New Year's entertainment for an adult company. Cool New Year's games and contests
In this material, we present New Year's fun with which you can entertain your guests. In order for the participants to be enthusiastic about participating in games and competitions, let them first get used to it a little: chat, sit at festive table, drink up. And only then invite everyone to participate in the entertainment program of the evening.
"This item is needed to..."
The facilitator calls the participants any object (for example, a blanket, a pen, etc.), and they should take turns saying how the hidden thing can be used, starting the phrase with the words: “This item is needed to ...” The game becomes interesting, when all the obvious functions of a thing end and you have to invent them on the go. The one who could not come up with a use for the thing lost.
over bumps
This game is suitable for the moment when the feast is coming to an end and the guests want to warm up a bit. Two or three participants are given two sheets of paper. These are “hummocks”, and the floor in the room is a “quagmire”. It can only be crossed by stepping on each sheet in turn, and moving the other forward. Players must cross the "bumps" to the other side as quickly as possible without stepping on the floor.
Fanta
An old and familiar game that you can change a little. Participants can get puffballs out of the "hat" with funny tasks: depict an animal - a symbol of the coming year, sing new year song, loudly call the Snow Maiden, etc. This, so to speak, is the traditional approach to this game.
But you can slightly modify the meaning of "Phantoms". Write on the pieces of paper various states of a person, but try to pick up only original and funny ones. For example, “puppy delight”, “stormy raskolbas”, “languid thoughtfulness”, etc. The player who pulled out the phantom must depict what was written without words, and the rest of the participants must guess what he is showing.
color kaleidoscope
This game is mobile and can be played by at least 5 people. Children love this kind of entertainment. After the facilitator calls out the colors (for example, yellow, then red, etc.), the players must grab some object of the named color. The host at this time counts to three. Who does not have time - leaves. The pace of the game can be increased, and its complexity increases.
blind artist
The players are divided into pairs in random order, one of the two partners is blindfolded and given a pen, pencil or felt-tip pen. "Blind artists" should hold their drawing device in an outstretched hand. The second participants are given sheets of paper, the topic of the future creation is reported. It can be from the simplest (draw geometric figure) to quite complex (to create a New Year's landscape). Then the "sighted" partners return to their pairs and begin to draw, moving the sheet around the writing object held in the hand of the second participant. At the same time, the “blind artists” themselves should not move their hand. After the end of the competition, their eyes are untied, and the winners are determined by the best and most accurately reflecting reality drawing.
football players
The host announces to the guests that a competition for the best football player will be held, and everyone can participate in it. Then the players are given air balloons. The task is to prevent the “ball” from falling to the floor for a certain amount of time (for example, 3 minutes). Someone will "mint" the ball with his head, and the most ingenious will simply blow on it from below, thus supporting it in the air. If it is not possible to identify a clear winner, then the game can be complicated: give the “football players” one more “ball”. The winner is the one whose balls do not fall on the floor.
Oh those fairy tales! Oh those storytellers!
This competition develops oratory skills and Creative skills participants. Names should be written on the cards. different fairy tales(for example, you can take "Kolobok", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Sleeping Beauty", etc.). Each player pulls out one piece of paper and remembers the plot of the fairy tale he got. Then the participants should tell what they remembered to the audience, but at the same time they should adhere to a certain genre (which can also be written on a card). For example, "Little Red Riding Hood" will sound differently in the detective genre, "Sleeping Beauty" or "Snow White" - in the melodrama genre. The most inventive storyteller wins.
Fair-selling men
To conduct this competition, at least three men will be required, for each of them “sellers” are selected: one or more women. As props, you need to provide participants with bright scarves, pieces of fabric, various decorations, cosmetics. The first task of the girls is to dress up their "product" as best and original as possible. You can create some recognizable image: for example, Casanova. This task will take no more than 3-5 minutes to complete. Then the "sellers" must advertise the "product" to potential buyers, they may even hold an impromptu auction. The team that does the best job wins a prize.
Too touchy and impressionable in this game is better not to participate - it's a shame when they don't share with you! Participants stand in a tight circle facing each other, while their hands should be behind their backs. The leader becomes the center. The players begin to imperceptibly pass an apple from hand to hand (with other culinary preferences, it is possible to replace an apple with a banana, cucumber, a piece of sausage, in the end). A person who has fallen into the center of the circle must guess who has the fruit in this moment. The difficulty is that you also need to bite off a piece of an apple - naturally, when the driver does not see. If the lucky owner of the fruit is "caught red-handed", then it is his turn to stand in the center of the circle. And so it continues until the main subject of the game is eaten entirely.
"Show Elephant"
Very funny, but quite a tough prank. The host starts a well-known game: you need to guess the animal, depict it without words, and all those gathered must understand who the participant is portraying. The facilitator leads the unsuspecting victim out the door and explains that an elephant (or any other animal that is easy enough to depict) will need to be shown. At the same time, you need to have time to inform the rest that the player will portray such and such an animal, and their task is in no case to name, “not to guess”, offering any other versions. Then, for some time, you can enjoy the sight of a surprised participant who cannot understand in any way whether he himself depicts an elephant poorly, or whether no one has ever seen this animal. The main thing is not to torment the victim for too long.
Two halves
The players are divided into pairs. The host announces the simplest, at first glance, task: cut a snowflake out of paper. Participants are given scissors and paper. If you are afraid that guests will cut themselves with scissors, then distribute bundles, wrapping paper and a bow. In this case, you will need to wrap the "gift". Then the partners should hug each other, hug, leaving only one arm free. Thus, the "halves" interlock into one two-armed whole. And now they must complete the task. Those who do their job faster and better than everyone else win.
New Year's Dictionary
It is necessary to prepare in advance cards with all the letters of the alphabet, except for Ъ, b, b, s, th opaque container. The host announces the preparation for printing of the Special Holiday Dictionary. Each participant in turn takes out one card and immediately calls the word. New Year theme, starting with the extracted letter. It is also desirable, together with all the players, to come up with a funny interpretation of this word. All concepts are written down so that later it would be possible to create a Dictionary in memory of the celebration.
New Year's songs
The host puts the words related to the holiday written on separate pieces of paper into an opaque bag or into a hat: “herringbone”, “icicle”, “snowman”, “hoarfrost”, “frost”, “snow”, “dance”, “gift” and etc. Participants take turns pulling out cards, and then trying to remember and sing lines from a song with a given word, receiving points for this. The winner is the one who scores the most points, i.e., remembers more songs.
snow shooting range
In advance, you need to prepare as many "snowballs" as possible - balls rolled from paper, cotton wool or, better, made from papier-mâché. You can use ping pong balls as snowballs. Participants are divided into two or more teams. Several people (one from each group) stand on chairs - now they are "targets". Opponents are trying to hit the target with "snowballs". At the same time, players on chairs can move, in every possible way dodge "enemy projectiles". The most accurate team wins.
In winter conditions
As you know, in order not to freeze in winter, you need to dress warmly. Invite your guests to check if they have a chance to survive the harsh winter frosts. Participants wear issued warm mittens and bathrobes. Their task is to fasten all the buttons as quickly as possible. The one who completes the task the fastest is the winner. The rest must be saved from the cold in another way - pour a glass of something intoxicating.
Leap into the future
Draw a “scale” in advance: you need to turn a long strip of paper (you can use wallpaper or toilet paper) into a kind of large “ruler”, that is, mark it in centimeters.
Now connect your imagination and write some New Year's wish or prediction near each mark.
It will be great if you write something humorous.
Participants will have to jump from a place in the long jump, see how much they jumped, and find out what awaits them next year.
Understand me
This game is similar in essence to the television show that was on our screens a few years ago. The participants are divided into two teams (at least 4-5 people in each). Teams line up in two rows. The facilitator passes to the first participants the cards on which the phrases are written, preferably more intricately. It is necessary to quietly and quickly transfer the contents of the card to the next player's ear. He tells the next one, and so on. The last participant must say out loud what he heard. The team that completes the task the fastest and, of course, does not lose the meaning of the phrase during the transfer wins.
Sensation
The host will need to prepare for this game in advance. It is necessary to cut out various phrases from newspapers, preferably funny or ambiguous, and stick them on cards. Then these cards are distributed to the guests, and they will need to make a coherent story out of them.
It will be fun, especially if the prepared passages concern politics, show business, and many other areas of life; You can even take the endings of jokes.
And the further development of the game will depend entirely on the imagination of the participants.
Who said "woof"?
All participants stand in a circle, in the middle stands the blindfolded driver. At the command of the "blind" the round dance begins to move in a circle, at the other command it freezes. The participant standing in the center must point blindly at any other player, who barks once. After that, the driver must guess who he pointed to. If he is right, then the "barking" takes his place, and the game continues. The task may be too difficult, because short word difficult to identify the speaker. Then "Wow!" can be replaced with the phrase "Happy New Year!".
Now prove it!
The facilitator writes down the intended word on a piece of paper in advance (for example, “Santa Claus”, “Christmas tree” or something else on the New Year theme). All those gathered must, without knowing what was hidden, say what this object looks like. Then the host announces the word, and now each participant must prove that the hidden thing really resembles what he compared it with. For example, "Santa Claus is like a sofa because he is just as big and soft."
The most fabulous holiday of the year is just around the corner, which means it's time to think about entertainment: games and competitions for children and adults. Perhaps the new year is the most family celebration when all family members get together to share the joys of the outgoing year, remember what good happened to them and dream about what will happen in the coming year.

1. New Year's game "Santa Claus is coming .."
This entertainment can be held immediately before the appearance of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden and involve all the guests in it, for example, during a dance break. The host invites the guests to stand so as not to interfere with each other and call Santa Claus in an unusual way: not with a cry, but with an unusual New Year's dance. The meaning of the game is as follows: you need to replace the words of the New Year's verse with sign language.
Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,
Santa Claus is coming to us!
And we know that Santa Claus
Brings gifts to us! Hooray!
All words are replaced by gestures: “goes” - walking on the spot, “Santa Claus” - we put a hand with spread fingers on the chin (depicting a beard), the combination “to us” - a gesture pointing at ourselves. To show the word “we know” - we put a finger to our forehead, the word “we” is a gesture indicating all the guests, the word “carries” is like a bag over our shoulders, and with the word “gifts” - everyone depicts what he dreams of. "Hooray!" - all stomp and clap
For greater interest, it is better to change words into gestures gradually: first one word, then two, until the last word disappears, and only gestures remain with cheerful musical accompaniment.
And when they start clapping (meaning “cheers”), Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden appear, who distribute gifts to the “artists” (if they are provided) or begin their program.
2. New Year's competition "Race for luck"
The role of "luck" in this competition will be played by durable, unbreakable Christmas decorations, such as large and colorful balls. Another piece of equipment you will need is children's plastic mini-hockey sticks (or Chinese hand-back combs), one for each player (3-4 people are enough).
At the start, the participants are tied children's clubs (go spinochets) to their belts, and the finish line is marked with chairs for everyone. The chairs will also serve as a gate into which players must drive their “ball of luck”. This can only be done with clubs, in no case helping hands.
Naturally, the winner is the one who scores a goal faster - “drives luck” into his own net. He is given a good luck talisman ( Christmas decorations), he is declared "the lucky one of the year" - everyone else, including those sitting in the hall, is invited to urgently touch the one who has just caught luck, so that they are also lucky.
3. "Be my tree!"
First, the participants of this competition cut out from colored cardboard Christmas tree toy. Then, with the help of the received clothespin or paper clip, they should hang the “created miracle” on the Christmas tree, but ... blindfolded. The most insidious thing about the rules of this game is that the participants, having “deprived” their sight, are spun around their axis and then offered to walk to the Christmas tree. At the same time, the first thing that he will run into will become a Christmas tree for everyone - he must hang his toy there.
Usually, rarely anyone gets to a real Christmas tree, so the main prize is given to the one who stumbles upon the most and even can hang his work on it.
4. Competition at the New Year's holiday "The most resourceful Snow Maiden".
To participate in this competitive game, we form five pairs (boy-girl). Girls are blindfolded, and about ten Christmas decorations are hidden in men's clothes. Jewelry can be hidden in pockets, socks, in the bosom, hung on a tie, attached to a lapel and so on. The main thing is to try not to use anything beating, stabbing or cutting in this game.
The task of the girls - "Snow Maiden" is to find everything hidden on the body of their partner. Naturally, the girl who finds the most toys in the allotted time period wins and receives the title of “The Most Resourceful Snow Maiden”.
5. New Year's greetings for the boss.
This is a party contest. The host will need to call five to seven people, preferably both men and women. The host asks such an innocent question: with which of the animals, birds or flowers (if the boss is a lady), each of you associates your boss.
Then everyone comes out, names his association and depicts it, freeze on command - it becomes a sculpture, the next one comes out - everything repeats - the whole picture is obtained. Depending on the content of this picture, the toastmaster announces that the employees decided not to waste time on trifles and give the boss an instant painting by Repin “They didn’t expect it” or a painting by an unknown author “The morning after the corporate party”.
Perhaps it will be more fun if you limit the associations only to the animal world and then present it as a painting by an unknown author “Animals at a Banquet”.
Everyone gets a chance to join the art and have fun, and the "native" bosses will melt from the sign of attention given to him personally.
6. "Naughty" signs.
At the beginning of the draw, six players are shown six plates, which depict a green Christmas tree, a bottle of champagne, a roll of toilet paper, a chair, packaging New Year's napkins and a beautiful box with a bow - a gift. Then the players sit down with their backs to the audience, and it is announced to them that one of the tablets shown is attached to their chairs in random order, they randomly make an assumption which one and, in accordance with their assumption, answer the questions:
- What do you think happens to you when you are first brought into the house?
- What do you think the guests do when they pick you up?
- How often does the owner use you?
- Where do you go after use?
- What can you replace if you really need?
- What material do you think they are made of?
There are no losers or winners in this prank game, but everyone deserves an applause.
7. Game moment "Road to the New Year"
(Thanks to the author - Adekova T.I.)
The text is read by the moderator. Guests line up in a line, stepping at the appropriate moment.
Leading. The road to the New Year awaits you,
And that on it the whole year will pass,
Who will take what they need.
In the New Year we go in a crowd ...
Did you take everything with you?
If health is taken
Take a big step forward!
Do we take the mood?
Let's walk together with you!
We take problems ... Well, alas ...
You must not move forward!
Who decides to take
You will have to give back!
We'll grab the money, because they
Our lives should be influenced.
And how many pockets do you count
So many steps and walk!
Who lagged behind? Friends will help you
Have...another pocket.
Lagging behind pin an additional pocket.
Hope, too, must be taken,
It's more fun to walk with her!
Do we take love? By itself!
We can't live with you without her.
How many grandchildren do you have, children?
According to their number, you take steps quickly.
Who will take friendship along the way?
He takes a bold step forward.
And who decided to take the blues?
I ask you to step back!
And happiness will not hurt us.
Let it accompany everyone
And it will enter every house ...
Let's take a step forward!
Now turn to each other
And hug tightly!
You celebrate the New Year together
And walk along his path
Forward! Against adversity!
Happy New Year everyone!
The host hands the first in line a bottle of champagne.
Grab a bottle of champagne
Treat each other with champagne now.
May your journey be easy!
And again I wish you all a Happy New Year!
8. "Revived" chairs.
In this game, Santa Claus himself "leads". He recruits participants, there must be at least ten people, and seats them on chairs. Chairs are arranged in a checkerboard pattern with seats facing each other. First, they put the number of chairs, how many participants are involved in the game. The players sit down, and Santa Claus begins to walk around to the New Year's song, and the one next to whom he hits the floor with his staff gets up from his seat and begins to follow Frost, as if tied.
Thus, Santa Claus lifts all participants in the process from their chairs and begins to write out different pretzels around the hall. Everyone who follows him on his heels must clearly follow all his "zigzags". From the side, it turns out to be a rather interesting sight, because this whole procession, following Grandfather, then crouches, then waves its arms and performs other actions.
However, you need to immediately warn the players that when Santa Claus hits the floor with his staff twice, you need to run headlong to the chairs and take your place. In fact, while all this "caterpillar" headed by Grandfather "walks", one chair is removed, so that upon returning one of the players will not find a place for himself.
After this trick, the game is repeated again, only for the second time two chairs disappear - then the game goes on until the last "survivor" (his prize).
9. New Year's "Crocodile"
Even such a well-known game as "Crocodile" at the New Year's holiday can be presented in a new way. For example, the theme of guessable pantomimes is to make comic stories from life and "working days" ... Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden.
To do this, the presenter prepares in advance a lot of paper cards with approximately the following content about Santa Claus: “Santa Claus fell asleep after children's matinee in a gift bag”, “Santa Claus grabbed a surplus and woke up in bed with a Snow Woman”, “Children stole Santa Claus’s beard”, “Santa Claus received a telegram asking the Moscow Zoo to give him a deer”, “Santa Claus overeat ice cream”, “Father Frost gave the Snow Maiden underwear”.
Something like this about the Snow Maiden: “The Snow Maiden will cheat on Santa Claus with the Snowman”, “The Snow Maiden worked on a matinee in a sex shop”, “The Snow Maiden gave birth to twins to Santa Claus”, “The Snow Maiden found Santa Claus in bed with Snow Queen”, “The Snow Maiden was paid $ 1,000 for a striptease”, “After the holidays, the Snow Maiden recovered by 6 kg”, etc.
Choose tasks for a specific company, of course, they should be different for adult party and for family holidays.
The rules can be slightly changed, for example, divide the participants into two teams, each draws a card for himself. Then, in turn, using only facial expressions and gestures, they depict what is written in the style of pantomime, and the opposing team guesses. Time can be limited, and at the end of the game you can calculate which team had more guesses, or you can not do this at all, because the main thing is the general fun.
10. "Who is this?".
In preparation for the most important winter holiday we are all looking for recipes, outfits and gifts. How about inventing new year entertainment, contests and games for adults that will enliven any company and make the holiday unforgettable?
Adults are the same children, only a little matured. And often we are not at all averse to having fun from the heart, playing fun games. And the New Year is a great occasion for fun: there is a feast, and there is enthusiasm, and there is a desire. So why not remember your childhood, especially since most games do not require special preparation. But such a holiday will be remembered for a long time!
New Year's entertainment for adults
New Year's drawing
Several people can participate in this New Year's competition. Contestants are invited to draw an animal - a symbol of the coming year. Think it's easy? No matter how! The main condition of the competition: you need to do it with your eyes closed. You can draw on paper with markers or on magnetic boards with crayons. Tips from guests such as “to the left”, “to the right” are also allowed.
Find a couple
For this entertainment, you will need paired puzzles or pictures, for example: part and whole, animals and their dwellings, animals and their cubs. The cards are distributed to the players. They don't show them to each other. At the expense of 1, the players turn over the cards, and while the host counts to 5, they look for their soul mate in the pictures. The pair that was found last is eliminated. And so on in a circle until there is only one pair of winners.
Question-answer
You need to make two boxes. Put notes with questions in one, with answers in the other.
Sample questions:
Have you ever taken other people's things?
- Do you like me?
- You love cats?
Sample answers:
- When the wife forces.
- Only sometimes.
- If you cook deliciously, etc.
The boxes are passed around. The first person draws the question, the second answers it. Very funny combinations often come across. Guests will laugh heartily during this interesting entertainment for the New Year. You can come up with questions and answers yourself or peep on the Internet.
Yes,No,Don't know
The host thinks of a word without naming it. It would be nice if it had a winter theme. The rest have to guess. Players ask leading questions to which the facilitator can only answer “yes” or “no”, for example: “Is this item large?”, “Is this item worn?”, “Is it portable?”, “Is it dangerous?” etc. If the question is too suggestive, like "Does he bark?", then the facilitator replies, "I don't know." When the interrogation is over, he asks: "Who is ready to give an answer?"
Note: the number of questions can be limited to 7-10.
New Year's songs
The principle of the next entertainment is known to everyone: the participants are divided into two teams and take turns recalling songs on the theme of the New Year and winter. In order for the song to count, you need to sing at least four lines. The winning team is the one that remembers the most songs.
Crocodile
Cut out cards from cardboard rectangular shape. On each write a word denoting some object, animal or feeling. Shuffle and distribute to players. Each in turn, by movement and facial expressions, must depict what is written on his card, without uttering a sound. The rest guess.
Hello Dedushka Moroz
We compose a poem. The beginning is the same for everyone: "Hello, Santa Claus ...". The continuation of the guests come up with themselves. In advance, you need to prepare pencils and sheets. The funnier and longer the poem is, the better.
Forest Fairy
Girls dress boys up as forest fairies. Tinsel and any jewelry are used: beads, clip-on earrings, bracelets, hairpins. You can use clothes, accessories and even cosmetics if the male gender does not mind. Then the guys, transformed into "beautiful fairies", dance around the Christmas tree. The most charming dancer wins.
Treasure
The goal of this fun Christmas game for adults is to find the "treasure" using clues. Notes are hidden throughout the apartment, on which are written places with the next clue. But the place is not written directly, but encrypted, for example, “it is very cold there, and sometimes you can find a hanging mouse there” (answer: refrigerator). Thus, along the chain, moving from one note to another, the company finds a treasure. Where the first note is located, the presenter narrates orally. The more hints, the more interesting the game.
Complication: On each note, a letter is barely noticeable with a pencil. The last clue says that the treasure can only be obtained by collecting all the notes and putting together a word from the letters written in pencil.
Note: Players are not told in advance that the notes will need to be collected. In the course of the search for each subsequent clue, the read notes are lost, thrust into pockets, hoods. It's quite funny to watch the players try to remember where they put them. The search for lost papers begins.
Mummy

Note: The lids must be the same size. A sample is given in advance, according to which it will be clear on what principle to build a pyramid.
Fishing
Material: multi-colored cardboard, paper clips, knitting threads, pencils or sticks (you can use plastic for balloons).
Fish are cut out of cardboard and small holes are made at the base of their mouths. From paper clips you need to make large rings and attach them to the fish. Further, hooks are made from other paper clips. As fishing rods, you can take pencils or ballpoint pens according to the number of players. At one end, the thread is tied to the “fishing rod”, and a hook is attached to the other end.
The fish are laid out on a blue cardboard - "lake". On command, the contestants try to pick them up with a fishing rod by the rings. Whoever catches the most will win the competition. On New Year's Eve, instead of fish, you can also "catch", for example, snowflakes or Christmas trees made of paper.
