FUN FROM FROST

16 games for New Year's parties

I know that teachers always have difficulties with games when writing scenarios. My games have been held for many years. Children like them very much, and if Grandfather also plays Frost and other characters then sheer delight!

NEW YEAR'S AUCTION

Players take turns listing everything that happens in the New year: Grandfather freezing, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, gifts, Christmas toys, needles on the floor, snow, lanterns, etc.

Anyone who runs out of ideas drops out of the game. The smartest wins.

THE MOST ADVANCED

Grandfather Frost and Snow Maiden(or other characters according to the script) holding in their hand a hoop entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. Cotton balls are poured onto the floor ( "Snowballs"). Children, at the command of the heroes, throw lumps into the hoops, then the number of hits in the hoop is counted Santa Claus and in the hoop of the Snow Maiden.

Dress up the Christmas tree

In front of the main tree are two small Christmas trees and two boxes with unbreakable Christmas toys ... Three people are called for each tree. By command Santa Claus children dress them up... Whoever decorates his Christmas tree faster and more accurately with all the toys from the box wins.

It is good to play the game with cheerful rhythmic music. Children stand in a circle. Grandfather freezing or the presenter of the holiday begins the game by shifting the hat from his head to the head of a nearby child, he, in turn, shifts the hat from his head to the head of a neighbor, and so on in a circle. By command Santa Claus(clap, whistle, staff blow) the movement stops, and the one on whom at that moment the hat was left must dance, sing or tell a winter poem, proverb, and make a riddle.

PORTRAIT SANTA CLAUS

1st option (individual).

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

2nd option (collective).

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

SNOWFALL REVERSE

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

WHO IS BIGGER?

Grandfather freezing, Snow Maiden or Snowman suits "snowfall"- throws up a whole bunch of paper snowflakes. Children are given baskets in their hands. At the signal, players begin to collect snowflakes in a basket. The one who has more snowflakes wins.

CHOOSE WHAT YOU WANT

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

BAG OF SURPRISES

Two children are competing (in turn)... The first one is blindfolded and given a small bag containing various toys (cubes, balls, nesting dolls, cars, etc.). Task: remove objects from the bag and identify them by touch. The player must answer what kind of thing he got. Then the toys are changed and the game is repeated with the second participant. The winner of the two is the one who guessed correctly greatest number toys.

NEW YEAR CONCERT

Cards with new year illustrations: Christmas tree, round dance, snowflake, icicle, skis, sledges, etc. Children take turns taking out a card and, having looked at an image on it, should read a poem about it or sing an excerpt from a song.

MUSIC CAROUSEL

Chairs are placed in a circle (there are 1 fewer of them than those who play)... Among the playing grandfather Frost or Snowman... Music sounds, all the participants in the game start running around the chairs. As soon as the music stops, all the children quickly try to take their places. The adult hero plays half-heartedly (giving in, pretending that he does not have time to sit on a chair all the time. Since all the seats are occupied by children, he will have to dance for everyone or give out gifts.

PRIZE FOR "THREE!"

Two participants stand opposite each other, a prize lies in front of them on a chair.

Grandfather Frost thinks:

"One two Three. twelve! "

"One two Three. dtsat! "

The winner is the one who is attentive and the first to take the prize when Grandfather Frost will say: "Three!"

The winner is the one who more accurately, faster and more correctly assembles the snowman, using all the prepared parts.

Large snowflakes are cut into triangles. Are laid out around the tree. Task: while fun moving music is playing, put all the details together. The winner is the one who fits into the music and puts everything neatly.

FUNNY RATTLE

Grandfather freezing competes with children in sacking or jumping on one leg around the tree. One condition obligatory: after running around or jumping to the agreed place, you need to take a rattle - maracas on a chair in front of the tree and ring it.

CATCH UP THE VALENOK

Interesting and funny contests and games for New Years holiday v kindergarten.

Simple and addicting New Year games for preschoolers.

Become!

Santa Claus builds some of the children according to some criterion: height, hair length, strength, etc. And the task of the rest of the children is to guess what criterion he chose.

Fourth - superfluous

Santa Claus puts a doll, a bear, a plate, a cube in front of the children. Then he asks: "What is superfluous and why?" That's right, the plate is the dishes, and all the other items are toys.

chamomile

Santa Claus takes out a camomile made of paper. There should be as many petals as there are children. Funny tasks are written on the back of each petal. Children tear off the petals and begin to fulfill them: they walk in single file, crow, jump on one leg, sing a song, repeat a tongue twister ... And Santa Claus and Snow Maiden give them gifts.

Head, shoulders, knees

Santa Claus asks: "Guys, do you remember where your head is?" - "Yes!" “Then put your hands on your head. So wonderful! Now on your shoulders. Fine. (Santa Claus carries out all the commands together with the children.) And - knees. Well done! And now, be careful: I will say one thing, and show (completely different. Try not to get lost! "

Santa Claus takes his head with his hands and says: "Knees!" etc.

Cat and mouse

Santa Claus and Snegurochka arrange chairs in a circle, with the seats inward. Half of the children sit on chairs - they will be "mice". Let the rest stand behind - these are "cats". One "cat" should not have enough "mouse", that is, she will have to stand behind an empty chair. She winks at some strange mouse. The task of this "mouse" is to run across and sit on an empty chair. And the task of the "cat" standing behind is to prevent her from doing this. If you didn’t keep it, let it wink at another "mouse" now. Of course, kids will certainly want to be both a "cat" and a "mouse". And therefore, after some time, Santa Claus and Snow Maiden will change their roles.

Princess on the Pea

Santa Claus says: “Sometimes people do not even assume that they are in fact princes or princesses. And it also happens that they guess about it, but do not know how to be sure. And today you have a rare opportunity to find out who is who. First, let's check if there are princesses among us. Who is first?" One of the girls is called. Santa Claus says: "In the fairy tale" The Princess and the Pea ", the future princess felt a pea after 9 mattresses. Now the task is much easier: without using your hands, determine how many chupa-chups you are sitting on." Santa Claus puts a bag with 3-7 sweets on a chair , the girl sits down ... It is not always possible to determine the quantity. To make it not offensive, the presenter says: "No, you are not a princess, but a countess."

If a boy raises his hand, Santa Claus says: "In order to choose a prince, we will hold another competition in which you can show your strength in fair combat."

Reach for the prize

And this competition can be held by the Snow Maiden. The winner of the previous competition ("princess") sits on a chair, turns to face the audience. The Snow Maiden says: “Well, we already have a princess! So we just need to choose a prince for her. Who wants to show their strength and dexterity? " Two boys, approximately equal in strength and weight, take each other right hand by the wrist, while the left hand is free. Prizes are placed at an equal distance from them. Everyone needs to reach out to their own, and therefore, drag their opponent. The winner receives the prize from the hands of the "princess". The loser receives a consolation prize.

The Snow Maiden announces the "prince" and "princess" as hosts of the ball. They invite everyone to the table, where a festive dessert is prepared.

This is me, this is me, these are all my friends!

Santa Claus and Snegurochka take turns asking the children questions, and they answer with the same phrase. You can think of a lot of questions. The main thing is to have fun.

- Who walks to school every day in a merry band?

- Which of you, tell me aloud, catches flies in class?

Fly ball ...

Santa Claus tosses balloon... While the ball is flying, you can move, but as soon as it touches the floor, everyone should freeze and not even smile.

If they guess right, then they take this item for themselves as a gift.

The first one to find it gets an incentive prize.

At the signal of Santa Claus, the teams of the centipedes rush forward, bend around the chair and return to the starting point.
