Fun around the Christmas tree, decorated with tinsel, garlands and toys - such a holiday, perhaps, will delight any child. Games and competitions will make the celebration even more interesting. Relax.by knows what competitions and fun to arrange for children to make the holiday unforgettable.

New Year's competitions for preschool children

Round dance around the Christmas tree
To interest the youngest players, you need to try: kids lose interest very quickly if the activity does not catch them. In such a situation, round dances around the Christmas tree will save. This is a win-win option that kids of all ages love. Usually round dances are led to the song "It's cold in the winter for a little Christmas tree" or "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."

The game "What are Christmas trees?"
The host (the Snow Maiden or Santa Claus can act in his role) says:
- Look how elegant our Christmas tree is: all in beautiful toys and garlands. Guys, do you know where Christmas trees grow? Of course, in the forest! Christmas trees are different: wide and thin, high and low.
Next, the facilitator should explain the rules of the game:
- Guys, stand in a circle and take each other's hands, and I will say what Christmas trees are like. If I say: "High", you should raise your hands up, and if you hear: "Low", you need to sit down and lower your hands. If I mention wide Christmas trees, you need to make the circle wider. And if I say: "Thin", you should make a circle already. Does everyone understand? One, two, three, start!

Music game
(to the motive of the song "Kind Beetle" from the fairy tale film "Cinderella")
1. Stand up, children, stand in a circle, stand in a circle, stand in a circle! Clap your hands, 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 fun and raise our hands up, jump above all! We put our hands down, stomp with our right foot, we stomp with our left foot and turn our heads!
The game is repeated 2 more times.

Game "Dress up the Christmas tree"
Children are divided into two teams. Each has a box with Christmas decorations (preferably unbreakable). The essence of the game is that players must dress up an artificial Christmas tree, which stands at a distance from the teams. The child must take the toy from the box, run to the Christmas tree, hang the toy on it and return to his team. And so on until the last player. The team whose tree is decorated first wins.

Game "Cat and Mouse"
Three players from the team are dressed up in costumes of cats and handed to them on a stick, to which a long rope is tied. A fake mouse is attached to the opposite end of the rope. The players, accompanied by cheerful music, wind the rope around the stick, and gradually the mouse approaches. The most agile cat wins, having managed to "catch" the mouse faster than the others.

Games for younger students aged 6–10

Game "Christmas chants"
The host says quatrains, and the children shout out the words of each final line in unison.

Pretty in her outfit
The kids are always happy
On the branches of her needles,
He calls everyone to a round dance ... (tree)

Eat on the Christmas tree
A funny clown in a cap
Silver horns
And with pictures... (checkboxes)

Beads, colored stars,
Miracle masks painted,
Squirrels, cockerels and pigs,

A monkey will wink from the tree,
The brown bear smiles

And he wants everyone to have fun.
For happy kids

Game "Who's next?"
Skill competition. Preliminarily hang a winter jacket with turned-out sleeves on the backs of two chairs, and put a fur hat, a scarf and a pair of mittens on the seats. During the competition, players must turn the sleeves of their jackets to cheerful music, then put them on and the rest of the winter equipment (hat, scarf and mittens). The prize will be awarded to the first person to take a seat in their chair and shout "Happy New Year!"

New Year's contest "Mask, I know you!"
From all the guys you need to choose only one player. The host puts on a mask for him. Moreover, the player should not see whose mask he is wearing. The rest see what kind of hero this is. The masked player must guess who is on the mask. He asks other children questions and gets hints from them. Questions can only be answered with “yes” or “no”. The winner is given a mask as a prize.

Competition "Tinsel"
Competition-competition for two teams. As a prop, the host gives each child a tinsel. New Year's song sounds, for example Jingle Bells. To the music in each team, the first participant ties his tinsel in a knot on the hand of the second participant, then the second - on the hand of the third, and so on. The last player runs to the first and ties a tinsel to him - it turns out a circle. The winner is the team whose members completed the task before the rivals and raised their hands with tied tinsel.

The game "Doctor Aibolit"
Another team game. This time the players line up. Dr. Aibolit wants to know: did anyone have a fever during the New Year holiday? The fairy-tale hero puts a large cardboard thermometer under the armpits of the first members of both teams. At this time, cheerful music sounds. The second players must take the thermometer and put it on themselves, then the third players take the thermometer from them and so on until the last child in the line. In the same way, the thermometer moves in reverse order: from the last players to the first. The team wins, the first player of which returns the thermometer to Dr. Aibolit faster.

Competition "Christmas tree toy"
In front of two players, the facilitator places a prize wrapped in bright wrapping paper on a chair and says the following text:
"In the New Year's hour, friends,
You can't ignore it!
Don't skip the number three
Take the prize, do not yawn!

The Christmas tree welcomed the guests.
Five children came first
In order not to be bored on a holiday,
Everyone began to count on it:
Two snowflakes, six crackers,
Eight gnomes and parsley,
Seven gilded nuts
Among twisted tinsel,
Ten cones counted
And then they got tired of counting.
Three girls came running ... "
If the players missed the prize, the presenter takes it and says: “Where were your ears?” In the event that one of the players turns out to be attentive, the host concludes: “Here are attentive ears!”

The game "Christmas shifters"
Santa Claus says phrases, and the children must answer “yes” or “no” in unison, regardless of the rhyme.

Did you guys come here to have fun?
Tell me a secret: were you waiting for Grandpa?
Frost, cold will be able to scare you?
Are you sometimes ready to dance by the Christmas tree?
A holiday is nonsense, will we get bored better?
Santa Claus brought sweets, will you eat them?
Are you always ready to play with the Snow Maiden?
Shall we push everyone around without difficulty?
Grandfather never melts. Do you believe in this?
Do you need to sing a couplet in a round dance near the Christmas tree?

Competition "Laugh Nesmeyanu"
For the competition, you must prepare the details in advance: funny masks, false noses, ears.
Princess Nesmeyana knows where the Snow Maiden is hidden, but she cannot reveal the secret to the children, as she constantly cries. The task of the contestants is to make her laugh with cheerful movements and dances. To complement the bright image, the guys can use funny props.

For children from 10 years old

Competition "New Year's costume"
For this competition you will need props: paper (large enough - at least A4), tape, pins, scissors and glue.
For a certain time (say, 10 minutes) you need to come up with and make a New Year's costume. The task is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to have time not only to make an outfit, but also to present it to the public, to tell what exactly it means and what it serves for (for example, this is an evening outfit or a fancy dress). The jury evaluates the result with applause. The team that earns the loudest and longest standing ovation wins.

Competition "Ball with a surprise"
On sheets of paper, you need to write comic New Year's tasks, place notes in balloons, and then inflate them. Each participant should be given a ball with a task. It must be burst without the help of hands. When the participant copes with this, he will need to complete the written task (for example, sing a song, dance the dance of the little swans, etc.). Whoever makes it the most funny wins.

Competition "New Year's chain"
For this competition, A4 sheets, glue stick and scissors should be prepared. Two teams must take part. For a certain time (5-7 minutes), participants must cut strips (3 cm wide and 12 cm long), and then connect them into a New Year's chain. The team that makes the longest chain wins.

01 Remember that children switch their attention very quickly. Therefore, contests should not be made too long.
02 Do not hold several contests at once. Dilute them with a dance program or concert numbers.
03 Be sure to reward and encourage the winners.

A family New Year's holiday involves a fun pastime for all family members, therefore, in this matter, it is worth paying attention to both adults and children. Mobile, funny, funny contests will make an unforgettable holiday for the younger family members and give them a lot of fun and, of course, a lot of sweet prizes.

Competitions for erudition, dexterity and a little frankness also do not hurt for older family members. We have selected the best competitions for the new year for children and adults, designed to be held at home in an ordinary apartment. We hope this article will be a useful guide to having a fun New Year's leisure.

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 guys.

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 host is talking about tall trees, squat when talking about low trees, make a wider circle when they hear about wide Christmas trees, and snuggle closer to each other when there are words about thin spruces.

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:

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!
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.

The best Santa Claus

To compete you will need:

gift bags;
boxes with unbreakable toys;
beards and hats of Santa Claus;
eye patches.

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 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;
prize box;
Christmas tree.

Children are invited to divide into two teams and stand at a certain distance from the Christmas tree. The meaning of the competition is to take the prize, which in a single copy is under the Christmas tree.

The task of the participants is to take turns jumping in bags around the spruce and passing the baton to the next team member. The last participant must take the prize with them and return to the team. The one who got there faster won.

Game Congratulation from the Snow Maiden

Children's competitions for the New Year should be mobile, the only way to cheer up children. The game will require the following items:

chairs;
garments of the Snow Maiden costume.

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

New Year's games for children should not be the highlight of the holiday program at all. 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 list of words may be as follows:

crackers, laughter;
guns, beaters;
laughter and mood;
joy and fun;
songs, poems;
dances, round dances;
despondency and adversity;
toys, tinsel;
tears and blues;
children and gifts;
stars, lights;
boredom and idleness;
quarrels, squabbles;
kindness and generosity;
jokes, jokes;
children's round dance and merry New Year.

There are no winners or losers in the game and this will be a great start to the evening.

Competition I'm faster

Before starting, prepare:

two chairs;
ropes, tie hands;
two rather big containers with corn sticks.

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.

Funny Bunnies game

You will need:

headbands with bunny ears;
a ball symbolizing a snowball.

As a snowball, it is possible to use a ball pasted over with white paper. Participants are divided into two teams, put on headbands, turning into a bunny. The task of everyone is to take a snowball, jump with it to a certain place and back, passing the baton to the next contestant. Whose team coped faster, she 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.

New Year's mafia

Many people know the course of the game, and although this is not a very New Year's game, it is possible to remake it in a new way.

Have you played at least once in the New Year's mafia?

YesNot

For example, replace the main characters:

civilians - bunnies;
commissioner - Santa Claus;
mafia - witch;
doctor - Snegurochka.

And win, as in the classic version, bunnies or a witch.

Games and contests for a corporate party with jokes

At a corporate party, you should start with games where guests can sit and not get up. As the degree rises, it is possible to move on to more mobile and bold entertainment.

Game And in my pants

The facilitator prepares the phrases written on the sheets in advance and puts them in a special box. Then he comes up to the guests with a microphone, offers to say the phrase: but in my pants ... Then the participant takes out any fant and continues the said sentence.

And the endings are:

dry and comfortable;
there are still balls in trousers;
joy swells;
general cleaning is required;
the quieter you go, the further you'll get;
it's a pleasure to look at;
good mood;
you can look, do not touch.

Game wand lifesaver

A team of 6-10 people is recruited. Participants stand in a circle, they are given a stick. To the music, the stick is passed in a circle, and the one on whom the melody broke off must go into the circle and complete the task.

For example, dance with a stick like a pylon, fish, ride a horse, lift a barbell, or sing a song like a microphone.

fun my thoughts

Initially, you will need to prepare a hat with a brim or another interesting headdress as a prop. The hat is put on the guests in turn and at the same time an excerpt from a famous song is turned on, indicating what thoughts are now in this head.

Excerpts can be used from the following compositions:

I'll send it to - Lolita;
We are all bitch women - Irina Alegrova;
Well, girls, little by little - Elena Kukarskaya;
I'm so cool - Leningrad;
Let's drink for love - Igor Nikolaev.

In the process of holding adult contests, you should not be shy, but you should always remember who is at the table so as not to go too far with too bold contests.

Conclusion

Competitions and games during the New Year holiday are designed not only to amuse and entertain children, but also to instill in them the ability to communicate and work in a team. Games, competitions for the New Year with children will help to find a common language with them and liberate them. Try to ensure that not a single child stands aside, and everyone takes part in the New Year's fun together.

As prizes, it is possible to give felt-tip pens, Kinders, soap bubbles, coloring books and much more, in any case, you will like the prize, because it is honestly earned.

If the company has gathered a large one, you need to include other competitions and entertainment in the game program of the holiday. For example, such.

poetry competition

This is a competition for younger students. Prepare cards with rhymes and distribute to all guests at the beginning of the holiday. Come up with "New Year's" rhymes or use the following: years - grandfather, nose - frost, calendar - January, year - it's coming.

At the end of the holiday, before presenting gifts, everyone reads their poems and receives prizes for the best works.

Santa Claus is coming

First, invite all participants in the game to remember the text:

Santa Claus comes from the forest

He's coming to us for the holidays.

And we know that Santa Claus

Brings us gifts.

After the players repeat the text, offer the following conditions: you need to gradually replace the words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is "we". Instead, everyone points to himself. With each new performance, there are fewer words, and more gestures.

Here are some gestures.

"Santa Claus" - point to the door. "Holiday" - jump and clap your hands. "Goes" - to walk on the spot. “We know” - touch your forehead with your index finger. "Gifts" - gesture to depict a large bag. Etc. At the last performance, only prepositions and the verb “carries” will remain.

What is hung on the tree

The facilitator can come up with his own version:

- The guys and I will play an interesting game: what they hang on the Christmas tree, I will name the kids.

If I say everything correctly, say "Yes!" in reply.

Well, if suddenly it’s wrong, say boldly:

"Not!" Ready? Getting started!

- Multi-colored crackers?

— Blankets and pillows?

— Folding beds and cribs?

- Marmalade, chocolates?

- Glass balls?

- Wooden chairs?

- Teddy bears?

— Primers and books?

- Are the beads multi-colored?

- Are the garlands bright?

- Shoes and boots?

- Cups, forks, spoons?

Are the candies shiny?

Are the tigers real?

- Are the buds golden?

Are the stars radiant?

I see you know how to decorate a Christmas tree. Do you know who Santa Claus is? If you agree with me, say "True" and disagree - "False."

True False

The facilitator starts the dialogue:

Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?

He comes at exactly seven

Santa Claus is a good old man, right?

He wears a hat and galoshes, right?

And that means it's time

All kids are waiting for.

Let's call Santa Claus!

A game that jokingly tests how attentive children are.

The guys at the end of the couplet, where it makes sense, shout “Me too!” in unison. But you need to listen to Santa Claus well. Sometimes it's better to be silent.

I wanted to have a ball

For this game, the poem by Daniil Kharms “I wanted to arrange a ball” may come in handy. The host anticipates this fun with such an introduction. "Do you know how to receive guests?" he asks. Children, of course, answer "Yes!". “It’s very good,” the host continues. Unfortunately, some people don't know how to do it. It is about such strange people that we will compose a poem with you and the poet Daniil Kharms. I will start, and you have the main role: you will come up with rhymes.

Leading. I wanted to have a ball

And all the guests to yourself ...

Children. Called!

Leading. I bought flour, I bought cottage cheese,

I baked crumbly...

Children. Pie!

Leading. Pie, knives and forks here,

But something the guests don't...

Children. They're coming!

Leading. I waited until I had the strength

Then a piece...

Children. I took a bite!

Leading. Then he pulled up a chair and sat down,

And the whole pie in a minute...

Children. Ate!

Leading. When the guests arrived

Even crumbs...

Children. Not found!

This is a guessing game for the little ones, they are happy to show how a bunny jumps, how a clumsy bear walks and how different animals “talk”.

Santa Claus. In the forest by the Christmas tree on New Year's Eve

There is a merry round dance.

Seated firmly on the bough,

Rooster cries...

Children. Ku-ka-re-ku!

Santa Claus. And every time in response to him

Mooing cow...

Children. Moo, moo, moo!

Santa Claus. I wanted to say “bravo” to the singers, but only the cat came out ...

Children. Meow!

Grandfather Freezing. Can't make out the words, say the frogs...

Children. Qua-qua-qua!

Santa Claus. And something whispers to the bullfinch

Funny pig...

Children. Oink oink oink!

Santa Claus. And smiling to myself

The goat sang...

Children. Be-be-be!

Santa Claus. And who the hell is that? The cuckoo screamed...

Children. Ku-ku!

Seen at the zoo

This is a musical game where Santa Claus sings, and the children answer:

— Behind the bars at the gate, a huge hippopotamus sleeps.

- Here is a baby elephant, a quiet dream is guarded by an old elephant.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

— The black-eyed marten is a wonderful bird!

- The evil-preslinging gray wolf snaps his teeth at the guys!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- Suddenly, penguins flew higher than spruce and aspen.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

- Ponies - little horses, how funny ponies are!

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- The insatiable beast jackal paced from wall to wall.

- We saw, we saw, we saw in the zoo!

- And the green crocodile walked importantly across the field.

- You're confusing, you're confusing, Grandpa, you're confusing!

Children must answer correctly, without losing the rhythm.

New Year's game "Answer the opposite"

This game is played at the end of the New Year holiday. The facilitator goes around the circle and asks questions. The one to whom he asks them can answer them, and all the guys should help in unison. Gradually (this is the responsibility of the facilitator) more and more guys answer. And the word "End" should already be said by the whole hall.

I'll say the word "high"

And you answer - "low".

I'll say the word "far away"

And you answer - "close."

I'll tell you the word "full",

You will answer - "hungry."

I'll say "hot" to you,

You answer - "cold".

I'll tell you the word "lie down",

You will answer me - "get up."

I'll tell you later "father",

You will answer me - "mother."

I'll tell you the word "dirty"

You will answer me - "clean".

I will say "slow" to you,

You will answer me - "quick".

I'll tell you the word "coward"

You will answer - "brave".

Now "beginning" I'll say

You answer - "the end."

Snowball

Distribution of gifts is the most pleasant and long-awaited moment at the New Year's holiday. It is always accompanied by some kind of attraction or game. The proposed game is suitable for a few home and not crowded "family" holidays. The redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag is arranged as follows: in a circle, adults and children pass a specially prepared "snowball" - made of cotton wool or white fabric. It's nice for Santa Claus to have one in his bag. “Kom” is transmitted, Santa Claus says:

Snowball we all roll,

We all count to five

One, two, three, four, five -

You sing a song.

You dance to dance.

You have to guess a riddle...

The person who bought the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues.

fairy tale nonsense

Children really like it when Grandfather confuses something. For example, how animals "talk". The guys "teach" Santa Claus and correct him. According to the same principle, a fun was invented in which the "dark" Baba Yaga or someone from her entourage mix up the names of all fairy-tale heroes. For example:

Goblin(Baba Yaga). Here, old, yesterday I was walking through the forest, and to meet me - this green crocodile with his Buracheshka!

Baba Yaga. Not Buracheshka, you stupid dumbass, but Burchekashka!

Goblin. No, Buracheshka!

Yaga. Burchekashka!

Goblin. And we'll ask the guys, Buracheshka or Burchekashka?

Children. Cheburashka!

Goblin. So I say, Cheburashka! They go, so they ask me if I saw this, Chi-no-bu-ra.

Yaga. Here's an idiot! You are an idiot, Goblin! Remember, not Tinoburo, but Roboutino!

Goblin. So guys?

Children. Pinocchio!

Goblin. Wow, Pinocchio!

Yaga. And why do they need Pinocchio?

Goblin. So I ask, why? And they tell me: “Today will be a big holiday. Everyone will gather there: both Dyuychomovka and Saloruchka "...

Yaga. Who-who?

Goblin. Dyuychomovka, Saloruchka ... So, children?

Children. No not like this.

Goblin. But as?

Children. Thumbelina, Little Mermaid!

Goblin. In, in, and this Grandfather Romoz himself will come to them with his Sgunerochka!

Children. Santa Claus with the Snow Maiden!

Such an approximate scene may be present in the New Year's scenario, or the host for the holiday may prepare a funny story. The older the children, the more incomprehensible and funnier you can change names. If there are few guys, then you can even identify a connoisseur of the names of fairy-tale characters and give him a prize.

Visiting Santa Claus

This is a game for kids. Santa Claus invites children to go to his forest hut. When the guys stand behind Grandfather with a “train”, he leads them, sentencing and showing different movements that the children must perform.

We held hands together

How the horses galloped.

(Grandfather shows how horses jump, raising their knees high, and the children repeat.)

We jump one after another -

We are not afraid of the cold!

And now we are like bears

We went along the path.

(Grandfather walks slowly, waddling from foot to foot, the children repeat.)

We're walking along

And we don't get tired

Like playful bunnies

Both girls and boys!

(Everyone jumps like bunnies.)

Jump, pranksters,

On a happy holiday!

- Here we are! Grandpa announces. - Dance, have fun!

(Funny music sounds, children jump, dance.)

Santa Claus puts the kids in a round dance, himself in the middle. Sings and shows the children movements:
