New Year is just around the corner, and the time for widespread corporate events is approaching. And at home, many groups of friends will certainly want to diversify their vacation with games. And now is the time to choose contests for the New Year 2020.
Remember: what is ideal for a small group of vacationers is not at all suitable for a large corporate party. And at home you can afford more than in the same restaurant.
In small companies, it is worth giving preference to those contests for the New Year, which involve the inclusion of everyone present, so that no one gets bored. And it is not so difficult to take 5-7 people in one competition.
Take care of the prizes in advance. Even an adult wants to get some material proof of his victory. Let it be the most ordinary sweets, tangerines or simple souvenirs with the symbol of the year. At the end of the evening, participants can count who collected the most prizes. It's a lot of fun too.
New year melody
For this competition, you will need several identical bottles, into which water is poured to different levels. It turns out to be a kind of musical instrument. Bottles are put on the table, and guests are invited to play any New Year's melody on these bottles using an ordinary spoon. The winner is the one who is reputed to have produced the most similar melody.
Beard joke
Each person in the company in turn begins to tell some kind of anecdote. If one of the others says that he knows this anecdote and really continues it, then the narrator is put on a wadded beard. In the end, the winner is the one with the shortest beard. And the most "bearded" one can be appointed as Santa Claus.
Find a Christmas tree
Another very funny competition for the new year. To do this, you will need to purchase a car fragrance in the form of a Christmas tree in advance. They usually have a very strong, specific odor. It is hidden somewhere in the room, and guests must find the item by smell.
Hold the snowflake
In this competition, some cotton wool is required again. You need to make some semblance of a small and light snowflakes... It should be possible to hold it suspended in air. The snowflake is thrown, and the participants must blow on it from below, not letting it fall. The winner, of course, is the one whose snowflake later falls to the floor.
New Year's gift
This competition can be attended by 3 people at the same time. The gender of the participants does not matter. One of the three is placed in the center of the room. It will be a New Year's gift. The other two are bred on opposite sides of the "present" and blindfolded. One is given ribbons in his hands, he must touch the bows on the gift. The second should also untie them by touch.
Brook
This competition is designed for a rather warm company. A long paper sheet is laid on the floor, but not too wide. A roll of standard wallpaper is ideal. Further, women are offered to overcome the "stream" without getting their feet wet, that is, to walk along its two banks with their legs wide apart. The first time women try to do it with their eyes open, the second time - with their eyes closed.
And when the first of them overcomes the "trickle", the rest should be outside the room. When the woman finishes the test, but has not yet untied her eyes, one of the men present falls on the "trickle".
The woman's eyes are untied. She sees a man and is naturally embarrassed. The next woman is now invited to participate. The first one sees how the competition actually went, calms down and laughs.
In my pants
This is one of the rare occasions when regular newspaper headlines can be useful. Journalists are now especially eager to compete in originality. Cut out the most unexpected ones and place them in an envelope. Then this envelope goes around. Each participant takes out one heading and says "and in my pants ..." and reads the heading from the pulled out piece of paper.
New Year's contests for a small company in a restaurant
In this case, there are some peculiarities. Funny competitions for the New Year in a restaurant can be quite mobile, but not too much, so as not to damage the furniture and dishes. Therefore, you should not involve all those present in the contests at once. Better to attract 2-3 people. Contests are also encouraged to have fun without leaving the table. In this case, you can have fun even where there is no special agreement for this.
Alphabetical greetings
Invite the guests to take turns congratulating the audience and making toasts, not just like that, but alphabetically. The first says a toast in the letter "a", the second - in "b" and so on. The most fun, of course, begins towards the end of the alphabet, in the region of the letters "y", "s", as well as a hard and soft sign. The winner is the one whose congratulation or toast is the most fun.
The original assumes a competition with a fake, drawn cake, on each piece of which predictions are written or drawn. So, a drawn penny portends wealth; the heart is, of course, love; envelope - news, news, and so on.
You can also hold a competition with a real cake, in every piece of which such a prediction is hidden. Fortune-telling and predictions are invariably successful. People always want to know what the future holds for them. And even if fortune-telling is comic, it gives a lot of pleasure.
Storyteller
Perfect competition for the new year in a restaurant. Firstly, guests will not have to get up anywhere, and secondly, it is quite fun and interesting. Remind guests of the plots of several famous fairy tales, offer to choose one for yourself and retell, but slightly change the genre. It can be a detective story, a thriller, a love story. If you wish, you can spend several rounds, changing fairy tales and changing genres. In each round, the author of the most interesting version is chosen as the winner.
Two oxen
Two participants are selected. They are placed with their backs to each other, a rope tied in a ring is thrown over them in the manner of a team. A chair or table with a prize is placed in front of each participant at a distance of several meters. The task of the participants is to drag the opponent and be the first to grab their prize.
Jelly
For this cool competition for the new year you will need some delicate product: jelly, jellied meat, soufflé. The task of the participants is to eat their portion as quickly as possible using matches or toothpicks. This competition is good in that it does not involve getting up from the table, there are enough oars for both participants and spectators.
Chefs
Another "sit-down" competition. Each participant is given a pen and a piece of paper, where he must write down all the New Year's dishes, for example, with the letter "n". When the lists are ready, the participants read them one by one. The one with the longest list wins.
You can slightly modernize this competition. Participants do not make preliminary lists, but simply name their dishes one by one. You can't repeat yourself. Those who find it difficult to answer are eliminated. The last survivor wins. This competition awakens the appetite very well and is convenient to take place, for example, between appetizers and hot dishes.
New Year's contests for corporate events
Corporate events usually involve the presence in one place of a large number of unfamiliar people. It is here that employees of different departments meet for the first time, who in ordinary life do not contact each other in any way, or even quarrel at all. Therefore, contests for New Year's corporate parties should unobtrusively bring people together. Here, team entertainment, pair competitions and the like are used.
Chief Accountant
On the poster, various banknotes in a variety of currencies. Banknotes must be recognizable. The task of the participants is to count the banknotes from the first to the last. Moreover, all currencies must be counted simultaneously: 1 ruble, 1 dollar, 1 euro, 2 euros, 2 dollars, 2 rubles. The winner is the one who never fails.
Diver
Since a separate room is most often rented for corporate events, you can usually afford mobile contests here. For the competition "Diver" you will need two pairs of fins and two binoculars. Participants go to the start in pairs, put on fins, take binoculars and, looking into it from the back, try to cover the distance as quickly as possible. It is quite difficult, so you should not make the distance too long, and even more difficult, with a lot of turns and obstacles.
Baba Yaga
The meaning is similar to the previous one. Participants put one foot in the bucket and support it with their hand. In the second hand they are given a mop. Baba Yaga in a mortar with a broom is ready. It remains only to find out which of the two (three) is more agile and faster.
Discoverer
Team contests are also good for New Year's corporate events. For example, the following. The participants are divided into 2 teams and each of them is given a ball. First, the teams open a new planet, that is, they inflate the resulting balloon. And then they pick up the markers and begin to populate this planet. That is, draw the inhabitants on the ball. When the allotted time ends, the leader counts the inhabitants on both planets. The team with the largest population wins.
Broken Phone and Associations
Do not forget about the good old, time-tested games. For example, a damaged phone. Participants are seated in a circle or a chain, depending on the possibilities of the hall. In principle, you can play it without leaving the table. The first participant whispers a hidden word in his neighbor's ear. It is usually advised to do this quickly and indiscriminately. But in fact, no matter how you pronounce your word, there are many people in the long chain who hear it wrong. Whispering is not conducive to intelligibility. As a result, you need to compare the initial and final words.
The association game is not very different from the "telephone". In this case, the participants do not repeat the word they heard, but tell their neighbors their associations: Santa Claus - gifts - a holiday, and so on.
The main thing is that the suit fits
It is better to hold this competition towards the end of the evening, when the guests are already slightly drunk, get to know each other and are ready for really fun contests. A bag with various funny clothes is prepared in advance: felt boots, scarves, scarves, family panties, diapers for adults, quilted jackets, glasses with a mustache, and so on. The contestants are seated in a circle, and a bag of clothes is passed around while the music is playing. When the music stops, the person who still has the bag, without looking, takes out one object and puts it on. The winner is announced to be the one wearing the least “competitive” clothing. By the end, though, everyone looks fun.
snowman
The participants are again divided into two teams and 8 inflated balloons are given to them. Each team has balls of a different color. For example: red and blue. The letters are written on the balls with a marker so that the word "Snowman" is the result.
Other words can be formed from these 8 balls. This is what the speed teams will do. The moderator asks questions, the answers to which can be laid out from the given letters. A point is earned by the team that will complete the task faster. The team with more point than the opponent wins.
Paper dress
This competition is attended by pairs. The man's task is to create a dress made of toilet paper for his female model. You can't use anything other than paper. But you can do whatever you want with it: twist, plug, tie in a bow. The contestants are removed to a separate room, then the girls come out and show off their outfits. Please note that the model must exit into IT by itself. The audience chooses the winners.

The lead to the game is something like this: “Everyone knows a sign that in order to live the whole next year without debts, you have to pay them off in the old year.

Everyone who wants to part with their creditors once and for all can throw any amount into it, while internally you need to very strongly and sincerely wish yourself wealth and prosperity. And remember, the more generous you are in debt repayment, the more favorable the coming New Year will be to you! "

Dickmy: What is the main thing for you in the New Year's entertainment program? For me personally, there are three criteria for a good script: clear rules, a minimum of props, and the ability to involve as many participants as possible. In short, simple, cheap and versatile. I have prepared just such a selection of entertainment for the meeting of the coming year for you! You can assume that today I am trying on the costume of Santa Claus! And I give you magical gifts!
INDOOR NEW YEAR GAMES
Dickmy: As a rule, unfamiliar guests are often embarrassed to go out on the dance floor at the very beginning of the holiday, or to participate in something. Your task, as the host of the party and the main wizard in combination, is to make sure that they quickly and easily join the team, get used to it. Start your entertainment with playing games in the house. Moreover, in order to participate in most of them, it is not even necessary to leave the table.
Game 1. Magic watercolors
Number of participants: everyone.
Props: plastic wide plates, black markers, timer.
Rules: At the command of the leader, all players must put a plate on their heads and take a marker in right hand... After the words "started!" everyone starts drawing a snowman on the bottom of a plate. The task is difficult because you have to draw without looking, intuitively. As a rule, this game is accompanied by a sea of comments and hilarious laughter. Time to complete the task is 2 minutes. The author of the best "picture" (determined by standing ovation and applause) is awarded a prize!
Game 2. New Year's snowman

Game 3. Santa Claus Cookies

If the cookie falls, the participant leaves the game.
Game 4. Funny snowballs
Dickmy: The props for this game need to be prepared in advance. First of all, you need to make snowmen. To do this, you will need disposable plastic cups, cardboard (black and red), and glue. Cut out circles for the eyes and mouth of the snowmen from black cardboard, and a triangle-carrot from red cardboard. Glue everything to the glasses. The snowmen are ready! Now make the balls. You can use old socks for this. Fill them with unnecessary shreds and cotton wool. Sew, cut off excess. Everything, you can go into battle!
Number of participants: 5-7 people.
Props: 10 plastic glasses-snowmen, cloth balls.
Rules: The task is to knock down a pyramid of snowmen with a ball. It is complicated by the fact that the distance from the player to the pyramid must be at least 10 steps. The winner is the participant who knocks down all the snowmen. There are three attempts to complete the task.

In order not to be bored at the New Year's party in the company, it is necessary to think over a fun program in advance, including interesting contests. As a rule, such moments enliven any event, allow the participants to feel at ease, to get to know each other better.
It is desirable that more people participate in the entertainment - then laughter and fun will contribute to a good mood on New Year's Eve, banishing boredom and drowsiness.
1. Snowball
The competition can be held sitting at the table. This is an acquaintance game that, in an unfamiliar company, allows you to remember the names of all the party participants, as well as have fun right at the very beginning of the holiday.
The first participant says his name. The second participant says the name of the previous participant, as well as his own name. So the game continues further, with each participant the list of names that must be pronounced becomes longer and longer.
Then the game can be complicated by asking the participants to add to their name also some nickname on the theme of fairy-tale characters, for example "Peter - Batman", "Anna - Fiona" and so on.
In this competition, the winners are difficult to determine, but the process of pronouncing names will already be a real fun.
2. Catch the "snake"
Two participants sit on chairs facing each other. Under the chairs lies a rope - "snake", the ends of which pass between the feet of each participant.
At the command of the main leader, the participants should sharply lean forward, trying to grab the rope faster than the opponent and pull it out from under the chair.
The most agile wins - he then competes with the next competitor, and so on, until a stand-out winner is determined.
3. Together we will win the winter!
Everyone is in pairs. Each pair is given a piece of ice (ice in identical molds must be prepared for the competition in advance). At the signal, the couple tries to quickly melt their ice in any way - you can blow on it, lick it, put it on the body, between your palms, rub. Participants are not allowed to use heating appliances and hot utensils to melt their ice cube. The couple with the first ice melt will win.
4. New Year's songs
For this competition, you don't even have to leave the table. The whole company is divided into two teams. The draw will determine which group starts first.
The essence of the competition is to remember all the songs about the New Year, Christmas tree, Christmas, winter, snow, blizzards, and sing a verse of each. The group that remembered more songs wins.
You can change this competition slightly as follows. Small pieces of paper are prepared in advance, words on the theme of the New Year and winter are written on them - "Snow Maiden", "Blizzard", "Santa Claus", "Snow", "winter", "December".
Representatives from the teams take out one piece of paper from a colorful box, and try to quickly remember the song, where the given word is, they perform it. This competition can be arranged as a small concert-improvisation.
5. Competition for the fulfillment of wishes
This competition must be prepared in advance as follows. A note is embedded in the balls with some task on the New Year's theme, for example: "Show the battle of the Kremlin chimes", "Show the dance of snowflakes", "Show the snow woman", "Show the icicle", "Show the Christmas tree", "Show the drunk Santa Claus" , "Sing a New Year's song in a child's voice" and so on. These tasks should be varied and fun, and a large number of them must be prepared.
It is also necessary to pour small confetti into the balls, inflate them and hang them somewhere higher.
For the competition, all those present are divided into two groups. The participant of the first team must burst the ball with his hand or a stick - he will be sprinkled with confetti, a piece of paper with the task will fall out. Then he must do the task as best as possible to the applause and laughter of those present.
If the participant does not want to complete this task, the team receives minus 1 point. Together with each participant, everyone present can perform the task, competing as a reproduced scene. The most active team wins.
6. New Year's alphabet
This competition can be held right at the festive table. The presenter of the holiday announces that he wants to check if everyone remembers the alphabet.
Each of the participants in turn pronounces a Happy New Year to all participants, starting the phrase with one letter of the alphabet, with "A". For example, "A" - "And let's wish all the ladies present a Happy New Year!"; "B" - "Be healthy and happy in the New Year!"
The culmination of this competition will be attempts to come up with phrases for the letters "b", "f", "b", "y". Agile and resourceful participants in the competition must somehow get out of the situation or laugh it off.
7. Playing snowballs
For this competition, a sufficient number of "snowballs" from cotton wool are made in advance. All those present are divided into two teams and stand on opposite sides of the hall.
At the command of the leader, both teams begin to throw prepared snowballs at each other, there is noise, confusion, laughter. Then, at the command of the leader, the "war" ends. Each team must collect all the "snowballs" that fell on their side of the hall. The winner is the group that gets the most.
Then this competition can be continued with comic tasks - the participants of both teams compete in carrying the “snowball” on the head, on the chest, on the back - so that they do not hold it with their elbows, hands, and so that the “snowball” does not fall to the floor.
8. Santa Claus sneezed
This competition is not held to determine the winners, but to create general fun and laughter.
All those present are divided into three groups. At the beginning, the members of each group are told that they, according to a certain command - for example, by the wave of a "magic wand", each must shout out their own magic word. These words are for three teams - "achi", "eyes", "cartilage".
The teams must shout these words simultaneously, all together, and the one who shouts her word louder than others will win. At special signals, the teams shout their words all together.
As a result, all this noise will be like the sneezing of a giant. The presenter can further provoke and amuse the participants of this competition, answering every "sneeze" - "Bless you, Santa Claus!"
9. Rolling snowballs
This competition is held between male + female couples.
Gentle music sounds, the participants dance a slow dance. Then the music stops, the presenter distributes small balls to the couples, which he places between the bellies of the ladies and gentlemen.
At a special signal from the host of the competition, more energetic music begins to sound, and the partners try to roll the ball to the chin with the movements of their bodies so as not to drop it or touch it with their hands.
10. Festive conveyor
From among those present, five participants are selected in two teams, they are given names: "open-ka", "pour-ka", "drink-ka", "bite-ka", "close-ka".
At the tables for two teams at the end of the hall, there are bottles of sparkling water (for adult companies - with champagne or wine), a glass, and a sandwich.
At the start signal of our host, the first participants from the starting mark run to the tables, open a bottle. The second participants must run to the tables and pour the drink into the glass to the brim. The third pair of participants run to drink the poured in glasses. The fourth participants in the competition “have a snack” on a sandwich, the fifth ones run and close a bottle with a drink.
The winner is the team that is more accurate and faster to pass this relay.
Alternatively, there may be not five participants in the teams, but, for example, three or seven. Three sandwiches can be prepared, and the relay race is carried out until three laps have been completed, from opening the bottle to closing it.
11. Boxing ring
Two participants are called to the "stage" to compete with each other. The host announces that there will now be bloody battles between two real men. Participants are given boxing gloves.
Putting on gloves, the presenter accompanies the cooking process with the phrases “warming up” the audience: “Real men fight to the last!”, “The ring will show who is stronger!”. Participants can be stripped to the waist, allowed to stretch, jump, box in the air.
When the participants are warmed up and ready to fight each other, they are given ... a piece of candy in a wrapper (put on the tables). At the start signal “ring”, our “boxers” should try to quickly unfold this candy with their gloved hands, without dropping it from the table, and eat it.
The task with sweets can be replaced with another task: with your hands in boxing gloves, unfasten the buttons on the lady, who is first put on a dressing gown.
12. Queen of New Year's Eve
What fabulous evening would be complete without a queen? So on New Year's Eve, the participants will have to choose their main queen of the ball. For this, of course, the queens need to dress up in appropriate clothes, for which each team is given 1-2 rolls of toilet paper.
The task of the teams is to create a “royal dress” for their main “queen” within a certain period of time, for example, while all the other participants are singing some New Year's song.
The winner is the team whose outfit of the "queen" is better than that of other "queens".
13. Dancing with balls
When it's time to dance on the New Year's Eve, a very funny competition can be offered to the participants. All dancers have a balloon tied to the ankle of their left leg.
The essence of the competition is to keep your ball from the feet of other participants while dancing, and at the same time try to "burst" the balls from them.
Such "dances" turn into fun fuss, which gives good mood and everyone's fun.
14. Fun questions - fun answers
This competition requires a little preliminary preparation. It is necessary to cut cards of the same size from thick paper or cardboard, an even number, about two to three times more in quantity than the participants in the future party. On half of the cards, you need to write a variety of questions, putting them in a separate deck. On the second half of the cards, you need to write the answers - this will be the second deck.
Questions may be: "Do you know how to control yourself?", "If I kiss you - what will you say to this?" 
"Do you like striptease?", "Do you often get drunk?" other. The answers can be of the following plan: “Only after payday”, “My youth is left behind”, “This is my favorite pastime”, “Only at night” and others.
The first participant calls the name of the person to whom he will ask the question, takes a card from the deck of questions, reads it.
The respondent takes a card from the deck of answers and reads it. Then the second participant calls the name of the next responder, takes a card with a question, reads - and the festival of funny questions and answers continues further.
