New Year's competitions for preschool children
Round dance around the Christmas tree
To interest the youngest players, you need to try: kids lose interest very quickly if the activity does not catch their attention. In such a situation, round dances around the Christmas tree will save you. This is a win-win option that kids of all ages love. Usually round dances are performed to the song “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter” or “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”
Game “What types of Christmas trees are there?”
The presenter (the Snow Maiden or Father Frost can act in his role) says:
- Look how elegant our Christmas tree is: all covered in beautiful toys and garlands. Guys, do you know where Christmas trees grow? Of course, in the forest! Christmas trees can be different: wide and thin, high and low.
Next, the presenter must explain the rules of the game:
- Guys, stand in a circle and take each other’s hands, and I will tell you what Christmas trees are like. If I say, “High,” you should raise your hands up, and if you hear, “Low,” you should sit down and lower your hands. If I mention wide Christmas trees, I need to make the circle wider. And if I say, “Thin,” you should make the circle narrower. Is everyone clear? One-two-three, let's start!
Music game
(to the tune of the song “Good Beetle” from the fairy tale film “Cinderella”)
1. Stand up, children, stand in a circle, stand in a circle, stand in a circle! Clap your hands without sparing your hands! Jump like bunnies: jump and jump, jump and jump! Now stomp, not sparing your feet!
2. Let’s grab our hands quickly, cheerfully, raise our hands up, and jump higher than everyone else! We will lower our hands down, stamp our right foot, stamp our left foot and turn our heads!
The game is repeated 2 more times.
Game "Dress up the Christmas tree"
Children are divided into two teams. Each has a box of Christmas tree decorations (preferably unbreakable). The essence of the game is that players must decorate an artificial Christmas tree, which stands at a distance from the teams. The child must take a toy from the box, run to the Christmas tree, hang the toy on it and return to his team. And so on until the last player. The team whose tree is decorated first wins.
Game "Cat and mouse"
Three players from the team are dressed up in cat costumes and given a stick with a long rope attached to it. A fake mouse is attached to the opposite end of the rope. Players, accompanied by cheerful music, wind a rope around a stick, and gradually the mouse approaches. The most agile cat, the one who managed to “catch” the mouse faster than the others, wins.
Games for primary schoolchildren 6–10 years old
Game "Christmas tree chants"
The presenter speaks quatrains, and the children shout out the words of each final line in chorus.

The kids are always happy to see her,

Game "Who's first?"
Agility competition. First, hang a winter jacket with the sleeves turned out on the backs of two chairs, and put a fur hat, scarf and a pair of mittens on the seats. During the competition, players must turn out the sleeves of their jackets to cheerful music, then put them on and the rest of their winter equipment (hat, scarf and mittens). The prize will be given to the one who is the first to take a seat in his chair and shout: “Happy New Year!”
New Year's competition “Mask, I know you!”
Of all the guys, you need to choose only one player. The presenter puts a mask on him. Moreover, the player should not see whose mask he is wearing. The rest see what kind of hero this is. The player wearing the mask must guess who is depicted on it. He asks questions to other children and gets hints from them. Questions can only be answered “yes” or “no”. The person who guesses it correctly is given a mask as a prize.
Competition "Tinsel"
Competition-competition for two teams. As a prop, the presenter gives each child tinsel. A New Year's song is playing, for example Jingle Bells. To the music, in each team the first participant ties his tinsel in a knot on the hand of the second participant, then the second - on the hand of the third, and so on. The last player runs to the first and ties tinsel to him - it turns out to be a circle. The winner is the team whose members completed the task before their opponents and raised their hands with tied tinsel.
Game "Doctor Aibolit"
It's a team game again. This time the players line up. Doctor Aibolit wants to know: did anyone have a fever during the New Year holiday? The fairy-tale hero places a large cardboard thermometer under the armpits of the first participants of both teams. At this time, cheerful music plays. The second players must take the thermometer and put it on themselves, then the third players take the thermometer from them, and so on until the last child in the line. In the same way, the thermometer moves in the reverse order: from the last players to the first. The team whose first player returns the thermometer to Dr. Aibolit the fastest wins.
Competition "Christmas tree toy"
In front of the two players, the presenter places a prize wrapped in bright wrapping paper on a chair and says the following text:
“At New Year's hour, friends,
You can't go without attention!
Don't skip the number "three"
Take the prize, don't yawn!
The Christmas tree greeted the guests.
Five children came first,
So as not to be bored on holiday,
Everyone began to count on it:
Two snowflakes, six firecrackers,
Eight gnomes and parsleys,
Seven gilded nuts
Among the twisted tinsel,
We counted ten cones,
And then you got tired of counting.
Three little girls came running..."
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?” If one of the players turns out to be attentive, the presenter concludes: “Those are attentive ears!”
Game "New Year's Changelings"
Santa Claus says phrases, and children must answer “yes” or “no” in unison, regardless of the rhyme.
You friends came here to have fun?
Tell me a secret: were you waiting for Grandfather?
Will frosts and cold scare you?
Are you ready to dance by the Christmas tree sometimes?
A holiday is nonsense, let's get bored instead?
Santa Claus brought sweets, will you eat them?
Are you always ready to play with the Snow Maiden?
Can we easily push everyone around?
Grandfather never melts. Do you believe this?
Do you need to sing a verse in a round dance at the Christmas tree?
Competition “Make Nesmeyana Laugh”
For the competition, you need to prepare the details in advance: funny masks, false noses, ears.
Princess Nesmeyana knows where the Snow Maiden is hidden, but cannot reveal the secret to the children, as she constantly cries. The contestants' task is to make her laugh with funny movements and dances. To complement a bright image, children can use funny props.
For children from 10 years old
New Year's Costume Competition
For this competition you will need the following props: paper (large enough - at least A4), tape, pins, scissors and glue.
In a certain time (say, 10 minutes) you need to come up with and make a New Year's costume. The task is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to have time not only to make an outfit, but also to present it to the public, tell what exactly it means and what it serves (for example, is it an evening outfit or a fancy dress). The jury evaluates the result with applause. The team that earns the loudest and longest standing ovation wins.
Competition "Ball with a surprise"
You need to write funny New Year's tasks on sheets of paper, place notes in balloons, and then inflate them. Each participant should be given a ball with a task. You have to burst it without using your hands. When the participant copes with this, he will need to complete the written task (for example, sing a song, dance the dance of little swans, etc.). The one who makes it the funniest will win.
Competition "New Year's Chain"
For this competition you should prepare A4 sheets, a glue stick and scissors. Two teams must take part. Within a certain time (5-7 minutes), participants must cut strips (3 cm wide and 12 cm long) and then connect them into a New Year's chain. The team that makes the longest chain wins.
- 01 Remember that children switch their attention very quickly. Therefore, competitions should not be made too long.
- 02 You should not hold several competitions at once. Dilute them with a dance program or concert numbers.
- 03 Be sure to reward and encourage winners.
Hi all! Are you already thinking about how to entertain your children for the New Year? Then consider these 13 simple games to play at home.
Children's New Year Games and Competitions for the home
Where is Santa Claus?
Of course, the simplest and most famous entertainment is the search for the long-awaited Santa Claus.
The presenter or the Snow Maiden invites the children to call Grandfather Frost.
And after that, together they light up the Christmas tree in chorus: “Christmas tree, light up!”
Tangerine football
To play this game, children are divided into 2 teams. To play you need tangerines and two fingers of each player.
Children play on the table and try to score a goal for the second team.
You can, of course, play this game with a goalkeeper, but then it will be much more difficult to score a goal.
This is a very fun game for developing team spirit, as well as dexterity and motor skills.
Adults, join the kids - it's a lot of fun!
Round dance for kids
Young children love to dance around the Christmas tree. It is simple and accessible for them.
It’s great to do such a round dance around the Christmas tree with the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest” or “The little Christmas tree is cold in winter.”
If your child is doing a round dance for the first time or is shy, be sure to stand next to him and show with your example how great and fun it is.
Such a simple round dance unites children and adults and relieves tension.
Snowball
Both children of all ages and adults love to play this interesting outdoor game.
From paper, masking tape, etc. you need to make as many “snowballs” as possible. By the way, I never use newspapers for children's games, because... I know that printing ink contains harmful substances.
Participants in the game take turns throwing these “snowballs” into any large “basket” (basket, box, bucket...) and try to get into it. Of course, the older the participants, the further away the basket should be placed to make it more interesting.
An excellent game for accuracy, dexterity and coordination.
"Attentive" song
Children sing in chorus a well-known song, for example, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.” 
When the leader claps, everyone falls silent and continues to sing the song to themselves.
When the leader claps again, the children begin to sing out loud again.
Anyone who starts singing out of tune with the others is eliminated from the game.
Large and small Christmas trees
Santa Claus (or the presenter) tells the children: different Christmas trees grow in the forest - small and large, low and tall.
At the word “low” or “small,” the presenter and children lower their hands down. On the word “large” or “high” - they lift up.
The presenter (or Santa Claus) repeats these commands in different orders, while accompanying his words with “wrong” gestures, trying to confuse the children.
Excellent game for attention.
Collect snowballs
This game is for older children. Let's make lumps of cotton wool or balls of paper - these will be “snowballs”. We lay them out next to the Christmas tree or around the room on the floor. We give each participant a basket, bag or box.
The winner is the participant who collects the most “snowballs” while Blindfolded.
An excellent game that develops spatial thinking and sense of touch.
Flying snowflakes
This game can also be played by both children and adults.
Participants take a small piece of cotton wool - a “snowflake”, and simultaneously throw it and blow on it in order to keep it in the air for as long as possible. You know who wins. 😉
This is a wonderful outdoor game for developing lungs and dexterity.
Guess the gift
A wonderful game for younger children. You need to put different items in an opaque bag.
The child determines by touch what object is in his hand. And if he guesses right, he gets it as a gift.
An excellent game that develops spatial thinking and tactile sensations.
New Year's fishing
A game for older children and adults. Prepare unbreakable Christmas decorations with loops, put them in a large box, and find several fishing rods.
When the presenter gives the command, the participants in the game decorate the Christmas tree using fishing rods and try to do it as quickly as possible. The one who hangs the most toys on the Christmas tree wins.
A great game that develops dexterity.
Pass the orange
The participants of the game are divided into two teams of 5 - 10 people.
When the host gives the signal to start the game, each participant passes the orange to the next player on their team without using their hands.
The team that completes the task the fastest without dropping the orange wins.
This game also develops team spirit, dexterity and ingenuity.
winter wind
For this game, 3 to 5 participants sit around a smooth table. They try, like the wind, to blow away a paper snowflake, a wad of cotton wool or a paper ball from this table.
The game develops lightness and perseverance.
Collect snowflakes
For this game you need to make “snowflakes” - cotton balls or paper snowflakes. Stretch fishing lines in the room and hang these “snowflakes” on strings. All competition participants will be given scissors and buckets/baskets.
The winner is the one who, after the leader’s command, collects the most “snowflakes” in his bucket within a certain time.
This fun, active game develops speed and dexterity.

A selection of games for the New Year's holiday at school, in the classroom, in the children's art center or at home.
Who loves chocolate?
Leading. “Now let’s see how attentive you guys are! I will ask you questions, and you answer: “I.” But be careful, sometimes it’s better to remain silent.
- So, who likes chocolate?
-Who loves marmalade?
-Who likes pears?
- Who doesn’t wash their ears? - the answer of the inattentive: “I am!”
General laughter. The presenter is exaggeratedly surprised: “Are there really children who don’t wash their ears? You must be joking! Listen and pay attention!”
- Who was walking down the street?
- Who fell into the puddle? - the answer of the inattentive: “I am!” But the majority are already silent, listening to questions. The presenter praises the children and continues:
- Who helped mom?!
- Who swept the floor?
- Who washed the dishes?
- Who broke the cup? - in response - laughter. There are almost no inattentive people left. This game delights children from 6 to 11 years old.
Silence is gold
The presenter explains: “Now I will tell you an entertaining story. You will be able to take part in my story. When I raise my hand, you can all say together: “Me too!” But we should remember that sometimes “silence is golden.”
The presenter tells a story something like this, pausing after each sentence:
“Once I went into the forest...
- I see a squirrel sitting on a tree...
— The squirrel sits and gnaws nuts...
- She saw me and let’s throw nuts at me...
- I ran away from her...
- I went the other way...
— I’m walking through the forest, picking flowers...
- I sing songs...
- I see a little goat nibbling grass....
- As soon as I whistle...
— The little goat got scared and ran away...
There are no winners in this game, the main thing is a cheerful mood.
Traps
One of the most favorite outdoor games for children. Moms and dads get the role of gates. They stand facing each other and raise their arms up, forming a gate. Children run in a circle and run under the gate. There should be several gates, one gate for 4-6 children. They are located at an equal distance from each other. At the command of the presenter “Run”, the children run under the gate. When the presenter says “Stop”! - the gates turn into traps, parents lower their clasped hands and catch one or two children. The caught children now become catchers themselves, joining hands with their parents, forming small round dances - traps. Now the round dance of children runs through these circles - traps. Gradually the traps are growing, and there are more and more guys being caught. In the end, everyone is caught, and if there are dodgers who were not caught, they can be awarded prizes. The game “Traps” is loved by children of all ages, from 5 to 13 years old.
The game “Traps” organically transitions into the next game or, rather, a creative competition called “The Sea Is Worried.”
Ocean is shaking
After playing traps, children stand in small round dances of 5-9 people. It may be that there are many more children in one trap, then the round dance teams need to be straightened out. It’s very good that each team had two adults. They will help children in a creative competition. This is a team competition, so each team must come up with a name.
So, the teams “Yolochka”, “Snowflake”, “Hawks” are competing. The presenter explains that while he says “The sea is worried - one, the sea is worried - two, the sea is worried - three!”, the participants in the game sway, depicting a sea wave. At the command of the presenter: “Sea figure - ship with sailors - freeze!” participants must present this living picture. Children and adults, especially in the first round of the game, may not immediately figure out how to complete the task. Therefore, the presenter should prompt the players that it is not necessary to hold hands, and you can also give time to prepare a living picture, saying: “Ship with sailors - one, ship with sailors - two, ship with sailors - three, freeze!”
For starters, the following tasks are good: “Flower Bed,” “Fairy Forest,” where each participant can express themselves individually. But the commands “Teremok with inhabitants”, “TV with a TV show”, “Three-headed dragon” require team interaction. The resulting living pictures are interesting in themselves. But it’s even more interesting to turn it into a mini-performance. So, for example, the presenter can knock on the little house and ask: “Who lives in the little house, who lives in the low house?” The answer can be very varied. From the classic little mouse to the Terminator. You can ask the person who answered to leave the tower and walk around, as required by the role. The sight of a bouncing bunny, a waddling bear, or a fussy mouse evokes universal approval. It’s very funny when three-headed dragons compete to see who roars louder or scares the most. So this competition provides ample opportunities for the presenter’s imagination and improvisation. The game “The Sea Is Troubled” is good to play with children from 8 to 14 years old.
The winning team in this competition is determined by the number of points received for each live painting. But experience suggests that the guys express themselves so brightly and funnyly that it can be very difficult to identify the winner. Therefore, friendship most often wins here.
To move on to the next game, the host says: “You are creative guys. And now we are turning into a train. If I am a locomotive, then who are you? The children answer: “Wagons!” Presenter: “Stand behind me!” Children stand behind the leader. Accompanied by cheerful music, the “train” winds its way around the hall. The game "Merry Journey" begins.
Fun trip
The presenter suddenly brakes sharply and says:
- Stop! Red light! Is the driver happy or not?
Children answer:
- No! Leading:
- Right. He stomps his feet like this out of indignation and impatience.
The presenter and the children stomp their feet.
- And if it’s yellow, it claps its hands, we’ll be leaving soon. Like this.
Everyone claps their hands.
— And if it’s green, we shout “Hurray!” Go!
A fun train ride is accompanied by an angry stomp if the presenter announces “Red light!”, applause if the light is yellow, and a loud shout of “Hurray!” if the light is green. Riding a train is especially good because you can ride through all the rooms, and if it happens at a school, then through the school halls and even the stairs. In warm weather you can go outside.
Suddenly the presenter says:
- Station! And what an unusual name it has: “Prygalkino!” So everyone is jumping here. Who will jump higher!
The children jump with abandon. The leader commands:
- Go!
The journey continues. The stations replace one another: “Khokhotalkino”, “Kruzhilkino”, “Obnimalkino”, “Otgadalkino”... At the last station the guys sit down in their chairs, since here they need to show their knowledge and ingenuity.
Princess on the Pea
The host says that sometimes people don't realize that they are actually princes or princesses. And it also happens that they guess about it, but don’t know how to check. And today children have a rare opportunity to find out who is who? “First we’ll find out,” says the presenter, “if there are any princesses among us. Who wants to check? The girls raise their hands. The presenter calls one of the girls and says: “In the fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea,” the future princess felt a pea through 9 mattresses. Now the task is much simpler - you need to determine without using your hands how many lollipops you are sitting on.” The presenter puts a bag of lollipops (from 3 to 7) on the table and places the girl on it. Determining the number of lollipops is not easy. So that the loser is not offended, the presenter says: “No, you are not a princess, but a countess.” Not only girls, but also boys often want to participate in this competition. In this case, when the boy raises his hand, the leader says: “In order to choose the prince, we have the following competition in which the boy can show his strength in fair combat.”
Reach for the prize
The presenter places the winner of the previous competition (princess) on a chair facing the audience. The presenter says: “Now, in front of the princess, applicants for the role of the prince will compete. So, boys, who wants to show off their strength and agility? Two boys, approximately equal in strength and weight, grab each other's wrist with their right hand. They hold each other with their right hand, and their left hand is free. Prizes are placed at an equal distance from them. Each of them needs to reach their prize, and this means dragging their opponent to their side. Or you can do this fun martial arts like this:
Take a rope 3-4 m long, or even better, a wide braid or canvas belt, connect the ends so that you get a ring. Participants in the competition are invited to put on this “strap” like barge haulers, but each of them will try to pull in their own direction in order to reach the prize, which is located half a meter from each player.
The winner receives the won prize from the hands of the princess. The loser gets something as a consolation prize. The princess and prince take over as hosts of the ball.
Walking boots
It would be unfair to forget about this exciting children's competition. It is especially common during New Year's holidays in kindergarten.
Two opponents are given very large adult felt boots. Children drown in them and really look like little boys in the boots of a cannibal. There are chairs in front of them at a distance of 3-5 m. At the leader’s command, the children “run” to the chairs, go around them and run back. The one who arrives first wins.
This competition can also be held as a team relay race. Then each player, when he comes running, must take off his “walking boots”, and the next one must put them on. Only then can he set off on his journey.
What page is the bookmark on?
This competition has long been deservedly popular. Both adults and children love him. The presenter shows a book that has at least 100 pages and that each of the children would like to have. Therefore, holiday organizers should be well prepared for this competition. The book should be hard cover, beautifully designed, well illustrated. The presenter shows the book, and all participants see in which part of it the bookmark lies. The presenter says how many pages there are in this book. After this the competition begins.
The presenter should pay special attention to not shouting from the seat, but to raise their hand and say the page number only after the presenter’s permission. Otherwise, a situation may arise in which several people simultaneously claim the book. But in fact, in the 1st round there is almost never a winner, especially if the book has 300 or more pages. Then one of the participants or the presenter himself suggests playing the game “More - Less”. This is where complete silence is definitely needed. Answers will only be accepted by raising your hand. Another condition is that the presenter must indicate that when speaking about the page number, he means the right page. After the correct answer, the presenter shows the page on which the bookmark lies and hands the book to the winner.
Mister Calm
Two or three contenders for this title are called. They receive a box each and place it on their head. With the box on your head, you need to walk to the opposite wall or chair (5-6 m), turn around and come to your place. Almost all applicants easily cope with this task. Then they receive a second, and if successful, a third box. Rarely in my practice
who reached the fourth round. Usually "Mr" or "Miss Calm" was determined earlier. Although the competition is not complicated in appearance, there are always many people who want to take part in it. Before starting, you need to warn the children that it is not the one who came first who wins here, but the one who did not drop the boxes was calm and focused, despite the frantic “sickness” of the children around.
What if you want to run? Then in this competition you need to replace the boxes with a bag of sawdust or sand. Now you can arrange a running competition. This will be an extremely exciting and spectacular competition: all the running contestants look funny. If one of the competitors drops his luggage, he must stop, put the bag back on his head, and only then run on.
For mushrooms
What a delight - autumn mushroom picking! Both young and old love to pick mushrooms. In our game of mushrooms, apparently and invisible things have grown! There are 20-30 of them on the floor in the room. Mushrooms replace wooden or plastic cubes. Two guys with baskets in their hands compete in their collecting skills while blindfolded. Whoever finds the most wins. If these are team captains, then the players can give advice to their leaders. This game can be offered to very young children, only then there is no need to blindfold them.
Young firefighters
Two people compete. They sit on chairs at a distance of 2 m with their backs to each other. Jackets with sleeves turned inside out hang on the backs of chairs. This is "form". There is a rope under the chairs, the ends of which just reach the feet of the contestants. This is a fire hose. At the leader’s sign, the “young firefighters” put their “uniform” in order, put it on, fasten all the buttons, run around the chairs three times, while loudly counting: “One, two, three!”, sit on the chairs and pull the “firefighter” hose". In whose hands it remains, he is the winner, i.e. the “young fireman.”
Hedgehogs
Thirty clothespins are attached to a 1.5 m long rope. Two guys hold it above their heads. Two teams of children run up to the rope one at a time, like in a relay race. They take off one clothespin at a time and rush to the “hedgehogs” sitting on the chairs. Adults can act as hedgehogs. Children really enjoy playing with their parents. Children grab clothespins, run to their parents and attach them to any part of their clothes or to their hair. The team whose “hedgehog” bristles better and who has the most clothespins wins. It is very good to hold this relay race in an open area, so that the distance to the “hedgehog” is greater - about 10 m. Nowadays there are a lot of
multi-colored plastic clothespins. For this game, it is better to buy just these: the “hedgehogs” will turn out funny, and it will be interesting to take pictures with them.
This game has a continuation: the presenter invites the children to collect clothespins this time and attach them again to the rope. Only now they can do it not one by one, but all together. Children grab clothespins and hang them on a rope. The team that completes the task first wins. It’s a rare children’s holiday without this fun relay race.
"Mysterious" prize
The presenter gives the guys sitting at the table a voluminous package and says that there is a prize inside. But only those who complete the task hidden under the wrapper can receive it.
The person who wishes removes the wrapper and discovers a riddle written on a piece of paper and glued to the edges of the next wrapper. If the contestant knows the answer, he says it out loud. If the answer is correct, he can remove the next wrapper, but... under it is not a prize, but the next riddle. The one who guesses the riddle moves forward as long as his answers are correct. But if he does not know the correct answer, then he reads the riddle out loud.
The one who gives the correct answer continues the game. The more layers of wrapper there are, the more interesting it will be. There should be at least ten layers.
Throw the ball
The guys are divided into two teams. Between the teams there is a ribbon stretched at the height of the players' faces. There are 5-10 balls on one and the other side. The players' task is to throw all their balls to the opponent's side. It is forbidden to throw the balls to the wrong side under the tape. At the leader’s command “Stop,” children must freeze and put their hands behind their backs. The presenter begins counting the balls. Which side has fewer balls wins.
The game is very fun, dynamic, and evokes a storm of emotions that children sometimes cannot cope with. Therefore, the presenter must warn that if after the command “Stop” the children continue to throw the balls with their hands or push them with their feet, the offending team will be considered a loser. During the game, the balls often burst mercilessly, you don’t need to pay attention to this. The main thing is the end result.
Okhlupok
This is an old Russian game that survives today under various other names: “Pushinka”, “Feather”, etc. Teams stand against each other, a ribbon is placed between them. The players’ task is to blow the otkhluk (a small fluffy piece of cotton wool) onto the opponent’s side. The host conducts the throw-in. He throws the ash high over the heads of the players. The players blow it to the opponent's side.
Discipline is very important in this game. The presenter warns that the team that stands up for the ribbon and goes over to the enemy’s side is considered defeated. It is better if the players immediately put their hands behind their backs. The game is played according to volleyball rules, up to three defeats. The presenter must be very attentive. Children sometimes blow so hard that they get very tired.
Blow once
In this simple but fun competition, you can win a prize, as children sometimes say, by fu-fu. You just need to try and blow properly on... On what is at hand: on balls of crumpled napkins, on wine bottle caps, on empty matchboxes...
On a flat floor or an empty table, two objects are placed on one line, for example two empty matchboxes. The competitors stand at the same distance from them and, at the signal from the leader, blow strongly once. The one who blows again automatically loses. The one whose object flies farthest wins.
You can also compete like this: push a slightly empty cardboard box out of the box, put the box to your mouth (put it on, not put it in your mouth!) and blow hard. This is a competition to see whose “shot” will be longer. Or you can put some kind of target - a box, a bucket, a pan and, standing at full height, hit it from a certain distance. Each person is given five “shots”.
Tail
The host invites the game participants to sit on chairs and two team representatives to go to the middle. They wear a specially prepared ponytail with a pencil at the end. The pencil should not reach the ground, it should hang down at the back to approximately knee level. Two empty lemonade or champagne bottles are placed behind the competition participants. The task of the players is to lower the pencil into the bottle without using their hands. The competition begins at the command of the presenter “Start”. The leader must strictly ensure that the children do not help themselves with their hands.
Pass the pin
Players stand in one line, shoulder to shoulder (10-14 people). They start passing the pin to each other. At the presenter’s command “Stop,” the person who passed the pin and the one who received the pin at that moment take a step forward. One of them will not be able to continue the game. Who it will be will now be decided in the competition. The guys stand in front of the line with their backs to each other, at the command of the leader “March” they run around the line on both sides and return, trying to grab the pin. Whoever gets the pin first stays in the game.
The game continues until there are two people left in the line. These are the finalists of the game. They receive a small prize for winning and a competition takes place between them for the super prize of the competition. All players return to the line, and the fans are divided into 2 teams and support each of the finalists. Everyone tries to grab the pin first.
This game is popular with children of primary school age. The leader should pay special attention to ensure that the guys do not collide while running. Those who push are excluded from the game. Here is another outdoor game that is appropriate for this part of the holiday.
Fishermen
The presenter gives the participants fishing rods with magnets instead of hooks. Cardboard fish lying in a large box have either pieces of tin or large metal clips attached to them. Fishermen put magnets into the box and catch fish. The one who catches the most fish wins. Sometimes fish are made in different sizes and are marked with different numbers of points. In this case, the one who scores more points wins.
Hare without a mink
This game is good when at least fifteen children participate in the holiday. The two participants are a homeless “hare” and a “wolf”. The rest of the guys are hares and their “houses”. Nine children stand in groups of three and join hands. It turns out three small round dances. These are three “houses”, each of which contains one “hare”. At the command of the leader, the hare begins to run away from the “wolf”. The "wolf" is trying to catch up with the "hare", but the "hare" is hiding in someone else's "house". But according to the rules of the game, there should not be more than one “hare” in the house. Therefore, as soon as a homeless “hare” jumps into a hole, the former owner must run out of the “house”. The “wolf” pursues a new victim until it catches some “hare”. Then the “wolf” and “hare” change roles.
This active, fun game is very popular with children from 6 to 14 years old. It requires a fairly large free space. But this game can be played at home if you have a free room.
I go, I go, I go, I lead the children with me
This is catch-up for the little ones. They can be played with children from 3 to 8 years old.
Children become a chain behind the leader. The leader walks and says the following words: “I’m walking, walking, walking, leading the children with me, and as soon as I turn around, I’ll immediately catch everyone.” When they hear the word “overfish,” the children run to a safe place called “city.” The city can simply be an empty space separated from the playground by a lying ribbon or rope, or it can be chairs that children must have time to sit on. When children run away, the leader must catch them. If the children are small, 3-5 years old, the leader must pretend that he is catching, but cannot catch. Otherwise, the child may become very upset as a result of this game.
The game goes well at home when the leader leads the children from one room to another for a long time, repeating the first two lines several times. When the cherished word “I’ll catch you” is uttered, the children, screaming, rush through the entire apartment to the saving city. This game is fun, emotional, and brings a lot of pleasure to young children. Having played catch-up, the children will gladly take part in competitions and attractions. A simple and fun game for two people is competition.
Triple trap
Two participants stand opposite each other, with a prize lying on a chair in front of them. The presenter counts: “One, two, three... one hundred!”, “One, two, thirteen... eleven!” etc. The winner is the one who is more attentive and first takes the prize when the presenter says: “Three!”
This game can be played differently. The presenter reads poetry:
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
We examined what was inside.
We saw small fish
And not just one, but... five.
A seasoned guy dreams
Become an Olympic champion
Look, don’t be cunning at the start,
And wait for the command: “One, two... march!”
When you want to memorize poems,
They are not crammed until late at night,
And repeat them to yourself,
Once, twice, or better yet... seven.
One day the train is at the station
I had to wait three hours.
Well, friends, you took the prize.
I give you a five.
If they don’t have time to take the prize, the presenter takes it: “Well, friends, you didn’t take the prize when you had the opportunity to take it.”
Running in a bag
There is probably no adult who has not participated in this competition at least once in his life. It seemed that this boring competition was forever a thing of the past. But no! Today it is increasingly found at public holidays and in school gyms. And the participants of the holidays respond to it with enthusiasm.
The essence of the competition is very simple: competitors put a bag on their feet, which they hold in their hands or tie on their belt. “Running” in a bag is only possible if you place your feet at the corners of the bag and stretch it well. In this case, the runner resembles a hobbled horse. Some people prefer to pull up a bag and jump like a kangaroo. In any case, a man running in a bag makes a very funny impression. At the same time, the excitement inherent in competition makes this competition as beloved as “Tug of War.” The one who reaches the finish line the fastest wins.
Hot - cold in German
I “spotted” this German folk game at Christmas. Two guys are competing. They are blindfolded. The presenter takes them to different ends of the room and turns them several times. Then he hands them wooden spoons. Children on all fours, tapping spoons in front of them, must find an overturned pot standing on the floor in the middle of the room. Under this pot, of course, is a prize. Fans can tell the contestants the direction of their search by saying: “hot - cold.” True, this more often hinders the guys than helps. They spin around in one place, jump next to the pot...
The game is very emotional and fun. The first one to hit the pot with a spoon is declared the winner. An important condition: you cannot rummage around with both hands; you can only look for the pot with one hand with a spoon.
Wherever the wind blows!
The presenter explains: “The weather vane indicates the direction of the wind. If the wind blows from the North, it turns to the South, if from the West, it turns to the East. You are all weathervanes. Let’s see if you can correctly point out which way the wind is blowing?”
The presenter shows the children where North, South, West, East are. The game begins. At first the presenter plays the game slowly, then faster and faster. When the guys begin to easily cope with the task, he adds the following rule: “If I say storm, you should spin like tops, and if it’s calm, freeze and not move. The most attentive ones win.
To the company - on assignment
The game begins with children dancing, jumping, running to cheerful music. Suddenly the presenter gives the task: “The company... is a boy and a girl!” All children must quickly go into pairs. Anyone who does not have time to find a partner is eliminated from the game. Presenter's team "Task - without company!" means everyone dances one at a time again. New task: “The company... is an odd number of people!”, and the children rush to complete the new task. The presenter can fantasize and come up with more and more new conditions: “Companies of 2 boys and 3 girls!”, “Companies by hair color,” “Companies of two, three, four,” etc. The rest outside the company drop out. The most attentive and efficient ones win.
Mysterious pouch
“They talk about the amazing abilities of some people, whose feelings are extremely developed,” says the presenter. “Let’s try to check the development of our feelings. For example, touch. To do this, you need to put your hand in this bag, feel for some object and try to determine what it is. Who is the bravest? Ask!"
The guys take turns trying to guess what is in their hand. If they succeed, then they take this item as a prize. The bag may contain: an apple, a chocolate bar, a lollipop, a candle, a cup, a felt-tip pen, etc.
Mighty Hurricane
This is fun for little kids. They sit on chairs in a row, and opposite them are the same number of empty chairs. The presenter says that the heroine of the fairy tale “The Wizard of the Emerald City,” Ellie, was carried away by a powerful hurricane to the Magic Land. This kind of hurricane will now carry children to opposite chairs, but only those about whom the presenter says.
“A mighty hurricane caught all the girls!” - The girls must spin around and run to the other side. “And now the hurricane has caught all the boys!” — it was the boys’ turn to spin. “A mighty hurricane has caught up with everyone who loves ice cream!” Etc.
But there may also be joke commands to test attention: “A mighty hurricane has caught everyone who likes to eat frogs”, “A mighty hurricane has caught everyone who doesn’t wash their face”, etc. Children who are playing too hard jump up without listening to the command and end up in a funny situation. position.
Possible commands: "A mighty hurricane has caught those who wear jeans... everyone who has cats... everyone who goes to school... those who are seven years old." This game should be in Father Frost’s repertoire, because he, the great wizard, knows how to blow the wonderful northern wind, and those on whom he blows will immediately be transported to a new place.
Tug of War
This common, fun, noisy game is most often played between children and parents. Children really enjoy competing with their parents; they have no doubt that they will win, and (of course, not without the help of their parents) they win. But it also happens that the participants of the holiday get so excited that a whole tug-of-war championship is organized between families, fathers, mothers, etc.
And we are going to the North
The presenter addresses the two teams: “Guys, we have received a telegram that our expedition needs urgent help at the North Pole. We need to send two brave, and most importantly, hardy guys to the north.”
When worthy guys have been chosen, the presenter says: “Now we need to dress our envoys so that they are not cold at the North Pole. After my command “Start!” Participants must dress their future polar explorers in the warmest clothes in 2-3 minutes. It is better to use only the clothes that the children are wearing. The result is two funny buns, which are very fun to take pictures with. You can also identify the winner by counting which team managed to put more “extra” clothes on their polar explorer.
Fanta
What it is? Children often confuse them with candy wrappers. But in the old days, no holidays were complete without forfeits. A forfeit is a kind of pledge that a participant in the game voluntarily gives to the host. Subsequently, these pledges are played, i.e., the presenter takes turns taking forfeits from a bag or from a hat, and one of the players, standing with his back to the presenter, announces what the owner of the forfeit should do. The one who comes up with tasks must be a creative person, not limited to instructions to just sing a song or recite a poem.
Samoyed dragon
A very energetic and cheerful game, in terms of fun and general excitement it is comparable only to tug of war. This game came to us from the east. Mass holidays in China, Korea, and Vietnam are very bright and emotional. The dragon is always the main character of mass games.
Here is one of such games. It requires a large free space. The more people take part, the better. All players stand one after another, placing their hands on the shoulders of the person in front or holding him tightly by the waist. The one who comes first gets the role of the “head” of the dragon, and the last one, of course, becomes the “tail”. At the command of the leader, accompanied by loud, rhythmic music (in the East, these are drums), the “head” rushes in pursuit of its “tail”. The column of players is as mobile as mercury, the dragon’s “body” wriggles like a real snake. The participants’ task is to not break away from their partner during any turn, sudden acceleration or stopping. The one through whose fault the snake disintegrated leaves the game, and the competition continues.
To catch the “tail,” the head resorts to all sorts of tricks: it abruptly changes the direction of the chase, the rhythm of the race. When the head manages to catch the tail, it becomes the head, and the last player becomes the tail.
When the game is played to music, the movements should be dance-like and correspond to the rhythm and character of the music. The guys stand sideways to each other, holding hands. Anyone who breaks the rhythm is excluded from the game.
Lucky ones
The presenter asks: “Are any of you lucky? Those who are especially lucky? Several hands go up. “We’ll check this now,” says the presenter and takes out a bag from which many multi-colored ribbons hang. “There’s a nice prize tied to one of these ribbons,” explains the presenter. “Let’s see who gets it.”
The guys pull out ribbons, but so far they only come across lollipops. This competition is designed for improvisation by the presenter. Here it is important to sometimes discreetly hold the ribbon with your hand so that the player feels like he is dragging something very heavy. You can ask the guys why they preferred this or that color. You can discreetly hold the ribbon with your hand and say that without solving the riddle or reciting the poem, it will not be possible to pull out the ribbon. This competition is good for any part of the holiday.
Cut the prize!
Threads 50-80 cm long are tied to a rope stretched horizontally at a height of 1.5-2 m. All kinds of prizes are attached to them. If the prize is too heavy, then an envelope with its name is attached. Contestants, one at a time, blindfolded and armed with large scissors with blunt ends (so as not to get hurt), try to cut off their prize. To make the task more difficult, the child is prohibited from helping himself with his right hand.
Auto racing
It is necessary to draw two stripes, indicating the start and finish. The same ropes will be useful for the game. We will tie a toy car to only one end, and tie the other end to the middle of a 30-centimeter stick (you can use part of a mop handle).
Two competitors try to wind the rope around the stick so quickly, rotating it with both hands, so that the machine tied to the other end reaches the finish line first.
In the astronaut's cabin
We know that an astronaut must have everything at hand. During a flight into space, you may need all sorts of items, and you need to be able to quickly take them. Moreover, the astronaut sometimes cannot leave his seat. The astronaut's chair is a chair, space objects are cubes or matchboxes. They are scattered on the floor at arm's length from the astronauts. Task: collect as many cubes as possible without getting up from your chair, without looking up from it. The task completion time is 30 seconds. Toddlers and middle schoolers play this game with abandon. The collected boxes will be useful for the next simple and very exciting competition.
I am the best fireman!
Before the game starts, you need to give the children three pieces of clothing, which they must remember well. These clothes can be ridiculous to make it funnier.
When all the participants have become accustomed to the new costumes, they begin to walk to the music around the chairs standing in a circle, with their backs to the center. After the music stops, the “young firefighters” take off one item of clothing at a time and place it on the nearest chair.
The music sounds again, and the movement of the “firemen” continues until all three pieces of clothing are removed, which, naturally, end up on different chairs. This is where the fun begins.
The presenter shouts: “Fire!”, and the “firemen” begin frantically looking for their things and getting dressed. It is clear that the most efficient wins.
Cinderella
For this competition you will need to examine the contents of kitchen cabinets. You will need peas, beans, lentils, pumpkin seeds, rose hips, nuts, etc. All this must be mixed and offered to the competitors in equal piles. The goal is to sort out this mixture. The one who does it faster and more accurately wins.
For older kids the game becomes more difficult. You need to do the same thing, but blindfolded! The winner is the one who sorts out the most mixture with the fewest errors. This competition is timed.
What's your name, beauty?
At the beginning of the holiday, the host announces that the one who guesses the name of the doll, which is in a prominent place, will receive a prize. The doll's name is written on a piece of paper and placed in a sealed envelope, secured in the shape of the doll's purse (or maybe she is holding it in her hands). Nearby there is a small box or box in which everyone can put a piece of paper with their answer and their last name. If there are several identical answers, then everyone who answered correctly will receive a prize, or it will be played in an additional competition. If the correct answer is not received, the presenter gives a hint: “This is the name of a popular TV presenter,” or: “This name appears in the film...”
Guess how many?
Next to the doll you can place a transparent jar of nuts or caramels (in a wrapper). On the can there is an inscription: “Guess how much?” Children should put their answers written on a piece of paper in the same box where they put the answers with the expected name of the doll. The jar must be at least two-thirds full. The more items there are, the less likely there are to be a large number of identical answers. The results of both competitions are summed up simultaneously, at the end of the holiday. For correctly guessing the number of nuts or candies, the winner can receive the entire jar. This condition of the competition can be announced at the beginning of the holiday or written on the can. What if no one guesses the exact number? Then the winner can be called the one who indicated the number closest to the correct one.
Sprinkball
A very simple and very exciting competition. To conduct it, you need enough space on a flat floor or on a short-pile carpet, tennis balls and syringes (according to the number of participants).
Competitors drive the ball using an air stream from a syringe to the chair opposite, go around it and return to their place. The one who gets to the finish line first wins. The game is accompanied by fierce support from the audience.
Plans
This game always interests all children, they are ready to play it again and again. In addition, it can become the basis for a children's party scenario; it is especially good to display it in the summer outdoors, in the forest.
First you need to prepare several plans. Children, starting their search, are sure that there is only one plan and the prize is almost in their hands. But it was not there! Instead of the treasured treasure, they find the following plan, which says that cautious pirates, fearing treasure hunters, hid the treasure and they should be looked for using a new map. The next cache contains a new plan, and it is only after the fourth or fifth false cache that players finally reach the cabinet or box that contains the prize. And again an obstacle! There is a lock on the cache, and instead of keys there is a note that, for example, says:
Your mind is as sharp as a needle!
The key to the lock on the bookshelf... (the word has either been erased or torn off).
Yes, your head is boiling,
The flower shop has the key...
Instead of one key, the guys find a bunch of all sorts of similar keys. (Parents should try to find old keys in their home storage rooms.) Having picked up the right key, the children finally get to the coveted treasure. This could be a birthday cake that the kids will proudly deliver to the table.
Football fan competition
What could be more popular than football? Today both old people and children are “sick”. Therefore, the guys will gladly respond to the invitation to show their sports erudition. Teams choose captains, they stock up on notepads and pens, and the competition begins.
The presenter invites the teams to remember all the words (nouns) and common phrases related to football and starting with a letter... The presenter names the letter. You are given 3 minutes for this task. Then the captains read their lists one word at a time. Words that have already been spoken cannot be repeated. Whoever has the most words on the list wins.
You can also play a football auction with the guys. In this case, all words are accepted, as long as they relate to football. A word or phrase can be pronounced only while the leader counts to three. The one who says the word last wins.
Here is an approximate small football dictionary:
Referee, attack, out, fan, banner, boots, sideline, gate, goalkeeper, goalkeeper pad, socks, goal, scorer, goalkeeper, defense, zone, game, inside, captain, team, linesman, line, match, attack , offside, pass, semi-final, crossbar, penalty, midfield, field, cross, whistle, free, sector, net, stadium, referee, score, scoreboard, half, underpants, round, corner, kick, final, flank, forward, T-shirt , center, champion, championship, quarter-final, post, penalty area, penalty area, etc.
Cinderella's shoes
This game is especially good when there are approximately equal numbers of boys and girls at the party. The girls' team is "Cinderellas", the boys' team is "Princes". All the “princes” leave the room for a minute, and the “Cinderellas” take off their shoes and randomly put them in one pile. Then the girls sit in a row on the sofa or chairs tightly pushed together, and the leading or helping parents cover them from the knees and above with a sheet or some kind of fabric, like a screen, so that the “princes” who enter see only the bare feet of the future “princesses.” "
Now the boys need to put each “Cinderella’s” shoes on as quickly as possible. Here you need to be very careful and remember what
Each girl came, what socks she was wearing, what kind of foot she had, big or small. Girls should not tell boys or interfere with their difficult task. After all, Cinderella in the fairy tale is a very modest, meek girl, and this is what distinguishes her from her sisters.
When the work is finished, the presenter announces the time during which the boys’ team completed their task, and now invites the girls to leave the room. The teams change roles.
Both teams will make mistakes, that is, they will put on someone else’s shoes for “Cinderellas” and “Princes.” This means that friendship won in this game, and the most important result is a cheerful mood and ringing laughter!
Smart salesman
It would be nice if the store clerks acted as efficiently as children during this game.
The competition participants are divided into two equal teams. Everyone takes off their shoes in the next room and puts them in a common pile. This is a store warehouse. After this, the players return back and turn into “buyers”. Team captains are “sellers”. Their job is to find out what shoes to bring and not make a mistake in choosing a pair.
At the leader’s signal, the children, one by one, begin to describe the shoes they need to bring. Naturally, they describe briefly and ask you to bring your pair. As soon as the information from the “buyer” is received, the “seller” immediately rushes to the “warehouse” and brings the desired pair. The player, i.e., the “buyer,” must behave as in a good store: do not grab the shoes, but only substitute his foot, the “seller” himself will put on his shoes. The “salesperson’s” task is to quickly bring shoes and put them on for all team members. If the “seller” brings the wrong pair, then, of course, he runs for another. While running around, the “salesperson” must behave correctly with his colleague, not push him, they should not collide at the door. And “buyers” need to briefly and accurately describe their shoes. The team whose captain finishes the job first wins.
Mummy
Children sitting at the festive table will definitely want to stretch their legs. To play the game, you need several rolls of toilet paper so that there is enough for several pairs to play. In this game, couples compete with each other. In each pair, one participant wraps the other from head to toe in toilet paper: the wrapping should be quite thick and continuous. Whoever does it faster becomes the winner.
The competition continues. Whoever unwinds his “mummy” faster will win.
Thermometer
This team relay game can shake up a bored group. Several teams compete. Each one has at least 5 people. Players hold a fake thermometer under their left hand (it can be replaced by a large empty plastic bottle) and pass it to each other. You cannot change your hand. The fastest team wins.
Hen and kite
This is an old classic Russian game that our grandparents loved to play. There are 2 main characters in this game. The hen guards the chicks, who line up behind her with their arms tightly wrapped around each other. The first chick holds tightly to the hen's belt. The hen, with her wings spread out, does not allow the kite to approach her chickens. The chicks’ task is to keep up with the hen all the time and not break away from each other. The kite must deceive the hen and the chicks and, unexpectedly turning around, manage to spot the last chick. The kite can win without staining the chicken if the chain of chickens breaks. A spotted or detached chick becomes a kite. The game continues until all the chickens are caught. The duration of the game is determined by the presenter.
Third wheel
In this game, the more players, the better. After all, all players form a circle, standing in pairs - facing the center of the circle, the second behind the back of the first. If there are many participants, then you get a huge circle and an almost solid wall of players. One couple is running: one is running away from the other. You only need to run from the outside of the circle. The runner, sensing that he is being caught up, can escape the chase by standing third to any pair. But he needs to jump inside the circle and take a place in front of the first player of the pair. The one who became the third and has now become superfluous must take off and run away from the chase.
Substitution of players always occurs suddenly; here you must not yawn if the catching player is close. The one who is caught up becomes the driver himself and must now catch up. Children play until they get bored.
Chairs
A very popular and very old game at children's parties. She had many names. And even now there are many variations of this game. The rules are as follows: chairs are placed in a circle, the players sit on them facing the center, and the driver stands in the middle. At his command “Move!” children try to quickly move to another chair. This is the moment when the driver can take a seat. Since the driver cannot push or grab the players with his hands, he deliberately gives several commands in a row in order to create confusion and take the vacated space. At the same time, the driver does not have the right to give a new command if the players have not finished executing the previous one. The one who is left without a place becomes the driver or, for everyone’s joy, pays a forfeit.
Here is a more complex version of this game. All participants are divided into three or four (depending on the number of participants) groups. Each group is the name of a fruit. For example, “apples”, “plums”, “peaches”, etc. Let’s say there are 20 people playing the game. Then each group will have five people: 5 apples, 5 peaches, 5 plums, 5 pears.
Nineteen people sit in a circle, and the twentieth is in the middle, without a seat. He shouts, “Apples!” According to this command, only the “apples” must change places. The driver names the groups, trying to take the vacant seat and hoping that one of the players will make a mistake. If on command: “Plums!” When another “fruit” begins to act, it becomes leading. If the driver gives the command: “Salad!”, then all players change chairs. At any command, the driver can sit in the vacant seat.
Or you can play like this: there are fewer children sitting on chairs than there are chairs. One place is free. The driver strives to take this place, but the children do not allow him to do this, quickly changing seats from place to place. As soon as someone gapes, the driver sits on an empty chair, and his neighbor on the right or left becomes the driver.
Virtuosos
An educational game during which the children will remember the names of some musical instruments and how they are played. Virtuosos are, as we know, musicians who have reached the pinnacle of mastery of their instrument. They often know how to play several musical instruments. So our children will become like them while playing.
The presenter asks one of the participants to go into the next room or turn away and cover their ears. After this, he tells the guys that now they will become an ensemble of virtuosos who will play different instruments. First there will be an ensemble of violinists (the presenter shows in detail how the violin is played, and the guys repeat his movements), then there will be an ensemble of button accordion players, then everyone will play the piano, and at the end - the trumpet. The main thing is to carefully follow the leader and accurately repeat the movements. After this, the driver is called into the room, and the “virtuosos” demonstrate their skills to him. His task is to guess what instruments the guys played. This game requires some knowledge from the world of music, so it cannot be played with completely unprepared children. And if the children have some knowledge, then lesser-known musical instruments can be used in the game.
The game goes well during the game intermission during the concert-lecture. If the presenter has the opportunity, it is good to prepare a phonogram with a recording of the sound of these instruments and turn it on during the game.
Animals in the clearing
This fun and active game teaches children dexterity and attention. Half of the participants (and in this game there should be at least 15-20 children) stand in a circle at arm's length from each other. The result was a “clearing” and “trees” around it. The other half of the players - all except one, the “hunter”, are in the “clearing”, that is, inside the circle. These are "beasts". They dance, jump, have fun, but keep one eye on the “hunter” who is walking around the circle. Suddenly he runs into the circle and begins to “hunt,” that is, to spot the children. “Animals”, fleeing from the “hunter”, hide behind “trees”, that is, they stand behind the backs of those standing in a circle. The condition of the game is that only one “beast” can hide behind one “tree”. Those whom the driver tarnishes leave the game. After several rounds, the game ends, and a new hunter is selected from among the “killed”.
Soft baton
This is a well-known and popular competition all over the world and, perhaps, even boring, but, nevertheless, it is a rare children's holiday without it. A narrow path is laid out with ropes or ribbons. Two participants, armed with pillows, stand opposite each other on this path. At the leader’s signal, they begin to beat each other with their soft and light “clubs.” The winner is the one who forces the opponent to leave the track. You can make the fight more difficult if you invite your opponents to fight while jumping on one leg.
Who is stronger?
In this team game, children will test their strength by pulling each other across a line. To play, you need to draw three lines: one in the middle of the court and two parallel to it on the right and left. The players are divided into two equal teams, line up in two lines and stand opposite each other at their line. Players standing opposite each other approach the center line, grab with their right hands (preferably by the wrists), and put their left hands behind their backs. At the referee’s signal, players begin to pull opponents to their side, trying to drag them over the line behind their backs. The pulled player remains on the opponent's side for scoring purposes. The game ends when all players are drawn to one side or the other. The team that manages to win over more players wins.
The game can be made more difficult: a player who has pulled his opponent can help his teammate by taking him by the belt and pulling him along with him. You can also pull with both hands, holding each other by the shoulders.
The prize is to the studio!
The presenter has four opaque bags prepared, standing or hanging nearby. Each of them has one letter: “P”, “R”, “I”, “3”. Together they form the word "PRIZE". The presenter states that there is a prize in each of these packages! And its name begins with the letter indicated on the package. In the first round, the letter “P” is played. This means the prize starts with the letter “P”. The bag may contain a pencil case, a pistol, a locomotive, a cannon, a puzzle, a package, lipstick, a wig, a poster, etc. Prizes starting with the letter “P”: pen, belt, shell, elastic band, novel (book), shirt, backpack, roll (toilet paper), etc. You can win prizes throughout the holiday.
New Year's games
“Favorite holiday gives
magic, love and
inspired by hope."
F.M. Tyutchev.
Is there any other holiday that almost everyone loves, regardless of age and place of residence? New Year is celebrated not only in Russia, but throughout the world. Most people are busy preparing for the holiday and deciding where, how and with whom to celebrate. New Year's games with Father Frost and Snow Maiden are one of the most long-awaited and fun events for everyone, and especially for children. In the series of intellectual games, New Year's games occupy one of the important places.
The use of ICT at this event makes it vibrant and meaningful. There is an impact on two important organs (hearing and vision), which facilitates the process of perception. New Year's games promote the development of attention, memory, concentration, observation, and thinking. The use of musical accompaniment during games ensures dynamism.
Goals New Year's games:
1. nurturing creative abilities, abilities and skills of collective creative activity.
2. creating a festive mood in children through active participation in the competitive gaming program.
Tasks:
Uniting the children's team;
Formation of the ability to visually control the correctness and accuracy of one’s movements;
Develop the ability to quickly and accurately respond to a new unpredictable production situation and find unexpected and non-standard solutions;
Form a search style of thinking and work, development of communication skills.
This methodological development will be useful for teachers-organizers of additional education and primary school teachers for extracurricular work. A selection of New Year's games near the Christmas tree will allow you to successfully spend this most favorite holiday for children. Games are divided into sections:
round dance games;
games with Baba Yaga;
snowball games;
shouting games (speech games);
games with objects;
winter sports riddles (difficult)
GAMES IN ROUND DANCE
1." Catch the "winter" word"
Invite the children to clap their hands if they hear a word related to winter: blizzard, inflatable ring, winter, snow, Monday, Christmas tree, sea, sleigh, Santa Claus, autumn leaves, bicycle, snowman, dolphin, icicle, snowflake, scissors, Snow Maiden, firecrackers, vacuum cleaner, gifts, skis, etc.
2. "New Year's round dance"
In this New Year’s game, the leader gathers the children in a circle and says: “There are different Christmas trees: wide, and low, and tall, and thin. If I say “high” - raise your hands up, “low” - squat, “wide” - make the circle wider, “thin” - make the circle narrower.” The game begins. The leader gives the children tasks, trying to confuse them.
3. “Smeshinka”
Here's another fun game. It’s called “Smeshinka.” Each child receives a New Year’s name. For example: icicle, Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snowdrift, flashlight, firecracker. The presenter takes turns asking the kids questions: “What’s your name? What’s on your nose? Which one?” "Is it a holiday today? Who's coming to visit us? What did you have for breakfast?" Children answer questions with their “names.” The main condition is that you cannot laugh. Whoever laughs leaves the circle. The most serious one certainly receives a New Year’s gift.
4. "Snowball"
Usually children prepare gifts for Santa Claus in the form of a performance. But it will be more interesting not to just stand under the Christmas tree and recite the routine rhyme, but to play the “Snowball” game first. Everyone passes around a “snowball” made of cotton wool. At the same time, Santa Claus says:
We're all rolling a snowball,
We all count to five.
One two three four five -
Sing a song for you
(And you, my friend, should dance,
Now each participant fulfills the wishes of Grandfather Frost and receives a New Year's gift from him.
5. "Magic box"
6. “Repeat all the movements after me”
Put your feet on your skis, (get your skis on)
Picked up sticks (picked up sticks)
Repeat after us
Funny counting rhymes.
We follow each other
Quiet forest, winter meadow. (skiing)
Ski poles flash
Snowflakes are melting on our noses (we wipe our noses)
One two three four five!
Let's do it together: like this! (jump, raise your hands up)
Once - bend over, straighten up!
Two - jump up, pull yourself up!
Three – clap your hands three times.
Three nods of the head.
By four the rivers are wider,
We raise our hands up.
And then we lower them,
Now let's separate them!
And we’ll quickly press you to us.
And then faster, faster,
Clap, stomp, have fun!
Five, six - sit down quietly.
7. “Ear, nose.”
The presenter invites the children to do the following: grab their nose with their right hand, and their right ear with their left, then clap their hands and change hands, now grab their nose with their left hand, and their left ear with their right. The movements are repeated several times, with acceleration.
8. "New Year's auction"
Players take turns listing everything that happens in the New Year: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, gifts, Christmas tree decorations, needles on the floor, snow, lanterns, etc.
The one who runs out of ideas is out of the game. The most resourceful one wins.
9. “New Year’s warm-up or exercise.”
Once upon a time there was a little gnome (sit down)
With a large cap (hands raised up, folded like a house)
And he walked on foot (we walk in place)
Jumped on a frog (jump)
And he flew on a dragonfly (we wave our hands)
Floated on the water in a tea cup (depicting swimmers)
He rode on a turtle (we walk, slowing down)
And having trodden all the paths,
The gnome swung in the web (tilts to the side)
Morning will come, the gnome will go on a hike again (they walk)
10. “Naughty girls”
All children are located around the hall in a circle. Cheerful music is playing and the players are dancing. As soon as the music stops, the presenter announces: “Puffs!” (children puff) Then the cheerful music plays again, the players dance. At the end of the music, the presenter announces: “Tweeters!” (children squeak) Thus, the game continues further with various pranks: “Chants!” (children scream); “Squealers!” (children squeal); "The funny ones!" (children laugh) and again from the beginning. The order in which pranks are announced changes periodically.
GAMES WITH BABA YAGA
1. "Baba Yaga"
Relay game. A simple bucket is used as a stupa, and a mop is used as a broom. The participant stands with one foot in the bucket, the other remains on the ground. With one hand he holds the bucket by the handle, and in the other hand he holds a mop. In this position, you need to walk the entire distance and pass the mortar and broom to the next one.
2. “Bicycle race on Baba Yaga’s broom”
The bicycle will be replaced by a gymnastic stick in this relay race. Two participants need to ride the stick at once. They are cyclists. Each cycling duo, holding a stick between their legs, will have to ride to the turning point and back. The fastest ones win.
3. “Broom Relay”
Relay game. The participant sits on a broom and walks the entire distance, running around the placed pins, without lifting the broom from the floor.
GAMES WITH SNOWBALLS
1. “Bring the snowball in a spoon!”
2 players participate. They are given a spoon with a cotton snowball in their mouth. At a signal, the children run away from the tree to the designated location. Then they also return to the tree. The winner is the one who comes running first and does not drop the snowball from the spoon.
Game option– 2 bowls with snowballs are placed on one chair near the Christmas tree, empty bowls are placed on another chair in the room. Children must carry snowballs.
2. « The most dexterous"
Father Frost and Snow Maiden (or other characters according to the script) are holding in their hand a hoop entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. Cotton balls (“snowballs”) are poured onto the floor. Children, at the heroes' command, throw lumps into the hoops, then count the number of hits in Santa Claus's hoop and in the Snow Maiden's hoop.
3. “Hit the target.”
(Snowballs are first rolled out of paper. Children are divided into two groups. Each has a snowball in their hands. Everyone needs to get into their own box. The team that collects the most snowballs wins).
4. “Catch a snowball!”
Several couples participate. Children stand opposite each other at a distance of approximately 4 meters. One child has an empty bucket, the other has a bag with a certain number of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). At a signal, the child throws snowballs, and the partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The first couple to finish the game and collect the most snowballs wins.
5. “Collect snowballs”
There are a lot of “snowballs” scattered on the floor (crumpled white paper or balls sewn from white cloth and cotton wool). Children are given baskets or beautifully decorated boxes. You need to collect all the “snowballs” into your baskets as quickly as possible (preferably while listening to music) (you can collect “snowballs” blindfolded).
As a continuation This game can involve throwing snowballs at each other.
6. “Snowballs are flying to the target”
After the previous game, you can test the children’s accuracy: invite them to throw snowballs into a basket or box from a distance of about 2-3 steps (for older children, a different distance is naturally chosen).
7. “Who has a snowball?”
The driver becomes in the center. The rest of the game participants form a tight circle around him. Behind their backs they pass each other a “snowball” (made of fabric and cotton wool). The driver carefully watches the children playing. He must guess who has the snow now and say: “Stop!” If the driver guessed right, then the owner of the snowball takes his place.

Father Frost: Here is a bag - it’s elegant! Let's hold an auction! Whoever actively responds receives the gift!
(In a satin bag there are 7 multi-colored paper bags shaped. The bags are placed one inside the other from large - 80 cm high to small - 50 cm high (like a nesting doll), and tied with bright bows. On each bag, one letter is large marked, making up the word " gifts." During the game, Santa Claus unties the bow and takes the bag out of the bag, holds an auction for each letter and gives a gift to the child who gave his answer last - gifts begin with the corresponding letters. At the beginning of the game, Santa Claus lowers the satin bag to the floor in front of the children a paper bag with the letter “P” appears.)

(Santa Claus unties the bag, takes out a gingerbread, hands it over, then takes out the next one from this bag - with the letter “O”; he places the previous bag on the other side of himself, so the winning bags will be placed next to each other and at the end of the game the children will read the letters with all bags into a single word “gifts”.)
Father Frost: The letter “O” notifies that a festive dinner has been served and invites friends to the table! What’s not on the table! What will you treat your friends to? Name the treats! (Children list holiday treats.)
Father Frost: In the treat you are a scientist, The prize is a gilded nut! (Santa Claus unties the bag, takes out a walnut in gilded foil, and then a bag with the letter “D.”)

Father Frost: You are an exemplary student, I will give you a diary! (Santa Claus unties the bag, hands him the diary and takes out the bag with the letter “A”.)
Father Frost: The letter “A” is about an orange. He wants to ask the kids! Come on, tell Grandfather, what kind of person can he be? (Children describe the appearance and taste of an orange.)
Father Frost: How beautiful the tree is, its outfit beckons the eye! An orange for your health I am very happy to give! (Santa Claus hands over an orange and takes out a bag with the letter “R”.)
Father Frost: The letter “er” gives joy to everyone: Let everyone remember That it brings joy to the mood, without a doubt! (Children remember everything that makes them happy.)
Father Frost: Today it’s a joy for me to deliver a school prize to you - With this pen you can write something with an “A”! (Santa Claus hands over a pen and takes out a bag with the letter “K”.)

9. We know many sports:
Both hockey and skjøring.
And they push a stone across the ice -
It will be... (Curling).
10. Look: the skier is rushing,
And then he flies like a bird,
Taking a leap from the peaks.
And he helped him... (springboard).
11. The sleigh is rushing along the chute,
Ice on both sides.
And here's what it's called
This sport? – ...(Skeleton).
12. Rush down the snowy slopes -
A very courageous sport!
And it will help the champions
In this sport...(snowboarding).
Children are divided into two teams. The first participants in the competition are given a Santa Claus bag. Children need to jump in a bag to the Christmas tree and back. Then the next team players climb into the bags and jump.
"Running in felt boots"
Children are divided into two teams. Instead of bags, they are given huge felt boots of Santa Claus (you can also be given slippers). Children need to run in felt boots to the Christmas tree and back and pass the felt boots to the next participants in the competition. You can arrange such a competition around the Christmas tree.
"Catch Snowballs"
Children are divided into pairs. One has a basket without a handle (a bucket, a beautiful box), the second has a bag with “snowballs” (balls made of fabric and stuffed with cotton wool or made of folded paper). Each child throws a “snowball” to their partner. He tries to catch him with his basket. If the “snowball” flies past, it can no longer be picked up. The couple that has the most snowballs in their basket within a certain time wins (you can turn on music).
“Catch the “winter” word”
Invite the children to clap their hands when they hear a word related to winter:
blizzard, inflatable ring, winter, snow, Monday, Christmas tree, sea, sleigh, Santa Claus, autumn leaves, bicycle, snowman, dolphin, icicle, snowflake, scissors, Snow Maiden, firecrackers, vacuum cleaner, gifts, skis, etc.
"Draw a snowman"
On a large sheet of paper, each child, with his eyes closed, draws a snowman with felt-tip pens. The snowman will turn out even funnier if you divide the children into 2 teams and one of the participants will have to draw the head, the second torso, the third legs and arms, etc. You can invite one of the teams to draw a Christmas tree.
"Balloon"
Each participant in the game is given a balloon. Children throw the ball up and try not to let it fall (but they cannot pick up the ball).
"Blow the Balloon"
A balloon is placed on the table. The first player is called. He is blindfolded and spun in place. Next, the child (blindfolded) approaches the ball and tries to blow the ball off the table. The one who manages to do this will win.
"Wrap a gift"
2-3 children are invited. They are asked to pack a gift (small box) in holiday packaging. And our holiday packaging will be... toilet paper, which needs to be properly wrapped around the box.
"In warm mittens"
Children take turns putting on thick mittens, putting their hands into a bag with different toys and trying to determine by touch what they come across.
"Avoid obstacles"
Skittles are placed on the floor. Children are divided into 2 teams. You have to blindfolded and walk to the end of the room, trying not to knock over any pins.
A variation of this game is for children to stand one after another like a train and walk around the pins first on one side or the other.
“Who has the snowball?”
The driver becomes in the center. The rest of the game participants form a tight circle around him. Behind their backs they pass each other a “snowball” (made of fabric and cotton wool). The driver carefully watches the players. He must guess who has the snow now and say: “Stop!” If the driver guessed right, then the owner of the snowball takes his place.
"Twins"
Two children stand sideways to each other and hug their partner with one arm around the waist. It turns out to be a kind of fat man with two heads, two arms and four legs. Children in pairs are given a task, for example, to fold a piece of paper in half and in half again. It is not simple! After all, the hands are from different people! Tasks for other couples may be as follows: get dressed, swaddle a doll, make an apple or pear out of plasticine, etc.
"Work as Santa Claus"
This competition requires a homemade tunnel, which can be made by sewing a sheet around the edges. The first participant is given a Santa Claus hat and a bag of gifts. He needs to crawl through the tunnel (which is held by adults on both sides), while trying not to lose the bag and cap. Place all the gifts from the bag under the tree, crawl back into the tunnel and pass the bag and hat to the next participant. He crawls through the tunnel again, but with an empty bag. And under the tree, he fills the bag with gifts and returns, etc.
This game can be played by timing each participant or dividing the children into teams (but then 2 tunnels will be required).
