Leading:

In a very, very old fairy tale

There is a snow tower, and in it

Snow Maiden Princess is sleeping

Uninterrupted sound sleep.

She sleeps, but today,

Waking up from sleep,

Come to us for the Winter's Tale celebration

She will be a guest.

Elegant favorite

We are all waiting for the holiday,

Our dear Snow Maiden,

Elegant, beautiful

We'll invite you to visit us.

All: Snow Maiden!

The Snow Maiden enters.

Snow Maiden:

Hello my friends,

I came to your Christmas tree!

I heard from friends

From all the forest animals,

Why did you decorate the Christmas tree?

Everyone was invited to the celebration.

The children all came to the Christmas tree,

Guests are here, but here's a question:

Where does our merry wander?

Good Grandfather Frost?

It's time for him to come,

He was delayed on the way.

Santa Claus, ay, ay,

Do you hear me calling you!

For some reason he can't hear me,

Maybe we can call together?

Children: Santa Claus! Santa Claus!

Santa Claus: Aw, aww!

Children: Santa Claus! Santa Claus!

Father Frost: I'm coming!

Music sounds and Santa Claus enters the hall.

Father Frost:

I am a cheerful Santa Claus,

Your New Year's guest,

Don't hide your nose from me,

I'm good today.

I remember exactly a year ago

I saw these guys

The year has flown by like an hour,

I didn't even notice

Here I am again among you,

Dear children!

Behind the mountains, behind the forests

I've missed you all year,

I remembered you every day

I collected gifts for everyone!

Quickly everyone get up in a circle,

Sing a song together.

Round dance "A Christmas tree was born in the forest."

Ded Moroz and Snegurochka:

Happy New Year!

With new happiness!

With new joy for everyone!

Let them sound under this vault

Songs, music and laughter!

Father Frost:

I'm feeling a little hot, granddaughter.

I'll fly on business

And then I will return to you.

Leading:

Now we'll sit

And let's look at the Christmas tree.

Near the New Year tree

Miracles happen,

Right now in our hall

The fairy tale begins.

The lights go out. A soundtrack of slow music plays. The light turns on.

Koschey lies by the Christmas tree, Baba Yaga sits nearby, preening.

Murchik the cat comes in, sits at a distance, and washes himself with his paw.

Snow Maiden: Once upon a time there lived Koschey, Baba Yaga and the cat Murchik.

Murchik: Oh, and I got the owners, well, it’s just punishment! Koschey's skeleton lies on the stove all day long, and Yaga spends weeks twirling in front of the mirror, preparing for a beauty contest, a beauty has been found!

Baba Yaga:

Slender little leg,

A twig in a braid...

Who doesn't know Yagochka?

Everyone knows Yaga.

Witches at the holiday

They will gather in a circle.

How does Yagochka dance?

Best of all friends!

Murchik: Wow! I wish you had a poker and a broom, you slackers! U good people Everything is stocked up for winter: pickles, jams, firewood, and kind words! And you will stretch out your paws!

Koschey: We drank tea and ate potatoes. The last wood in the stove has burned out... What are we going to do?

Baba Yaga: What to do, what to do?.. Let's eat the cat!

Murchik: Masters, have you gone completely wild? We need to run away from here before we really get eaten out of hunger!

Baba Yaga and Koschey try to catch the cat, but it runs away.

Baba Yaga: There’s nothing to do, Kosha. Since we don’t like to work, we have to go to robbery. Let's go get ready...

They leave.

Snow Maiden: Guys, while these idlers are gone, let's continue the celebration. In winter there is a lot of snow, you can make snowmen and just snowballs from it. Let's have a snowball fight!

Game "Collect snowballs"

Two children or two teams play. Snowballs made of cotton wool are scattered on the floor. The children are blindfolded and given a basket. At the signal, they begin to collect snowballs. The one who collects the most snowballs wins.

Snow Maiden: Well done, guys! Oh, it seems that Yaga and Koshchei are returning. Sit down on the chairs, let's see what they will do?

They come in. Baba Yaga and Koschey with pistols, rope and saber.

Baba Yaga: It looks like we’ve gathered, but when are we going to commit robbery? When do we start?

Koschey: Let's start now! And that is, I really want to! Forward! Robbery!

Baba Yaga: Forward!

They run away screaming. The cat Murchik appears.

Murchik: What wicked people they are, they just want to ruin everything, they’ve been like this all their lives!

Snow Maiden: Don’t worry, Murchik, they won’t be able to ruin our holiday. Let's better get together with the guys interesting game Let's play.

Murchik: In which?

Snow Maiden: The game is called "Save Santa Claus."

Murchik: Meow! What should we save him from?

Snow Maiden: Now you'll see for yourself.

They bring out two portraits of Frost without a nose.

Snow Maiden: You see, Murchik, he came to see us at the beginning of the holiday, and it’s very hot here, so he sent his portraits with a melted nose. We'll put a spell on his nose now, and it will appear on him right away.

Murchik: How do we do this?

Snow Maiden: Very simple.

Game “Let's put a spell on Grandfather Frost's nose”

Two children come out.

Snow Maiden: Here is a portrait without a nose, and here are the noses.

(The Snow Maiden gives the children a piece of plasticine.)

Snow Maiden: Look carefully, do you understand where to attach the noses? (Children answer.) We’ll just bewitch noses with eyes closed. Look again and remember.

Snegurochka and Murchik blindfold the children, spin them around and offer to fasten their noses.

Murchik: Well done, guys, it’s okay that Grandfather’s nose has grown a little crooked, the main thing is how he can breathe.

Snow Maiden: Well, since Grandfather Frost’s nose is fine, maybe he’ll come to us again, at least for a little while?

Murchik: Meow! Yes, yes, otherwise your ears will melt, and it’s harder to bewitch two ears than one nose!

Snow Maiden: Let's call him!

All: Father Frost!

Santa Claus solemnly enters, the cat leaves unnoticed.

Father Frost:

Hello again guys,

Dear girls, boys,

Cheerful, funny,

The kids are very nice.

Granddaughter, have you figured out during this time whether there are naughty people and pranksters at our holiday?

Snow Maiden: Not a single one!

Father Frost:

Yes? Well, let's ask them themselves.

Guys, are there any pranksters among you? (No!)

What about the ugly ones? (No!)

And the mischievous ones? (No!)

What about the naughty girls? (No!)

What about the good kids? (No!)

You see, Snow Maiden, there are no good kids among them either. (Laughs.)

Snow Maiden: Oh, grandpa, you’re joking again, and yet the Christmas tree isn’t lit yet.

Father Frost:

What is this? What a mess it is

There are no lights on your Christmas tree!

So that the tree lights up,

You will use the words:

“Surprise us with beauty,

Christmas tree, turn on the lights!

Come on together, come on together!

Children repeat the words, the Christmas tree lights up.

Snow Maiden:

Guys, stand in a circle,

The music calls to the Christmas tree,

Hold your hands tighter.

Let's start the round dance!

Round dance "Santa Claus".

Father Frost: Is there order in our domain, Snow Maiden?

Snow Maiden: What's the order, grandpa? There is no snow, no icicles, I’m generally silent about the blizzard. If only you could sprinkle some snow on the kids for fun!

Father Frost: I will now blow cold magical breath - it will become cool and snowflakes will swirl.

Dance of snowflakes.

Snow Maiden:

Wow, there was so much snow!

I suggest you play!

And everyone has fun together

Throw snowballs.

The Snow Maiden takes out “snowballs” from her bag - tennis balls pre-decorated with snowflakes and a container into which these “snowballs” need to fall - a Magic Pot.

I made some snowballs

I forgot to take them with me

We need to give everyone snowballs

We will throw them accurately.

The Snow Maiden puts some of the snowballs on the floor so that later they can be conveniently taken out, distributes one to the children, and keeps one for herself.

Snow Maiden(addressing a child):

Here, take it, my friend, snowball

And throw it into the pot (Snow Maiden shows how to do this.)

We'll get some more snow

We'll hit it very accurately! (The Snow Maiden offers to throw a snowball to another child.)

The game continues until all the snowballs are abandoned. in the Magic Pot.

And now in our pot

Let's cook porridge for Santa Claus.

The Snow Maiden brings a pot of snowballs to Santa Claus.

Father Frost: Well, we've fed you! Thank you guys. Well, Snow Maiden, the snow is fine, let's check everything else.

Game "I'll freeze"

The players form a circle and extend their arms forward. At a signal from Santa Claus, they run inside the circle in opposite directions. Santa Claus tries to slap the players on the palms, which they must have time to remove. Anyone touched by Santa Claus is considered frozen and no longer takes part in the game. The last player wins.

Father Frost: Wow, well done guys! And you, granddaughter, saved such cold in my magic refrigerator! Have you hung up the northern lights?..

Snow Maiden: I hung it up! Oh, grandfather, we didn’t count the stars! Suddenly so lost!..

Father Frost: Yes, it's a mess! You count from that edge, and I will be from this.

Father Frost and the Snow Maiden go into the background behind the Christmas tree, Baba Yaga and Koschey appear.

Koschey: Look, some grandfather...

Baba Yaga: And with him is a girl and a bag...

Koschey: What are we going to steal?

Baba Yaga: Come on girl!

Koschey: No, a bag! Why do you need a girl?

Baba Yaga: Do you have a granddaughter?

Koschey: No.

Baba Yaga: Neither do I. If we steal her, she will do everything for us, and we will only go to robbery and lie on the stove.

Koschey: Well, you stupid thing is a stupid thing! Where have you seen girls doing something? Mothers and grandmothers do everything for them. We take the bag.

Baba Yaga: And now we’ll check whether I’m right or you. Well, girls, which one of you is brave?

Game "Cleaner"

To play you will need 4 buckets with small toys. On command, Baba Yaga and Koschey begin to scatter toys, and the girls quickly collect them in buckets. The one who managed to collect the most will win.

Baba Yaga: Ha, I told you so! You see, girls are always useful on the farm. Moreover, the girl will walk with her own feet, but she will have to carry the bag.

Koschey: This is an argument! We take the girl, and if she doesn’t help, she can always be eaten!

Baba Yaga: Hey girl!

Snow Maiden(turns around): What, grandma?

Baba Yaga: Do you want this candy?

Shows a huge candy with his hands.

Snow Maiden: So big?

Koschey: Big, big! (Takes out a small caramel.)

Baba Yaga and Koschey kidnap the Snow Maiden. Santa Claus finishes counting the stars and comes out from behind the tree.

Father Frost: Four million six hundred eighty seven... Snow Maiden! Did she fall into a snowdrift?.. Granddaughter! We have no time to joke, the guys are waiting for us!

Murchik the cat comes running.

Murchik: What's happened? What's wrong? What happened, Santa Claus?

Father Frost: The Snow Maiden is missing! I was just standing here, and now I’m not!

Murchik: Children, did you see who stole the Snow Maiden? (Children speak.)

Father Frost: Oh, that’s clear, don’t worry, nothing will work out for them! My granddaughter has character! Well, if things get difficult, we will come to the rescue. Now start a round dance to lift your spirits!

After the round dance, the children sit on chairs. Father Frost and Murchik fade into the background, Baba Yaga and Koshchei appear, pushing the Snow Maiden in front of them.

Koschey(pushing Snow Maiden): Drag her through the snowdrifts! Punishment! And she said - she’ll go on her own, she’ll go on her own! What's your name?

Snow Maiden: Snow Maiden!

Baba Yaga: Are you hard-working?

Snow Maiden: Me? Very! I love to draw on windows and I can count stars!

Koschey: We can draw on windows ourselves! There's no point in getting them dirty! But, for example, can you cook borscht?

Snow Maiden: Borsch? Is this cabbage soup?

Koschey(briskly): With cabbage, with cabbage!

Snow Maiden: No I can not. Grandpa and I love ice cream.

Baba Yaga: Now it has tied itself around our necks. He doesn't know how to cook borscht!

Koschey(To Baba Yaga): I told you, you need to take the bag, and you keep the girl, the girl...

Baba Yaga: In general, Snow Maiden, you will now be our granddaughter.

Snow Maiden: And who are you?

Baba Yaga and Koschey: Robbers!

Snow Maiden: Real robbers?

Baba Yaga: Yes, the real ones! We have everything: an ax, a pistol, a knife, and a rope! And we gathered helpers for ourselves.

Hey, robbers, come running,

Let your dance begin!

Dance of the robbers.

Snow Maiden: What is it, the New Year is coming, but you have neither a holiday nor a Christmas tree?

Koschey: How is it not? There are a lot of Christmas trees in the forest!

Snow Maiden: Oh, I'm talking about a decorated Christmas tree. Even children know about this.

Santa Claus enters.

Father Frost: Ah, there you are, robbers, I’ve finally found you! Give me my Snow Maiden, otherwise I'm one of you fir cones I'll do it!

Koschey and Baba Yaga:

Oh, don't, oh, we're afraid,

We will surrender to you without a fight!

They back away, run away and stealthily steal Santa Claus's bag.

Father Frost: It seems that we have gotten rid of these idlers and hooligans. Now I want to listen to poetry, sit and rest, otherwise I was completely exhausted while wandering through the forest.

Children read poetry.

Father Frost: Well done!

Snow Maiden: Grandfather, who do you think is more fun in our hall - girls or boys?

Father Frost: But now we’ll check it out, and for this we’ll split up like this: the guys will freeze! They will laugh: ha ha ha!

Snow Maiden: And the girls are little snowmen - hee-hee-hee!

Father Frost: Come on, they're freezing! (Laugh.)

Snow Maiden: And now the snow babies! (Laugh.)

Father Frost: And the naughty boys - ha-ha-ha! ha ha ha!

Snow Maiden: And the fun girls - hee hee hee! hee hee hee!

Father Frost:

They made a noise, they laughed

All of you, truly, from the heart.

Both girls and boys

They were very good!

We sang and played

I'm glad to have fun!

Now isn't it time for us

Host a masquerade ball?

Snow Maiden:

Come on, everyone is in suits and masks

Become as if in a fairy tale.

Let's go with Grandfather,

We'll find the best suits.

Father Frost:

We will rightfully reward everyone,

We won't deprive anyone.

Snow Maiden:

Everyone knows, on New Year's Eve

Each of us is waiting for a gift!

For someone in the morning Santa Claus

He brought them in a large basket.

But good luck here for you too

Santa Claus has gifts in store!

Father Frost(looks for a bag): It can’t be! What's happened? I can't find the bag!

Snow Maiden: Or maybe you left it in the forest?

Father Frost: No, I know for sure that I hid the bag somewhere here, but I can’t remember where!

Snow Maiden:

No, the bag is not visible here,

Grandfather, what a shame!

Really no gifts?

Will the children leave the party?

Father Frost:

How will they leave? I won't allow it!

I'll find the gifts!

Wait, children, we will come

And we'll bring gifts.

Father Frost and Snow Maiden leave the hall. Koschey and Baba Yaga appear. Koschey is carrying a bag.

Baba Yaga: Kosha, come here quickly!

Koschey: Wow, I barely carried the bag. And why is it so heavy? There are probably a lot of goodies in it.

Baba Yaga: Come on, come on, here, here! How will we divide?

Koschey: Yes! Am I carrying a bag? I! This means that most of the gifts are mine!

Baba Yaga: Look, what a smart guy! Who gave you the idea to do such a thing?

Baba Yaga and Koschey are arguing. The Snow Maiden comes in.

Snow Maiden: You again? And what do you have? Come on, come on! Bag!

Baba Yaga and Koschey are blocking the bag.

Baba Yaga:

We found a treasure under a bush,

And there is innumerable goodness in him.

Snow Maiden: Yes, this is Santa Claus's bag!

Koschey: We don't know anything! This is our bag!

Snow Maiden: Let's see, Santa Claus will come, then speak differently. Guys, call Santa Claus!

Santa Claus appears. Santa Claus: What happened?

Snow Maiden: Grandfather, we found it, we found it! Here's your bag of gifts...

Koschey and Baba Yaga:

We won't give you a bag,

We'll eat everything in it ourselves.

Father Frost: Well, if so, help yourself!

Koschey and Baba Yaga, pushing each other away, take out a torn shoe and hat from the bag.

Baba Yaga: We don't want such gifts! Koschey: Just holes!

Father Frost: What they deserved is what they got. Whoever touches my bag with dishonest hands receives rags and cast-offs as gifts.

Baba Yaga: Is this really how the New Year will go without gifts?

Father Frost: Various miracles happen on New Year's Eve. I made sure the gifts ended up under your pillows. You will definitely find them!

Koschey, Baba Yaga: And we?

Koschey:

Eh, we want some treats

We ask for your forgiveness!

Grandfather, Snow Maiden, forgive me,

And give me a gift!

Baba Yaga:

We will improve, believe me,

We will start a new life!

We will be kinder, better

Every hour, every day!

Father Frost: Well, guys, shall we forgive them? (Yes!)

Fine! And you will find gifts from me in the hut.

Snow Maiden:

Here we say goodbye to you,

And we give you an order:

May you all be healthy

Getting better every day!

Father Frost:

To have in your life

And fun and laughter.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year

Congratulations to everyone, everyone, everyone!

See you next year,

Wait for me, I'll come!

The characters say goodbye and leave.

What fun New Year would be complete without competitions, relay races and other entertainment programs? These games will help you entertain your little guests and tell you what to prepare for this. It will be more interesting if you prepare small souvenirs in advance for those who win. This could be any office supplies: pencils, erasers, pens, balloons, notebooks.

Maybe something edible: candy, waffles (packaged), lollipops, chewing gum etc.

FUN RELAY

This is a very fun and active game. It should not be done immediately after eating. To conduct this relay race, you will need two chairs (or stools), two ropes on pegs, two buckets, two balls.

Participants are divided into two teams. At the command of the leader, players must complete the following tasks: jump over a rope, run around a chair, throw a ball into a bucket (preferably hit it). The team that performs all the listed actions faster and more accurately wins.

WHO WILL COLLECT THE MOST SNOWFLAKES?

To start this competition, you need to organize a mini-competition for cutting out paper “snowflakes”. To do this, you need to give the children colored and (or) shiny paper of a size suitable for the size of the future “snowflakes”, give them scissors in their hands, and also ask them to use all their imagination and skill and make paper “snowflakes”.

After these small works of art are ready, you can proceed to the competition itself.

“Snowflakes” spill out onto the floor. At the leader’s command (this could be ringing a bell, clapping hands, or the words: “One, two, three, start!”), the children begin to collect “snowflakes.” At the same time, you need to make sure that they collect “snowflakes” not in handfuls, but individually. The game ends when the host rings the bell again (or gives some other command). At the same time, all participants stop, and everyone who can count counts their “trophy”. If the participant does not yet know how to count, then the presenter helps him in this difficult task. The one with the most snowflakes wins.

ACCURATE SHOOTER

This competition develops accuracy and attentiveness in children. For this, you need to prepare “snowballs” in advance (3 “snowballs” per child) from a ball of cotton wool and wrap them in shiny, multi-colored “rain.” But if you haven’t had time to prepare, then you can entrust it to little craftsmen to do it. And as a prize you can give them the same “snowballs” that they make with their own hands. But before you hand out the snowballs, organize a competition.

Divide the participants into two teams. Each player must be given snowballs. Children take turns throwing snowballs into a hoop or basket, which must be prepared in advance and placed on the floor. The team with the most snowballs in the hoop will win.

MEMORIES OF SUMMER

This competition develops children's reaction speed and attentiveness. To hold it, you need to prepare multi-colored “daisies” in advance (according to the number of participants). Each petal of the future “daisy” should be cut out of colored paper the size of a landscape sheet. You also need to cut out a round center that is the size of the “daisy”.

Chamomile petals are laid out on the floor (mixed, colored side up). Participants stand near their “centers”. At the leader's command, they begin to collect daisies. The winner will be the player who collects his daisy first and most correctly.

CORRECT SNOWMAN

To hold this competition, you need to prepare in advance large sheets clean paper. The size of the sheet will depend on the size of the snowman you want to see. You can take a sheet of A1 format (Whatman paper). The amount of paper and markers (or markers) will depend on the number of participants.

The players are blindfolded (a neckerchief or scarf is suitable for this purpose) and given a felt-tip pen. Each participant begins to draw a snowman. The winner will be the one whose drawing is the most accurate (or more suitable for the image of a snowman).

This competition can be made as a team competition. Each team has three players. In this case, each participant will draw his own snowman circle. The team that completed the task better will win.

BALL BASKETBALL

For this game, you will need to inflate two balloons in advance, prepare two baskets in which these balls would fit, and two 30-50 cm rulers.

Participants are divided into two teams. Each player must “bring” the ball with a ruler to the basket (through the air) and lower it with the same ruler into the basket standing on the floor. In this case, the ball should not fall to the floor and should not be touched by any part of the body. The winner is the team that gets the ball to the basket faster than the other (one at a time) with the fewest mistakes. The game may end if the ball bursts.

WHERE IS THE NOSE?

For the game to be a success, you need to draw a snowman in advance on a large sheet of paper (you can use whatman paper) and attach it to some vertical surface (wall, door, closet, etc.). Make the nose for this snowman separately: take a sheet of paper, roll it into the shape of a nose (“potato-shaped”, elongated) and wrap it with tape, but only with the sticky side up, so that the nose sticks to any surface.

Participants line up one after another, dividing into two teams. The queue can be established by numbers that are drawn in advance. The presenter blindfolds each player with a handkerchief or scarf, then spins the participant around his axis with the words: “It spins, spins, everything will stick to us,” and turns him to face the drawing. The player must stick the snowman's nose while blindfolded. For each accurate sticking of the nose, the participant receives a snowflake. The team with the most snowflakes wins.

NEW YEAR'S PICTURES

This game develops attention in children. Both interesting and useful. It will require two identical pictures with drawings (Christmas trees, snowmen, snowflakes, sleighs, skates).

The presenter lays out the pictures on the table, images down, and mixes them. Two participants take turns choosing two pictures. If the images match, the player takes them for himself; if not, he puts them back. The game continues until there are no pictures left on the table. The one who collects the most pictures wins.

Grandmas-Hedgehogs

This is an active game. To carry it out, prepare in advance a broom (like a janitor) or a broom, skittles (the quantity depends on the available distance). Participants must be divided into two teams. Each player runs on a broomstick (zigzag) between pins placed at a distance of 2-3 m from one another. In this game, the team that runs the fastest and knocks down the fewest pins wins.

DASHING CHAUFFERS

In this game, you will need toy cars (preferably trucks), on which you can place glasses (or small buckets) of water, filled to the brim. The number of cars will depend on the number of participants. Participants will have numbers pinned to their chests.

You need to tie ropes of the same length (10-15 m) to the cars. At the leader’s command, participants must quickly wind the rope around the stick, pulling the machine towards them. If the water splashes, the presenter loudly calls the number of the “driver”, and he stops winding the rope for a second. The winner is the participant who pulled up the car faster than the others without spilling the water. You can play without water, you just need to lengthen the rope.

BALL RACING

This is a very fun and noisy game. Before the game you need to inflate the balloons very much. Each participant sits on his own ball and begins to jump on it. The goal of the game is to jump on the ball as long as possible without it bursting.

The winner will be the one whose balloon goes the longest without bursting.

FLIGHT ON SNOWFLAKES

For this outdoor game, we will need to cut out 4 paper “snowflakes” in a size that matches the shoe size of the largest participant. “Snowflakes” can be made from ordinary white or colored paper, but it will be better if they are made from some thick paper (for example, Whatman paper) or thin cardboard.

All participants must be divided into two teams. At the leader’s signal, participants must put one “snowflake” on the floor and step on it with both feet (without stepping on the free floor), then put the other one and step on it. So, rearranging the “snowflakes”, reach the chair. While the kids “fly” from “snowflake” to “snowflake”, the presenter can comment on their “flight”. Participants must run back. The team that arrives the fastest will win.

COCK-FIGHTS

This outdoor game can be played between two players or between two teams. Two participants stand opposite each other. At the leader’s command, the participants put one hand behind their back and begin to jump on one leg. At the same time, they push each other with their free hand. The winner is the participant who can stay on one leg longer than the other (without falling or standing on the other leg). If the game is played between teams, then each participant who wins is given a “snowflake” cut out of paper. The team with the most snowflakes will be considered the winner.

MISSING UNDER THE CAP

For this game you need to make a beautiful New Year's hat out of paper in advance, decorate it with tinsel, “rain”, and brightly paint it.

One player is taken out of the room where the participants are located. The remaining players (or the leader) hide one participant under a bright blanket and cover it with a prepared cap on top. All other participants change places. When the presenter brings in the player who came out, the player must determine who is hidden under the hood.

NEW YEAR FIGURES

This competition develops imagination and intelligence in young participants. The presenter gives each player multi-colored, bright, non-stick plasticine. Then he shows a letter (it is better to write the letters in advance on separate cards). Participants must create something New Year's (or winter) starting with this letter as quickly as possible. It could be a sleigh, a snowman, a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a hat, mittens, felt boots. The winner will be the one who makes a plasticine figure the fastest.

FOUND RING

A ring is suitable for this game big size(diameter about 20-25 cm). It can be made from wire or cut out of some thick paper. And to make it elegant, it should be wrapped in shiny paper, tinsel or “rain.” Participants sit on chairs in a circle. Each player is given a rope, the ends of which are pre-tied, and a ring is threaded through this rope. The presenter (one of the little guests) stands in the middle of this circle. He is blindfolded with a handkerchief or scarf. The leader’s task is to find the ring on a string, while all participants move it in a circle or in different directions. When the ring is found, the leader should be changed.

FUNNY SLEDGE

In this game, participants must be divided into 2-3 equal teams. Each player is given a paper “sled” tied to a thread (the length of the thread can be 1-1.2 m), which must be cut out in advance from a landscape sheet and decorated with 2-3 (depending on the number of teams) colors. Each participant fastens his end of the thread with the “sledge” to the back of his belt so that the “sleigh” freely touches the floor. If the participant cannot do this, the presenter helps him. Each team has a sled different color. At the leader’s signal, the players, running after each other, try to step on the “sled” of the “opponent”. Participants are not allowed to touch the threads and “sleds” with their hands. The player whose sled is torn off leaves the game. The team with the most sleds left wins.

CHASING THE ICICLE

This competition will require two participants. But it can be carried out until everyone present has played enough in pairs.

You need to tie an “icicle” in the middle of the rope. You can take it from old stocks of Christmas tree decorations or, if you have imagination and skill, make it yourself from paper, cotton wool or something else and wrap it with multi-colored paper, tinsel or “rain”. A simple pencil, also beautifully designed, is attached to the ends of the rope. Each participant stands on their own side of the rope. His task is to wind his part of the rope around the pencil. The winner will be the one who reaches the “icicle” faster than the other.

JUMP INTO THE NEW YEAR

For this competition you need all participants (if there are very many participants) a large number of, then take half) line up in one line. At the command of the presenter, all participants “jump” into the New Year. The winner is the participant who jumped the farthest.

NAVIGATOR

It's simple fun game, which does not require any skills from children. For this game, you should prepare in advance binoculars and a rope 5-6 m long (or such a length that it is comparable to the size of the room in which the competition is held). You need to lay a rope on the floor, not in a straight strip, but in a winding way. The participant is given binoculars, turning them over so that the objects become smaller. The participant, looking through binoculars, must walk along the entire length of the rope, trying to get his feet on it more accurately. The winner will be the navigator who completes the entire course more accurately than other navigators.

Games and entertainment for the New Year

BALL AROUND THE CIRCLE

All participants in this game stand in a circle. Each child is given inflated balloons. But one participant is not given a ball. The presenter includes some New Year's song or, if you have the ability, musical instrument, plays the melody himself. When the music plays, players pass each ball to their neighbor. When the music stops, the player who ends up without a ball is out of the game. After a player is eliminated, one ball is also taken away. If someone's ball bursts during the game, that participant is also eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who remains last in the game.

LEAF Lump

The participants of the game stand in one row. Everyone is given a landscape sheet, which they will hold by the corner at arm's length. When the leader gives any command to start the game, for example, ringing a bell, or says: “One, two, three - start!”, then each player must crumple his piece of paper into a ball (into a fist) with one hand (without helping the other). At the same time, you cannot lower your hand with the piece of paper. Whoever completes this task raises his hand (with a crumpled piece of paper) above his head.

THREE HEROES

Let's choose the three most daring "cheaters". They need to be given an uninflated balloon. Participants must inflate the balloons until they burst.

The player whose balloon bursts the fastest will win. As a prize you can give a whole and brand new balloon.

COLLECTIVE MASTERPIECE

In this team game Any guest who wants to feel like a real artist can participate. Participants are divided into two or more teams of 3-4 people. Each team is given a sheet of paper, preferably in A1 format, so that there is a large field for artistic activity. And each participant is given a felt-tip pen (or marker). To make it more interesting, each “artist” is blindfolded (with a handkerchief or scarf). The presenter names the topic for drawing, it’s better if it’s something New Year’s (snowman, Father Frost, Snow Maiden), then commands: “One, two, three - start drawing,” and everyone starts drawing at the same time. The team that draws the fastest will win. But in this competition one must also take into account the accuracy of the work performed.

BLIND ARTIST

There may be several participants in this competition. The presenter must take a pre-prepared Whatman paper with two holes cut for the hands. Each participant stands behind a Whatman paper and puts their hands into the slots. Then everyone is given a felt-tip pen (or marker) and a landscape sheet. The presenter says what exactly the participants should draw (preferably something New Year's and not very complicated). The participant must, without seeing what exactly he is drawing, complete the task of the presenter. The winner in this competition is the one who displays the task on a piece of paper more accurately than others (whoever is most similar).

FIREFIGHTERS

This competition develops reactions among the assembled participants. To start this competition, you need to place two chairs with their backs facing each other at a distance of 1 m and hang a jacket on each back of the chair, but only the sleeves of these jackets must first be turned inside out. You should place a rope under the chairs so that its ends “peek out” a little from under the chairs. Contestants stand next to each of their chairs. At the command of the leader (the ringing of a bell or the words: “One, two, three - start!”), both participants must each take “their” jacket, turn out the sleeves, quickly put it on, fasten all the buttons, run around the opponent’s chair, sit on their chair and pull the end of the rope. The winner will be the participant who completes all the proposed actions faster than the other while wearing a correctly put on and buttoned jacket.

BRIDGE FROM CLOTHESPENS

Both individuals and teams can take part in this competition. For this, you need to prepare a large number of clothespins in advance. It is better if they are bright and colorful. Participants are given the same number of clothespins.

They begin to build a "bridge" by attaching one clothespin to the tip of another. The winner will be the participant (or team) who builds their multi-colored “bridge” faster than others. If there are too many clothespins, and not enough time is allocated for this competition, then you can limit the competition in time. The host can stop the game at any time by giving some kind of signal to end. This could be a ringing bell, a whistle, or the words: “One, two, three - stop the competition!” In this case, the winner will be the one with the longest “bridge”.

STIRLITZ

This game develops attention and visual memory. All players freeze in some position. Before this, a presenter is selected (from among the little guests), who must remember as much as possible better poses participants and what clothes each participant is wearing. After this he is taken out of the room. All participants try to change something in their poses and clothes (five changes in total). The returning leader must return all changes that occurred to the participants to their original state. If he remembers everything correctly, then he is awarded some kind of prize (or his real wish is fulfilled), and the presenter can be replaced and the game repeated. If the presenter could not remember the initial position and clothes of the players, then he needs to lead again.

BACK PAINTING

In this competition, the presenter acts as a judge. All participants are divided into pairs. Pairs perform in turns. The participant draws some figure on his partner’s back (maybe some animal, an object that can be depicted). The rest of the participants do not see the “back painting”. The partner must guess and draw what his “colleague” drew. This must be convincing so that his “pantomime” will be guessed by the other players to whom he showed all this. Every couple does this. The pair that guesses the most figures wins. For each figure guessed, the presenter can give the pair a “snowflake”. In this case, the winner is the pair with the most snowflakes.

ADVANCES

This competition develops reactions in young participants. All participants in this competition stand in a circle, and the presenter (who is selected from the small guests) stands in the center of this circle. When the music sounds, the presenter begins to dance, and the rest of the participants repeat all the movements after him. During the dance, the leader must unexpectedly and imperceptibly step on someone's foot, and the players must dodge in every possible way. If someone didn’t have time, then he takes the place of the leader, and the game starts again. It can be carried out until all participants are in the role of presenter. If time for the competition is limited, then the game can be played for 5-10 minutes.

REVERSE ARTIST

For this competition, you need to attach a felt-tip pen (marker) vertically at a distance of 1-1.3 m from the floor (a chair with a writing object attached to the back of it with tape will do). A participant who wants to play the role of an “artist” is given a sheet of paper (landscape paper is suitable for these purposes). The newly minted artist begins to move a piece of paper under a felt-tip pen, drawing some kind of picture. It could be something New Year’s (it’s best to choose something simpler for the drawing: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, skis). When everyone has played enough, we can hold an exhibition of everyone “ works of art"with a detailed story from the author himself about his work.

FULL COWBOY

It is better to make two boys participants in this “cowboy competition”. They should stand opposite each other. Each participant must put one banana in their pocket. At the leader’s signal (this could be a whistle), the “cowboys” must quickly grab their bananas from their pockets, peel them and eat them. The “cowboy” who is the first to handle his “weapon” will win.

EXTRA BALLS

This is a very active game. It should be held after “sedentary” and calm competitions. All small guests present are divided into two teams. The leader places them in two lines facing each other and draws a line between them. Pre-prepared inflated balloons are thrown between the players. There should be a large number of balls (20-30 pieces), the more there are, the more interesting the game will be. At the leader’s signal (whistle, bell), each team must try to throw the balls out of their territory and throw them into the enemy’s territory. The game can last 3-5 minutes.

MEMORIES OF INFANCY

This competition is best held after the active one, when the players begin to feel thirsty. All participants in this competition are given glasses with a viscous liquid (this can be jelly, liquid semolina, thick tomato juice) and straws. You can pour the liquid into baby bottles with a nipple. At the leader’s command (these words could be: “You’re a baby, start drinking liquid!”), all participants begin to drink (each from their own container). The winner is the participant who drinks everything faster than the rest. The reward may be a glass of juice (if the participant has not yet drunk).

CAPTURED ARTIST

Anyone who wants to participate in this competition must tie their hands behind their back. The presenter gives him a piece of paper (a sketchbook sheet may well be suitable for such a creation) and a felt-tip pen (marker, pen, colored pencil). The player must draw some object or animal with tied hands (preferably something associated with the New Year). After the “artist” has finished his “masterpiece,” those around him must guess what he painted. This game can be played as a competition. In this case, there should be several “artists”. Those who guess the “artist’s” idea are given a “snowflake” cut out of paper. Of those who guessed, the winner will be the one who collects the most “snowflakes”, and of the “artists” - who will more accurately convey his idea in the drawing.

EAT JELLY WITHOUT REGRETS

For this competition you need to prepare the jelly in advance. Each participant (the number of participants depends on the number of servings of jelly) is given a portion of jelly, blindfolded and given the smallest spoon that you have in your hand. Participants need to eat this jelly faster than others. The winner will be not only the fastest, but also the most accurate. You can make the competition more difficult (depending on the age of the children) by giving them toothpicks instead of spoons.

MATRYOSHKA PARADE

This is a very fun game. All participants must be placed in a circle one after another. Everyone is given a scarf. In this game, each participant must tie a scarf to his neighbor, who has his back to him. At the same time, the “matryoshka” itself should not adjust anything on itself, but at the same time tie its scarf to the “matryoshka” in front. When all participants have completed the task, a parade of all the “matryoshka dolls” is held. You can hold a parallel “matryoshka” beauty contest and award the prize to “The Most Charming”, “The Most Sloppy”, “The Funniest” (that “matryoshka” that will never stop laughing at itself and those around you).

WHOSE PRIZE?

This game is best played last of all games. She will be remembered by all the children for a long time and will become the most beloved. For this game you need to prepare some prizes in advance and wrap them in colored bags. If the bags are made of white paper, then they can be painted with colored markers and decorated with tinsel. These bags should be hung on strings and attached to a long rope.

When the presenter hangs all the bags on a rope, each participant in turn covers their eyes with a scarf (or scarf), is given scissors in their hands and turns around their axis with the words: “I twist and turn - I want to cut off the prize.” At last words The presenter turns the participant to face the prizes, and the participant cuts off the first bag that comes to hand.

Several song-related competitions can be held. Songs are best suited for New Year and winter. “Song” competitions can be held alternately with regular ones. Here are some competitions you can offer using the songs themselves and lines from them.

KEEP YOUR MELODY

Several people can take part in this game, but as many as the number of participants can be observed by the presenter. Each participant chooses a song and begins to sing it out loud. At the same time, he should not pay attention to his neighbor, who, shouting over him, sings “his” song, and should not stray from the motive and words of “his” song. When the leader claps, everyone continues to sing their song mentally. After the presenter claps his hands again, everyone again begins to sing out loud, shouting over their neighbor. The presenter carefully observes that all participants sing the motive and words correctly. The participant who strays from “his” song is eliminated from the game. The winner is the one who sings his song to the end without missing a beat. As a prize, he can be offered to sing a verse of his favorite song that he sang, but without any interference.

LOST WORDS

For this game you need to prepare leaves in advance (you can take landscape ones). On each piece of paper you need to write 1-2 lines from some New Year's songs. There should be as many leaves as there are participants in this game.

The presenter lays out the leaves on the floor, lines down. When the game begins, the participants take pieces of paper and read the lines on them. This game is best played with participants who already know how to read. They need to find players with words from the same song. Those participants who find each other faster than others will win.

MIXED-UP SONG

The presenter begins to perform a song (preferably some well-known New Year's song). But the words from one song are sung to the tune of another song (For example: the words from the song “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest” are sung to the tune of the song “Little Christmas Tree”). The winner is the participant who guesses which song was used as the basis for the performance. The winner can become the host and mix up the next song themselves. It will be more incomprehensible if there are two presenters and they perform the proposed songs in a duet.
