New Year's games and entertainment for schoolchildren
The games proposed in the article will allow you to organize an entertaining all-around tournament for everyone remaining in the house or class. Competitions can be held according to the Olympic system: participants are divided into pairs, losers drop out of the game and become fans, and winners meet each other. With each round, the tasks become more complicated: the distance to the target increases, the number of objects that need to be remembered increases, the size of the throwing rings, the size of the targets decreases, etc. Everything necessary for the attraction games must be prepared in advance - this will make them more dynamic. The role of judges is usually performed by the owners of the house or those who prepared the evening.
And don't forget about gifts for the winners! Try to understand that a gift is not expensive, but attention is expensive. The “gift system” can be completely diverse. Much depends on your imagination.
INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE GAMES
"Game as a gift". A rope is tied across the width of the room, and paper bags with gifts are tied to it at a distance of 10-15 cm (the number of bags should be equal to the number of guests). All participants move 1-2 m away and use a counting machine to choose who will be the first owner of the gift. He is blindfolded, spun around himself 5 times and directed in the direction where the rope is stretched. His task is to tear off “his” bag. Then the next participant is chosen, and the game is repeated from the beginning until each of the guests finds a gift.
“What has changed?”. The game involves 3-4 people. Lay out on the table various items(toys, pencils, keys, coins, etc.), the number of which depends on the age of the players. Participants in the game are asked to remember the location of objects on the table within 1-2 minutes and, at the presenter’s signal, turn away or leave the room; In the meantime, some of the items are moved to other places or removed altogether. The winner is the one whose answer to the question “Are all the objects left on the table and which ones have been rearranged?” - will be more accurate. The game can be complicated by using chess, checkers, dice, dominoes, etc. for this purpose.
"Don't drop it." 5-6 people participate in the game at the same time. They sit on chairs 4-5 steps opposite each other. Each of them is given a prop: a small stick, a pencil or thick paper rolled into a tube. The players’ task is to stand up at the signal and hold the object vertically on the tip of their finger, walk to the “opponent’s” chair and sit on it, without dropping the object from their finger. If the object falls, then the participant in the game gives the host a forfeit and leaves the game. And at the end of the evening the forfeit “redeems”. The “ransom” should not be delayed; the task is given by the host of the evening. They should be simple and easy to implement. For example: sing one verse of a song, say a tongue twister, etc.
“Who has the most accurate eye?” The game involves 4 people. To play this game you need a ruler and several sheets of unlined paper. Each competitor is given a sheet of paper folded into 5-7-9 (necessarily an odd number) strips of equal width. The players’ task is to determine by eye the length and width of the strip and the entire sheet.
The presenter uses a ruler to determine the winner. Whoever has the most accurate readings wins. You can set other tasks: determine the length of the table circumference, the height of one of the players, etc.
“Who is more resilient?” 3-4 people participate. A ribbon is stretched on the floor from strips of paper or twine - a path along which you need to walk with eyes closed. In turn, each participant is blindfolded, spun around 3 times and directed to the track.
The one who makes it wins larger number precise steps along the tape.

The one who completes the task correctly wins.
“Determine without looking.” 4 people participate at the same time. Participants in the game can be asked to determine by touch the type of fabric, type of grain, material from which the item is made, and even the names of magazines.

Making “snowballs” is very simple: sew small round bags from thick material and fill them with cotton wool.
"Take the Prize". 5-6 people participate. A prize (toy, fruit, candy) is placed on a chair or stool under a bright cap. The presenter invites one of the players to stand with his back to the chair, put on a mask with his eyes taped shut (or, if there is no mask, blindfold his eyes with a scarf), walk forward 5 steps, turn around and, returning to the chair, lift the cap in one motion.

The second participant does the same. If the box falls, the participant picks it up, puts it on his shoulder and starts moving from the place where he dropped the box.
The team that finishes the game first and has the fewest box falls wins.
"Tell someone else". It's very simple and funny game, 3-4 pairs or two teams of 5-6 people can participate in it.
The upper part of the matchbox is taken and placed on the nose of the first participant. The task is to pass boxes from your nose to the nose of another player without using your hands. If a box falls from the nose, the person who dropped it picks it up, puts it on his nose and passes it to the next player.
Those who complete the task faster and more successfully win.
There are several varieties of this game:
1. Participants are given an orange or an apple. The player holds the orange, pressing it with his chin to his chest, and tries to pass it to another without dropping it; another participant, without using his hands, also tries to grab the orange with his chin, pressing it to his chest.
2. Hold the pencil between your upper lip and nose and pass it to someone else without dropping it.

Competition "Abracadabra"
To participate in this competition for the New Year 2019, you need to form 2-3 teams, come up with an original New Year's name and choose a captain. While the children are busy with this, the presenter needs to write several columns of different words on the school board (the number of columns depends on the number of teams formed) with rearranged syllables and letters. You can capitalize the letter with which the word begins to make the task a little easier. The task of each team is to write the correct word next to each hidden word. Whoever completes the task faster receives a reward from the presenter.
Try to choose words that will correspond to the New Year's theme, for example:

- knakuili (vacations);
- azprnikd (holiday);

To play this game at school you will need skittles and blindfolds. The pins must be arranged like a snake. Children are divided into two teams and each player is blindfolded. Holding hands, they need to walk a given distance and touch as few pins as possible. Each pin knocked down is one penalty point. At the end of the competition, the number of penalty points for each team is calculated; whoever has the fewest is the winner.
Competition "Artists"
In the center of the circle or stage are two easels with paper. The leader calls two groups of five people. At the signal from the leader, the first from the group take the coal and draw the beginning of the picture; at the signal, they pass the coal to the next one. The task is for all five competitors to draw a given drawing faster than their opponents. Everyone must participate in drawing. The tasks are not difficult, often just draw:
- locomotive;

Two teams of 6 children each take part in this performance. This is grandfather, grandmother, Bug, granddaughter, cat and mouse. There are 2 chairs on the opposite wall of the hall. On each chair there is a turnip - a child wearing a hat with a picture of a turnip.
Grandfather starts the game. At a signal, he runs to the turnip, runs around it and returns, the grandmother clings to him (takes him by the waist), and they continue running together, again go around the turnip and run back, then the granddaughter joins them, etc. At the end of the game, The mouse is caught by a turnip. This competition is won by the team that pulls out the turnip the fastest. New Year 2019 with these fun games will be a real holiday for schoolchildren.
Competition “Who? Where? When?"
All participants in the competition, which is held at school, sit at the table. Each of them has a piece of paper and a pen. The presenter asks everyone the question: “Who?” At the very top of the sheet, the contestants write their answer - what came to mind (friend, parrot, teacher, starling, etc.), after which they fold the paper so that it was impossible for others to read the word they wrote and passes it to their neighbor on the right . Then the presenter asks the following question: “Where?”, and the participants again write their answer, fold the edge of the sheet and pass it to the comrade sitting on the right.
Thus, you need to ask about 10 questions:
- "When?"
- "with whom?"
- "to whom?"
- "at what time?"
- "Why?"
- "For what?"
The presenter collects all the notes and begins to read out the resulting “stories.” It happens that you get quite funny and humorous proposals that will make anyone laugh on New Year 2019.
Competition "Musical reliefs"
To entertain children for the New Year 2019, you can also hold a fun dance competition called “Musical Reliefs.” The presenter turns on the music for 10 - 20 seconds. At this time, all participants in the game can dance, jump, gallop, in short, perform any active physical actions until the music stops. Immediately after the host turns off the music, players must sit or lie down on the floor as quickly as possible. The last one to do this is out of the game. In this way, the game continues until one player remains - the winner.
Competition "Prize in Riddles"
This competition is as follows: take a prize, wrap it in paper, and stick the contents of any riddle onto the wrapper. Turns around again. And again the riddle sticks. And so ten times. The players sit in a circle. The presenter gives one person a prize wrapped in ten wrappers. The player removes one wrapper, sees the riddle, and reads to himself. If he guessed it, he says the riddle; if not, he reads the riddle out loud; whoever guessed it gets the right to further unwrap the prize and everything continues according to the same pattern. The one who guesses the riddle and gets to the very end wins.
Thus, the child will not only take part in this event, which is held at school for the New Year 2019, but also, if lucky, will win the coveted prize.
Competition "Snowballs"
An equally exciting competition that will interest all children for the New Year 2019 and help them relax after a busy school period. To do this, children are divided into two teams and choose a captain, to whom the leader hands an empty bag. The remaining players should make themselves 3-4 snowballs from paper. At the presenter’s signal, the contestants begin to throw their snowballs into the bag held by the captain. The captain can help with this, but catching snowballs with your hands and putting them in your bag is prohibited. The winner is the team whose bag contains the most snowballs.
Competition "Christmas trees"
This - funny competition, recommended for use in schools as it will allow children to have some fun. Participants stand in a circle. The presenter announces the conditions. Christmas trees can be different: high, low, wide and thin. When the leader pronounces the word “high”, the children should raise their hands up, “low” - sit down, “wide” - make the circle wider, “thin” - make the circle narrower. Turns on musical accompaniment and the game begins. The presenter tries to confuse the children by pronouncing words in different sequences and repeating. The participant who does not perform the required action is eliminated from the game, which then continues according to the same scenario. For New Year 2019, such a game will give a good mood to all participants and spectators.
