Christmas tree games
Game: I'll sing now!
The traditional round dance at the Christmas tree can be diversified with this game. The guests sing loudly, beloved by everyone, “A Christmas tree was born in the forest ...” At the clap of the leader, everyone falls silent and sings a song to themselves, and at the next clap, everyone sings out loud again. Surely someone will enter at random, so he is out of the game. (Of course, you can sing any songs).
Game: Congratulate your friends alphabetically!
The host offers to congratulate each other on the New Year. He calls the player the first letter of the alphabet A, and he comes up with and voices a wish for this letter on the holiday, for example: “Appetizing dishes to you in the New Year!” or the next player with the letter B: “Be healthy, live richly” and so on until the end of the alphabet, just distribute the letters to the guests randomly so that they cannot prepare in advance. The funniest thing will be when you get to the letters Y, b, Y, b.
Game: Decorate the Christmas tree
To play, take a few balls of ribbons, tinsel, garlands, depending on the number of players. Women act as Christmas trees, men dress them up without the help of hands, taking tinsel or a garland with their lips. The winner is the couple whose Christmas tree is decorated faster than the others.
Game: Mittens and Buttons
Couples play - a man and a woman. Players - men are given thick winter gloves. The partner is put on a shirt or robe over the outfit, and the rest is clear to everyone - fasten as many buttons on the partner as possible. Fun guaranteed!
Game: Mystery Chest
Two players are given chests or suitcases containing a variety of and unexpected items of clothing, the more the better. The players are blindfolded, and they begin to dress up as the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus at the command of the host. The next couple are then called and dress up in whatever is left in the suitcases. At the end, a competition is held for the most beautiful Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
Game: Who is faster?
This game, like the next, is best played outdoors. Participants become in a circle. The driver runs behind the backs of the players and, slapping one of the standing ones on the shoulder, runs further. The chosen one rushes to run around the players in the opposite direction. The task of those running towards each other is to take the vacant place. The procrastinating player becomes the driver - all over again.
Game: Magic word
The participants of the game become in a semicircle. The facilitator gives out commands very quickly, which are executed only when the word "please" is added to them. Without it, the command does not work, you do not need to execute it. The one who makes a mistake must stand up, or better, step forward at every mistake, without losing the right to participate in the game. The winner is the one who stays in place, making fewer mistakes.
Game: Who is faster?
To play, you need two reels or thick sticks and a rope several meters long with a knot or ribbon in the middle. Two players disperse in different directions with coils and ends of the rope in their hands. On command, they begin to quickly rotate the coil and wind the rope around it, moving towards the middle. The one who gets to the mark the fastest wins.
Game: Push and Pull
Two players from the same team sit on the sled. Just back to back. The task is to get to the finish line as quickly as possible, but they should only push off the ground with their feet, and one of them is sitting with his back ...
Game: Sculptors
Hold this contest if there is sticky snow outside. Any letter of the alphabet is called the leader, and the participants in the game sculpt a thing that is called on this letter. Whoever blinds faster and more reliably wins (at the end of the game, you can also arrange recognition of the sticky one).
Game: Whose ball is bigger, faster and higher?
This game is played by couples. Better child and adult. A time is set, for example, five minutes, during which these two must roll a snowball. The players with the biggest ball win. You can continue the competition. On a signal, the couples roll their coma to the finish line. Win, of course, those who quickly and safely get to the finish line. And then - favorite snowmen from such large lumps. Who has it higher than others?

Winter games for kids
The sun is getting lower, there are fewer leaves on the trees, and every morning it gets colder - here they are, the first signs of winter. Soon the first snow will fall and we will all go together to the yards with our little ones to make snowmen. But to make the winter festivities more diverse, I want to offer you several joint games with the youngest children.
Game number 1 "Santa Claus - red nose." A leader is chosen, preferably an adult, the rest of the children become in a circle. Then the host closes his eyes and spins around himself with the words “I’ll freeze, freeze!!!”, then stops and starts to catch the kids. Whoever he catches, he froze, this person becomes the leader.
Game #2 known to all of us since childhood is "Loaf". The kids in the yard gather and begin to dance to the well-known poem. Of course, this is a game for the smallest, older children, it is not interesting, however, if you diversify the rhymes in the game or add a "prize fund", older children will also agree to play this game.
Game number 3. Game "The Wolf and the Seven Kids" can also be a good way to pass the time. The wolf is allocated a small area on the site - its kennel, and the piglets - houses, for example, under a hill, in a sandbox or under a tree, where the wolf cannot get them. After that, the terrible beast goes to his home and falls asleep with wild snoring. When he wakes up, he goes hunting with goats, and those, running away from him, can hide in the house. When the wolf catches the prey, he circles it around him, then releases it and the game continues.
Game #4 called "The Snow Queen and Santa Claus". This is a game for the little ones, as there are no particularly strict rules and plot in it. Children arm themselves with shovels, buckets and begin to sprinkle bushes, twigs and trees with snow so that they do not freeze, and winter comes around faster.
Game #5. The game is also suitable for little ones. "Angel": children lie down on the snow with their backs and move their hands up and down, drawing wings in the snow.
Game No. 6 "Enemy Banner". The next game on our list is for more adults. The children in the yard are divided into teams and build themselves a barricade of snow, a flag is placed on top of each of them. The task of each team is to get the opponent's banner by defending their citadel with snowballs.
There are a great many other winter games for the youngest children. The main thing is not to walk outside if the temperature is below -15 C, and make sure that all the kids are on the move.
Games with Santa Claus and Snow Maiden
All the way around
Santa Claus stands in front of the children and throws a ball to each in turn. At the same time, he says a word, for example, “big”, and the child answers: “Small!” and throws the ball back. Then Santa Claus throws the ball to the next kid, saying the word "bright". He replies: "Dark!", And the ball flies back. You can pick up as many words as you like: white - black, hot - cold, summer - winter, etc.
Who is what?
Santa Claus conceives some kind of animal and names several definitions characterizing it. And the kids must determine who he thought of.
First, Santa Claus gives general descriptions. If the baby does not guess, he gradually specifies the signs:
Grey, angry, toothy, hungry... (Wolf)
Small, grey, cowardly,
long-eared ... (Hare)
small, short,
hardworking, prickly ... (Hedgehog)
Fluffy, red, agile,
sly Fox)
Big, clumsy, brown,
clubfoot ... (Bear)
As soon as one of the kids names the correct word, Santa Claus praises him and gives him a gift.
Repeat!
Santa Claus stands in front of the kids, he warns that now they will have to be very careful. Santa Claus names some part of the body and touches it. And the kids should do the same at the same time. He says: "Ear!" and touches him. The kids immediately repeat his actions. And after some time, Santa Claus tries to confuse the kids. He says: "Nose!", And touches his ear.
For the first time, the children are likely to go astray. But then they will be very careful.
Third wheel
Children stand in a circle in twos so that the first looks at the center of the circle, and the second at the back of his head. The driver runs after the participant, who did not find a pair, in the outer circle, without crossing it. In order not to get caught by him, the player at some point may stand in front of one of the pairs, and then the one who turns out to be the last in this trio and stands with his back to the border of the outer circle will have to run away.
The one who is caught becomes the driver.
Crocodile
Children are divided into two teams. One team thinks of a word and tries to portray it using pantomime. The second tries to guess it. If she succeeds, they switch roles.
Attention: Santa Claus!
Santa Claus walks around the room with his eyes closed, and the kids take turns running up and touching him. The one whom he manages to grab by the hand also closes his eyes and, together with Santa Claus, catches the children. Whoever can't be caught wins. The winner receives the main prize, and the rest get consolation prizes.
Pass the hat
Children sit in a circle. Santa Claus gives them a hat and then turns on the music. Children begin to pass each other a hat. As soon as Santa Claus stops the music, the one of the children who at that moment had a hat puts it on himself and goes around in a circle. He must portray someone, and the kids must guess who it is. For older children, you can complicate the game by passing several hats in a circle. When the music stops, all the children who have hats show their performance.
funny questions
Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden ask children questions in which they describe an object without naming it, but using comparisons and synonyms.
For example:
“What are the legs of a car?” (Wheels)
"What is the light bulb in the sky?" (The sun)
"What is a winged buzzer?" (Fly)
"A tweeter with wings?" (Bird)
"A long asphalt rug?" (The road you're driving on)
"Singing box?" (Radio)
"A hat by the house?" (Roof)
"Gloves for legs?" (socks)
Whoever guesses first gets a prize.
Find a candy
This game will delight little sweet tooth. Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden lay out leaflets all over the room, on the back of which sweets or sad faces are drawn. The task of the kids is to collect as many leaves with a painted candy as possible. They can be exchanged with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden for a real candy.
Nose for a clown
Santa Claus attaches a poster to the wall, on which a clown's head is drawn, but without a nose. He blindfolds the kids, and they take turns pinning a “nose” (a ball of foam rubber or plasticine) to the poster. You can also draw a nose with a felt-tip pen. Whoever does it best wins a prize.
Potato in a spoon
Santa Claus puts two chairs at one end of the room and places a cup of potatoes on each of them. At the other end of the room, he places two chairs with empty cups. Two people compete. It is necessary with the help of a spoon in which one potato is placed, transfer all the potatoes from one cup to another. Who quickly? If there are a lot of children, you can divide them into two teams and arrange a relay race.
We draw crosses
Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden hand out checkered papers and pens to the kids. Whoever draws more crosses in a minute will receive a gift.
magic pouch
Santa Claus puts 8-10 objects familiar to children in a bag: a comb, a whistle, a lace, etc. Blindfold their eyes in turn or ask them to close them. Let the children take turns pulling an object out of the bag and trying to recognize it by touch.

(5 votes : 4.2 out of 5 )It is quite difficult to spend a good holiday among school children. They already know everything and can do a lot, therefore, in order to attract their attention, intrigue, you have to try. The contests below will help make the New Year's scenario more meaningful.
I am that actor
Each participant in turn receives a card with a certain phrase, which will need to be depicted so that the rest can guess what exactly the participant showed.

- a double at the board;
- a crying child who wants to eat;
- angry dog;
- Santa Claus brought gifts;

And New Year's is not New Year's
Children sit or stand in a circle. Santa Claus or the presenter announces that now is the time to remember all the necessary things and objects that are elements of the holiday. In a circle, each of the participants in turn names one subject. For example, a clock, a TV, a Christmas tree, a garland, Santa Claus, snow, a gift, and so on. The participant who cannot name the item is out. The one who has the last word wins.
Cap
Children stand in a circle, and to the music they begin to pass the New Year's hat around in a circle. When the music stops, the participant who has the cap left in his hands puts it on his head and performs the task of Santa Claus. Usually, children prepare poems or songs for Grandfather in advance, so overlays are excluded here.
Happy New Year
The guys are divided into teams of 11 people, each participant is given a felt-tip pen or marker. For each team, easels with drawing paper are located at the same distance. Each participant must jump in the bag like a wolf in the cartoon "Just you wait!" to the easel and write by letter so that the phrase “Happy New Year” is obtained at the end. So, on the “start” command, the first participants jump in the bag to the easel and write on the letter “C”, then jump back and pass the baton to the second participants, the second write the letter “H”, the third - “O” and so on. The team that finishes the relay faster and writes "Happy New Year" will win.

More fives and sweets for you. And, if you behave well and also study, I will fulfill your cherished desires. You need to hide the letter in one of the classrooms or in the gym and make a small quest, for example, you will find the answer where the current and voltage are, and the team runs to the physics room, and there is again a hint on the desk: find something that can attract iron, and the guys are looking for a magnet, there is a note on the magnet again: follow the person who is responsible for cleanliness here, and the team runs to the technicians, they get another hint: look for where they will not let you die of hunger, it is clear that this is a canteen and so on. To search for guys, you can divide into several teams and whose team can do it faster and find the letter from Santa Claus, that team will win.
Save Christmas balls
Participants are divided into 2 teams of the same number of people. For each team, a basket with the same number of balloons is prepared, which is about to be stolen by an evil wizard, and they need to be rescued. All participants stand in a row: two teams - two rows. A basket with balls stands next to the first participant, and near the last there is an empty basket in which the team will put the rescued balls. According to the word “start”, the first participants take one ball each and pass it to the second participants, the second - to the third, the third - to the fourth, and so on until the last one. When the last participant puts the ball into the basket, he shouts: “Yes”, and then the first participant takes the second ball and passes it. The team that saves all the balls the fastest wins.
New Year's run
The guys are divided into 2 teams with an even number of participants. Then each team is divided into their pairs. Each pair is tied to one leg of the participants, that is, the left of one and the right of the second. At the festive tree are gifts (snowflakes, sweets). And on the “start” command, the guys begin their New Year's race. The couple runs to the Christmas tree, picks up the gift and returns to their team, passes the baton to the next couple and stands at the end. The game continues until all the gifts from the Christmas tree have been collected. And the team that was faster and collected more gifts will win.
New Year's song (for kids)
They form a circle from the chairs, with the seats outward, there should be 1 less of them than the participants. Children stand in a circle and go around in a circle to the New Year's songs. When the music stops, the children should sit on the chairs. A chair is not enough for one hero, the Snow Maiden takes him as her assistant. One chair is removed, the competition continues.
Neighbor is better!
The already traditional New Year's competition, however, is loved by the children, because here you can fool around. So, everyone stands around the Christmas tree. The host asks: "Do you have ears?". Children answer in chorus: “Yes!” Again the question: "Are your ears good?" Children: "Good!" presenter: “And the neighbor?” And the enthusiastic children yell: "Better!" And grabs a neighbor on the right and left by the ears. And then the round dance begins. It is so fashionable to sort out all parts of the body, and the children will rejoice.
New Year's bowling
You will need skittles or plastic bottles, as well as rubber balls. You can divide everyone into teams, you can hold an "individual offset". The task of everyone is to shoot down as many "icicles" as possible, which have grown from underground, with one blow of the "snow" ball from a certain distance. For older children, heavier basketballs can be used, and for preschoolers, regular rubber ones are better.
Deputy Santa Claus
Each of the guys in turn calls what he asked Santa Claus, and the rest of the children should give it to their friend, that is, depict this object with the power of arms, legs and possible objects nearby. It will be interesting how a group of guys will turn a car out of themselves, for example, or one of the guys will become a telephone, or a dog, or something and someone else. There will be a place for children's imagination to roam.
Guess the hero
Children are seated in a circle. The host invites everyone in turn to continue the name of the fairy-tale hero, for example, Red ..., Baba ... Snowy ... The one who cannot find the answer is out of the game. The rest continue to complete the task in a circle. Most often, the host in this competition simply runs out of questions, be prepared.
Choosing a Christmas tree
Santa Claus invites the children to stand in a circle and asks what kind of Christmas trees are. If they are tall, then all the children raise their hands up, if they are low, they squat and lower their hands down, if they are wide, the circle is made as large as possible, and narrow for a narrow Christmas tree. Now Santa Claus walks and "chooses" a Christmas tree. "Oh, how tall!" or “No, this one is narrow!” And the children, having heard the parameters, depict “the Christmas tree seen by Grandfather. At the same time, Frost himself is trying to confuse the children by making wrong movements.
Laugh Santa Claus
Here the guys will need to use all their imagination. The task is this: to make Santa Claus laugh by all available means, for example, with a joke, dance, funny song, funny parody, and so on. From whose "trick" Santa Claus will laugh louder, he will receive a prize.
Collecting snowballs
You need to create several commands. Cook sooo many white balls - it will be snowballs. Take the largest garbage bags, cut off the bottom corners of them, so that the legs crawl through. Now one team member climbs into this huge bag, and the rest, at the command of the leader, collect "snowballs" and put them in the bag. The team with the most snowballs wins.
Christmas movies are my thing
New Year is the time to watch family fun winter comedies and magical stories. Therefore, it's time for the children to remember the names of good movies and share with the rest. For excitement, you can divide the children into two teams. As a result, each of the participants in turn names their favorite New Year's movie. First, a member of the first team, then the second, again the first - the second, etc. The participant who does not give an answer is out of the game. The team with the most members left is the winner. If children know very little about films, you can give hints to them. After all, there are a lot of such films: “Poor Sasha”, “Irony of Fate”, “Home Alone” all parts, “Curly Sue” and others. In extreme cases, you can use the names of cartoons.
make a wish
This is a romantic entertainment that will require as many balloons as there are guests at the ball. They say that on New Year's Eve all dreams come true. Each invitee is invited to write his most cherished desire on a piece of paper, then these leaves are attached to the thread with which the ball is tied. And now all the guests of the ball go out into the street or onto the balcony and, at the command of the host, after his fabulous spells, release their balls and innermost dreams into the sky. The spectacle is amazing.
new year castle
Several applicants are invited to participate in the competition. They are invited to carefully study the drawing of the New Year's castle. Then each is given a set of plastic cups, and blindfolded. Further, the "builders" of the castle set to work. Whoever reproduces the drawing faster and more accurately wins the competition.
My number
Gifts for children should be wrapped in the same paper and numbered. Indoors, in prominent places, attach Christmas tree tokens, on the back of which the number is written. Children are invited to find a Christmas tree for themselves. And when Santa Claus comes with a bag, he will give the children numbered gifts.
Protection of carnival costumes
As a rule, children of younger, and even middle school age, are happy to put on New Year's costumes. The task of the organizer of the holiday is to warn everyone in advance that the best costume will be chosen. But in order for your outfit to be among the winners, you need to “protect” it, in other words, show your artistic inclinations and enter the role of your hero by performing his song, reading his monologue, etc.
Guess who it is?
For this competition, you need to prepare various pictures (3 pieces for each of the items). And these items must be guessed by the children. For example, the presenter shows 3 pictures: a web, slippers, a skyscraper. If you think carefully, the child will guess that this is Spider-Man, or, for example, pictures of a beard, sleigh and gifts, it is clear that this is Santa Claus. Whoever guesses first raises their hand and answers. For the correct answer, the participant receives a point, and whoever has more points wins.
Comic tasks, coupled with bright images and a festive mood will create a positive background for the holiday. Even a simple collective game will be exciting if you play with a friendly company. Children will especially enjoy the competition, the victory in which will bring New Year's gifts.

Participants line up and take the person in front by the shoulders. The participant standing first in the line is the head of the tiger. Closing the column is the tail. After the signal, the “tail” tends to catch up with the “head”, which is trying to escape. The “torso” must remain in the hitch. After a while, the children change places.
Merry round dance
The usual round dance can be significantly complicated. The leader sets the tone by constantly changing direction and speed. After several circles, lead a round dance with a snake, moving between pieces of furniture and guests.
Travel
Team play involves the use of blindfolds and skittles. Arrange the skittles with a "snake" in front of the participants of the two teams. Team members join hands and cover the distance blindfolded. All pins must remain upright. The team whose members knock down fewer pins wins the game.
magic words
Divide the participants into teams and hand over a set of letters that make up a certain word. Each team member gets only one letter. In the story that the presenter reads, there are words from these letters. When such a word is spoken, the players with the corresponding letters come forward and rebuild in the correct order. The team that is ahead of the opponents earns a point.
What changed
Visual memory will help you win the game. Each participant carefully examines the toys hanging on the branches of the Christmas tree for a certain time. After the children leave the room. A few toys are outweighed or new ones are added. When the children return, they need to voice what has changed.
Gift in a circle
Participants stand in a circle face to face. The host gives one of the players a gift and turns on the music. After the gift moves in a circle. After the music stops, the gift transfer stops. The player with the gift left is out. At the end of the game, there will be one player left who will get this memento.
15Happy child 27.11.2016
Dear readers, very soon the New Year and happy holidays. I encourage you to prepare ahead of time! Today on the blog we have made for you a selection of New Year's games for children. What to play with the whole family? What to do with kids of all ages? How to properly organize the play space? What are the secrets in this matter? We will try to find answers to these and other questions in the article.
Heading Anna Kutyavina will share her thoughts and ideas of games for the new year for children. I give her the floor.
Hello dear readers of Irina's blog! Can you smell the frosty air outside the window? Snow, a Christmas tree, tangerines… Although according to the calendar there is still a whole month before the most anticipated holiday of the year, many of us already have an expectation of a miracle in our hearts. Indeed, on New Year's Eve, not only our children, but we ourselves often make the most cherished wishes, sincerely believing that they will certainly come true! And from January 1, like in a fairy tale, a new life will begin ...
So, let's start and we are preparing for the festive fun? In order not to sit out the last hours of December on the Internet, in a frantic search for new ideas for games, let's take important steps towards a joyful New Year right now. As long as there is time, strength, energy and desire. And also - there are a lot of delicious and non-standard ideas for fun! Go?
For your convenience, we have divided all games into age categories. So it will be easier for you to navigate and choose what is best for the child. There are games near the Christmas tree, games with rhymes, New Year's musical games. Games for the whole family are a separate category - a creative space in which there is a place for everyone: moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles and kids!
New Year's games for children under 2 years old
Let's start the consideration of fun with the smallest heroes of the holiday. Usually, children begin to actively engage in simple games from 1.5-2 years old. For even younger toddlers, we offer only the simplest: round dances around the Christmas tree in the arms of mom; funny rhymes and songs with parents. Remember that babies should never be overloaded with emotions, including positive ones! "Herringbone" for such children lasts no more than half an hour, and we certainly look at the condition of the child. If he is tired, give him time to rest.
It's great if moms love to sing, compose poems and fairy tales. It's time to fantasize and gradually include the crumbs in the creative process. The main thing is the emotional involvement of parents, the desire to play and create. Even with yearlings, you can do small crafts together, glue a New Year's toy - boots from two cardboard parts, and then paint with colored sparkles. The baby just sits in the arms of the mother, and the mother does everything herself using the “hand in hand” method. Then the toy is solemnly hung on the Christmas tree, and each guest is told who made such beauty. And everyone is happy and satisfied.
It is good for kids to include short New Year's songs, under which you can clap your hands, stomp your feet, twist your booty. First of all, remember safety precautions: if there is a toddler in the house, the Christmas tree should not stand on the floor, especially hung with glass toys and garlands with lights.
New Year's games and competitions for children from 2 to 6 years old
Now let's move on to the most "grateful" age. Preschoolers are very fond of games and fun, they are active and sociable. We present to your attention a selection of games for preschoolers:
Game "Guess the gift"
Put a lot of different items and toys in a large bag. Invite the child to feel to determine what came into his hand. If the child guesses the name of the object, he receives a gift.
Game "Owl and animals"
One driver is chosen - "owl". The rest of the children show various animals: birds, mice, butterflies, frogs, bunnies, etc.
The driver gives the command: "Day!" - and all the "animals" run and jump merrily. On the second command: "Night!" Everyone freezes and doesn't move. The owl flies to "hunt". Anyone who laughs, moves, changes position, becomes the prey of an owl.
The game "It's boring to sit like this ..."
We seat the kids on chairs near one wall. The facilitator reads the verse:
It's boring, it's boring to sit like this,
Look at each other.
Isn't it time to run
And change places?
On these words, the children quickly run to the opposite wall, trying to take the empty chairs. There are one fewer chairs than players. The one left without a chair is out of the game. The chairs are also removed one by one. The game is repeated until the winner takes the last chair.
Game "Fox and Hares"
Children move according to the instructions in the text:
On the forest lawn
Bunnies ran away.
Here are some bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
(Baby bunnies run around the hall)
The bunnies sat in a circle
They dig a spine with a paw.
Here are some bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
("Bunnies" sit down, "dig" roots)
Here is a fox running
Red sister.
Looking for where the bunnies are
Runaway bunnies.
(The fox runs between the kids. When the song ends, he catches up with the kids).
Game "Winter mood"
The host reads the poems, and the children answer: “true”, “false”.
1. Bloomed in the cold
There are big roses on the pine tree.
They are collected in bouquets
And the Snow Maiden is handed over. (Wrong)
2. With the Snow Maiden Snowman
Get used to the kids.
He loves to listen to poetry
And then eat candy. (Right)
3. Santa Claus melts in winter
And under the Christmas tree is bored -
A puddle was left of him;
On a holiday, it is not needed at all. (Wrong)

Christmas trees are much cooler. (Wrong)
8. In January, blizzards sweep,
Spruce dressed with snow.
Bunny in his white fur coat
Boldly galloping through the woods. (Right)
Relay game "Fish"
The leader divides the children into 2 teams. Each team receives a small fishing rod with a hook.
Near each team lies a large blue hoop - a "pond". In the pond, toy fish with eyelets at the mouth, according to the number of participants. To rhythmic music, the captains go to the pond, hook the fish with a fishing rod, put it in the buckets of their teams. Then the rod is passed to the next participant. The winner is the team that finished fishing first.
And what is a holiday without music. Pick it up in advance, music always creates a festive atmosphere. And children always like such musical games.
The game "Round dance around the Christmas tree"
The easiest and favorite fun for kids! Turn on a fun song: "It's cold for a little Christmas tree in winter" or "A Christmas tree was born in the forest," and go!
The game "Snowball in a spoon"
2 players participate at the same time. They are given a spoon in their mouth, in a spoon - a cotton snowball. On a signal, the children run in different directions in the direction around the Christmas tree. The winner is the one who runs first, and whose snowball remains in the spoon.
The game "Around the Christmas tree in bags"
2 kids play at the same time. They stand with their feet in the bags, supporting the top of the bags with their hands. On a signal, the players scatter in different directions around the Christmas tree. The fastest one wins. Then the next pair plays.
The game "We are funny kittens"
The leader puts on cheerful music. Children break into pairs and dance.
The host says: “We are funny kittens,” and the couples are separated. Each shows a dancing kitten.
It is also very good to offer children various winter puzzles. Children are happy to tell poems and sing songs to Grandfather Frost. And they love to receive gifts.
Let's watch a video of how Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden play various interesting games with children! There are a lot of ideas here.
Games for children 6-10 years old
Children of this age can be offered a wide variety of New Year's games, including musical games, dances, relay races, riddles. Great "goes" and various production of crafts, Christmas decorations. Fantasize and get involved!
Game "Christmas Castle"
Several people are playing. First, they are invited to carefully study the drawn drawing of the New Year's castle. Then everyone gets a set of plastic cups. The players are blindfolded. They get to work.
The participant who most accurately and quickly reproduced the drawing wins the competition.
Game "Tangerine Football"
Children are divided into 2 teams. Tangerines are laid out on the table. Players using two fingers try to score a goal for the opposing team.
The game "The most accurate snow shooter"
Participants try to hit the target with snowballs - a target, or a bucket, a basket, a large box. The most accurate shooter wins the competition.
Game "Winter Wind"
Players sit down at the table and try to blow a paper ball, cotton ball or paper snowflake onto the floor.
Games near the Christmas tree and musical games
Game "Decorate the Christmas Tree"
Children are divided into 2 teams. Near each of them, the presenter puts a box with unbreakable Christmas toys.
Not far from the teams there are two decorated artificial Christmas trees. Children take turns taking one toy from the box, run to the Christmas tree of their team, hang a toy on it and run back. The game continues until the last player. The team that decorates the Christmas tree first wins.
Game "Cap"
Children become in a circle. Cheerful music is on. Players begin to pass the New Year's hat in a circle. When the music stops, the one with the cap left in his hands puts it on his head and completes the task of Santa Claus.
family games
When a large family gathers at the festive table, it's time to play fun family New Year's games. They perfectly unite representatives of different generations, and the connection between close people becomes even closer and deeper. Also, such games can be offered to companies of teenagers and adults.
The game "Make a snowman"
For the game you need softened plasticine. Two players sit side by side at a table. The left hand of one participant and the right hand of the other work like the hands of one person, making a snowman. It is not simple! But very unifying! It's great if there are children and adults in each pair.
The game "Shoe for Cinderella"
All participants in the game put their shoes in a pile. The players are blindfolded. The host shuffles the shoes into a pile and commands: “Come on, find your shoe!”. Each participant, blindfolded, looks for his pair of shoes and puts on shoes. Whoever completes the task first is the winner.
Game "Cinderella"
Two participants are required. Everyone is blindfolded and told to take apart their slide. Peas, beans, nuts, dried mountain ash, and other ingredients are mixed in the slides. Blindfolded participants sort fruits into groups.
Game "Snow Challenge"
You need to take a small ball, or make a "snow" ball of cotton. The participants of the game become in a circle. "Snowball" is passed in a circle.
The leader says:
Snowball we all roll,
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -
You sing a song!
Whoever has a “snowball” in his hands on the last phrase, he fulfills this wish. The last phrase changes: “You dance to dance!”, “And you read poetry!”, “Tell you a fairy tale!” etc.
And here is another very interesting game for the whole family for the New Year. I suggest watching the video.
New Year's karaoke
How is the new year without songs? Pick up a list of “cons” in advance, such as:
- "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree",
- "Three white horses"
- "The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky",
- "The little Christmas tree is cold in winter,"
- "Five minutes",
- "Blue frost",
- "Song about bears", etc.
Turn on and have fun singing with the whole family!
Game-dance "Engine"
Adults and children stand in a column, put their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. And the locomotive is moving!
Our games are suitable for organizing a fun space at home, as well as in the conditions of matinees and corporate parties. Some of them can even be played outside.
Friends, I sincerely hope that you enjoy our New Year's games and competitions for kids, and you will certainly find something for yourself! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

New Year games
“Favorite holiday gives
magic, love and
brimming with 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 all over the world. Most people are busy preparing for the holiday and decide where, how and with whom to celebrate. New Year's games with Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden is one of the most long-awaited and fun events for everyone, and especially for children. In a series of intellectual games, New Year's games occupy one of the important places.
The use of ICT at this event makes it bright and meaningful. There is an impact on the two most important organs (hearing and vision), which facilitates the process of perception. New Year's games contribute to the development of attention, memory, concentration, observation, thinking. The use of musical accompaniment during the games provides dynamism.
Goals New Year games:
1. education of creative abilities, skills and abilities of collective creative activity.
2. creating a festive mood in children, through active participation in the competitive game program.
Tasks:
Cohesion of the children's team;
Formation of the ability to visually control the correctness and accuracy of their movements;
To form the ability to quickly and accurately respond to a new unpredictable production situation and find unexpected and non-standard solutions;

2. "New Year's round dance"
In this New Year's game, the host gathers the children in a circle and says: “Christmas trees are different: wide, and low, and high, 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 is another fun game. It is called "Smeshinka". Each child receives some kind of New Year's name. For example: an icicle, a Christmas tree, a Snow Maiden, a snowdrift, a flashlight, a cracker. today is a holiday? Who will come to visit us? What did you eat for breakfast?". Children answer questions with their own “names”. The main condition is that you can’t laugh. Whoever laughs leaves the circle. The most serious one will certainly receive 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 just to stand under the Christmas tree and tell the rhyme on duty, but first to play the game "Snowball". Everyone passes around a "snowball" made of cotton wool. Santa Claus says:
Snowball we all roll,
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -

The dwarf swayed in the cobweb (tilts to the side)
Morning will come, the gnome will go on a campaign again (walk)
10. "Naughty"
All children sit around the room in a circle. Cheerful music sounds, players dance. As soon as the music subsides, the host announces: "Puffers!"

(children squeak) Thus, the game continues on with various pranks: "Chants!" (children scream); "Squealers!" (children squeal); "Snickers!" (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 mortar, 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 a bucket by the handle, and in the other hand he holds a mop. In this position, it is necessary to go the whole distance and pass the mortar and broom to the next one.
2. "Cycling on the Baba Yaga's broomstick"
The bicycle in this relay race will be replaced by a gymnastic stick. The stick must be saddled by two participants at once. They are cyclists. Each bike duet, holding a stick between their legs, will have to get to the turning point and back. The fastest win.

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 variant- 2 bowls with snowballs are placed on one chair near the Christmas tree, empty bowls are placed on another chair in the room. Children have to carry snowballs.
2. « The most dexterous "
Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden (or other characters according to the script) hold in their hands a hoop entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. Cotton balls (“snowballs”) are poured onto the floor. On the command of the heroes, children throw lumps into the hoops, then the number of hits in the Santa Claus hoop and in the Snow Maiden hoop is counted.
3. "Hit the target."
(Snowballs are rolled out of paper first. Children are divided into two groups. Each has a snowball in their hands. Everyone needs to get into their box. The team that collects the most snowballs wins).
4. "Catch a snowball!"
Several couples are involved. 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 amount of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). On a signal, the child throws snowballs, and the partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The pair that finishes the game first and collects the most snowballs wins.
5. "Collect snowballs"
A lot of "snowballs" (crumpled white paper or balls sewn from white cloth and cotton wool) are scattered on the floor. Children are given baskets or beautifully decorated boxes. It is necessary as quickly as possible (preferably to the music) to collect all the "snowballs" in your baskets (you can also collect "snowballs" blindfolded).
Like a sequel of this game can offer "throwing" each other with snowballs.
6. "Snowballs fly to the target"
After the previous game, you can check the accuracy of the children: 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 players form a tight circle around him. Behind their backs they pass each other a "snowball" (made of cloth and cotton wool). The driver carefully watches the children playing. He must guess who has a snowball now and say: “Stop!”. If the driver guessed correctly, then the owner of the snowball takes his place.

Santa Claus: Here's the bag - it's smart! Let's have an auction! Who actively answers, That gift receives!
(In a satin bag there are 7 paper multi-colored bags having a shape. The bags are placed one inside the other from a large one - 80 cm high to a small one - 50 cm high (like a nesting doll), and tied with bright bows. On each bag, one letter is large, 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 - the gifts begin with the corresponding letters. At the beginning of the game, Santa Claus lowers the satin bag to the floor and in front of the children a paper bag with the letter “P” appears.)
