Family New Year: games for children and adults, competitions, script, free materials for printing.

Family New Year

For our family, New Year is not only a feast under the tree, but also pleasant moments of communication with each other. And without interesting competitions, riddles and various unexpected magical surprises and inventions, 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 in the last days before New Year. 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 robe, a scarf on her head and a broom or mop in her hands. The snowman is made from a sheet stretched over a gymnastics hoop, onto 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 are not scary and are very funny, making everyone laugh.

This is not a fictional script, it is a heartfelt, humorous family holiday at home or with guests. It is conducted without rehearsals and is based on improvisation.

Family New Year Scenario No. 1.

We played out this scenario in the coming New Year 2015. 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.

Act 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 holiday envelope under the tree. Joyful, they open the envelope and read the message. And there!!! No, it’s not a Happy New Year greeting! In the envelope, instead of congratulations, there is a letter from Koshchei the Immortal!

Here it is: “Happy New Year! Hahaha! Did you want gifts?! Ha! You won't 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'll never find it! Koschey." (You can download this letter by clicking on the link and print it on a printer on a sheet of A4 paper) -

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

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

The first game. First we all play together "Guess what." Questions are asked about how the New Year is celebrated in different countries. In the game you need to guess whether it is true or not. If this is a lie, then it needs to be corrected to the truth. You can come up with similar questions 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 this true or not?

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

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

With small children, during this game, you can depict how we are either flying on an airplane, or riding a train, or sailing on a ship from one country to another. And the adults will guess. So we will entertain both children and adults in this game.

Second game. Nonsense. In the game you have to guess the meaning of 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 the adult guests asked to give them tasks from this game so that they could play with their guests later :). 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” translated from Czech: a) poisonous mushroom, b) buckwheat, c) an unpleasant incident?

— What is “bun” translated from Bulgarian: a) homemade baked goods, b) plump, 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 journey map helps us with this. The correct answer to one question in the game of nonsense is our one step forward to the hut. We move the chip across the field.

Action No. 3. Baba-Yaga's tasks.

We find ourselves in Baba Yaga's hut. Yes, this is exactly what was drawn on our travel map. We remember how to get to the hut and together we ask the hut to turn “its back to the forest and its front to me.”

Baba Yaga greets us very politely and in a fairy-tale 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 the search for Santa Claus and New Year's happiness, but only if we complete her tasks.

Baba Yaga gives separate tasks to adults and children.

The task for children is riddles - deceptions. They are structured 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 mistakes! Not only children, but also their mothers and even fathers are happy to guess deceptions. And adults make mistakes no less often than 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 small surprises to everyone who has at least one chip.

Riddles - rhyming tricks alternate with regular riddles to confuse players. You can deliberately pronounce out loud the first syllable of an incorrect word in deception.

The task for adults is a question-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 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 draws one question strip from the question bag and reads it out loud to the player to his left. The second player pulls out his answer to this question from the answer bag.

The result is often very funny combinations. We have this game going around for several rounds because everyone really likes it.

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

Act 4. The riddle of Baba-Yaga.

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

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

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

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

Action 5. We receive an assistant and a hint.

In our appointed place in the apartment (under our cart with a large rose) we find a helper - a hint. There is another mystery in it. And it contains the answer to where Koshchei hides Father Frost and our happiness in the coming year.

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

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

Act 6. Save Santa Claus and find New Year's happiness.

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

Having passed through 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 (the result is a dense lump 2-3 cm in size) and packed in corrugated colored paper (like a bag). The bag is tied with a narrow gold ribbon. Everyone pulls out their bag, unties it and reads out what their wish is for the New Year.

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

For example:

Wish 1. “Many incidents await you
And interesting travels -
For courses, on vacation, abroad -
Where fate will decide!
Wish 2. “You will, my friend, continue to
Burn with creative work.
But you won't burn your wings,
Take care of your health!”
Wish 3. “Your hairstyle, appearance
It will pleasantly surprise us all.
From then on you will continue to
Keep getting prettier and younger!”

Family New Year Scenario No. 2.

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

What you can do at a home party as a guest:

- play game "Question and answer"(see description and download file above).

- And also play the games described above: “Nonsense”, “Guess It: A Journey Through Countries” and “Riddles - Tricks”. For the correct answer in each of these games, we give chips to each player who said the correct answer. If five people answered correctly, then we give an incentive chip to each of the five. At the end of the game we count the chips. Whoever collects the most chips gets the right to be the first to take the bag of happiness and read the wish out loud from it so that it comes true.

- play a game Activity (ready-made board and printed game).

- play games “Bundle”, “Changes”, “Win-Win Lottery”. We played these games last New Year, so we didn’t repeat them. And you can read about these and other fun games with guests at a family holiday in the article

I wish everyone a happy New Year and Christmas holidays! And let the games on family New Year's holiday bring joy and creative ideas to your home, unite your family and strengthen it!

The most fabulous holiday of the year is just around the corner, which means it’s time to think about entertainment: games and competitions for children and adults. Perhaps the New Year is the most family holiday, when all family members get together to share the joys of the outgoing year, remember what good things happened to them and dream about what will happen in the coming year.

Of course, the menu and setting of the New Year's table are very important points, but if you are planning a fun New Year, then you can't do without entertainment! We have prepared for you 20 of the best New Year's games that will appeal not only to children, but also to adults.

#1 Guess how much

For this competition you will have to prepare in advance. You will need a container into which a number of identical items will be placed (for example, a basket of tangerines). The container should be in the most visible place so that each guest can take a good look and evaluate it. The task of each guest is to guess how many items are in the container. You will also need to prepare a box where each guest will throw a piece of paper with their guess and signature. The one who indicates the number closest to the result wins.

#2 Memories

The game is suitable for children from 6 years old. You will need from 10 to 20 different items. All participants are called to the table on which the objects are laid out and carefully study them for one minute. You can only study with your eyes. Then the items are covered with a towel, and participants are given a piece of paper and a pen. The task of each player is to write as many items as possible from those that were on the table.

#3 Sticker Stalker

The game is suitable for a large company. At the beginning of the holiday, each participant in the event is given 10 sticker tags, which he must paste to other guests throughout the evening. The main condition: the one to whom you are going to attach the tag must not suspect anything. If you are unlucky and the victim discovers your plans, then you become the victim, and whoever caught you can openly stick one of their tags on you! The winner is the one who gets rid of the tags issued at the beginning of the holiday before the others.

#4 Hot potato with camera

Suitable for a large company. All guests must gather in one place. To the music, everyone passes a camera to their neighbor. At the moment when the music stops, the one in whose hands the camera is must take a funny selfie and leave the game. The one whose camera it is wins, because now you have a whole bunch of funny photos of your friends!

#5 Hurry up to take off your hat

Ideal for large companies. The essence of the game is that each guest must have a hat. It is better to prepare in advance and buy (make) paper caps for each guest. The essence of the game is that at the beginning of the evening everyone puts on their caps together. The party hat must be removed, but this must not be done before the host (host of the party) removes the hat. You will take off your hat somewhere in the middle of the evening. Attentive guests will notice, but the one who is busy telling his interesting stories from last year will most likely become a loser, because he will be the last one to take off his hat, if at all!

#6 Who Am I?

Great game for the whole family. Each player is given cards on which are written the names of celebrities, fairy-tale characters, writers or other famous people in your community. Each participant cannot read their card, but must stick it on their forehead. By asking leading questions to your neighbor, to which he can only answer “Yes” or “No,” you need to determine who you are according to the inscription on the card.

#7 Explain to me

Game for all age groups. You will have to prepare in advance. You will need several with simple words and a stopwatch. Participants must split into pairs. Each pair is given a piece of paper with words. One person from the couple reads the words and tries to explain them to his partner without using the name of this word and cognates. Each team has a minute to talk about everything. The winner is the one who can explain the most words in a minute.

#8 Damaged phone, only pictures

Suitable for all age groups. You will need several participants (at least 5-7 people). Each person is given a piece of paper and a pen. On command, each participant writes a sentence on their own piece of paper. Anything that comes to his mind. When the sentences are written, the sheet is given to the neighbor on the left. Now in front of you is a sheet of paper on which your neighbor’s proposal is written. Your task is to illustrate this proposal. When everything is ready, you wrap the proposal so that the neighbor on the left receives a piece of paper with only your drawing. Now the task is to describe in words what you see in the picture. This is repeated until the sheet with your first sentence is returned to you. Upon completion, you will have an equal number of sheets with mind-blowing stories in pictures and descriptions! It's funny to read what was in the first sentence and how the thought developed!

#9 Crocodile

Of course, you shouldn’t ignore the game “Crocodile”. For those who don’t know or don’t remember the rules: the essence of the game is that one person explains to others the word hidden for him using gestures. It would be symbolic to only wish for words related to New Year’s themes. In addition, if only people who know each other well will be present at the holiday, you can make up whole life situations that all participants in the event are well aware of. For example, if you are celebrating the New Year with work colleagues, it is quite logical to think of some event that is significant for you, say, the celebration of last year’s corporate party, when Irina Petrovna danced a striptease perfectly.

#10 Guess the word

Another exciting game for New Year's Eve, which all guests will be able to take part in. The essence of the game is that guests need to guess a word or name only by consonants. You will have to prepare in advance by choosing a topic and preparing several word options.

Topic: New Year's films

Tasks: krnvlnnch (carnival night); rnsdb (irony of fate); mrzk (Morozko); lklhmt (shaggy Christmas trees); dndm (home alone), etc.

#11 Draw what I described

The game is suitable for both children and adults. Players need to split into pairs. A pair of players sits with their backs to each other. One player from the pair is asked to take one thing out of an opaque bag. After this, his task is to explain to his partner as clearly as possible what he is holding in his hands. At the same time, you cannot name a thing, just as you cannot use words with the same root.

#12 Truth and lies

Another New Year's game that both adults and children can play. So, one of the players tells two truths about himself and one lie. The task of everyone else is to guess which of what was said is a lie. The turn goes to the one who guessed the lie first.

#13 Things that...

Suitable for a large company. All participants are asked to write on a piece of paper some things that make them feel or do something. For example, things that make me smile/happy/sad, etc. After everyone has written an answer, the papers are collected and the answers are read aloud. Now the task of each player is to guess whose answer was read out.

#14 Racing with snowflakes

If a large number of children are expected at the New Year's party, then you should pay attention to outdoor games. Divide the guys into teams, each team is given a large paper snowflake. The essence of the game is to carry a snowflake on your head to a certain place, and then pass it on to another participant. The team that completes the task faster wins. When a snowflake lies on your head, you cannot touch it with your hands.

#15 Cookies on the face

An excellent game not only for children, but also for adults. You'll need cookies, so prepare ahead of time. A cookie is placed on each participant's forehead. The goal is to move the cookie into your mouth without using your hands.

#16 New Year's fishing

A very entertaining game for participants of all ages. You will need Christmas candy canes. One lollipop is tied to a stick, and the rest are placed on the table so that the curved part extends beyond the table. The participants' task is to use a lollipop tied to a stick to collect the rest of the lollipops without using their hands. Participants hold the lollipop stick in their teeth.

#17 Snowball fight

Ideal entertainment for the whole family. You will need ping pong or tennis balls, plastic cups, paper straws and a long table. Plastic cups are glued to one of the edges of the table (with tape). At the other end there are players whose task is to roll the balls into plastic cups. Only air can be used! Players blow through paper tubes onto the balls, trying to direct them in the desired direction. If the ball falls, you will have to start over. The one who can do it faster wins.

#18 New Year's balance

Another active team game. Participants must be divided into teams of two. You will need a cylinder made of thick cardboard and a long stick or ruler. The cardboard cylinder is placed vertically on the table, with a ruler placed on top. The task of each team is to place as many New Year's balls on the line as possible so as not to upset the balance. You will have to work harmoniously, because if you hang the ball on only one side, the balance will be disrupted!

#19 Unwrap the gift

You can keep guests busy at your New Year's party with another entertaining competition: who can unpack a gift the fastest. You will have to prepare a well-wrapped gift and ski gloves in advance. The task of the participants is to open the gift while wearing ski gloves. The smaller the box, the more interesting!

#20 Find the word

Another game that kids will love. Cards with letters need to be prepared in advance, and participants must make up as many words as possible from these cards. You can write, for example, 10-12 New Year-themed words, and then cut the words into letters, mix them and the competition is ready. Alternatively, you can simply write words on a piece of paper, mixing the letters, and the participants must guess what the word is (for example, nikvegos - snowman).

In general, there are countless ideas for New Year's competitions and games. You can use our selection, or you can use your imagination and give yourself and your guests an unforgettable evening!

Competition "Take a prize!"

A bag with a prize is placed on the chair. The competition participants are around the chair. The presenter reads the poem “One, two, three!” Those who attempt to grab the prize in a timely manner are eliminated from the competition.

I'll tell you a story
In one and a half dozen phrases.
I'll just say the word "three"
Take the prize immediately!
One day we caught a pike
Gutted, and inside
We counted small fish
And not just one, but TWO.
A seasoned boy dreams

Look, don’t be cunning at the start,
And wait for the command one, two, SEVEN.
When you want to memorize poems,
They are not crammed until late at night,
And repeat them to yourself
Once, twice, or better yet FIVE!
Recently a train at the station
I had to wait THREE hours.
But why didn’t you take the prize, friends?
When was the opportunity to take it?

Competition "Theatrical"

Interested competitors are given cards with a task that they complete without preparation. The prize is fruit. You need to walk in front of the tables like this:

woman with heavy bags;
a girl in a tight skirt with high heels;
sentry guarding the food warehouse;
a baby who has just learned to walk;
Alla Pugacheva performing a song.

"Merry Nonsense"

The presenter has two sets of strips of paper. In the left hand - questions, in the right - answers. The presenter goes around the tables, the players take turns playing “blindly”, pulling out a question, (reading out loud) then an answer. It turns out to be hilarious nonsense.

Sample questions:

Do you read other people's letters?
Are you sleeping peacefully?
Do you listen to other people's conversations?
Do you break dishes out of anger?
Can you screw over a friend?
Are you writing anonymously?
Are you spreading gossip?
Do you have a habit of promising more than your capabilities?
Would you like to marry for convenience?
Are you intrusive and rude in your actions?

Sample answers:

This is my favorite activity;
Occasionally, for fun;
Only on summer nights;
When the wallet is empty;
Only without witnesses;
Only if this is not associated with material costs;
Especially in someone else's house;
This is my old dream;
No, I'm a very shy person;
I never turn down such an opportunity.

Christmas tree jokes

All participants remove “their” pieces of paper (colored in certain colors) from the tree. Jokes can be perceived as a prediction or a joke.

Dear parents! Would you like any grandchildren?
“Being closer to your mother-in-law means your stomach is fuller; further away from your mother-in-law, your love for her is stronger...”
There can only be two opinions in a family: one is the wife’s, the other is wrong!
It is best to give useful gifts. The wife gives her husband handkerchiefs, and he gives her a mink coat.
A compliment doubles a woman's productivity.
I will take on a difficult task -
I will spend the family budget sparingly.
There are no secrets from me in cooking, I will cook both dinner and lunch!
Between worries, between things.
I will diligently lie on the sofa.
Sometimes we all go somewhere,
Let's go, sail, fly like birds,
To where the unfamiliar shore...
The road abroad awaits you.
And this month you will dedicate to art -
Go to the theatre, ballet and opera!
Tomorrow morning you will be a beauty, a star, a berry, a kitty, a little fish, and when you give me a beer, you will become a wife again.

"Candy" on a string

A thread with “sweets” hanging on it stretches across the entire room. Each participant, blindfolded, cuts five “candies” for himself. If the gifts have arrived at the wrong address, then you can, with the consent of both participants, exchange them.

Should be happy in abundance
From the lottery you are now -
Three wonderful cards
Lottery drawn for you.
To always be beautiful, hurry to get the cream.
Listen to this advice: fruits are the best diet.
And here’s an elegant, fragrant, delicious, chocolate cheese for you.
If suddenly a child starts crying, you must (you must) calm him down. You'll jump in with a rattle and make him shut up.
To always be neat, hurry up and get toothpaste.

Guess the proverb

The presenter reads out a simple explanation of the proverb and offers to name it.

They don’t discuss the gift, they accept what they give... (Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.)
You need to learn throughout your life, every day brings new knowledge, knowledge is endless. (Live and learn!)
If you start something, bring it to the end, even if it’s difficult! (Took hold of the tug, don’t say it’s not hefty!)
Trouble and disaster usually happen where something is unreliable and fragile. (Where it’s thin, that’s where it breaks.)
How you treat others is how you will be treated. (As it comes back, so will it respond.)
Don't take on unfamiliar tasks. (If you don’t know the ford, don’t stick your nose into the water.)

What is this?

The same thing, but with animals.

“Repetition is the mother of learning!” - parrot
"Hold your pocket wider!" - kangaroo
"Tears of sorrow will not help!" - crocodile
"There is safety in numbers!" - locust
"Keeping pace" - caterpillar

"Field of Dreams"

The presenter reads the question and names the number of letters in the word. For each word guessed, players receive a prize (a small answer symbol).

A dairy product that maintains winter temperature, but is more often consumed in summer (9 letters). Answer: ice cream.

Place of long-awaited joy for people who survived until winter. It has always been a symbol located under a tree without leaves (5 letters). Answer: bag.
A liquid that is taken internally during great joy (10 letters). Answer: champagne.

And finally...

A poster is hung with phrases that need to be continued. Everyone participates.

There would be no price for Santa Claus if... (he came every day)
A bad snowdrift is one that does not dream of becoming... (ice cream)
A real tree about an artificial one... ("It's all silicone, and nothing more.")
If Santa Claus is on fire at work, then... (that means the Snow Maiden is on maternity leave.)
Do not shut the mouth of those who... (not worthy of this.)
In terms of the amount of paper per capita, we occupy one of the last places in the world and first... (in terms of the number of brilliant literary works.)

The most family holiday in our country is getting closer and closer. And if so, then the time has come to prepare for it, and there is still a lot that needs to be done. From the list of things to do, the following stand out: gifts for relatives, treats for the holiday table and home decoration. What about entertainment? And we will take care of them. A new interesting scenario for the New Year 2019 is perfect for a holiday with your family. Games, competitions, a lot of ideas - you will remember this New Year's Eve forever.

Let's say right away that this is not the scenario you imagine. There are no words from the leader, no order of actions. We simply wrote down our thoughts and ideas for games and competitions that you could use for the New Year at home. If you like it, we're happy. If you don’t like it, offer something of your own.

Idea 1

First you need to spend the outgoing year. Let's do it this way: each member of seven will write on a piece of paper the three best events that happened to him or his family in 2018. Then we open the champagne, pour it, and put the leaves into the empty bottle. The bottle needs to be capped and the whole family needs to hide it somewhere away. But when to open it - decide for yourself. Maybe in a year, or maybe in ten years.
You can also write down the wishes you want on pieces of paper. To be fulfilled with you in the future. Then such a bottle should be opened after ten years and checked - is it fulfilled?!

Idea 2

Well, everyone is at the table and the TV is on in the room. And what goes along it? That's right - Soviet New Year's comedies! This means that you can play a game on this topic.
Show guests a video where still images appear. The video shows a still from the film, and the rest must guess what kind of New Year's film it is. The one who guesses correctly gets one point. And whoever scores the most points has the right to choose the channel and what to watch on TV all night long!
And here is the video for the game:

Idea 3

Continuing the theme about New Year's films. In this competition you also need to guess films about the New Year, only without videos. The leader, or whoever is in charge of him, reads the riddles, and the rest guess them. It's simple, but fun.
And here are the riddles:

Idea 4

Everyone is looking forward to the chimes and the beginning of the new 2019. Do you want to know what the coming year has in store for you? Then play a funny game for your guests - a comic horoscope for the year of the pig.
This can be done in the form of a skit or simply read all the horoscopes about the zodiac signs.

Idea 5

Does everyone remember the cartoon about the three construction pigs? We choose three heroes who will be builder pigs.
And so, our heroes must build a high tower, and the higher and stronger it is, the greater the chance of victory. We will build from different materials: first from empty plastic cups, then from apples, and then from grapes or corn. Let's see who can create the most reliable house.

Idea 6.

It's time to play forfeits. This is a fun game that is suitable for the whole family. Its essence is simple: you write down tasks on separate pieces of paper, and then the guests take turns taking out cards for themselves and doing what is written there.
Examples of tasks for playing forfeits:
- show a happy pig
- show the pig who saw people making barbecue
- you need to sing a New Year's song as if you were a rapper
- without using your hands you need to eat salad with mayonnaise from a flat plate
- you need to come up with an advertising slogan for your grandfather (grandmother)
- dip your nose in mayonnaise and write with your nose: 2019
- quickly list all the significant holidays in Russia

There are many questions and you, knowing your relatives, can come up with others.

Idea 7

Who am I? Usually this question is asked to oneself on January 1, but we will get ahead of things a little. To play the game you will need these masks:

Although you can choose any. If there are no masks, then just leaves with inscriptions. When the masks are put on the guests, they take turns asking questions about themselves, that is, about their mask. And based on the answers of others, they try to guess what kind of mask they have.

Idea 8

Well, let's get back to the topic of New Year's films. This time, guests will have to guess not the name of the film, but what is hidden behind the gift. Everything seems easy, but remembering such little things is not very easy.
Watch the video for the game:

Idea 9

Everyone remembers the game from childhood - pin the tail. This time this game is very relevant. Prepare some cardboard and draw a pig and a place for the tail on it. Make a tail and let guests take turns blindfolded and try their hand at it. Whoever manages to find the right place for the tail receives a piece of meat as a gift!

Idea 10

The chimes are just around the corner and it's time to sing. Let the guests perform New Year's and simply popular songs, but do not sing them, but grunt. And the rest must guess what kind of song it is.
