"New Year's mosaic" - The game involves two teams of three people each.

Exercise. Each team is given an envelope in which a proverb or a saying on a winter theme is enclosed, and each word is written out on a separate piece of paper. It is necessary in a minute to compose scattered words into a proverb or saying: “Take care of your nose in a big frost”; "Winter and summer don't get along."

"Snowball Catcher" - a comic competition in throwing "snowballs" is arranged. Two players stand facing each other at a distance of about three meters. The player in front of whom lies a “pile of snowballs” (pre-made paper) throws at the second player, who has a small waste basket in his hands. With this basket, he must catch the snowball. The task of the second player is to catch as many snowballs as possible with his basket.

One snowflake, two snowflakes... - two or more people participate in the game. Task. Blindfolded for a certain time, collect as many "snowflakes" scattered by Santa Claus as possible.

"Christmas tree elegant ..." - Both girls and boys take part in the game. Girls are Christmas trees, which young men must dress up and embellish for the holiday in a certain time. In front of each of them is a box with various ladies' cosmetics, jewelry and accessories: beads, bows, clip-on earrings, lipstick, blush, eye shadow, hairpins, Christmas decorations and tinsel. The winner is the pair of players that aroused the greatest sympathy among the audience. Voting is "regulated" by friendly applause.

"Blind Game" - Two players are involved. In front of each of them is a large sheet of paper and a pencil. Condition of the game: blindfolded, draw, for example, a snowman. The winner is the one whose drawing will come out more successful and reliable. The winner receives a "sweet prize", in the form of a large candy with a surprise "filling". Rewarding the winner, Santa Claus imperceptibly pulls the string and the “candy” popper suddenly explodes in the hands of an unsuspecting player, showering him with colorful confetti.

Traditions of the New Year in different countries.

Let's start with Germany, from where the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree at the New Year's Eve spread throughout the world. By the way, this tradition appeared there in the distant times of the Middle Ages. The Germans believe that Santa Claus rides on a donkey, so children put hay in their shoes to treat him. And in Berlin, at the Brandenburg Gate, the most interesting thing happens: hundreds of thousands of people pronounce toasts to the reunification of East and West Germany - the holiday is celebrated there very emotionally.

And in Vietnam, the beliefs are even more interesting - the ancestors of modern Vietnamese believed that the New Year sails on the back of a carp, so today there is a tradition there to buy a live carp for the New Year and release it into a pond or river. And the main symbol of the holiday there are the branches of a blossoming peach, which are placed in the house and give each other.

Another common tradition today was given to the world by another European country - England. This is a gift to each other greeting cards. And among the unusual things associated with the New Year there, one can single out the same tradition of treating a donkey with hay that the Germans have, as well as the ritual of kissing lovers under a sprig of mistletoe for the strength of relationships. And you need to do this to the sound of bells ringing at 12 o'clock in honor of the New Year. It is unusual that these bells begin to ring even before 12 at night, but until the New Year comes they are wrapped in blankets so that they sound quiet, and when it comes, the blankets are removed and they begin to ring with all their might. And in the British Isles, people literally let out the Old and let in the New Year: to do this, they first open the back door of the house when the clock starts to strike 12, and then open the front door - so that the New Year enters the house.

But Sweden gave the world the first glass Christmas decorations (in the 19th century). There, on New Year's Eve, it is customary not to turn off the lights in the houses and brightly illuminate the streets - this real holiday Sveta.

Another Europeans, the French, celebrate the New Year very extravagantly. They bake a pie in which they put one bean, whoever gets this bean is declared the bean king and on a festive night everyone obeys his orders. Yes, many of us would like such a tradition, it is strange that so far it has not reached and taken root in Russia. And good French winemakers are simply obliged to drink for the future harvest with a barrel of wine: you need to clink glasses with it and congratulate it on the New Year!

In the United States, where in 1895. the world's first luminous electric garland was hung at the White House, and from where the tradition spread around the world to write "New Year's tasks" with promises and plans for the coming year, it is not customary to arrange solemn feasts, as well as give gifts, all this is arranged there only for Christmas , and they necessarily transplant Christmas trees into the ground, and do not throw them away, as we do.

But the Finns arrange solemn meals on Christmas and New Year. It was from Finland that the tradition of melting wax and lowering it into cold water, and then, based on the resulting figures, guess what awaits a person in the coming year.

Japan gave the world the tradition of celebrating the New Year in new clothes, building ice sculptures and castles. The most unusual tradition there is to buy a rake before the New Year, which "will help to bring more happiness."

An unusual and quite common New Year's tradition in many countries is making noise - the louder the better! Panamanians loudly shouting and knocking, ringing bells, including sirens and car horns so appease the New Year. Hungarians in the first second of the arrival of the New Year whistle loudly - drive away the bad and attract well-being. Iranians - shoot from guns.

Whatever the New Year's traditions, the most extravagant among them, nevertheless, can rightfully be considered those in which something is thrown out of the windows. So, in Cuba, at 12 o'clock, water is poured out of the windows, which is collected in advance in all the utensils in the house - in this way, Cubans wish the New Year a clean and bright path like water. Italians throw old things out of the windows so that new things take their place, and they do it with all their inherent passion, loudly and cheerfully. In some areas of Johannesburg (the capital of South Africa), refrigerators fly out of the windows, which makes the New Year in this country very dangerous, but in general it is customary to throw something old out of the windows, too, like in Italians. But in Nepal, old things are burned in large fires at sunrise.

The Bulgarians behave very unusually in the first 3 minutes of the New Year: they turn off the lights everywhere - these are the minutes of New Year's kisses, the secret of which is kept by darkness. Well, far behind in terms of extravagance new year traditions all left the Ecuadorians. The men there dress up women's clothing, put on wigs and make up to arrange a "widow's lament" for bad husbands and burn dolls.

But in general, all Ecuadorians believe: if you have time to put on yellow underwear during the strike of the clock, then money will fall like snow on your head, if red, then there will be happiness in your personal life, if you run around the house at the same time with a big bag or suitcase, you will be traveling all year round.

There are many more interesting New Year's traditions.

Question:“Have you ever wondered why a snowman, like a real man, has a bucket on his head, and not a hat?”

The answers might be: it can be assumed that such a headdress is very practical - it does not get wet, it does not fly off from the wind, it suits the snowman. Or maybe such family tradition, and the bucket is passed down from generation to generation. Of course, anything is possible!

But in reality it was...
Once, on New Year's Eve, the wife asked her husband to take out the garbage. Reluctantly, he looked up from the TV, which showed an old funny comedy, dressed and went out into the yard ... Two weeks passed. On the night of the old new year, the doorbell rang. The wife opened - on the threshold stood an unshaven, lost husband. He handed his wife an empty bucket. She appreciated the joke, took a bucket and with great pleasure put it on her beloved husband's head ... This is such an unusual story for the whole family.

Why is this happening? Another funny poem:

If at night your doors
The animals opened without a key
They began to eat salad with peas,
Brazenly demand potatoes
Loudly slurp and laugh,
Don't reflect in mirrors
And tap with a hoof,
And in the eyes slightly double, Look at the calendar:
It's not winter in the yard!
Don't delay, come on
Call urgently!

New Year's riddles for children

Children believe in miracles! Not only kids 3-4 years old and preschoolers, but also quite adult senior students. They believe in a fabulous grandfather who will certainly come and give a miracle. Just like that, he will open the bag and give away the most valuable thing he has for free (that is, for free)! Let the childish naive faith in a miracle stay longer! The New Year lives in our mysteries. Each of them is not only fun entertainment among friends, but also a good lesson.

Man has always been attracted by everything interesting, mysterious. In riddles, folk wisdom, the salt of the earth, is collected drop by drop. For many years she improved, honed rhymes, deepened the idea, polished like a diamond. How many mysteries are there? How many Christmas decorations Or how many stars are in the sky? There is an answer, but it is not given unambiguously. It's like printing the same picture and expecting a different result.

Try to compose yourself! At first short riddles. Look for answers in poetry or prose. Try writing simple childish or cool adult quiz writing. This is a great exercise for the mind.

1 round. Warm up.

The teams take turns asking questions. The time for discussion is 1 minute. If a team does not answer, the right to answer passes to the next team. The maximum score is 5.

Not a single New Year (Santa Claus) can do without it. Where do you think Santa Claus came from? Santa Claus was born from the imagination of the inhabitants of Europe more than 2 thousand years ago. On ritual nights, they threw cakes, pieces of meat over the threshold of their house, poured out wine, persuaded Santa Claus not to get angry, not to interfere with hunting, not to spoil crops. Santa Claus is, of course, a fairy tale. But it turns out that there is such a Santa Claus who does not take off his outfit all year round- all 12 months he serves and receives a salary for it. He lives in a small village where there are zoos, the Murrr-Murrr castle, and a puppet theater and a toy workshop, and a fairy tale room. The country where the real Santa Claus lives is called Finland. Guess who helps Santa Claus answer letters from children from all over the world, trade in a souvenir shop, ride guests on reindeer sleds, deliver gifts.

GNOMES

In Japan, the arrival of the New Year is announced by 108 strokes of the bell. In Japanese cities, ice palaces and castles are being built, snow sculptures are being erected. It is customary to decorate the doors of houses with tree branches. Plum means love of life, bamboo - fidelity. Guess which tree represents longevity?

PINE

H O R O V O D

– The custom of decorating Christmas trees has been preserved since ancient times. Now we decorate Christmas trees with garlands and toys. And once people believed that spirits were hiding in the branches of evergreen trees. Question: what did people hang on Christmas trees to appease the spirits?

SWEETS

- Name the obligatory attribute of New Year's Eve.

CANDLES

– It is customary to give gifts on New Year's Eve. The custom comes from ancient Rome. In Italy, for example, they are waiting for the good fairy Befana, who arrives on a magic broomstick at night, and, entering the room where children sleep, fills children's shoes with gifts. For those who studied poorly or were naughty, Befana leaves a pinch of ash or coal. It's a shame, but you deserve it! In Holland, they give toys, fruits, candy flowers. What is customary to give each other for the New Year in England? By the way, this type of congratulations is widespread in our country.
