After these words, the players run to the other side of the hall beyond the home line. Both Frosts catch and “freeze” those running across. Those who are “frozen” remain standing in place.

Then the Frosts again turn to the players, and they, having answered, run back to the “house”, helping out the “frozen” along the way, touching them with their hands. Those who were rescued join the rest of the guys. The game continues.

Hat

The game is good to play with fun rhythmic music. The children are standing around. Santa Claus or the host of the holiday begins the game by transferring the hat from his head to the head of the child standing next to him, he, in turn, transfers the hat from his head to the head of his neighbor, and so on in a circle.

Chairs are placed in a circle (there are 1 fewer chairs than there are players). Among those playing is Santa Claus or Snowman. Music sounds, all participants in the game begin to run around the chairs. As soon as the music stops, all the children quickly try to take their seats. The adult hero plays half-heartedly (giving in), pretending that he does not have time to sit down on a chair. Since all the seats are occupied by children, he will have to dance for everyone or give out gifts.

Felt boots

Large felt boots are placed in front of the Christmas tree. Two children are playing. At a signal, they run around the tree from different sides. The winner is the one who runs around the tree faster and puts on felt boots.

Trap

Having run away from the Snowman (or Santa Claus), the children stop and, clapping their hands, say: “One-two-three! One-two-three! Well, quickly catch us!” When the text ends, everyone runs away. The snowman (Santa Claus) is catching up with the children.

Playing with rattles

Children, holding rattles in their hands, run scattered around the hall to cheerful music. When the music ends, the children stop and hide the rattles behind their backs. The fox (or another character participating in the game) is looking for rattles. She asks the children to show her first one hand, then the other. Children behind their backs transfer rattles from one hand to another, as if showing that there is nothing in their hand. The fox is surprised that the rattles have disappeared. The music plays again and the game repeats.

He puts the child in a sack and carries him around the tree. He places the other child in the part of the bag where there is no bottom. Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, and the child remains in place. Santa Claus returns and is “surprised.” The game repeats itself.

2. "New Year's round dance"

In this New Year’s game, the leader gathers the children in a circle and says: “There are different Christmas trees: wide, and low, and tall, and thin. If I say “high” - raise your hands up, “low” - squat, “wide” - make the circle wider, “thin” - make the circle narrower.” The game begins. The leader gives the children tasks, trying to confuse them.

3. “Smeshinka”

Here's another fun game. It’s called “Smeshinka.” Each child receives a New Year’s name. For example: icicle, Christmas tree, Snow Maiden, snowdrift, flashlight, firecracker. The presenter takes turns asking the kids questions: “What’s your name? What’s on your nose? Which one?” "Is it a holiday today? Who's coming to visit us? What did you have for breakfast?" Children answer questions with their “names.” The main condition is that you cannot laugh. Whoever laughs leaves the circle. The most serious one certainly receives a New Year’s gift.

4. "Snowball"

Usually children prepare gifts for Santa Claus in the form of a performance. But it will be more interesting not to just stand under the Christmas tree and recite the routine rhyme, but to play the “Snowball” game first.

We're all rolling a snowball,

We all count to five.

6. “Snowballs are flying to the target”

After the previous game, you can test the children’s accuracy: invite them to throw snowballs into a basket or box from a distance of about 2-3 steps (for older children, a different distance is naturally chosen).

Good afternoon, dear readers!

As the New Year approaches, a fun time of games, entertainment, songs, dances and gifts begins for children.

However, for adults, and especially cultural workers, this is another test of strength, because you need to prepare a script for the matinee, rehearse, find costumes and, most importantly, figure out how to entertain the kids near the New Year tree.

So that the kids don’t get bored at the matinee, we present New Year’s games for children near the Christmas tree. I hope that the selection will be useful to you.

Many of us remember the New Year's matinees of Soviet times. The competitions and entertainment at them were quite monotonous.

True, some of them have already become a real tradition, and modern children also look forward to the usual songs, round dances around the Christmas tree and games with Santa Claus. The most popular of them still remain:

  • Round dances to the songs “Little Christmas Tree” and “A Christmas Tree Was Born in the Forest.”
  • “I’ll freeze”: it is usually carried out by Santa Claus. He runs past the guys who put their hands forward. When Santa Claus approaches, you need to hide your hands. The one whose hands Grandfather touches is eliminated and stands in a circle. The “frozen” will have to recite a rhyme or sing a song. This competition, like the next one, is held to music.
  • "Mitten." Santa Claus passes a mitten to the children in a circle. It is important to quickly pass it to the next participant without dropping it. If someone’s mitten falls, that participant drops out and stands in a circle, and the mitten “travels” further.
  • Christmas tree, light up! This remark always accompanies the end of the New Year's party. The children unanimously call Santa Claus. When he arrives, everyone shouts together: “Christmas tree, light up!” The tree is lit only for the third time, after which the final song of Santa Claus sounds and gifts are distributed.

These entertainments create a kind of “backbone” of the holiday, without which the New Year is simply unthinkable for children. The organizers and creators of the matinee script can “string” any variants of competitions onto it.

In room

If the matinee takes place in a kindergarten or school, you can use the following selection of competitions:

Low and high Christmas trees

The game can be played with musical accompaniment. The guys stand in a circle, Santa Claus or another hero is located in the center. At the command “high trees”, participants raise their hands up, “low trees” - lower them down.


Whoever does it wrong or is late goes into the circle. After the game ends, the children in the circle are asked to recite a poem, sing or dance. Small prizes must be prepared in advance for the speakers.

Snowballs

Snow balls are made from crumpled sheets of white paper. The competition can be held among two teams. He may have various options. For example, you can scatter lumps on the floor and ask teams to collect snowballs into baskets while music is playing.

The team whose basket contains the most snowballs wins. Another option is snow basketball. The guys stand in a column. Each participant is given a lump, which they need to get into a basket standing at a distance. The team that throws the most snowballs into the basket wins. The winners are given mini-prizes.

Guess what's in the bag

Various things are placed in Santa Claus's bag. Children must feel by touch which gift is in the bag.

Pass the orange


The competition can be held in teams or in a circle. The task is to pass the orange to the next participants without using your hands. The further the orange goes while the music is playing, the better.

Fishermen

Christmas tree toys with pre-made loops are placed in a large box. The children are given fishing rods with hooks. The task is to pick up as many Christmas tree decorations as possible.

Such funny competitions and games will not let your children get bored and will make the New Year truly festive!

Outdoors

If you started a matinee on the street, you will have to change the scenario a little and include other games and entertainment in it:

Make a snowball


Several willing participants are selected. At the command of the presenter, music plays, and during this time the children must roll a snowball. Whoever gets the most wins.

Towns

One team builds a fortification out of snow. The other one must conquer him. Snowballs are used, with which the participants try to break through the fortification.

King of the Hill

A snow hill is being built. One of the participants stands on top, and the others try to pull him down from there. Whoever succeeds in this becomes the “king” and the game starts all over again.

Accurate shooter

Targets are placed. The task is to hit the target with snowballs.

Similar entertainment can be carried out with children after the traditional matinee. They will amuse the children and prolong the New Year's fun.

So we found out what games you can play with your kids near the Christmas tree for the New Year. Both children and adults can play, this will only make it more fun.


Upcoming holidays!
