To make the New Year holiday, which all children look forward to, fun and vibrant, adults must take care to create a festive atmosphere. A major role is played by the preparatory phase. Decorating a Christmas tree, making DIY Christmas costumes, Christmas decorations and greeting cards with your own hands - this is what children do with the help of their parents. No less important is the entertainment program, which should include mobile and informative games, contests and, of course, a round dance.
- "New Year's Cat"
For the game you will need two beautifully decorated pouches and a box with unbreakable Christmas decorations, tinsel, various objects and small toys. Blindfold the two participants in the contest and hand in a bag. To the hilarious music, they should touch to the touch items from the box related to the New Year. When the melody stops, remove the blindfolds and examine the contents of the pouches. In whose knapsack there will be more New Year paraphernalia, he won. This game can be played alternately by all the children present.
- "Birds in the house"
One part of the children should portray houses. To do this, a pair of kids takes hands and makes a "roof". Other children play the role of birds. There should be two more birds than houses. They whirl gaily around the houses, and under the words of the presenter, “I dripped rain,” they should fly under the roof. Those who did not have a house change roles and become houses.
- "Snow biathlon"
Divide the children into two teams and give them an equal number of paper napkins. At a certain distance, put 2 containers of the same diameter, for example, children's pails. The child should make snowballs from napkins and throw them at the target. The more accurate team will win. Buckets can not be put, but handed to one of the team members so that he picks up snowballs on the fly.
- "Decorate the Christmas tree"
To conduct a relay game, prepare 2 small artificial Christmas trees and set them at a certain distance from the players. Divide the children into 2 teams and hand them boxes with an equal number of Christmas tree decorations. Children take the decoration from the box one by one, run with it to the Christmas tree, dress it up and return to the team. Whoever decorates his Christmas tree faster wins the game.
- "Christmas tree with a surprise"
For the game you need to prepare the layout of the tree made of cardboard. At the place of the toys, cut round holes, on the back of which fasten the bags. Children take turns throwing tennis balls into the holes. The most accurate player who has scored the maximum number of balls is awarded a prize.
- "Merry Orange"
Children become one line. Give the extreme player an orange, which he must pass along the chain. The highlight of the game is that when transferring, you can use only your shoulders and chin without touching it with your hands. If the orange falls to the floor, the game starts anew.You can divide the children into two teams and arrange a competition between them.
- "Unusual round dance"
Driving a round dance, singing New Year’s songs are integral attributes of the holiday. To diversify the traditional event, ask the children the conditions that they must fulfill during a round dance. For example, when the host says the word “snowman”, you need to stomp on the spot, with the word “frost” - jump up, “Christmas tree” - clap your hands, etc.
New Year's Eve is always fun and exciting. To increase the degree of excitement, do not forget to reward the winners with small souvenirs or sweets. If possible, involve children in the process of preparing for games and competitions, let them show their imagination.
