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 Greeting Cards for children and must do it competently). 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 command “start”, the first participants convey the information as they memorized to the second participant in the ear, trying to do it quickly and not loudly, so that the opponents do not hear, and so on in 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 being 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.

If I say, “High,” you should raise your hands up, and if you hear, “Low,” you should sit down and lower your hands. If I mention wide Christmas trees, I need to make the circle wider. And if I say, “Thin,” you should make the circle narrower. Is everyone clear? One-two-three, let's start!

When choosing games for teenagers, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden must remember that teenagers do not agree to unequal relationships typical for childhood. The guys consider themselves quite adults, although, carried away by the game, they forget about it. They require benevolent and tactful support from adults, which helps to fulfill the desire for independence. Children of this age are in contact with both peers and adults; they try to prove themselves and receive high praise from adults. Girls and boys actively defend their views, especially with regard to hobbies, fashion, tastes, and leisure activities, so it is best to organize for them new Year's Eve in the cafe.
It is necessary to take into account that at this age much attention must be paid to the individual. Therefore, I recommend that Santa Claus and Snow Maiden select games where there is an opportunity to express themselves. You can hold a knight's tournament; at this age, boys want to please girls and assert themselves in their own eyes. They perceive positively and willingly play in the “Miss and Mister Party” competition, which has the nominations “Most Charming”, “Superman”, “MissSmile”, “Mr.Gallance”, “Miss Charm”, “Mr.Courage”, “Miss Charm”, “Gentleman” " and so on.
Well received Mind games, especially if there are tasks that require players to think outside the box and have a sense of humor. These could be questions with double meanings or a fun crossword puzzle. In a word, just continuous dancing can very soon tire you and get boring. It is necessary to warm up not only for the legs, but also for the mind.
"Skinny" company
The hoop should fit as many people as possible. It is only advisable that the guys do not get too carried away - the hoop is not rubber, after all.
Circle, square, triangle
Two teams of 12 people each participate, both freely dancing. On command in the dance, players quickly move into a circle, then into a square and into a triangle.
Dance Marathon
Fast pieces of music are played in a row (it is best to take the most popular ones). Participants in the game must dance non-stop. The most resilient one wins.
Familiar melodies
They invite one person from the team, and place signs with the names of famous performers (composers) in front of them. A fragment of a musical work is played, the players must raise a sign with the name of the performer (composer) or title. You can use works of a certain theme or a certain direction (classics, modern hits).
Cheat sheets
The game requires two or more participants. They are given a roll toilet paper. These are the cheat sheets. The participants’ task is to hide the paper in their pockets, behind the collar, in trousers, in socks, tearing it into small pieces. Whoever does this first is the winner.
Mummy
Toilet paper will make a magnificent “mummy”. Call two or more pairs of volunteers. One of the players in each pair is the “mummy”, and the second is the “mumiator”. The “mumiator” must wrap the “mummy” with “bandages” made of toilet paper as quickly as possible.
Proverbs
The presenter names proverbs of a particular country, the players indicate a Russian proverb that is similar in meaning. For example, an Arabic proverb says: “I ran from the rain, got caught in the downpour,” and a Russian one: “From the frying pan into the fire.”
1. Iranian: “Where there are no fruit trees, a beet will pass for an orange.”
Russian: “For lack of fish and cancer, fish.”

Russian: “There’s a black sheep in a family.”
5. Indonesian: “The squirrel jumps very briskly, and sometimes it breaks down.” ,
Russian: “A horse has four legs, and he stumbles.”
Blindfold game
10 people are participating: 5 girls and 5 boys. The rest form a large circle, holding hands. The players are blindfolded so that nothing is visible. At first, everyone moves chaotically inside the circle, trying not to push each other. Then, on command, the boys try to form their own circle, and the girls try to form theirs. Intuition is needed here, because you can’t talk. You are allowed to touch each other and determine by touch who is yours and who is someone else’s.
Change your hand
Players are invited to try to draw or color something, but only with their left hand, and those who are left-handed use their right hand.
Guess the condition
Two teams of 6 people are required. Each player of two teams is given a drawing in an envelope that depicts a face with an expression of anger, thoughtfulness, fear, joy, irony, sadness, fear, boredom, surprise, admiration. Alternately, the participants of the two teams read the quatrain:
Guests came to us
Dear ones have come,
It was not in vain that we set the table,
They treated us to pies,
And they read with the same expression as in the picture. The player comes forward and stands in front of the team so that everyone can see his drawing, but the guessing team does not. If the opposing team guesses correctly, it gets 1 point. Whose team scored more points won.
Dance with an orange
2 couples participate. Each pair is given an orange. As soon as the music starts, they must dance with the orange between their partner's cheeks. The winner is the couple who manages to hold the orange while dancing.

There are 12 people in the team. They stand in a row. The first player holds the orange under his chin. On command, players pass the orange to each other without using their hands. The team that doesn't drop the orange wins.
Strange dancing
Two people hold a thick cord 1.5 m long at a height as tall as a person. Those who want to play take turns walking under the cord, performing dance moves. Gradually the cord is lowered lower. The game continues until the most flexible player remains.
Name the fourth
Three words are named, and the fourth (of the same theme) is named by the participants in the game. This game can be played between players sitting at tables. The team that can name the most words wins. For example:

Very popular, very simple and at the same time hilarious funny game. Props: two bags. Two teams stand in front of the Christmas tree. The first player on the team is given a bag. Putting it on his feet and holding the edge of the bag on both sides with his hands, he jumps around the tree and returns to the team. He takes off the bag and passes it to the next player. The team whose last player gets to the team first wins.
Score a goal for Santa Claus
We designate the gates with two small Christmas trees. Santa Claus is a goalkeeper. Players take turns trying to score a goal. Whoever hits the goal moves on to the second round. In the second round, 2 attempts are given to score a goal. The players who scored 3 goals each advance to the third round. And so on until one player remains, the winner.
It is important not to prolong the game. If there are a lot of guests, limit the number of players.
Rooster fight
A game for real men. Two young men get into a gymnastic hoop. Take a cockfighting stance: hands behind your back, one leg bent at the knee. The task is to jump back, gaining momentum, and push your opponent into the chest or the opposite shoulder with your shoulder. And so on until one of the players pushes the opponent out of the circle.
