Soon - soon the New Year! This is a wonderful holiday! Even before its onset, the streets of cities are transformed, dressed in bright garlands; New Year's expositions flaunt in shop windows, and large decorated Christmas trees grow in parks and squares. Even the most serious adults are in a good mood. And what can we say about babies! They are looking forward to New Year's miracles and gifts that Father Frost and his granddaughter Snegurochka bring with them. You can invite fairy-tale characters to your home and have fun at home. Most kids will meet Santa Claus at a matinee in kindergarten. What games will be the brightest part of the holiday? Let's try to find the most funny Games that will appeal to the main characters of New Year's parties - children! If you doubt whether the game will be to the hearts of the guys, you can test them on a walk, before the matinee.
Games for the middle group

1. Game with snowflakes or snowballs. She is very simple. Participants - 5-6 people. Snowballs made of cotton wool or cardboard snowflakes are scattered on the floor. Children are given baskets and play cheerful New Year's music. While the music is playing, the guys collect snowballs in baskets. When the music stops, the harvest ends. By counting the number of collected snowballs, they will know the winner. You can play this game 2-3 times so that all the children can play.

2. "I'll freeze - I'll freeze!" Of particular delight are games with the participation of your beloved Santa Claus. Children stand in a circle and stretch their arms forward. Music is playing. Santa Claus quickly walks along the circle and tries to touch the child's hand. Children try to quickly remove their hand in time.

3. "Make a snowman." Parents can be invited to this game. Two teams are selected. Each team consists of 5-6 children and 1 adult. On the chair are the components of the snowman - three "snow" balls of drawing paper, a scarf, mittens, a bucket, a carrot, "eyes" and a "mouth". On a signal, it is necessary to assemble the snowman on a pre-prepared rack. The team that does it faster wins.

Games for the senior group

1. "Magic Gauntlet". Children stand in a circle and pass Santa Claus's mitten to each other. At this time, cheerful music is playing. Then the music stops, and the child, in whose hands the magic mitten was at that moment, must say what our Christmas tree is (beautiful, tall, smart, fluffy, shiny, etc.). The task may be different - to perform a couplet from your favorite New Year's song, to depict a New Year's or winter figure, etc.

2. "Magic bag of Santa Claus." Santa Claus calls one child and offers to feel blindfolded to understand what lies in his magic bag. For this purpose, it is better to choose a small bag that is convenient for children's hands. The child chooses one toy, takes it out, feels it and guesses what it is.

3. You can play a complicated version of the game with snowballs and snowflakes. Only now the boys collect snowballs, and the girls collect snowflakes.

4. "Catch the icicle." For this game, it is necessary to prepare a rope or a dense thread (but only one that is safe for children to hold in their hands) about 70–80 cm long. Tie an “icicle” in the middle. An icicle can be made from a simple pencil and tinsel, you can cut it out of cardboard and decorate it. To the ends of the rope, empty babinki from under the threads or just small cardboard cylinders are tied. The game is played by 2 people. In the hand, each is given the end of the rope with a babinka. At the signal of the leader, the players begin to wind the rope each on their own reel. Whoever gets to the "icicle" faster, he won.

Games for the preparatory group

1. "Help the Snowman." For this game, you need to draw a snowman on a drawing paper in advance, but without a nose. The children are told that the Snowman was in such a hurry to New Year's celebration who lost his carrot nose. The guys are invited to help the Snowman and attach the nose in place. But you only need to do it with eyes closed. The winner is the one who does it faster and more accurately.

2. "New Year's auction". Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden invite the children to name all the toys that hang on the Christmas tree. The one with the last word wins. For example, the word “cracker” was called the last. Then the host says, “Clapperboard - one, cracker - two, cracker - three! Stop game!

3. “Birds and a snowstorm” The host says: “Winter is a harsh time for birds. Sometimes a blizzard will fly in, swirling, and the birds are looking for shelter. Let's try to make a house for each bird! 4 pairs of players and 5 participants without a pair are called. The members of each pair hold hands. They represent a house. The rest of the participants run around them, waving their arms like wings. When the music stops and the presenter says “A snowstorm has come!”, The “birds” should take the “house” (that is, stand in the center of the couple). The one who did not have enough "house" is out of the game.

4. "Winter figure" The game is played in the manner of "The sea is worried once ...", only it is necessary to depict not a sea figure, but a winter one. You can say at the same time “The blizzard will spin once, the blizzard will spin twice, the blizzard will spin three, the winter figure freeze in place!”

Merry holidays to you!

Games and contests with Santa Claus and Snow Maiden

round dances

The traditional New Year's round dance can be complicated, made more entertaining. The leader sets the tone for the round dance, changes the pace of movement, direction. After one or two circles, a round dance can be led by a snake, maneuvering between guests and furniture. The steeper the loops of the snake, the more fun. The leader along the way can come up with various options: include in the chain those who are not participating in the round dance, slow down sharply, etc.

Decorate the Christmas tree

There are two artificial Christmas trees in the hall. - There are only a few minutes left before the New Year, - says the Snow Maiden, - and these Christmas trees have not yet been decorated. Perhaps there are two dexterous people in the hall who will quickly do this. Cardboard toys, papier-mache and other unbreakable toys are laid out on tables 5-6 steps from the Christmas tree. But to complete the task of the Snow Maiden is not so easy.

The Snow Maiden reports that a short circuit has occurred, and the Christmas trees will have to be decorated in the dark (blindfolded). Perhaps someone will hang their toys on a neighbor's tree, but the one whose tree is more elegant will win.

circle toy

Santa Claus invites the participants to stand facing each other. Music begins to play, and a toy, for example, a doll with the image of the Snow Maiden, passing from hand to hand, moves in a circle. The music stops, the transfer of the toy stops. Whoever has the doll left is out of the game. The game continues until one person remains. If there are a lot of players, you can put several dolls in a circle.

Compliments to the Snow Maiden

Santa Claus summons a young man who wants to play, who should say compliments to the Snow Maiden, taking out matches from an apple completely studded with matches. His Santa Claus gives the player before the start of the competition.

Snowballs

In a suspended (or standing on the floor) basket, you need to throw it from a distance of 6-7 steps 6 " snowballs» - white tennis balls. The one who will cope with this task most accurately will win.

Snowflakes

The Snow Maiden invites several guests to take light cotton snowflakes from the tray. Each player tosses his snowflake and, blowing on it, tries to keep it in the air as long as possible. The one who dropped his fluff can approach a friend and help him complete the task of the Snow Maiden.

magic words

The game is led by the Snow Maiden, she invites two teams of 10 people each, gives them a set of large letters that make up the word "Snow Maiden", Each participant receives one letter. The task is as follows: in the story read by the Snow Maiden, there will be words made up of these letters. As soon as such a word is uttered, the owners of the letters that make it up must come forward and, rebuilding, form this word. The team ahead of the opponents gets a point.

sample story

There was a fast river. Snow fell on the fields. The mountain behind the village became white. And the bark on the birches sparkled with hoarfrost. Somewhere the sleigh runners creak. Where are they heading?

Centipede racing

In a fairly spacious room, you can hold centipede races. The players are divided into two teams and line up in the back of each other's head, taking in front hands standing for the belt. A chair is placed at the opposite wall, which the chain of players must go around, and then return back. If the chain is broken, the leader can count the team as a loser. The task can be complicated and made more ridiculous if the teams move half-crouched, if both teams perform the task at the same time.

A variant of this game is "Snake". The "head" - the first in the column - must catch the "tail" that eludes it. Having caught it, the "head" goes to the end of the column, the game is repeated again. The “torn off” chain links are considered losers and are out of the game.

Two Frosts

A group of guys is located at one end of the hall (room) beyond the conditional line. Drivers - Frosts - are in the middle of the hall. They turn to the guys with the words:

We are two young brothers, (Together): Two frosts are remote.

I am Frost-Red Nose.

I am Blue Nose Frost.

Which one of you decides

To go on a path?

Everyone answers:

We are not afraid of threats, and we are not afraid of frost! The players run to the other side of the hall behind the "home" line. Both Frosts catch and "freeze" those who run across. Those immediately stop at the place where they were “frozen”. Then the Frosts again turn to the players, and they, having answered, run across the hall, helping out the “frozen” ones: they touch them with their hands, and they join the rest.

Auction Santa Claus says:

There is a wonderful tree in our hall. And what toys on it! What do you know about Christmas decorations? This magnificent prize will be given to the person with the last answer.

Players take turns saying words. During pauses, the host begins to slowly count: “Clapperboard - one, cracker - two ...” The auction continues.

Prank game

Santa Claus announces to the audience that none of those present will be able to repeat after him the three short phrases that he will say. Of course, no one will agree with him. Then Santa Claus, as if looking for words, utters a short phrase. For example: "Today is a wonderful evening." Everyone confidently repeats this phrase. Santa Claus, embarrassed, looks for and uncertainly says the second phrase. It is also easily repeated by everyone. Then he quickly and joyfully says: “So you made a mistake!” The crowd is protesting. And Santa Claus explains that his third phrase, which had to be repeated, was: “So you made a mistake!”

Two are better than one

Any three toys are placed on the floor: a ball, a cube, a skittle. Two players come out and start dancing around them (the game can be played to music). As soon as the music stops or Santa Claus gives the command "Stop!", each player should try to grab two toys. Whoever gets one loses. The game can be complicated: increase the number of participants and, accordingly, the number of toys or objects. Whoever grabs the most toys wins.

Under a lucky star

The winner of this game will be the one who first finds a star hanging from the ceiling with a number announced by the host. Stars with a large number written on both sides are pre-hung on threads from the ceiling of the room (or hall) where the dances will take place. As the dance progresses, the music stops for a minute, and Santa Claus proclaims: “Lucky Star - 15!” The dancers try to quickly find a star with this number. The winner is awarded a prize.

Watch your back

Santa Claus or the Snow Maiden gives various commands to those standing in a circle, and they must be carried out only if the word “please” is added to the command, for example, “Please put your hands up”, “Lower your right hand!”, “Please clap your hands” and etc. The game is fun, at a fast pace. Those who make a mistake are out of the game. The remaining one is awarded the title of “Most Attentive Guest” and a prize is awarded.
