Funny New Year contests

1. Competition for the company “Spirtometer”

Do you see that there are already enough drunken men among you? Invite them to participate in this competition. Give them a felt-tip pen or pen and bring them to the wall on which a prepared sheet of Whatman paper with a scale drawn on it is placed. On the scale, from top to bottom, divisions are plotted – degrees incrementally, 5-10-30-40 degrees and further. Each participant is invited to evaluate how many degrees the degree of their intoxication is pulling, then stand with their back to this “alcohol meter” and, bending down, stretching out their hand to the scale between their legs, mark this degree on it. Each of them will want to show themselves more sober than they really are, therefore, their arms will stretch very high, as far as such an interesting pose will certainly allow.

2. Contest “Guess the Snow Maiden”

In this competition, you need to ask the men to retire to another room or kitchen.

The remaining girls and women come to the tree and visually choose a Christmas tree ball for themselves. Then the men return to the room one at a time and try to guess the ball that someone has thought of. The more balls on the tree, the less chances of getting on someone’s ball, but if he manages to guess some girl, then she should have a drink with him for brotherhood. All men can choose once, then they leave the room again and the girls replay the balls. The winner is determined by the host of the competition at his discretion – maybe the man who guessed the same girl several times, and if there were no such ones, then the one who just guessed more than others. Let the Snow Maiden of the evening choose himself!

3. “Locate target”

For this competition, cut out and paint Christmas tree decorations from cardboard in advance or buy plastic ones, they are now sold a lot and are inexpensive. Distribute to participants. Everyone needs to be blindfolded. Then each participant is spun around its axis several times and offered to go and hang the toy on the tree. The main rule is that you can only walk in a straight line, without turning. If the chosen path turned out to be wrong, then you still need to hang the toy at the end point of your path, even if it is not a Christmas tree at all, but, for example, the nose or ear of one of the guests. The rest of the celebrants can add “problems” to the contestants by standing around the room in different places. The winner is the one who completes the main task, i.e. will place his toy on the tree, and not anywhere else. All the rest are encouraging prizes for originality.

4. Contest “In a circle”

Participants stand in a circle. The presenter gives any of them some kind of toy, best of all a doll in the form of a Snow Maiden or Santa Claus. The music turns on, and the contestants begin to pass the toy to each other in a circle. Then the music stops abruptly and the transfer of the toy is also at the same moment. Those who have the doll in their hands must be eliminated from the game. As a result, the last person remaining becomes the winner.

5. Competition “New Year’s Erudite”

Divide the guests at the table into two teams and invite them to name the titles of New Year’s films, or in which the action takes place in winter, in turn. Naturally, you need to name them one by one. The winner is the one who is the last to remember the film.

6. Competition “Dancing balls”

In this competition, balloons must be inflated in advance. Men and women are invited in pairs. Each pair must be given a ball. The task of the contestants is simply to dance a slow dance to the music, and place the ball between themselves. Music plays, couples dance, but suddenly the music stops, and then you need to hug so tightly to burst the balloon. The winner is the couple who succeeds the fastest.

7. Competition “Snowfall”

Santa Claus or Snow Maiden distributes light fluffy cotton snowflakes to the guests. Each participant throws his own snowflake into the air and blows on it in such a way as to keep it flying as long as possible. Anyone who did not succeed can help a friend to complete this task. Naturally, the winner is the one whose snowflake stays in the air the longest.

8. Competition “Drawings of Santa Claus”

Participants in this competition will literally have to perform it with their hands tied. The conditions of the competition are to draw a symbol of the coming year. The task is complicated by the fact that the hands will be tied behind the back. The winner is determined by universal suffrage.

9. Contest “Wonderful bag”

For this competition, you need to prepare a bag and fill it with various things: panties, hats, fake mustaches, glasses with huge glasses, bras. The most important thing is that all this should be of impressive size. All participants stand in a circle. In the center of the circle is the leader with this bag. Nobody except the presenter knows about the contents of the bag. Music begins to play and everyone, dancing, moves in a circle. Santa Claus can give the bag to anyone, at his discretion, and he, in turn, must give it to someone else, otherwise if the music stops and the bag is in his hands, he will lose. A penalty is imposed for a loss. Here it is – the loser must, without looking, get something out of the bag, then, amid the friendly laughter of the celebrants, put on this item over his clothes. Now he already dances with everyone in this outfit. The game is repeated in the same way until the items from the bag run out, or the guests get tired of laughing.

10. Contest “Toasts-congratulations”

Invite your guests to do some headwork. Namely, remember the alphabet! But it’s not boring at all. Guests are invited to pour glasses and make a toast in honor of the New Year. But there is one condition! Everyone pronounces their congratulatory phrase alphabetically, that is, the first person with the letter A, the next with the letter B, and so on.

For example:
A – Oh, how glad I am that the New Year has come! Let’s have a drink, friends!
B – Be all happy in the New Year!
B – Happiness to everyone!
The letters Г, Ж, Ь, ​​Ы, Ъ cause special fun. A prize is awarded for the funniest phrase.

11. Competition “Space Travelers”
