To the cheerful music, the players must pass it to each other, alternately putting it on the head of the next participant. As soon as the leader turns off the music or, for example, beats the staff on the ground, the one who was wearing a hat should recite a verse or sing a New Year's song.
2. "Merry Carousel" Chairs are placed around the Christmas tree, one less than the participants in the game. To the music, children, together with Grandfather Frost or Snowman (adults), begin to run around the Christmas tree, and as soon as the music stops, everyone should take their places.

Funny contests for children for the New Year

Young children are very fond of taking part in the fun, because in addition to a good mood, they receive many prizes.

But there are some features in working with kids, so I would like to advise the following:

• kids quickly switch attention, so you should not hold protracted contests and it is better to make them dynamic;
• several competitions in a row can tire small participants, so you should dilute them with musical breaks and performances by small artists;
• be sure to give a lot of gifts not only to the winners, but also to the participants.

We offer a selection of diverse competitions, where there is a place for both active children who love attention, and shy, but no less charming children.

We drive, we drive a round dance

At any holiday there are picky people who are difficult to captivate with something or children who are quickly distracted and lose interest in what is happening. It is quite difficult to entertain these kids, but there is a fun that almost all children like, regardless of age - a round dance around the Christmas tree.

To the songs In the forest a Christmas tree was born and the Little Christmas tree is cold in winter, the children are merrily circling around a beautiful festive Christmas tree.

Game What a Christmas Tree

The host announces the rules of the game. First you should ask, where do Christmas trees grow? Having received an answer, the presenter continues the story that Christmas trees are high, low, wide and thin. Next, the guys stand in a circle and hold hands.

They should raise their hands if the facilitator is talking about high trees, squat, when we are talking about low trees, make the circle wider when they hear about wide Christmas trees and snuggle closer to each other when there are words about thin firs.

Musical competition

The competition will be held with the use of the song About the Good Beetle from the movie Cinderella as the musical accompaniment.

The children should repeat the movements that are sung in the song:

1. Stand up, children, stand in a circle, stand in a circle, stand in a circle! Clap your hands, do not spare your hands! Jump like bunnies: jump and jump, jump and jump! Now stomp, not sparing your feet!
2. We will take our hands as soon as possible, more cheerfully and raise our hands up, we will jump above all! We put our hands down, stomp with our right foot, we stomp with our left foot and turn our heads!

These couplets should be repeated twice so that the baby has time to jump and stomp properly.

Christmas Tree Game

Children are divided into two teams and in front of each, at a short distance, they set up an artificial Christmas tree. Teams are provided with a basket of unbreakable toys. Then cheerful music is turned on, to which a team member takes one toy, runs to a tree, hangs an ornament on its branch and returns to the team.

Only after the return of the player has the right to run the next contestant. The team that decorates the Christmas tree the fastest wins. Entertaining young children is a difficult task, but burning eyes and a sea of ​​\u200b\u200blaughter will be a worthy reward for the efforts made.

And do not forget to reward all the little participants, at a young age it is very important to receive even a small prize for participation.

Competitions for elementary school children

Grown up children require more serious competitions.

Dancing and outdoor fun has not been canceled, but it is possible to introduce intellectual puzzle games into the program.

To compete you will need:

• gift bags;
• boxes with unbreakable toys;

In this competition for children for the New Year, from 2 to 4 applicants are selected, preferably boys, because the stage image is more male. Each participant is blindfolded and taken to the toy boxes and explained that they should fill their gift bag with decorations, but only one item can be taken out of the box. Then cheerful music is turned on for 30-40 seconds, and the children begin to complete the task.

The winner is the one with the most toys in the bag.

We look under the tree

The attributes of the game competition will be the following things:

• large beautiful bags;

The competition is individual, several girls are selected from those who wish. The chairs are covered with clothes turned inside out. The task of the girls is to turn them out as quickly as possible, put on all the elements of clothing and at the end shout out congratulations - Happy New Year!

New Year's games for children 10-12 years old at school

Despite the fact that adolescence is already close, children aged 10-12 still love children's New Year's games. But it is already possible to select contests with subtle humor and count games for boys and girls who may already like each other.

And the Christmas tree loves

Christmas games for kids don't have to be a highlight holiday program. There are competitions that can be held before the feast.

And the Christmas tree loves - a children's New Year's warm-up competition at the beginning of the holiday, designed to stir up only the guests who have come. Grandfather Frost appeals to those present with a request to help figure out what his Christmas tree loves. He says the words, and the children must loudly confirm or deny with the words Yes or No.

The chairs are arranged back to back so that the participants do not see each other. Next, the children tie their hands behind their backs so that there is no temptation to help themselves with them, and to the cheerful music they have to eat corn sticks for a minute. The one who ate more of the opponent won.

New Year's competitions for children and adults at home

Meeting a magical night in a warm family company is very good, because busy families do not often manage to do this, and fun games and contests will help unite and tune in to a festive mood.

Game Pass to Another

The leader puts in a bag items of clothing from those that he finds in the apartment. To the groovy music, the bag is passed in a circle between the guests sitting at the festive table.

When the music stops, the participant who has the bag in his hands must, without looking, take the thing out of it and put it on himself. The game ends when all the guests are dressed up and at the end it is possible to dance an incendiary dance in a new image.

Game Guess Me

The names of animals, professions and more are written on the leaves, they are folded into a hat or box. Each participant in turn takes out a piece of paper and, without showing it to the audience, tries to explain with gestures and facial expressions who he is at the moment.

In another interpretation of the game, words are written on stickers, stuck on each other's foreheads, and the person tries to guess who he is with the help of leading questions.

Funny, moving, funny and funny New Year's contests for children will make the holiday unforgettable. They give a good mood, a lot of positive emotions, bring together those who happened to be in the same circle that night. They reveal a variety of children's talents: someone sings great, someone draws masterfully, and someone eventually turns out to be faster and smarter than everyone else.

It is always interesting for a child to compare himself with others and learn to lose deservedly. This educational moment also applies to New Year's games, which can be arranged with both kids and teenagers. They are useful for school Christmas tree, activities in kindergarten and family holiday.

To come up with New Year's competitions for children on their own, so that they start any age category, is the skill of aerobatics. Firstly, today's children are not surprising, their requests for entertainment are quite high, and they can react to many competitions and games with a sour expression on their faces and refusal to participate in them. Secondly, the New Year theme involves the use of appropriate paraphernalia and heroes, which must be taken into account when selecting certain contests. Our helpful tips will help you choose the best and most fun options from the variety offered on the network.

1. Age

Decide on the age category of children who will take part in the New Year's competitions. If outdoor games are important for kids, then intellectual battles can be arranged for schoolchildren, and elements of jokes and jokes can be included for teenagers.

1. Place

The location of the competition for the New Year will also matter. For example, in kindergarten, children can line up in a round dance and arrange fun outdoor games around the Christmas tree. But at school, more serious joke games with jokes and intellectual tasks will be needed. And it is much easier to arrange such events at home, in the family circle, when no one will be embarrassed by anyone.

1. Plot

Carefully read the texts for children's competitions for the New Year, offered on various sites. Make sure that there was not a hint of adult vulgarity in them, which is so much on the Internet today. Imagine the whole game from beginning to end: isn't it too difficult for children?
