New Year is just around the corner. An important component of an exciting and happy holiday- competitions for the New Year. They unite and force event participants to be active.
Some competitions are of a gaming nature, others are for ingenuity, others are for dexterity or ingenuity. Do not forget about the existence of erotic competitions that are suitable for relaxed people.
If you want the New Year's holiday to be remembered for a long time, be sure to include several exciting competitions in the New Year's program. The photographs taken during the process will remind you of this evening and the joyful atmosphere many years later.
The most fun contests for the New Year
I offer 6 fun competitions. With their help, you will cheer up the company, raise your spirits to the maximum, and make the holiday group more active.
- “New Year's fishing”. You will need Christmas tree decorations made of cotton wool, a fishing rod with big hook. Participants in the competition will have to take turns hanging New Year's toys on the street, and then remove them. The one who completes the task faster than others will win.
- “Funny drawings”. On a large piece of cardboard, make two holes for the arms. Players will have to draw the Snow Maiden or Father Frost with a brush by putting their hands through the holes. They can't see what they're drawing. The prize will go to the author of the most successful masterpiece.
- “Frosty Breath”. In front of each participant, place a large snowflake cut out of paper on the table. The task of each participant is to blow away a snowflake so that it falls on the floor on the other side of the table. The competition ends when the last snowflake hits the floor. The player who takes the longest to complete the task wins. It's all his fault frosty breath, due to which the snowflake “frozen” to the surface of the table.
- “Dish of the Year”. Participants will have to prepare a dish using products from the New Year's table. A New Year's salad composition or a unique sandwich will do. Afterwards, a man sits in front of each participant, and all players are blindfolded. The “New Year's hostess” who feeds the dish to the man the fastest will win.
- “New Year's melody”. Place bottles and a couple of spoons in front of the competition participants. They must take turns approaching the bottles and sing a melody with their spoons. The author of the most New Year's Eve wins musical composition.
- “Modern Snow Maiden”. Men participating in the competition dress up women to create the image of a modern Snow Maiden. You can use items of clothing, jewelry, New Year's toys, all kinds of cosmetics. Victory will go to the “stylist” who created the most unusual and striking image of the Snow Maiden.
The list doesn't end there. If you have imagination, you can come up with a good competition yourself. The main thing is to make it fun and bring smiles to the faces of participants and spectators.

New Year competitions for children and adults
A real holiday, in addition to noisy pastime at the table, includes short dance breaks, mass games and various competitions.
The New Year's celebration is aimed at a mixed audience, so choose New Year's competitions so that everyone can participate. After a half-hour feast, offer guests several musical and active competitions. Having thoroughly blurred and danced, they returned to eating New Year's salads.
I offer 5 interesting competitions for children and adults. I'm sure they'll take it worthy place in the New Year's entertainment program.
- “Christmas trees”. Participants imagine that they are Christmas trees standing in the middle of the forest. The presenter says the Christmas trees are tall, low or wide. After these words, the participants raise their arms, squat or spread their arms. The player who makes a mistake is eliminated. The most attentive one wins.
- “Dress up the Christmas tree.” You will need garlands, tinsel and ribbons. The Christmas trees will be women and girls. They hold the end of the garland in their hand. Male representatives decorate the Christmas tree, holding the second end of the garland with their lips. The winner is the couple who creates an elegant and beautiful Christmas tree.
- “Mummy”. The competition involves the use toilet paper. Participants are divided into two teams and a mummy is chosen. The rest of the participants will have to mummify her. They wrap the “lucky one” in toilet paper. The teams make sure that there are no gaps between the turns. The team that completes the task faster wins.
- "Twins" . Couples participate. For example, mother and son, father and daughter. Participants hug each other around the waist with one hand. For two you will have two free hands. Afterwards the couple will have to cut out the figure. One participant holds the paper, the second wields scissors. The team that makes the most beautiful figure wins.
- "Tomato" . The competition is designed for two participants who stand face to face on opposite sides of the chair. A banknote is placed on the chair. At the end of the countdown, participants must cover the bill with their hand. Whoever got there first won. Afterwards, the participants are offered a rematch blindfolded. Instead of money, they put a tomato on the chair. The surprise of the participants will amuse the audience.
New Year's games for children
The main holiday of winter is New Year, accompanied by holidays, good mood and a lot of free time. When guests gather in the house, New Year's games for children will come in handy.
Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple group game will be exciting if you play with a friendly group. Children will especially enjoy the competitions, the victory of which will bring New Year's gifts.
- “Tiger Tail”. Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. Participant, first standing in the line is the head of a tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” strives to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the coupling. After some time, the children change places.
- “Merry round dance”. An ordinary round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone, constantly changing the direction and speed of movement. After several circles, lead the round dance like a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.
- "Journey" . Team play involves the use of blindfolds and pins. Place the pins in a “snake” pattern in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down the fewest pins wins the game.
- “Compliment to the Snow Maiden”. Choose Snow Maiden. Then invite several boys who will compliment her. They have to take out pieces of paper with inscriptions from the bag and, based on the words written on them, express “warm words”. The player who voices the most compliments will win.
- “Magic words”. Participants are divided into teams and given a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter is reading, there are words from these letters. When such a word is heard, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and line up in the required order. The team that is ahead of its opponents earns a point.
- "What changed". Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. Then the children leave the room. Several toys are re-hung or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.
- “Gift in a circle”. Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. Afterwards the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player who has a gift left is eliminated. At the end of the game, there will be one participant left who will receive this souvenir.

Ideas for the New Year
Waiting for a miracle is a tedious task; it is better to create it yourself. What to do? Imagine yourself as a wizard, look around, collect simple objects and create something soulful, shimmering, warm and extraordinary. You will need some free time.
- “Christmas balls with fabric applique”. To make your Christmas tree stylish and original, you don’t have to buy expensive toys. You can create an exclusive design using cheap plastic balls without picture. Cut out identical motifs from an old scarf or a beautiful piece of fabric and paste them onto the surface of the balls.
- “Christmas tree decoration from orange". You will need a few oranges, a beautiful elegant ribbon, a cute rope, and a couple of cinnamon sticks. Cut the oranges into slices and place them in the oven to dry. Tie a cinnamon stick with a string and tie it to an orange slice. Make a loop on top. The final touch is a bow tied to a loop.
Amazing snowflake
It's hard to imagine a New Year's holiday without a dozen playful snowflakes.
- Use scissors to trim the ends of the toothpick. Use a paper cutter to make a small cut in the middle of one edge of the toothpick. This will be the main tool.
- Make several paper blanks. The width of the strip is around three millimeters. The length is equal to the length of the sheet.
- Create a spiral. Carefully insert the edge of the paper strip into the slot on the toothpick and twist it into a spiral. Twist the tool, not the paper. Make sure that the spiral is as even as possible. Remove the spiral and place it on the table.
- Spread the edge of the strip twisted into a spiral with glue and press it to the spiral. Press the end lightly. You will get a droplet with a spiral inside. Make as many similar elements as possible.
- The shape of the elements can be changed. During gluing, squeeze the element with your fingers, giving it a certain shape. This is how not only circles are created, but droplets and eyes.
- Having prepared the required number of elements, begin to form the snowflake. Create a pattern from individual elements, fastening with a drop of glue. You will get an amazingly beautiful snowflake.
Perhaps my ideas for the New Year will seem too simple. If you do everything correctly, the result will be very beautiful, with minimal investment of time and money.
Ideas for the New Year with your family
On this day, grandparents, aunties and parents will gather in one house. You need to try to make the festive night varied and fun. Only advance planning and careful preparation will help with this.
- Prepare a script. Each family member is assigned to write a short congratulatory speech. Close people are pleased to hear warm words.
- Write humorous toasts on pieces of paper. During the feast, guests will share their own thoughts and amuse each other.
- Arrange a family interview. A good video camera will come in handy. You can record the wishes of family members on video.
Traditions
- Each family has certain traditions and customs for celebrating the New Year. Some go out and set off fireworks, others visit the main square, others stay at home and exchange gifts.
- Family traditions must be followed. This brings back childhood memories when parents tried to arrange a New Year's fairy tale.
- Family New Year is a real holiday of love, at this moment we are surrounded by close people, a joyful and calm atmosphere reigns in the house.
- This evening, give your family members as much laughter and joy as possible.
New Year is a holiday when you shouldn’t limit yourself to boundaries. On the contrary, let your imagination run wild and give it the opportunity to run wild. In this case, you will get an unusual holiday, a real feast with games, dancing, fun, and delicious cake.
Good luck in the coming year and don't forget to buy New Year's gifts for your loved ones. Don't chase expensive things. Let them be cheaper, but from the heart. See you!
The most anticipated, most magical holiday is approaching - the New Year. And, of course, the children are especially looking forward to it, with the greatest impatience. After all, it is to them that the whole miracle is most fully revealed. New Year's fairy tale. And the task of adults is to create this fairy tale for their children.
But creating a fairy tale is not only about decorating a Christmas tree, buying gifts and preparing a costume for a child. More needs to be done new Year's Eve truly unforgettable, cheerful and funny.
And for this purpose, various games, tricks, tasks and competitions for children at New Year.
Young children's knowledge, experience and skills are limited. They still don’t read well, or even don’t know how to read at all, their coordination and motor skills are less developed, but they have a desire to have fun, fool around and move around.
Taking these conditions into account, it is worth selecting competitions for the New Year for preschool and junior children school age.
Choice of Father Frost and Snow Maiden
To begin with, you can offer a simple, unpretentious, but at the same time very funny lottery competition: the choice of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. Prepare small pieces of paper in advance, maybe in the shape of snowflakes. Their number must match the number of guests at the party. On one of them write “Father Frost”, on the second “Snow Maiden”. The rest can be left blank, or you can sign them with the names of other New Year's characters: snowman, snowflakes, bunnies.
Carefully fold the finished pieces of paper and throw them into a small container from which it will be convenient to remove them. It could be a cap or hat, a box, a beautiful jar or dish. Little guests should take out these pieces of paper one by one and see who got what role.
Be sure to prepare props for the two lucky ones who will pull out those same pieces of paper. Since both children and adults will participate in this distinction, you should not prepare fur coats or dresses. You risk not guessing with the size. Let it be hats of appropriate colors, masks, belts... In general, something that will be comfortable for both adults and children. To enhance the effect, the winners can be asked to dance together.
Symbol of the year
Next, you can organize a competition for the best symbol of the year. 2015 is the year of the goat or sheep according to the Eastern calendar, whichever you prefer. Let guests compete to see who can show off one of these animals better. If the kids find it difficult to repeat the movements of animals, and what with a goat, what with a sheep - this is really difficult, let them bleat or meme. The presenter will only have to choose the best one and give him the bell.
To the chimes
What's New Year without a Christmas tree? And which child doesn’t love decorating the green beauty? And if you do it at speed... So, divide the players into two teams, and let each team choose from among the participants the one who will be the Christmas tree.
You should have a variety of unbreakable decorations. It can be candy, rain, tinsel, paper garlands, snowflakes and much more that your imagination suggests. To make it easier to attach decorations to the tree, provide the contestants with clothespins. Find the chimes or other sound accompaniment one minute long in advance. Chimes or music will measure the time for the competition. Whichever team has the most fun, original tree wins.
Grab it
Remember the old one - good game with chairs? You can modernize it a little for New Year's Eve. Place a stool or small table in the center of the room, and place New Year's masks, glasses and other accessories and decorations on it. There should be one less decoration than there are participants. Otherwise, the rules are the same: music plays, and children dance, play, and run around the table. As soon as the music ends, the kids grab a mask or decoration from the table and put it on themselves. The one left without an accessory is eliminated and the game continues.
The neighbor's is better
An interesting variation of round dance for kids. The children stand around the Christmas tree, and the leader asks the question: “Where are your hands?” Children show. Then the presenter asks: “Are they good?”, the children say that they are good. Then the presenter asks: “What about the neighbor?” “And the neighbor’s is better,” the children answer, grab the neighbor’s hands and begin to dance in a circle. Then the game is repeated with another part of the body: nose, ears, legs...
Choosing a Christmas tree
Another great competition for kids is choosing a Christmas tree. The Christmas trees will be children, and one of the adults will play Santa Claus. First, Santa Claus and the children will show what Christmas trees are like. And they can be high (arms go up, the child stands on tiptoes), low (arms go as far down as possible, the child squats), wide (arms spread to the sides) and narrow (arms move very close).
Then Santa Claus begins to walk among the “Christmas trees” and say which Christmas tree is in front of him, pointing with his hands. For example: “How tall is this Christmas tree.” And the child, to whom the adult points, must show which Christmas tree Grandfather Frost saw. When the children get used to it a little, the adult begins to confuse them: he says one thing, but shows another with his hands. Whoever makes a mistake repeats the movement instead of listening is eliminated.
Competitions for older children
Competitions for the New Year for older children open up much more scope for imagination. But they also require a more serious approach. It is more difficult to captivate such children. Much of what delights children will seem uninteresting to middle school children.
What's in the black box
Everyone loves gifts, and surprises too. Therefore, the surprise prize will certainly captivate the children. Take a box, for example, a shoe box, and put a valuable item in it. Place this box in the center of the room and ask the children to guess what is in it. The winner will receive the contents as a gift. Children may ask questions that you only have to answer “yes” or “no.”
Letters and words
This competition can be held in two versions. First: place a piece of paper with a letter under each guest’s plate. Each of them must name as many New Year's words starting with this letter as possible. These can be New Year's heroes, dishes from the New Year's table, New Year's paraphernalia, and in general everything that is somehow associated with this holiday.
Or you can make words from letters on a piece of paper. The bigger, the better.
Pull a gift
You will need two boxes and a few prize items. A ribbon or string is attached to the box, its second end is attached to a pencil so that the ribbon or string can be wound, pulling the box towards you.
Prizes are stolen into the box, pencils are given to the participants and the presenter gives the start. Whoever pulls the box to him first will receive a prize from it.
This competition is especially fun if a child and an adult compete. In this case, the prizes in the boxes may have different weight: for a child something is light, for an adult, on the contrary, it is heavy.
Let's make a snowman
The contestants' task is to make a snowman out of plasticine. At first glance, the competition is very simple. But it was not there. The two of you will have to sculpt, sitting at the table, hugging each other. The bottom line is that one participant can only use right hand, the second - only with the left. Plasticine needs to be kneaded and softened before the competition.
Cut the prize
Quite a simple but fun game. Prizes are hung on strings at different heights. Participants are blindfolded and given scissors. Their task is to snag the prize they like (or at least some).
To complicate the task, you can offer to give a rope with a prize into the hands of a person. In this case, the height of the prize will not be fixed; after blindfolding, the hand with the thread can be raised or lowered.
New Year character
Prepare cards in advance with the names of New Year's characters written on them. Participants in the competition take these cards one by one and try to show the others the character they came across. You can show with gestures, pantomime, facial expressions. But you can’t talk about it. The audience must guess which character is meant. The guesser draws the next card.
Guess it
Another competition about New Year's heroes. This time, cards with the names of the heroes are hung on the participants’ backs. So that no one could read their sign, but could see other people's signs. The task is to guess which character you got. You can ask other participants questions that can be answered with “yes” or “no”.
Photo proofs
The word “casting” is familiar today, perhaps, even to small children. So why not arrange a photo test for the role of the most formidable Leshy or the most greedy Santa Claus at the New Year's party?
And you won’t need much for this: a person with a camera, guests who want to have fun and minimal props that will allow you to successfully complement the image that the contestant is trying to embody.
Dancing with obstacles
This competition will require a rope and a spacious room. All participants stand against one wall. Two people pull the rope at a height of 20 centimeters. They turn on the music and the participants begin to dance towards the opposite wall. Naturally, stepping over an obstacle.
For the next stage, guests dance in the opposite direction, but the rope is raised 10 cm. This continues until the participants have to jump over the rope to cross the room. From this moment on, participants begin to drop out. The most dexterous one wins.
Poetic horoscope
First, find out in which animal each guest was born. If there are repetitions, then the guests can unite in one team, or they can participate solo. The task of each participant is to read a short poem as the symbol of his year would read it. It is advisable to choose one text for everyone.
If a company gathers at your home for the New Year, in which there will be a large number of children, part of the evening must be devoted to them. We need to try to make the holiday fun. It’s good if the children are about the same age, but more often than not, the difference is quite noticeable. This means you will have to try to please everyone.
It is advisable, of course, not just to come up with competitions and arrange them in a convenient order, but to write holiday script . This will help turn the holiday into a real fairy tale, where all competitions and tasks bring a miracle closer: the appearance of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, saving animals, presenting gifts...
But, alas, not all parents have such talents. Therefore, it is important to at least choose the right competitions and correctly distribute them over time. First of all, it is important to determine in advance the age of the children, because this will determine which competitions will be appropriate. And the length of the program too. Kids get tired quickly, and an entertainment program for 30–40 minutes is enough for them. Older children may need more time.
Don’t be afraid to involve adults in children’s New Year’s competitions. Sometimes it’s also useful for them to remember their childhood, fool around a little, have fun. And in this case, competitions will be much more fun. In pairs competitions the best option will pair an adult and a child, especially if the child is small.
Give preference to those competitions that do not require too intricate props. It is quite possible to involve the children themselves in its preparation. Let them make papier-mâché masks, decorate prize boxes, cut out snowflakes and garlands to decorate the Christmas tree.
Regardless of age, all children love Christmas costumes , and they will probably come to the holiday in various images. So it’s a logical choice to end the evening best suit. However, if we are talking about very young children, it is better to find warm words for everyone, as well as a small prize.
And for older children the process can be a little more complicated. Let them not only put on a costume, create an image, but also protect it: at least for a short time, get used to the chosen role, perform a dance, song, poetry, or tell something interesting about their character.
And finally, if you're feeling really unsure, visit holiday-themed stores. There are probably special kits for sale there for the New Year's party, which include a script, all the necessary props and descriptions. Each set indicates the number of guests and the age of children for which the set is designed. But the best competitions for children for the New Year are those created by loving parents.

To ensure that your company doesn’t get bored during the New Year’s party, you need to think in advance about a fun program that includes interesting competitions. As a rule, such moments enliven any event, allow participants to feel at ease and get to know each other better.
It is advisable that you participate in the entertainment more people– then laughter and fun will contribute to a good mood in New Year's Eve, driving away boredom and drowsiness.
1. Snowball
The competition can be held while sitting at a table. This is a dating game that, in an unfamiliar company, allows you to remember the names of all party participants, and also have a lot of fun at the very beginning of the holiday.
The first participant says his name. The second participant says the name of the previous participant, as well as his own name. So the game continues, with each participant the list of names that must be pronounced becomes longer.
Then the game can be complicated by asking participants to add to their name some nickname based on fairy-tale characters, for example “Peter - Batman”, “Anna - Fiona” and so on.
It is quite difficult to determine the winners in this competition, but the process of pronouncing names will already be real fun.
2. Catch the “snake”
Two participants sit on chairs, standing friend backs to each other. Under the chairs there is a rope - a “snake”, the ends of which pass between the feet of each participant.
At the command of the main leader, the participants must lean forward sharply, trying to grab the rope faster than their opponent and pull it out from under the chair.
The most dexterous one wins - he then competes with the next participant, and so on, until the undisputed winner is determined.
3. Together we will defeat winter!
Everyone gets into pairs. Each pair is given a piece of ice (ice in identical molds must be prepared for the competition in advance). At a signal, the couple tries to quickly melt their ice in any way - you can blow on it, lick it, put it on the body, between your palms, or rub it. Participants are not allowed to use heating devices or hot utensils to melt their piece of ice. The couple whose piece of ice melts first wins.
4. New Year's songs
For this competition you don’t even have to leave the table. The whole company is divided into two teams. A draw determines which group starts first.
The essence of the competition is to remember all the songs about the New Year, Christmas tree, Christmas, winter, snow, blizzard, and sing a verse of each. The group that remembers the most songs wins.
You can change this competition a little as follows. Small pieces of paper are prepared in advance, words on the theme of the New Year and winter are written on them - “Snow Maiden”, “blizzard”, “Santa Claus”, “Snow”, “winter”, “December”.
Representatives from the teams take out one piece of paper from a colorful box, try to quickly remember the song that contains the given word, and perform it. This competition can be designed as a small improvisation concert.
5. Wish fulfillment competition
This competition must be prepared in advance as follows. A note with some task on a New Year's theme is inserted into the balls, for example: “Show the Kremlin chimes”, “Show the dance of snowflakes”, “Draw a snow woman”, “Draw an icicle”, “Show a Christmas tree”, “Show a drunken Santa Claus” , “Sing a New Year’s song in a child’s voice” and so on. These tasks should be varied and fun, and you need to prepare a fairly large number of them.
You also need to pour small confetti into the balloons, inflate them and hang them somewhere higher.
For the competition, all those present are divided into two groups. A member of the first team must burst the balloon with his hand or a stick - it will be covered with confetti and a piece of paper with the task will fall out. Then he must complete the task assigned to him as best as possible to the friendly applause and laughter of those present.
If a participant does not want to complete this task, the team receives minus 1 point. Together with each participant, everyone present can complete the task, competing in the quality of the reproduced scene. The most active team wins.
6. New Year's ABC
This competition can be held right after festive table. The host of the holiday announces that he wants to check whether everyone remembers the alphabet.
Each of the participants takes turns saying Happy New Year to all participants, starting a phrase with one letter of the alphabet, with “A”. For example, “A” - “Let’s wish Happy New Year to all the ladies present!”; “B” - “Be healthy and happy in the New Year!”
The culmination of this competition will be attempts to come up with phrases starting with the letters “b”, “f”, “b”, “j”. Clever and resourceful participants in the competition must somehow get out of the situation or laugh it off.
7. Snowball fight
For this competition, a sufficient number of “snowballs” are made from cotton wool in advance. All those present are divided into two teams and stand on opposite sides of the hall.
At the command of the leader, both teams begin to throw prepared snowballs at each other, noise, turmoil, and laughter arise. Then, at the command of the leader, the “war” stops. Each team must collect all the “snowballs” that fell on its side of the hall. The group that scores the most wins.
Then this competition can be continued with comic tasks - participants of both teams compete in carrying the “snowball” on the head, on the chest, on the back - in such a way that they do not hold it with their elbows or hands, and so that the “snowball” does not fall to the floor.
8. Santa Claus sneezed
This competition is not held to determine the winners, but to create general fun and laughter.
All those present are divided into three groups. First, the participants of each group are told that, upon a certain command - for example, by waving a “magic wand”, they must each shout out their magic word. These words are for three teams - “achi”, “eyes”, “cartilage”.
The teams must shout these words synchronously, all together, and the one that shouts their word louder than the others will win. At special signals, the teams shout their words all together.
As a result, all this noise will look like a giant sneezing. The presenter can further excite and amuse the participants in this competition by responding to every “sneeze” with “Bless you, Grandfather Frost!”
9. Rolling snowballs
This competition is held between male + female pairs.
Gentle music plays and the participants dance a slow dance. Then the music stops, the host gives the couples small balls, which he places between the bellies of the ladies and gentlemen.
At a special signal from the host of the competition, more energetic music begins to sound, and the partners try to use the movements of their bodies to roll the ball to the chin so as not to drop it or touch it with their hands.
10. Festive conveyor
From among those present, five participants are selected into two teams, they are given names: “open it,” “pour it,” “drink it,” “have a bite,” “close it.”
On the tables for two teams at the end of the hall there are bottles of sparkling water (for adult groups - with champagne or wine), a glass, and a sandwich.
At the starting signal from our presenter, the first participants run from the starting mark to the tables and open the bottle. The second participants must run to the tables and pour the drink into the glass to the brim. The third pair of participants runs to drink what is poured in glasses. The fourth participants in the competition “snack” a sandwich, the fifth ones run and close the bottle of drink.
The team that is more careful and completes this relay race will win.
As an option, teams may have not five participants, but, for example, three or seven. Sandwiches can be prepared in groups of three, and the relay race can be carried out until three laps have been completed, from opening the bottle to closing it.
11. Boxing ring
Two participants are called to the “stage” and will compete with each other. The presenter announces that now there will be bloody fights between two real men. Participants are given boxing gloves.
The presenter accompanies the putting on of gloves and the preparation process with phrases that “warm up” the audience: “Real men fight to the last!”, “The ring will show who is stronger!” Participants can be stripped to the waist, allowed to warm up, jump, and box in the air.
When the participants are warmed up and ready to “fight” each other, they are given... each candy in a wrapper (placed on the tables). At the starting signal “ring”, our “boxers” must try to quickly unwrap this candy with gloved hands, without dropping it from the table, and eat it.
The task with candies can be replaced with another task: with your hands in boxing gloves, unfasten the buttons on the lady who is previously wearing a dressing gown.
12. Queen of New Year's Eve
What fairytale evening would be complete without a queen? So on New Year's Eve, the participants will have to choose their main prom queen. To do this, of course, it is necessary to dress the queens in appropriate clothes, for which each team is given 1-2 rolls of toilet paper.
The teams’ task is to create a “royal robe” for their main “queen” within a certain period of time, for example, while all the other participants are singing some New Year’s song.
The winner is the team whose “queen” outfit is better than the other “queens”.
13. Dancing with balloons
When it's time to dance at the New Year's party, participants can be offered a very funny competition. All dancers have a balloon tied to their left ankle.
The essence of the competition is to, while dancing, protect your balloon from the feet of other participants, and at the same time, try to “burst” their balloons.
Such “dances” turn into a fun romp that gives good mood and general fun.
14. Fun questions - funny answers
This competition requires little preliminary preparation. From thick paper or cardboard, you need to cut cards of the same size, an even number, approximately two to three times more than the number of participants in the future party. On half of the cards you need to write a wide variety of questions, putting them in a separate deck. You need to write the answers on the second half of the cards - this will be the second deck.
Questions could be: “Do you know how to control yourself?”, “If I kiss you, what will you say to this?”, 
“Do you like striptease?”, “Do you often get drunk?” and others. Answers may be as follows: “Only after payday,” “My youth is left behind,” “This is my favorite activity,” “Only at night,” and others.
The first participant names the person who will be asked the question, takes a card from the deck of questions, and reads it.
The answerer takes a card from the answer deck and reads it. Then the second participant calls the name of the next answerer, takes a card with a question, reads it - and the festival of fun questions and answers continues further.
15. Snow lady of dreams
This competition can also be held with real snow - if it is slightly damp outside, or if large portions of snow are brought into the hall on trays for the competition. An option without snow is to sculpt a “dream lady” from cotton wool or padding polyester.
Divide all participants into teams. Each team is given “material” for modeling, and the start is announced. The team must “sculpt” a beautiful sculpture of a real beauty as best as possible, faster than their opponents. In the process of “sculpting” you can use your own things, products from the table.
The most beautiful and original “sculpture” wins.
