Now let's have fun celebrating the New Year 2017! And immediately there was a competition about the symbol of the year - the cockerel.

Examples of tasks:

Everything is simple here - you need to prepare cards on which the tasks are written. You put all the cards in a bag and mix them. Guests take turns taking out cards and reading out the tasks they have to complete. The tasks are the most common ones you can think of.
Here are our options as an example:
Competition 4 – film competition!
Do you like watching movies? What about TV series? If yes, then victory in this competition is yours!
Playing this competition is simple: you watch a video where a freeze frame appears. And you just need to guess the movie or TV series. Just? Yes! But in reality it’s difficult - after all, the actors’ faces are hidden under the masks of roosters and hens! When all the guests have answered according to their answer options, a second freeze frame appears, where the actors are no longer wearing masks. And everyone immediately understands what kind of film this is.
The video for the competition is below.
Each participant in turn receives a card with a certain phrase, which will need to be depicted so that the others can guess what exactly the participant showed. Thus, the participant shows, the rest guess, then change to a new participant until everyone tries themselves in the role of an actor. Example phrases that cards may contain:
- poor student at the board;
- crying child who wants to eat;
- angry dog;
- Santa Claus brought gifts;
- dance of little ducklings;
- the street is slippery, and so on.
What is he like, this Santa Claus?
Elimination game. All participants stand in a circle. And, starting with any one (which will be considered the first after), the guys say one word of praise for Santa Claus. So, what is he like, our Santa Claus? Kind, magical, cheerful, beautiful, wise, sincere, generous, strong, good, bearded, mysterious, unusual and so on. Let the children show their imagination and tell everyone how they see the good wizard. And whoever doesn’t name is out. And the few guys who stay in the game until the end will receive the title of winner and prizes.
And New Year is not New Year
Children sit or stand in a circle. Santa Claus or the presenter announces that now is the time to remember all the necessary things and objects that are elements of the holiday. In a circle, each participant takes turns naming one object. For example, a clock, a TV, a Christmas tree, a garland, Santa Claus, snow, a gift, and so on. A participant who cannot name the object is eliminated. The one who has the last word wins.
Savvy answer
The presenter asks questions that relate to New Year's characters and school subjects at the same time, and the children answer and the smarter and more interesting the answer, the better. For example: how is the Snowman related to geometry? (it consists of balls). How is Santa Claus related to geography? (he flies all over the world and delivers gifts to children at every point, so he must know geography to a solid 5). How is the Snow Maiden connected to the Russian language? (she signs birthday cards for children and must do it correctly). The more interesting the participant answers such questions, the greater his chances of becoming a winner.
Secret for Santa Claus
The guys are divided into teams of about 10 people. Each team stands in a row, one after the other. The first participants receive a sheet - a letter, the information of which must be conveyed to Santa Claus, for example, on December 31 in the evening, hares and squirrels, deer and wolves, children and adults are waiting for you at the Christmas tree! At the “start” command, the first participants convey the information as they memorized to the second participant’s ear, trying to do it quickly and quietly so that the opponents do not hear, and so on along the chain. The team that is faster than the rest and, most importantly, correctly conveys the information to Santa Claus (that is, the last participant must say the original text of the letter) will win.
Happy New Year
The guys are divided into teams of 11 people, each participant is given a felt-tip pen or marker. For each team, easels with whatman paper are located at the same distance. Each participant must jump in a bag, like a wolf in the cartoon “Well, Wait a minute!” to the easel and write one letter at a time so that at the end you get the phrase “Happy New Year.” So, at the command “start”, the first participants jump in a bag to the easel and write the letter “C”, then jump back and pass the baton to the second participants, the second write the letter “N”, the third - “O” and so on. The team that finishes the relay faster and writes “Happy New Year” will win.
When it's cold outside
The guys are divided into teams of 5 people. Each participant must wear mittens. Each team receives identical puzzle sets (preferably with a New Year's theme) with a small number of parts. At the command “start”, the teams begin to put together the puzzle using mittens. The team that completes it faster will win and receive a prize.
Cap
Children stand in a circle and, to the music, they begin to pass the New Year's cap around in a circle. When the music stops, the participant who still has the cap in his hands puts it on his head and completes the task of Santa Claus. Usually, children prepare poems or songs for Grandfather in advance, so there are no overlaps here.
Remove all the needles from the tree
Two blindfolded participants stand in a circle of fans. 10 clothespins are attached to each participant's clothing. At the leader’s command, the guys must help each other get rid of the clothespins as quickly as possible. Everyone takes part in turn, with clothespins attached to different places each time.
New Year on one leg
All children stand at the Christmas tree and, at the command of the leader, take the “stand on one leg” pose. A funny New Year's song comes on and the guys start jumping - dancing on one leg without changing it. Whoever gives up is out, and whoever holds out until the end of the song wins.
New Year is always laughter and fun, children playing and a lot of positive things. But all this will happen only if you hold funny competitions on your New Year tree for the New Year 2017. A variety of competitions are suitable for children: moving ones, with music and with cards. We have wonderful competitions that you will love, and you will be able to organize an unforgettable holiday for your children.
Competition - shoot down the rooster!
Since 2017 will be the year of the cockerel, then let's play with it right away. For this you need drawings of roosters. The sizes of the drawings vary: from large to small. And you also need paper snowballs. Attach pictures of roosters to the wall, and place snowballs on the table. The children's task is to hit the roosters with snowballs. For example, you have 5 pictures, and then there will be 7-9 snowballs. Whichever child can hit all the cockerels wins a prize. But don't deprive others either. For example, for 4 hits we give a smaller prize, for 3 hits a symbolic prize. And for the rest who didn't make it, let's color them.
Competition - complete the drawing of the cockerel.
And again we play with the cockerel, only we need to draw it. This is not difficult to do, but we will draw the cockerel in a different way, and the children will like it.
The competition takes place in two stages. On the first one, children need to trace their palm on paper. Just place your palm, spread your fingers and trace. Like this:
And at the second stage we already draw a cockerel. And we do this with the help of a circled palm. That is. We need to finish drawing the rooster to the palms. Like this:
Afterwards, show all the drawings to the guests and give gifts to the children.
Competition - deception riddles!
And in the next competition, children need to be more careful. After all, they have to guess riddles that are deceptions! And sometimes it seems that the answer lies on the surface, and it rhymes. But in reality this is not the case, and the children will have to think about it.
Watch deception riddles and play with children:
Competition - who is louder?
The roosters crow loudly and beautifully. Some will say that they scream, but they sing. Let's try to sing like roosters. To do this, we leave children in teams. And each team takes turns shouting in unison, that is, singing: KU-KA-RE-KU!
We do this three times, then we give all the children gifts - juice boxes to moisten the neck.
Competition - cock dance!
And again the children play in teams. But adults should help them. The point of the competition is to come up with your own cock dance! Teams, together with adults, come up with movements for the dance and take turns showing it. It turns out a children's flash mob that both children and adults really like.
