Before the start of the competition, you need to inflate as many white balloons as possible. They will play the role of snowballs. Participants are divided into 2 teams. Each chooses a captain. They are each handed a large trash bag with pre-drilled leg holes. They will fit into this bag and keep the top edge open.
Cheerful music turns on. On the whistle of the leader, the team members begin to collect snowballs scattered on the floor and throw them into the bag for their captain. At the stop signal and at the end of the music, the competition ends. Counting of the collected snowballs begins. The team with the most balls wins.
Game "New Year's cap"
It is worth preparing children for this game in advance. You need to give them the task to learn New Year's poems or songs. The competition begins with building the children in one line or semicircle. Then the dynamic music kicks in. Children begin to move to the music, passing the hat to each other in turn. Suddenly, the music turns off, and the cap remains in the hands of one child. The schoolboy who was left with the cap comes out of the semicircle forward and fulfills the wish of Grandfather Frost - tells him a poem or sings a short song.
Before the start of the competition, you need to arrange the chairs in a semicircle, then seat the children. The presenter of the New Year's holiday gives each student in turn one part of the name of the fairytale hero. For example: Gray ..., Frog ..., Scarlet .... The task of the schoolchildren is to quickly continue the second part of the name of the hero from the fairy tale. If the child did not have time to answer within 10 seconds, then the right to answer is transferred to the participant sitting next to him. The student who did not complete the task is eliminated from the game. At the end of the competition, the winner will receive a sweet prize.
Each New Year is unique, so you should prepare for it in a special way. The brightest and long-awaited holiday of the year deserves to show imagination, think over and contests that will appeal to everyone. To diversify the New Year's Eve with fun entertainment for all ages, we present you a list of the most interesting contests for celebrating the New Year 2017.
What are the New Year contests?
Types of competitions: dance; song; comic; for children or, on the contrary, for adults; contests for youth; with dressing up; for erudition or drawing; team or single; ; family; movable, etc.
Depending on which company will gather for the New Year 2017, a competitive program should be selected. If these are unfamiliar people, then it would be appropriate to come up with New Year's entertainment and contests, during which the audience will have the opportunity to get to know each other better. If a large number of children are planned for the holiday, then you should think over a separate program for them, otherwise they will not be interested in watching only how adults are having fun, and their impressions of the holiday will not be the best. For young people, mobile, cheerful New Year's contests are better suited, while older people will gladly take part, for example, in song contests.
Hilarious and funny contests for the New Year 2017
Correct organization of competitions
In order for the holiday to be as fun as possible, it is worth attracting all those present to participate in the contests. But not everyone is easy going. Many are shy, especially if the company is unfamiliar. Therefore, there are several tricks aimed at attracting everyone, even the most motionless guests of the holiday, to participate in the New Year's entertainment. 
1. Start your contests no earlier than the first toast.
This is a simple rule, and it is perfect for New Year 2017. It is not recommended to start the holiday program too early. It is necessary that people get used to it, take a closer look at each other, eat and drink. Alcohol will help you feel some liberation, which will come in handy for further participation in competitions.
2. Do not let the audience at the New Year's table only ate.
A person who overeats becomes sedentary and clumsy. Distribute the time at the table so that there is a minute for a snack, and for a good toast, and for a group game.
3. Alcohol at the New Year's table is a frequent guest, but it can also ruin the holiday.
Therefore, too frequent toasts will quickly incapacitate guests, maybe not all, but who, for sure, would not mind taking part in the merry New Year's entertainment.
Cool New Year's games and entertainment for the Year of the Rooster 2017
Competition for children "Symbol of the Year 2017 - Rooster"
If the kids are of different ages, it can be difficult to bring them together with one idea. Therefore, you should come up with such games, as well as entertainment that will be interesting for older children, but the kids will be too tough. For example, such a simple and widespread competition for. In this case, the Fire Rooster acts as a symbol. Ask all participants to crow or play a rooster. The one who best portrays the Rooster naturally wins.
New Year's competition "Surprise" for adults
Prepare balloons according to the number of participants. In each of them, attach a note with an assignment. Guests must choose a ball and burst it without using their hands, after which they must complete the task: dance rock and roll, solve a riddle, etc.
"Gift for the New Year" - fun for the whole family
Warn guests to prepare small souvenirs (one per person). When entering the room, hang an opaque bag in which everyone will put their gift. During the celebration, Santa Claus or the organizer himself, having mixed gifts in the bag, distributes something from the bag to each of those present without looking. But the person receiving the gift must definitely stand on the chair and recite a rhyme or sing. Thus, everyone will receive their New Year's gift, and no one will be left offended.
Talent show
If you know the attendees well, then prepare assignments for them in advance. Perhaps someone sings well, someone draws, etc. Ask each of them to show their talent (people love when they are allowed to prove themselves in what they are really strong in): sing a song about the New Year, draw a fun picture for everyone (for example, with felt-tip pens on an album sheet), and then hang it on the wall. For each talent, the participant receives a sweet prize (chocolate, biscuit or something else) with the words: for example, "Best singer of the year."

With the arrival of the first winter days, the realization appears in my head that in just a few weeks the most long-awaited holiday of all 12 months will come - New 2017. Before his arrival, it is worth thoroughly preparing for a whole list of items, so that on New Year's Eve not only look beautiful and eat fabulous food, but also have fun with the marked time.
Usually, on the eve of the New Year at home, colleagues at work begin to celebrate this holiday on the 29th or 30th. In order not to turn this celebration into an ordinary meal with festive toasts, you should come up with fun and interesting contests for the team.
Lunar rover
One of the most interesting and fun games for a drunken company of adults. For its implementation, it is necessary that all become in a circle. The presenter chooses one volunteer, who enters the circle and, with the words "I am Lunokhod-1" and a very serious expression on his face, begins to pace around its perimeter. And then - it's up to the drunk company. Whoever laughs at this picture first, is the next to enter the circle and already says: "I am Lunokhod-2". The game continues until there is someone in the circle to laugh.
The funniest contest "Turnip"
For a tipsy New Year's company, such a game is considered very suitable - bursts of laughter are guaranteed to you. To conduct such a competition, 7 participants and 1 presenter are required. For each of the players, a piece of paper is issued on which his hero is written, and the words that will have to be used in the future game. 
Turnip - claps his hands on his knees, then applauds and says: "Oba-na."
Grandfather rubs his hands and says: "Tek-s".
Grandma - angrily points her fist at his grandfather and says: "I would kill."
The granddaughter - (preferably a man of solid size), shrugs her shoulders and says with a sigh: "I'm ready."
The bug begins to scratch intensively behind the ear and says: "The fleas are tortured!"
Cat - shakes the back of the body and says: "And I am on my own."
Mouse - looks at everyone else and sadly says: "Got it!".
Now the presenter begins to read the text of a well-known folk tale familiar to everyone, and the heroes, having heard the mention of themselves, read their text. For example:
“Grandfather (Tek-s) planted a Turnip (Oba-na). The Turnip (Oba-na) has grown big-big. Grandfather (Tek-s) began to pull the Turnip (Oba-na). Pulls-pulls, cannot pull. Grandfather called ("Tek-s) Grandma (I would kill) ..." and so on.
The main fun begins at the moment when the words "Grandfather for Turnip, Grandmother for Grandfather ..." come. A little advice: before the start of the "performance" it is worth holding a "dress rehearsal" so that the finished version of the fairy tale will turn out to be more impressive. Believe me, absolutely everyone will hold their bellies and laugh to tears.
Guess who!
This fun competition features 6 main players and spectators. The acting character is handed out a piece of paper with one of the most famous poems by Nekrasov:
"Once upon a time in the cold winter time,
I went out of the forest; there was a bitter frost.
I look, slowly rises up the hill
A horse carrying brushwood.
And, marching importantly, in a calm calm,
A little man leads the horse by the bridle
In big boots, in a sheepskin sheepskin coat,
In big mittens ... and with a fingernail himself! "
As an addition, there is a piece of paper that says:
- court verdict;
- declaration of love;
- congratulations on the anniversary;
- commentator of a football match;
- notation to the student from the director;
- tenderness at the sight of a child.
Now each of the participants should read the marked verse with the intonation that is written on the additional piece of paper. But everyone else should guess what is encrypted on the additional piece of paper.
Grandma Hedgehog
To conduct the marked game, it is necessary to divide all the players gathered at the celebration into two teams. The captain of the newly created team is selected, who is awarded the main attributes of the competition: a bucket and a mop. In this case, both participants should stand with their feet in the bucket, holding it with one hand, and in the other at this time there should be a mop. In such uniforms, the captains will have to "fly" to a certain point and come back. The game is considered over at the moment when the last member of the team reached the finish line.
The smartest
Only women or girls take part in this competition. Before the start of the game, all of them need to line up the rear to the chairs, and then blindfold. At this time, someone puts various objects on the chairs, after which the participants can be seated on a similar “bed”. Now dear ladies, with the help of the most important organ of instinct in their body, must understand what is on the chair. Believe me, laughter during such a competition will be over the roof to the accompaniment of cheerful music and drunken company. 
Surprise assignment
When choosing funny contests for the 2017 New Year for adults, you should pay attention to this version of the game. To carry it out, you will need to prepare in advance, for which we write assignments on small pieces of bright paper, twist them and put them into a balloon. Now it needs to be inflated and given to each guest arriving for the New Year 2017 with such a balloon in one copy. The guest should burst this balloon, find a task in it and, of course, complete it.
Tasks can be very diverse:
- dance rock and roll;
- sing a song about the New Year;
- tell a rhyme while standing on a chair;
- show how the chimes strike on New Year's Eve;
- eat a few slices of lemon without sugar;
- call Santa Claus and Snow Maiden very loudly;
- guess the riddle.
The main objective of this competition is that you need to burst the balloon without using your hands. Do you know how much fun it will be?
Crocodile
One of the most common and fun tasks for a drunken company. All participants in the feast should be divided into two teams, the participants of each of which should come up with some tricky word and think of it to a volunteer from the "enemy side". The same person must show the rest of his team this word so that they can guess it. True, in this case, the demonstrator must be silent, like a fish, and use only gestures for demonstration.
New Year's prediction
A similar competition is held at the end of the feast for those who "lived" to the sweet table. To carry it out, you need to buy or bake a pie, cut it into the number of pieces, how many guests should be at the feast, and lightly shove a miniature tube with a drawn prediction inside each piece. It will be according to this drawing that it will be possible to conduct fortune-telling what awaits everyone present in the next 2017.
List of predictions with decoding:
It's worth eating a piece of cake to find out your future. True, it is better to warn guests in advance that there is a small note in it so that someone does not inadvertently swallow it. By the way, it is good when each of those present independently chooses the piece they like so that the prediction will really pass blindly. It is interesting to record the resulting fortune-telling on video and then compare at the end of the year with the real result.
For a cheerful adult company, it is necessary to prepare as many various humorous contests as possible, with the help of which the meeting of the New Year 2017 will be remembered by each of those present for a long time. Happy Holidays!
Entertainment for the New Year is a great way to cheer up and take a break from tasting delicious dishes for a while. You should not sit with a smart look at the table and enjoy the next bowl of Olivier.
Don't be afraid to sound funny! Have fun! It doesn't matter how old you are, what company you are in and what position the tablemate holds. Meet the New Year 2019 with jokes, dances and songs, but do not forget about the limits of decency.
If you are in doubt whether you have enough imagination to organize New Year's entertainment, take a look at our tips. You will surely find here bright, interesting contests suitable for your guests.
For a fun company
Are your friends and colleagues free to participate in contests, love jokes, and aren't afraid to look funny? You are lucky! You can limit the flight of fantasy only with common sense and a sense of tact.
Baba Yaga
This competition is perfect for gay men. The guests are divided into two teams. You will need two handkerchiefs, two mops and two buckets.
It's simple: you need to tie a scarf on your head, pick up a mop instead of a broom, stand with your foot in a bucket like a mortar and go from the start to the finish line. The winner is the team whose Grandma-Yozhki will be the first to finish the relay. Don't forget to prepare a gift for the winners.
Who is superfluous?
A good old competition that invariably evokes a lot of positive emotions and fun. No complicated props needed. Remember: participants - ten, chairs - nine.
Place the chairs in a circle with their backs to each other. While the music is playing, the participants run around, the music has died down - you need to take a free seat. After one chair you need to remove.
The game continues until there is only one winner. This competition is usually attended by even quiet people who are shy of more "daring" contests.
The fastest poetry
The facilitator's task is to find verses on a different topic in advance and leave the first one or two lines in each of them. Look for words at the end of phrases for which you can find funny rhymes.
Continuation comes up with guests. The more interesting the beginning, the more fun the ending can be.
For gourmets
You can pick up New Year's entertainment for guests who do not want to run and jump. Invite two representatives of the stronger sex who know a lot about food. Blindfold them.
The bottom line: recognize by the smell which dish is on the tray. The winner receives a medal for "True Gourmet" and portions of dishes, the names of which he guessed.
Symbol of the year
Ask the guests present to depict the symbol of the coming year. The point is that they have to show the emotions of the pig. Yes, and pigs have emotions. Therefore, there is no way without a good sense of humor and acting skills in this competition. Prepare cards with assignments in advance.
At the holiday, guests take turns taking out one card and completing tasks. For example show:
- happy pig;
- how the pig was offended;
- a mumps with appetite;
- the pig, which decided to hide the acorn until better times;
- a pig that sings on the stage of the opera house.
The flight of imagination, both yours and your guests', is endless.
New year alphabet
If the guests are tired of outdoor games and competitions, it's time to sit down at the table and announce a competition for the best toast. Moreover, the first word in each congratulation must begin with a new letter of the alphabet. On "A" or "B" it is easy to come up with an interesting toast, but on "Y" or "Y" - not very much. The more fun the company is, the more original Happy New Year greetings you will hear.
Hello Dedushka Moroz
Everyone knows the beginning of this poem, but you can end the poem in different ways. Announce a competition for the best continuation of this poem.
The creations of novice poets usually evoke loud laughter and vivid emotions. Remember medals for winners.
Fairy tale in a new way
Come up with your own fairy tale. Not very long, with famous characters. A funny scene will entertain participants of all ages. The audience will also be satisfied.
See how brightly the participants of the New Year's holiday played the tale of the funny Princess. Even those who were immediately embarrassed by the scene, later entered the role and had fun from the heart.
Mutual assistance on the road
This fun competition will bring excitement if the company is a little bored.
You will need a simple props: several multi-colored ribbons, scarves or belts, each of which is tied in a circle with a diameter of about 80 centimeters. The circles are laid out on the floor and represent cars.
At the beginning of the competition, the number of "cars" is equal to the number of those participating in the competition. To the cheerful music, the people, dancing, chaotically move around the room. As soon as the music stops, everyone takes their "car", standing in the center of the circle.
Then one of the "cars" has an "accident" and is eliminated from the game. The number of "drivers" remains the same. Music sounds again, and the participants of the competition actively move around the room. The music suddenly stops, and the "driver" left without his own "car" must join one of the happier "car owners".
Thus, after each stopping of the music, one of the “cars” “gets into an accident” and leaves the game, while the number of “car owners” remains unchanged. The "driver" leaves the game only if he did not have time to jump into someone else's "car" in time. It's very funny at the very end of the competition to squeeze into one not very large circle for all "horseless drivers"!
Imagination game
This entertainment will appeal to those who love cool contests for the New Year. Let's have some fun in the first hours of 2019! This game can be played without leaving the festive table.
You just need to prepare in advance: write different words and concepts on identical pieces of paper (one piece of paper - one word). For example: "Barbie Doll" or "Kayaker". Three more smaller pieces of paper should contain the words: Show, Tell, and Draw. You will also need a notebook and a pencil.
Each of the participants in turn draws out a piece of paper with a word and randomly chooses a way of explanation from the three suggested:
- If he gets “Show”, he must depict what is written on his piece of paper, without saying a word. Just imagine how you can show the Aeroexpress or the invisible man!
- “To tell” - to explain the given concept in words, without using the same root words.
- Everyone copes with "Draw" to the best of their talent as an artist.
Three minutes are allotted for each explanation. Anyone who does not meet this time is eliminated from the game.
The player who was the first to utter exactly the words on the card is given this card as a reward. The participant who has accumulated the largest number of pieces of paper by the end of the game wins.
New Year's corporate party - 2019: contests, surprises, fun
After office workdays, you really want to rest, relax and show yourself at the holiday in all its glory. Entertainment and contests for the New Year for a corporate party should be fun, versatile.
Be careful! If the contests are too loose, you will hardly be able to hide incriminating photos, phone videos that always appear after seemingly funny entertainment with bananas on a string and dancing on a newspaper.
Dance with a wish
While the music is playing, the members of the band pass a New Year's toy around. The music died down - you need to wish your colleagues a Happy New Year. The melody sounded - the toy is again passed in a circle. Let at least ten people express their wishes.
Look into the future
The host brings two hats. One contains questions, the other contains answers. Each employee takes one note from both caps. Sometimes it turns out a slender row, but more often funny phrases form that amuse everyone present.
Hello, we are looking for talents
If your coworkers aren't shy about performing in public, give them the task of putting together a fun act. For example: "Dance of the Little Swans" (for three large men), parodies of famous artists, etc.
Usually no one refuses. During the performance of such numbers, even strict bosses laugh up to colic.
Crocot
A variation of the famous "crocodile". Only the words will have to be explained not with comical gestures and scenes, but only with lips. This video will help you understand how to set up a contest and make sure it's really fun.
Wardrobe
After the first table, when the embarrassment is gone, have this fun contest. Pick two pairs and give them a bag of clothes. Objective: to put on the second person all the things you brought.
Be sure to blindfold the participants. And by all means put a couple of women's clothes in a bag of men's clothes. The first couple to attach the entire set wins. The result can be quite funny.
Dancing with balls
For energetic people. The more people there are, the more fun. Tie a balloon to the participants' left leg. While dancing with your right foot, you need to burst it. The winner is the one for whom the ball remains intact for the longest time.
Competition with an orange
Young people willingly participate in this entertainment. Pick three or four pairs, give them an orange each. The starting position is to press the orange with your foreheads and perform dance movements, trying not to drop the fruit.
The most interesting thing begins when the presenter turns on fast music or something like "Tsyganochka". The couple holding the orange wins.
Sly Santa Claus
Two or three people are needed. Grandfather Frost puts a gift on the chair and announces that the most efficient participant at the "Three" count can take it.
The trick is that the cunning sorcerer counts "1,2, 10, 20, 33, 100, 1000, and so on." It is very easy to get confused. Santa Claus needs to catch the moment when the participants get tired of waiting for a new number and name the long-awaited "Troika".
The most attentive wins. The competition should last no more than five minutes, otherwise the participants will get tired and everyone will get bored.
Stigma in the cannon
Do you know who they are talking about? True, but the competition is about something else. You will need to prepare a basin, you can go deeper. Pour as many children's balls as possible into it, and also put apples. The task of the participants without the help of hands, with only face and teeth alone, pull all the apples out of the basin. Whoever shows the best time wins.
Karaoke
New Year's party contests should be simple and fun. Singing karaoke always causes bouts of laughter and cheers up. As old as the world, but always works.
The correct selection of melodies will help to avoid the emotional outpourings of drunken guests. Find hits that are positive.
Family celebration
If you are celebrating the New Year 2019 with your household, turn an ordinary feast into a bright holiday. The more spacious your apartment or house, the more mobile fun you can offer your loved ones. Entertainment and contests for the New Year with the family should interest both adults and children.
Turnip
Play out a famous fairy tale. Write the names of the characters on a piece of paper. Let the adults and children pull out their roles with their eyes closed.
Turn on the music and start telling a fairy tale from the author, and let the heroes insert replicas according to the meaning. It often turns out that for some reason the granddaughter speaks in a bass voice, and the role of the mouse-savior went to the dad, who resembles a kind giant.
The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree
Another version of a musical scene, when children and adults, who have analyzed the roles of "Frost", "Fir-trees", "Snowstorms" and other characters, begin to depict the action taking place in the song to the music.
No record, it doesn't matter. The song can be performed by one of the guests. Fun guaranteed.
Funny caterpillar
Entertainment and contests for the New Year at home for all family members are just what you need for a good mood. For this fun, a leader is chosen, all the others stand in a row, take each other by the waist and squat. It turns out a "real" caterpillar.
At the command of the leader, she must dance, go to bed, move forward and backward. This competition is often laughable, especially among children.
Favorite hero
Give everyone a balloon and a dark marker.
The task is simple: turn an ordinary ball into a hero of a fairy tale or cartoon. Time to work is no more than five minutes. The winner is the artist whose character was guessed the fastest. For the little ones, prepare “comforting” sweet prizes for 2nd and 3rd place.
You can continue to remember your favorite heroes and learn from children, and let the adults strain their memory that Winnie the Pooh asked Heel, a brother of the symbol of the upcoming 2019. Here is a video quiz.
Try to celebrate this New Year brightly and cheerfully. Funny jokes, skits, contests and entertainment will unite your team, bring joy to your family and give warmth of friendly hearts. Experiment! You will succeed!
How fun it is to spend New Year's Eve with your family! It's great when everyone is at home and rejoicing together. But often this joy is not long: the news ends, anecdotes and funny stories are not remembered, and everyone starts to simply examine them for hours. This should not be so, so we have prepared funny contests for the new year 2017 for the family, which will be great at home. Watch contests and play with the whole family!
Competition - Hunger Games!
At the very beginning of the evening, all the guests are hungry. They are ready to eat whatever is on the table. But we have to wait a little longer.
And to make the wait more fun, let's play a little game - the hunger games! The essence of the game is to take food of a certain color from the table faster than others. The host speaks or shows the color, and the guests should take food of that color on their fork.
If you do not want to spoil the table setting at the beginning of the feast, then you can skip the food. And just name a salad or something edible, where there is a product of the desired color. And already when everyone has played enough, then you can start eating with a good appetite.
Competition - this is KU-KA-Kino!
And this is a competition for knowledge of cinema and TV series. You are showing a video where one freeze frame appears first. In this freeze frame, all the faces of the characters are hidden under the masks of a rooster and chickens. Guests make a guess and name the movie or TV series. And then the second freeze frame is turned on, where the actors are without masks. And everyone can see what kind of film it is. Whoever guesses the most is the winner!
Competition - dancing in the style of animals!
Have you ever seen animals dance? If not, then it's not scary, you yourself will show it! Or rather, your guests will show you, who will amuse you and have fun themselves!
For the competition, you need animal cards. We put all the cards in a bag. Each guest in turn takes out one card and looks at it. You cannot show it to others! Then he goes to the center and begins to dance, as this animal can dance. And other guests guess what kind of animal dances they are! The one who guessed it, draws the card next.
Competition - such different cocks!
And in this competition you will have to show different roosters. Again, you need cards, but they will tell you which rooster to show you.
For example:
- the rooster is frozen.
- a rooster courting a hen.
- the rooster thinks about life.
- the rooster saw the grill chickens spinning on the spit.
Competition - will we sing, cockerel?
Do you want to sing? Let's! And we will sing New Year's songs. Although how to sing? Crow!
Again, we need cards. On which the names of the songs will be written. For example, a song - a Christmas tree was born in the forest. Whoever took out this card, he crows a song, its motive. And the rest of the guests, realizing what kind of song, I begin to sing along, that is, to humor. The result is a wonderful choir.
