun original story of the family of the main New Year's wizard.
The company with the most original story wins.
If you wish, you can offer not just to write a story, but to play a small scene, giving the companies attributes that indicate each of the possible heroes of the story.
Collective congratulations
The essence of the competition: the team is divided into teams and they offer each to make their own original congratulations according to the proposed template so that it would be as unusual and original as possible. The most creative win.
Of course, you can come up with your own thematic template. This approach will be especially interesting for a corporate party if people united by one profession gather at the table.

The winner is determined by the audience, evaluating how original the participant presented his character.
Features of the heroes are described below:

- fabulous three-headed dragon;
- traditional Chinese dragon.

Fun entertainment "For the joy of the Dragon"
Some New Year contests for 2024 are associated with the symbol of the year - the Dragon. Let this small entourage give the holiday an atmosphere and set the company up for good events and good news in the year.
Everyone is welcome to participate. Props: cuts of funny music for a maximum of half a minute, a soft dragon toy.
Participants stand in a circle. While the music is playing, you need to randomly throw a toy to another participant. The host abruptly turns off the music - whoever has a toy in his hands is “fed” to the dragon in order to appease him for the whole year. The one who stays "alive" wins.
Christmas game for children "What the Dragon is guarding"
Before the youngest guests go to bed, have time to hold a children's competition. According to the following scenario, it can be implemented even if there is only one child at the party.
All interested children participate. Props: many small household items, one at a time (soap, a tube of cream, small watches, small toys, keys with a keychain, etc.); several or one "jewel" (toy bracelet, beads, emerald stones, etc.).
The presenter shows a full bag and says:
- It's the Year of the Dragon. And every self-respecting dragon should have jewelry and jewelry in his power, which he will protect and protect. In this bag, among the simple everyday things, 5 (for example) treasures were lost. Children, who dares to find them to put under the tree as a gift to our dragon?
Children go to the leader who explains the rules:
- Whoever puts their hand in the bag has only 5 seconds. You need to take one thing and get it. Try to find out and get exactly the jewel. So we will take it in turn until we find all 5 treasures.
The presenter is counting the seconds. When a child takes out soap / toothpaste / handkerchief or something else besides treasures, the host should play it interestingly:
- The dragon will bathe all year with this soap. By this clock will determine the time and go for a walk. Rub this cream on your cheeks. Play with this toy, and give this toy for his brother's birthday.
At the end of the game, the presenter can give prizes to everyone, or he can distribute treasures for storage (if their number allows), taking the word from them to take care of jewelry like the apple of an eye.
Don't forget to include contests for the New Year in the holiday schedule - with them in the morning you will not only have a headache, but also your cheekbones.
