Almost every family carefully prepares for the New Year's celebration: they make up the menu, choose outfits, decorate the house and think over an entertainment program. So that you do not have to get bored at the party for the 2021 meeting, New Year's games, contests and entertainment will help, which can be arranged even while sitting at the table.

Games at the New Year's table

With the help of contests and other entertainment at the festive table, people can get to know each other better and have fun. You will not be bored at the holiday if you include several New Year's games in the entertainment program. The party will be unforgettable, no doubt about it.

Forfeits from the hat

Guests for the New Year 2021 will have to take out pieces of paper from their hats and depict what is written on them.

You can specify the following tasks:

• depict a snake;
• meow 3 times;
• bark like a dog;
• pat on the head of a neighbor;
• pat yourself;
• kiss a person sitting next to him;
• depict the cry of a monkey;
• depict a bird cry.

Sensation

Before starting the game, you need to prepare:

• cut out words, phrases, letters from any newspaper. It's best to choose something fun;
• stick them on cardboard cards;
• distribute cards to players.

Participants must compose a story from the words that they come across in the card. If the words refer to different spheres of life, for example, to politics and show business, you will get very funny stories. The development of "events" depends only on the imagination of the participants.

Tsiferki

Before the start of the game, each of the participants must write any numbers on the pieces of paper. When everyone is done, the moderator asks questions, and those present answer them by raising the appropriate number up.

May I ask:

• how old are you?
• what is the apartment number in which you live?
• what is your house number?
• how old is your mother?
• how many times have you stayed for the second year?
• what floor do you live on?
• how many fingers do you have on your right hand?
• how many glasses did you drink?
• how many glasses can you drink in an evening?
• how many minutes do you sleep at night?

You can come up with a lot of funny questions, as far as imagination allows, and then you definitely won't be bored.

New Year's crocodile

Many people know the game "Crocodile" since childhood, when players have to show certain words with gestures. Playing in the New Year involves demonstrating only New Year's words and phrases. Participants must portray, for example, the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, snow, a skating rink, a Christmas tree, a toy, and the like.

The presenter must prepare in advance pieces of paper with words that will be pulled by the participants in the game. Guests need to show without words the one that they got, and other players must guess.

Strictly alphabetical

The presenter invites the players to remember the alphabet, but not in the usual way, but with the help of toasts. Each participant must fill their glass and say a toast to the New Year, but in alphabetical order.

The toast should be short and start with a specific letter. For example, from A to G, you can say the following:

1. "Absolutely everyone should raise their glasses to happiness in the coming year."
2. "Good luck, friends!"
3. "Let's drink to love and prosperity in the New Year."
4. "The year will be happy and successful, the main thing is to believe in it."

Players must use every next letter of the alphabet for their toasts. The participant who makes the most colorful and best toast wins. The winner is chosen by voting.

The most of the most

So that guests do not get bored, they need to be given a task for which they will receive gifts. To do this, hang a few small souvenirs and sweets on the tree. Put a piece of paper addressed to guests in each item.

Instead of names on the sheets, you need to write various definitions over which each of the guests will have to think, get to know the rest of those present at the holiday better. Such entertainment will be appropriate if there are many new people in the company, so they will quickly get used to it.

You can write the following:

1. The one with the greenest eyes.
2. To the best football player.
3. The most hooligan guy.
4. The owner of a good tan.
5. The best hostess.
6. The one who prefers huge heels.
7. The one who has the most dangerous profession.

The main thing is to indicate exactly those qualities and facts that relate to this or that guest. Those present will have to guess who the gift is due, thereby getting to know each other.

New Year's Eve contests

The entertainment program for the New Year 2021 at the table plays an important role, along with the selection of good music and the preparation of a festive menu. In addition to New Year's games and entertainment, there are many contests that will also make the evening unforgettable.

The clock strikes 12, and we draw

Each participant is given a piece of paper and a pen. Within 12 seconds, he must draw the maximum number of New Year's symbols on the sheet, for example, a Christmas tree, Santa Claus, a Christmas tree toy, Olivier salad, and the like. The winner is the one who managed to draw the most objects. He is awarded a prize.

Don't tell me the truth

The presenter needs to come up with several questions related to the New Year. For example:

• what do people dress up on New Years?
• which salad is a symbol of the holiday?
• what drink is customary to drink on New Year's Eve?
• what do people set on fire during New Year's Eve on the street?

The leader must quickly and skillfully ask his questions, and the players must answer them at the same pace. The meaning of the competition is to answer incorrectly, to tell a lie.

Those players who answer correctly will have to complete some task, for example, tell a poem or dance.

Loud applause

This competition will amuse any guest. The task of the event is to applaud as loudly as possible, to try to do it the loudest. But there is a limitation. Participants are seated in pairs, their hands are tied, only so that the right hand of one player is connected to the left hand of the other.

The presenter gives the command to start applause, at which time the participants should clap very loudly. The winner is chosen by voting.

Tangerine hype

The competition consists of two stages:

1. In the first part of the competition, players are given a tangerine, which they must peel and divide into shares by the "Start" command. Whoever does it faster gets a prize.
2. At the second stage, participants need to be blindfolded and given a toothpick. Arrange mandarin slices in a circle on a table or chair. Players will have to chop tangerines onto their toothpicks. The winner is the one who collects the most slices.

Song in the hat

An exciting and fun competition that will be appreciated by people who love to sing. Before starting, you need to prepare several pieces of paper, write on them one by one any word.

Given that the New Year is celebrated, it is preferable to write suitable words, for example, "fireworks", "tree", "snowflake", "Santa Claus" and others. Put pieces of paper in a hat, offer each player to draw one of them.

Players will have to come up with a small song with a word written on a piece of paper and perform it.

Money box

The facilitator should choose a jar or box. Pass it around in a circle to all participants, who must, in turn, put a coin or paper bill into it.

When the circle is over, the leader counts the total amount in the box and offers to guess how much money was accumulated. Anyone who guesses the exact amount will receive it for himself.

Entertainment for a corporate party

New Year's games and contests to celebrate the New Year 2021 can be arranged at work in the company of colleagues. Entertainment at the table will help you distract from work tasks and have fun with colleagues in an informal setting.

Comic forfeits with job predictions

New Year is associated with various fortune-telling, in which most people believe or have a positive attitude. Celebrating the New Year with colleagues at work can be diversified with fortune-telling in a comic form.

To do this, you need to prepare several scraps of paper, write various prophecies on them and put them in a bag. You can write about the following:

• about an increase in salary;
• about the transition to a new, more prestigious position;
• about a change of leadership;
• about new ideas or about reducing the list of responsibilities.

Prophecies can be anything and the more fun the better. Comic forfeits are very relevant on New Year's Eve, because even adults are waiting for a miracle and there are few children at heart. The essence of the entertainment is to have fun, dream up and then remember the predictions for a whole year.

The game "I've never …"

Quite a well-known and addicting game. Each participant should share something intimate with everyone, starting his story with the phrase "I have never …".

For example, you can say: "I have never ridden a camel," "I have never gone camping in the forest with an overnight stay." The rest of the participants, who, on the contrary, found themselves in such situations in their lives, will have to take a sip of wine or champagne.

Thus, in the course of the game, each of the participants must speak. You can confess to something fun or more personal. For example, say, "I have never swum naked in a river." Each person decides for himself what to say. A fun game that will help you get to know each other better.

Vacancies for the New Year

The purpose of this entertainment is to come up with the most unusual professions for the New Year holidays. For example, it can be a tangerine cleaner, a salad fighter, pouring alcoholic drinks, etc. The winner is the participant who comes up with the maximum number of funny professions.

Children's contests

Not only adults, but also children can have fun at the New Year's celebration. Children can be offered the following contests.

More works

Each participant must, in 3 minutes, recall the maximum number of poems and songs about the New Year or about winter, write them on a piece of paper. You can only write the first few words.

After 3 minutes, the players will have to take turns reading all the pieces that they have recorded. The winner will be the one who remembers more suitable musical compositions and poems.

More wishes

This game is educational in nature and will be useful to any child. Before you start, you need to prepare notes with numbers from 1 to 9 and put them in a box or bag. Each of the players must get a piece of paper, then come up with the number of congratulatory words indicated in the piece of paper.

Puzzle in mittens

Developing contests must be combined with entertaining ones, for example, like this game. Participants will have to collect puzzles for speed, but always wearing gloves. Whoever does it faster will win and receive a prize.

Screenwriter

This game is suitable for schoolchildren of any age. Participants need to split into two teams or play each for himself. The task of the game is to come up with a new fairy tale, but based on old works.

Any genre can be: detective, comedy or thriller. For example, "Little Red Riding Hood is investigating the case of the missing Kolobok and is trapped by the cunning Fox and the evil Wolf." The winner is determined by voting or by the number of applause.

Competitions for the New Year 2021 will be a real decoration of the holiday. New Year's games and other entertainment at the table do not have to be themed and appropriate for the holiday. It is important to take into account the age of the players, how well the guests know each other and other indicators.
