Outdoor games near the Christmas tree for children. Outdoor New Year's games and competitions for a large company

The most vivid impressions of the holiday, as a rule, are associated with games, fun activities, various funny “dress-up” and gifts. That is why everyone loves it so much when there is all this in abundance, when favorite games are played by favorite fairy tale characters, when they are showered with gifts, when they especially believe in miracles and fairy tales, because everyone on this holiday can reincarnate themselves into the hero of a fairy tale: Baba Yaga, Bogatyr or Thumbelina.

We offer our collection - New Year's games for children's parties, which can be spent at a family holiday or matinee organized in kindergarten or school. The organizer of these entertainments can be Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, the hosts of the holidays or parents.

New Year's game "Magic Chairs"

For this game, the chairs are arranged alternately with seats left and right. They seat the children on them and explain to them that when Santa Claus approaches any of them and touches him with his magic staff, he must stand up, grab Frost’s waist and repeat all his movements.

So after a couple of minutes, Santa Claus forms a rather impressive “tail” of boys and girls. Following the “prankster” Frost, children squat, jump, waddle and perform other funny movements.

But Grandfather, in a thunderous voice, notifies the children that now they must each quickly return to their place. And, by the way, he was in a hurry to take one of the chairs, so that while the kids were figuring out who was sitting where, there was no longer enough space for one of them. This child is out of the game. So that the baby does not get upset, the Snow Maiden should give him a small sweet prize and explain that soon another of his comrades will be left without a chair (the fact is that with each round one of them should quietly disappear from the row of chairs).

It is not at all necessary to bring the matter to one winner; four to five rounds are enough. You can sing a funny song with those children who “survived.”

Game "Throw the Snowball"

This little competition can be hosted by one of the fairy-tale characters or Father Frost and the Snow Maiden themselves. To do this, they will need a regular hoop for gymnastic exercises, entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. A mountain of cotton wool snowballs is placed nearby. It is better to divide the snowballs in half. Children will be taken from these two piles, and we will also divide them into two teams.

Their task: take a “snowball” from a “snowdrift” and, stopping at a special mark, try to throw it inside the hoop. The winner is not the team whose members throw the snowball into the hoop the fastest, but the one that hits the hoop the most times.

Game for children's party "Find a New Year's gift"

No more than four kids can participate in this almost detective game at a time.

Previously, the organizers of the holiday must draw four “paths” on the floor with multi-colored chalk, which would intersect each other, twist in zigzags, and run into different sides, that is, they were very dangerous and difficult routes.

In this case, each child is given a picture with an inscription and an image of the method of movement with which he must overcome his path: on all fours, single file, ten jumps on the left leg and ten jumps on the right leg, backwards forward.

The most important thing is that all the paths will lead to the Christmas tree, under which four gifts are hidden. It is better if one of them is larger - it is for the child who will be the first to reach the finish line. Let the other three be the same.

New Year's game "Gallery of portraits of Santa Claus"

Children love to draw, and they will definitely be pleased with the option of some unusual way of drawing. For example, invite children to portray Santa Claus with their left hand. Another option is to draw blindfolded. The third way to amuse the little ones is to invite them to make a drawing by holding a pencil or felt-tip pen in their teeth.

To make it interesting for all the children to watch the process, deploy five or six easels with sheets of paper attached to them into the room. Let the sheets be not just big, but huge. This will give the child the opportunity to express himself brighter and more fully.

Surely, each of the kids present will want to draw in one way or another, so it makes sense to use the above techniques in turn. It is also important to include a new melody every time so that children do not get tired of the monotony of sounds and lose interest in the process.

Naturally, the organizers will have to stock up on a large number of interesting gifts for this game, so that, in addition to creative satisfaction, each child will also receive material satisfaction.

Competition "Breath of Winter"

To conduct this competition, you will need to stock up on large snowflakes cut out of paper - participants in the mini-competition will blow them off the table.

There should be from three to five players, preferably both boys and girls.

Rules of the competition: snowflakes lying on the table, as at the start, must be blown off the table surface. However, the winner is declared not by the one who removes his snowflake from the table the fastest, but by the one whose snowflake falls to the floor later than everyone else. Thus, before the “start”, little players need to be hinted that the snowflake should float a little in the air.

As a prize, the child can be given mint candies or candies that would be associated with the name of the competition, for example, “Auntie Blizzard” or “Blizzard.”

Fun idea "Magic snowfall"

The host of this little fun venture should emphasize that the snowfall they are about to make is called magical, because it will be created by the hands of the children themselves. So, having intrigued her little guests, the presenter invites each of them to take a ball of cotton wool in their hands, fluff it up, throw it in the air and start blowing on the cotton wool from below so that a light “snowflake” begins to float in the air.

Those kids win - and there should be several winners! - whose “snowflake” can float as long or as high as possible.

Game "Harvest from snowflakes"

This game is suitable for very young children. It is better to use the Snowman in it, because this is the character that children associate with snow and fun at the same time.

So, explain to the kids that now they will be given magic baskets in which the snow does not melt. They need them in order to race to collect snowflakes. The Snowman demonstrates beautiful snowflakes pre-cut out of paper to the children. It is best to place them on a patterned tray.

Then, standing on a chair like a boy, the Snowman begins to throw snowflakes up. At this moment, the children need to turn on a pleasant melody and invite them to dance under this lacy snowfall. And then offer to collect snowflakes in magic baskets. Give the children two minutes, no more. The winner is the little one who is quicker than the rest and collects as many paper snowflakes as possible into his basket.

New Year's idea "Miracle Hat"

They play this fun game by forming a round dance. Father Frost or Snow Maiden begins. He or she takes off some funny hat from his or her head and places it on the head of a nearby child.

Explain to the children in advance that they take turns placing this hat on their neighbor's head. This will continue until the music stops or Santa Claus knocks with his magic staff. And the one who is wearing the miracle hat at that moment goes to the center and demonstrates any talent he has (must sing a song, recite a poem, ask a riddle, etc.).

Naturally, this child receives some kind of prize as a reward.

Entertainment "Talking Alphabet"

As an intellectual workout, you can invite children to play “Talking Alphabet.” Its conditions: Santa Claus pronounces a New Year's greeting that begins with the first letter of the alphabet: “Ali Baba sends you warm congratulations!”

The second participant - already one of the children - comes up with his own speech, but only for the second letter of the alphabet - “B”. for example, “Barmaley asked not to worry, he will not interfere with our New Year’s Eve!” and so on. Surely it will be especially interesting for children to receive prizes for the same letter that fell to them for congratulations; it will be especially fun for those who get b, b, y, etc. Here, of course, the organizers will have to work hard.

Entertainment for children's party"Funny Christmas tree"

It is most appropriate to organize such entertainment at a festival, since in this fun competition children will have to show good coordination of movements.

So, we put a small artificial Christmas tree in the middle of the hall. It comes with a box of decorations. However, toys should only be made of plastic so that children do not hurt themselves.

Three to four volunteers are called. They are blindfolded and in this state they are asked to decorate the Christmas tree. Father Frost and the Snow Maiden or other fairy-tale characters from the matinee can serve toys. It is advisable not to look for losers in the competition and give chocolate medals or Christmas tree balls to each child.

As a variant of this competition, we can offer the following form: we do not place a Christmas tree in the center of the hall, but, having handed the children a plastic toy, we turn them around its axis three times and ask them to walk and hang the decoration on the first “Christmas tree” they come across. The trick of the presenters should be to, while promoting the child, still direct him towards his comrades. Then, having reached one of the children, the little participant will certainly hang the toy on his ear, nose or button. Which will certainly cause friendly children's laughter.

Attention game "One, two, three!"

This game requires attentiveness and intelligence. It will certainly amuse children who are at least seven or eight years old: it uses numerals, so the child must be able to count.

Rules of the game: on a chair in the center of the circle formed by the players, there is a prize, decorated in a New Year's style. You can only grab it when you hear the number “three.” But the presenter will indulge in deception. He will try to say the word “three” several times, but will always add some ending. For example, “One, two, three... eleven!”, “One, two, three... a hundred!”, “One, two, three... twenty!”. And somewhere between these deceptions he should say the cherished word “three”.

The prize will be given to the one who turns out to be the most attentive, it is better to encourage the others too, so as not to get upset.

FUN OF SANTA CLAUS

16 games for New Year's matinees

By command Children dress up Santa Claus. Whoever decorates his Christmas tree with all the toys from the box faster and more accurately wins.

The game is good to play with fun rhythmic music. The children are standing around. Grandfather Freezing or the host of the holiday begins the game by transferring the hat from his head to the head of the child standing next to him, he, in turn, transfers the hat from his head to the head of his neighbor, and so on in a circle. By command Santa Claus(clap, whistle, strike with staff) the movement stops, and the one who still has the hat on at that moment must dance, sing or tell a winter poem, proverb, or ask a riddle.

PORTRAIT SANTA CLAUS

1st option (individual).

Children are given pencils or markers. A sheet of Whatman paper is hung on an easel with magnets. You need to draw by holding a pencil or felt-tip pen between your teeth. (With eyes closed or left hand).

2nd option (collective).

All players are blindfolded with scarves. On a large Whatman paper, children take turns drawing some part of the figure. Santa Claus. At the same time, players are not informed to what place Grandfather has already been drawn Freezing. So, it may turn out that he will have two beards or a whole pyramid of bags with gifts.

SNOW FALL REVERSE

Each child is given "snowball" (on a small cotton ball). At a signal from Winter or the leader, the children loosen their lumps and launch them into the air (throwing up) and begin to blow on them from below so that they stay in the air as long as possible and do not fall to the floor. The most dexterous one wins.

CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT

Children select gifts from a bag by touch Santa Claus, describing in detail what it is and what it is like. Or you can hide gifts in boxes of different sizes so that children can imagine what might be in the box (it will be even more interesting if the smallest gift is in the largest box).

BAG OF SURPRISES

Two children compete (one by one). The first person is blindfolded and given a small bag containing various toys. (cubes, balls, nesting dolls, cars, etc.). Task: take objects out of the bag and identify them by touch. The player must answer what kind of thing he got. Then the toys are changed and the game is repeated with the second participant. Of the two, the one who correctly guessed the largest number of toys wins.

Chairs are placed in a circle (there are 1 less of them than players). Grandfather is among the players Frost or Snowman. Music sounds, all participants in the game begin to run around the chairs. As soon as the music stops, all the children quickly try to take their seats. The adult hero plays half-heartedly (giving in, pretending that he doesn’t have time to sit down on a chair all the time. Since all the seats are occupied by children, he will have to dance for everyone or give out gifts.

FUN RATTLER

Grandfather Freezing competes with children in running in sacks or jumping on one leg around a Christmas tree. One condition mandatory: Having run around or jumped to the agreed upon place, you need to take a rattle - a maracas on a chair in front of the Christmas tree and ring it.

Catch up with felt boots

Children stand in a circle and are given felt boots in their hands. Children pass felt boots around in a circle to cheerful music, and Grandfather Freezing trying to catch up with him. Children need to pass the felt boots very quickly so that Grandfather Freezing couldn't take it away.

If the company is large, you need to include game program holidays and other competitions and entertainment. For example, these.

Poetry competition

This is a competition for younger schoolchildren. Prepare cards with rhymes and distribute them to all guests at the beginning of the holiday. Come up with “New Year’s” rhymes or use the following: years - grandfather, nose - frost, calendar - January, year - coming.

At the end of the holiday, before presenting gifts, everyone reads their poems and receives prizes for the best works.

Santa Claus is coming

First, invite all participants in the game to remember the text:

Santa Claus is coming from the forest,

He's coming to us for a holiday.

And we know that Santa Claus

He brings us gifts.

After the players repeat the text, offer the following conditions: you need to gradually replace words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is “we”. Instead, everyone points to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words and more gestures.

This is what gestures can be.

“Santa Claus” - point to the door. “Holiday” - jump and clap your hands. “Walking” - walking in place. “We know” - touch your forehead with your index finger. “Gifts” - gesture to depict a large bag. And so on. At the last execution, only prepositions and the verb “carries” will remain.

What do they hang on the Christmas tree?

The presenter can come up with his own version:

— The guys and I will play interesting game: what they hang on the Christmas tree, I will call it for the kids.

If I say everything correctly, say “Yes!” in response.

Well, if it’s suddenly wrong, feel free to say:

"No!" Are you ready? Let's begin!

I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree. Do you know who Santa Claus is? If you agree with me, say “True,” and if you don’t agree, say “False.”

True - false

The presenter begins the dialogue:

— Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?

And this means - the time has come,

Which all the kids are waiting for.

Let's call Santa Claus!

A game in which children are tested in a humorous way to see how attentive they are.

I wanted to throw a ball

For this game, the poem by Daniil Kharms “I wanted to throw a ball” may be useful. The presenter prefaces this fun with the following introduction. “Do you know how to receive guests?” he asks. The children, of course, answer “Yes!” “This is very good,” continues the presenter. “Unfortunately, some people don’t know how to do this. It is about such strange people that we and the poet Daniil Kharms will write a poem. I'll start, and you main role: you will come up with rhymes.”

Leading. I wanted to throw a ball

And all the guests to your place...

Children. Called!

Leading. I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,

Baked crumbly...

Children. Pie!

Leading. Pie, knives and forks are here,

But there’s something the guests don’t...

Children. They're coming!

Leading. I waited until I had enough strength

Then a piece...

Children. I took a bite!

Leading. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down,

And the whole pie in a minute...

Children. Ate it!

Leading. When the guests arrived,

Even crumbs...

Children. Not found!

This is a guessing game for the little ones, they are happy to show how a bunny jumps, how a clumsy bear walks and how different animals “talk”.

There is a merry round dance going on.

Sitting firmly on a branch,

Seen at the zoo

This music game, where Grandfather Frost sings and the children answer:

— A huge hippopotamus sleeps behind bars at the gate.

“Here is a baby elephant in a quiet sleep, guarded by an old elephant.”

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

— The black-eyed marten is a wonderful bird!

- The angry, despising gray wolf snaps his teeth at the guys!

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

“The penguins suddenly flew higher than the spruce and aspen trees.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandfather, you're confusing!

- Ponies are small horses, how funny ponies are!

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

— The insatiable jackal beast walked from wall to wall.

- We saw it, we saw it, we saw it at the zoo!

— And the green crocodile walked importantly across the field.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandfather, you're confusing!

Children must answer correctly without losing their rhythm.

New Year's game "Answer the other way around"

This game is played at the end of the New Year holiday. The leader walks around the circle and asks questions. The one to whom he asks them can answer them, and all the guys should help in unison. Gradually (this is the responsibility of the leader), more and more guys answer. And the word “The End” should already be said by the whole hall.

I'll say the word "high"

And you answer - “low”.

I'll say the word "far"

And you answer - “close.”

I'll tell you the word "full"

You answer - “hungry.”

I'll tell you "hot"

You answer - “cold”.

I'll tell you the word "lie down"

You will answer me - “stand up.”

I'll tell you later "father"

You will answer me - “mother”.

I'll tell you the word "dirty"

You will answer me - “clean”.

I'll tell you "slow"

You will answer me - “fast”.

I'll tell you the word "coward"

You answer - “brave”.

Now I'll say "beginning"

You answer - “the end.”

Snowball

Distribution of gifts is the most pleasant and long-awaited moment of the New Year's holiday. It is always accompanied by some kind of attraction or game. The proposed game is suitable for a few home and uncrowded “family” holidays. The redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag is arranged as follows: in a circle, adults and children pass a specially prepared “snowball” made of cotton wool or white fabric. It would be nice for Santa Claus to have one of these in his bag. “Whom” is transmitted, Santa Claus says:

We're all rolling a snowball,

We all count to five -

One, two, three, four, five -

Sing a song for you.

You should dance a dance.

Let me tell you a riddle...

The person who redeems the prize leaves the circle and the game continues.

Fairy tale nonsense

Children really like it when Grandfather confuses something. For example, how animals “talk”. The guys “teach” Santa Claus and correct him. Based on the same principle, a game was invented in which the “dark” Baba Yaga or someone from her entourage confuses the names of all the fairy-tale heroes. For example:

Goblin(Baba Yaga). Here, old lady, I was walking through the forest yesterday, and towards me - this green Crocodile with his Buracheshka!

Baba Yaga. Not Buracheshka, you stupid dunce, but Burachekashka!

Leshy. No, Buracheshka!

Yaga. Burchekashkoy!

Leshy. And we’ll ask the guys, Buracheshka or Burchekashka?

Children. Cheburashka!

Leshy. So I say, Cheburashka! So they go and ask me if I saw this, Ti-no-bu-ra.

Yaga. What a fool! You're a fool, Leshy! Remember, not Tinoburo, but Robutino!

Leshy. Right, guys?

Children. Pinocchio!

Leshy. Wow, Pinocchio!

Yaga. Why do they need Pinocchio?

Goblin. So I ask, why? And they tell me: “Today there will be big holiday. Everyone will gather there: Duychomovka and Saloruchka."

Yaga. Who-who?

Goblin. Duychomovka, Saloruchka... Right, children?

Children. No, not like that.

Goblin. How?

Children. Thumbelina, Little Mermaid!

Leshy. Whoa, whoa, and this Grandfather Romoz himself will come to them with his Sgunerochka!

Children. Father Frost and Snow Maiden!

An approximately similar scene may be present in the New Year's scenario, or the host for the holiday may prepare a funny story. The older the children, the more incomprehensible and funnier the names can be changed. If there are few children, then you can even identify an expert in the names of fairy-tale characters and give him a prize.

Visiting Grandfather Frost

This is a game for kids. Santa Claus invites the children to go to his forest hut. When the children stand behind Grandfather the “train”, he leads them, saying and showing different movements that the children must perform.

We held hands together

How the horses galloped.

(Grandfather shows how horses gallop, raising his knees high, and the children repeat.)

We jump one after another -

We are not afraid of the cold!

And now we are like bears

We went along the path.

(Grandfather walks slowly, waddling from one foot to the other, the children repeat.)

We waddle

And we don’t get tired at all -

Like perky bunnies

Both girls and boys!

(Everyone is jumping like bunnies.)

Jumping, pranksters,

On a fun holiday!

- Here we are! - Grandfather announces. - Dance, have fun from the heart!

(Funny music sounds, children jump and dance.)

Santa Claus puts the kids in a round dance, with himself in the middle. Sings and shows the children the movements:
