Game in kindergarten for the New Year. New Year's games, attractions, competitions, relay races, surprise moments

How to celebrate the New Year in a fun and noisy way? To do this you need to prepare in advance competitions for New Year!

What New Year would be complete without fun and competitions? Collected here huge variety competitions for children that adults will also be happy to play.

Competition "Twins"

Two participants should approach each other and hug with one hand (one should take one partner by the waist with the right hand, the other in the same way, but with the left). As a result, it turns out that each of them has only one free hand. Having received a task, they need to complete it as if their hands were the hands of one person. For example, cut out a shape from paper or lace up a shoe.

Competition “Wrap it faster”

To conduct the competition, four people are needed, who need to be divided into two pairs. One of the team members will be the “mummy”, the other will be the “mumiator”.

The essence of the game is that the “mumiator” is the most short term must have time to wrap his “mummy” with toilet paper (that is, “bandages”). This is a very funny and funny competition! After this, the task can be slightly modified, for example, who can wind the paper back into the roll faster.

Football with tangerines

The game takes place on a table, where each “player” is the middle and index finger of a child, and the ball is a tangerine.

Newton's laws

In order to carry out these New Year competitions, you will need 2 bottles and 20 dragees (you can take peas instead). Leads the program Father Frost.

The essence of the game is that bottles are placed in front of two participants in the competition and they are given 10 tablets each. At a signal from Santa Claus, participants must, without bending (so that their arms are at chest level), lower the dragee into the bottle. Whoever can put it in the bottle wins greatest number dragee.

New Year's dance

To hold the competition you need to take hoops according to the number of participants.

The idea is that the participants are given a plastic or metal hoop, and the host of the game (that is, Santa Claus) gives various tasks to those participating in the competition.

For example:
Rotate the hoop around your arm, waist or neck. Accordingly, the person who spins the hoop the longest wins.
At the leader’s command, send the hoop forward using your hand in a straight line. The one with the hoop that rolls the farthest wins.

New Year's competition "Snowflake"

To do this you will need to take cotton wool and make lumps out of it that resemble snowflakes. The host of this competition is Grandfather Frost.

The essence of the game is that all participants, upon a signal from Santa Claus, must begin to blow on the lump from below so that it flies through the air, like a snowflake, which, accordingly, should not be allowed to fall.

The winner is the person whose “snowflake” flies through the air the longest.

Competition “Dress up the holiday tree”

To do this you will need to do several Christmas decorations made of cotton wool (for example, fish, apples or pears) with wire hooks and a fishing rod with the same hook. Using a fishing rod, you need to hang all the toys on the fishing rod, and then remove them, also using the fishing rod. The winner is the participant who can do this in the specified time, for example, in two or three minutes. Instead of a Christmas tree, you can use its branch installed in some kind of stand.

Lump of snow

Redemption of New Year's gifts in Santa Claus's bag can occur as follows.

Participants who decided to play New Year competitions, stand in a circle and begin to pass each other a pre-prepared “snowball” made of paper or cotton wool.

While the “com” is being passed around to each other, Santa Claus walks around and says:
“We all roll a ball of snow!
Let's count to five!
One, two, three, four, five!
And read poetry to you!”
Or, as an option (ending) - “Sing a song for you!”

The one who falls out needs to do something (depending on the task) and... pick up his gift. After this, the game continues until the bag is empty.

crumple up the newspaper

For the event, newspapers will be required according to the number of participants. The host of the competition is Father Frost.

The essence of the game is that the participant, upon a signal from Santa Claus, must crumple up a sheet of newspaper, laid out in advance in front of the player, so that the sheet fits completely in his fist.

The one who does it first wins.

New Year's competition "Tomato"

Two participants are invited. They should stand facing each other on opposite sides of the same stool. The presenter puts a small banknote on a stool, after which he announces that on the count of “one, two, three...” participants must grab this bill. Accordingly, the one who does it first wins. In order to increase the excitement, you can give the bill to the winner. After this, the task becomes more complicated - participants should blindfold their eyes with tape. After the presenter again starts counting down “one, two, three...” the participants clap their palms on the place where the bill should be and... they find a tomato instead!

Throw the ball

To play this game you will need: a ball or an apple (in general, any round object), boxes, buckets, a “basket” made of a hat, a stool, rings, and various items.

The essence of the game: Santa Claus offers to choose any option for the task.
Using a ball, knock down several objects that are on a stool from a distance.
Throw an apple or a ball into a “basket” from a hat, which is located at a fair distance from the participant.
Place several rings on the legs of an inverted stool.

The one who completes the task best wins the competition.

Catch-up

In this competition, you should choose a presenter - Father Frost or Snow Maiden. Having run some distance away from the leader, the children stop at once and, clapping their hands, shout loudly: “One, two, three! One, two, three! Well, hurry up, catch us!!!” Having finished speaking the text, everyone runs away. The leader must catch up with the children.

What types of Christmas trees are there?

They decorate the Christmas tree with different toys, and Christmas trees in the forest are different, thin, wide, low, and tall.

Santa Claus (host) explains the rules to the children:
In words:
“high” – raise your arms high up,
“low” - squat and lower your arms down,
“wide” – make the circle wider,
“thin” - make the circle narrower.

And now it’s the game’s turn! (Santa Claus plays with the children, while trying to confuse them).

Mouse trap

Two participants who have decided to play competitions for the New Year (or the two tallest ones, or adults) stand opposite each other, holding hands. Holding their hands up (something like a mini round dance), they say: “How tired the mice are, they chewed everything up, ate everything. We will set a mousetrap and catch all the mice!”

The remaining participants play the role of mice, running between the hands of the catchers. As soon as the last words are spoken, hands drop, and the one who is caught joins the mousetrap. After that, everything is new. The fastest “mouse” wins.

Collect potatoes

For this you need baskets (according to the number of participants), balls, cubes, marbles - an odd number.

On the playing surface you need to put “potatoes” - balls and so on.

Game process: each participant takes a basket in his hand and, blindfolded, tries to collect as many more"potatoes". The one who collects the most wins.

Crush the ball with your foot

To conduct this competition you will need balloons exactly according to the number of participants. The host of this competition is Grandfather Frost.

In front of the participants playing New Year competitions, balloons are placed at a distance of several steps. At a signal from Santa Claus, each participant must crush his ball with his foot. The one who crushes the ball the fastest wins.

Answer questions in unison

A game of attention. You need to answer in unison - yes or no.
Everyone knows Santa Claus, right?
He comes promptly at seven, right?
Santa Claus is a good sorcerer, right?
Wears a tie and galoshes, right?
Grandfather will come soon, right?

Well, the questions have been answered,
You all know about Santa Claus.
And this means that the time has come,
Which the kids are looking forward to.
Let's call Santa Claus!

Catch a snowball

Two teams take part in this competition. One child on each team is given an empty bag, which he must hold wide open. Each team has a supply of paper snowballs. At the leader’s signal, everyone throws snowballs into the bag, and the rest of the partners also help, while trying to catch them. The team that manages to collect the most snowballs wins.

Melt the ice

To play this game you will need to take ice cubes. Each participant in the competition must take a piece and melt it. The person who does it first wins.

Great Wizard

Ropes will be required (according to the number of participants).

The host of this competition is Grandfather Frost.

The essence of the game is that participants playing competitions for the New Year have their hands tied behind their backs with a rope. At a signal from Santa Claus, they try to untie the ropes. The first one to free himself wins.

Knights

You will need: two chess officers and two artificial swords made of foam rubber or rubber.

A chess piece is placed on the edge of the table.

Participants are located a few steps away from the table. At the leader’s signal, they must lunge with a sword and prick the figure. The one who does it first wins.

Christmas decorations

The kids and I will play an interesting game:
I’ll tell the guys what they use to decorate the Christmas tree.
Listen carefully, be sure to answer,
If we tell you the truth, shout “Yes!” in response,
Well, if it’s suddenly not true, feel free to say “No!”
- And garlands and firecrackers?
- And mattresses and pillows?
- Blankets and cribs?
- Tangerines, chocolates?
- Are the stars made of glass?
- Wooden shelves?
- Snowball made of white cotton wool?
- Backpacks, briefcases?
- Are the cones silvery?
- Are the stars radiant?

Unlike theme songs and dances, they do not require special training, but will decorate any matinee. I offer a selection of games and attractions for the winter and New Year holidays in kindergarten.

Game "Two Frosts"

Two “houses” are marked on opposite sides of the hall (you can mark them with flags). Players choose two Frosts: Frost - red nose and Frost - blue nose. It gets cold in the middle, and the rest of the players are on one side of the court behind the home line.

Both Frosts (address the guys with the words:

We are two young brothers,

Two Frosts are daring.

2nd Santa Claus. I am Frost - blue nose.

Together. Which one of you will decide

Set off on a path?

All players. We are not afraid of threats

And we are not afraid of Frost!

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 neighbor’s head, and so on in a circle. At the command of Santa Claus (clap, whistle, blow with a staff), the movement stops, and the one who still has the hat on at that moment must dance, sing or tell winter poem, proverb, ask a riddle.

The most dexterous

Father Frost and Snow Maiden (or other characters according to the script) are holding in their hand a hoop entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. Cotton balls (“snowballs”) are poured onto the floor. Children, at the heroes' command, throw lumps into the hoops, then count the number of hits in Santa Claus's hoop and in the Snow Maiden's hoop.

Decorate the Christmas tree

Musical carousel

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.

Catch up with felt boots

Children stand in a circle and are given felt boots in their hands. Children pass felt boots around in a circle to cheerful music, and Santa Claus tries to catch up with him. Children need to hand over the felt boots very quickly so that Santa Claus cannot take it away.

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.

Carry it in a bag

A bag is placed in front of the tree (it is partitioned into 2 parts, one of them has no bottom). Santa Claus calls children who want to ride in a sack. 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.

New Year is a holiday that absolutely all children look forward to. Because miracles happen, your most cherished dreams come true, and every moment literally breathes magic. Before the main celebration of the year, teachers in kindergartens and schools prepare a New Year's scenario, with interesting entertainment, outdoor games, etc. This article will help you choose the most best competitions for children for the New Year 2018, so that all kids, without exception, have fun and interesting.

Before the celebration

The holiday for children will begin from the moment of arrival! Hang a white piece of Whatman paper near the entrance with the following written on top: Happy New Year 2018! and place colored pencils or markers nearby. Let each child who comes to the celebration draw on a piece of paper whatever he or she wants: a Christmas tree, a snowflake, Santa Claus, or write their own congratulations on the holiday. This creative task will help set the children up for a festive and creative mood and improve their mood before the celebration.

Another simple task that you can give the kids before the main part of the evening is to ask them to be designers. Cut out many different snowflakes and figures from paper and invite the children to hang them around the room however they want. Knowing that they took part in will enhance the children's enjoyment of being there.

Let's make the Dog laugh

For the first one for children for the New Year 2018, ask one of the children (or one of your assistants, if any) to be the symbol of the year - a dog. The dog saw with her own eyes how evil gray wolf kidnapped the Snow Maiden. He would really like to tell the kids where the villain took the girl, but the Gray Wolf said that he would eat Petya if she betrayed him. Let the children cheer up the sad and frightened bird and help it stop being afraid of the Wolf! Then the dog will certainly tell you where the Snow Maiden was hidden.

Kids can make the symbol of the year laugh in any way: making faces, singing, dancing, telling jokes. You can divide the children into two teams to make it easier to choose a winner.

Do not forget that when carrying out entertaining games with children you have to show all your acting skills. Speak cheerfully, motivating the guys to action: “Guys, we need to save the Snow Maiden! Let's make the dog laugh so that he stops being afraid of the evil wolf!

So, now the children know where the Wolf hid the Snow Maiden. It's a small matter - you just need to find the girl and save her from the clutches of the kidnapper. The Snow Maiden, of course, is hidden very far away, behind forests, fields, mountains and seas, and in order to rescue her, you need to fly this huge distance, and our little rescuers will fly on brooms, which the kindly grandmother Yaga kindly lent them.

Divide the children into two teams, give each a broom, and indicate how far they need to “fly”. You can create a whole obstacle course to make flying on a broom more difficult, if the size of the room allows it. The group that completes the task faster wins.

Interesting entertainment

Salikhova Elena Nikolaevna, music director of kindergarten No. 89 “Golden Grains”, Sevastopol.
Contents of the work. Three mass New Year's games are offered to the attention of readers. These games are designed for New Year's parties held with children of the senior and preparatory groups. These games are best played with a large number of children, at least twelve to fifteen people. Then they will have fun, and the children will receive that very portion positive emotions, which you are counting on. You can understand how these games “work” by reading my New Year’s scenarios posted on the “Pantry of Entertainment” website.
Purpose of the game material. First of all, these games may be of interest to music directors working with the age category of six to seven years, no younger. They will be appropriate for winter holidays and entertainment in kindergarten and junior school. They can also be used during winter celebrations in various open areas.
Target: Creating a cheerful, joyful mood among children present at the holiday.
Tasks:
Active participation of each child in the festive action.
Free expression of children's positive emotions.
Children's creative use of their knowledge in a relaxed playful atmosphere.

Game "Tell me how you live?"
This game was developed by me directly for the New Year's Guests scenario. But it can be used on any children's party, where fun and jokes are expected. No attributes are required to play this game. It is carried out by two adult characters participating in a children's party. It could be Winter and Father Frost, Snow Maiden and Father Frost, Snow Maiden and Winter, two Buffoons and so on. The words of the game must be pronounced clearly and clearly by each character in turn. The second character does everything the children are supposed to do and say. This will be a kind of hint for children. An option is possible when one character says all the words, and the other, together with the children, performs all the game actions. In addition to the purely gaming component, the value of this game is that it can be a prologue to a surprise gift presentation.

Progress of the game.
First character: Are we going to play with the guys today?
Second character: Certainly! How can we not play? I suggest playing the game “How are you living?”
First character: Then we start asking the guys questions, and let them answer them, not only with words, but also with gestures.
The game "Tell me how you live?" The holiday characters ask questions one by one.
How are you guys living? Children: Great! Extend your right hand forward with your thumb up.
How do you guys chew? Children: Hrum, crunch, crunch, crunch!
How are you guys playing pranks? Children: La - la - la! La - la - la! At the same time, they raise their arms bent at the elbows with their fingers spread and jump around themselves.

Show me how you threaten? Children: But - but - but! Swing up index finger.
Show me how you go? Children: One, two! One, two! They walk in place.
How are you drinking water, kids? Children throw back their heads, bring two hands to their mouths and make a sucking movement with their lips.
How do you kids cry? Children rub their fists in their eyes and whine.
How do you jump for joy? Children jump on the spot.
How quietly are you standing? Children: Shh-h-h! Place your index finger on your lips.
And show me “Goodbye”! Children: Goodbye! They wave their hand. At this time, the characters pretend that they are about to leave. They wave goodbye to the children. One of the adults detains them at the holiday. If, on the contrary, the characters need to leave, then they have the opportunity to leave quietly.
Note. It’s okay if the children, in response to the character’s question, make another, appropriate gesture, or say their own line. This will express their spontaneity and creativity. There is no need to stop the game or reprimand the children because of this. This can ruin the festive mood not only to this child, but also to everyone present.

Game "Fun workout"
I composed this game for the annual regional winter festival. Each kindergarten exhibited its fairy-tale characters to participate in this holiday. They should have come with their original game. Before the performance, all the characters demonstrated to the professional commission what games were included in their performances. We didn't want our artists to have to blush for the fact that their games coincided with anyone else. Therefore, I decided to compose my own game. Since the game was supposed to be played with a very large number of children, I immediately excluded the paraphernalia.
The game is played by one or two characters invited to the party. IN in this case these were two Skomorokhs. One character shouts out the words and the other says the words and performs the actions with the children. If the game is played by one character, then he must both speak words and perform actions according to the content of the game.
Progress of the game.
Characters:
And now we kids
We invite you to the game.
To make it more interesting,
We will do everything together.
Let a fun warm-up make us friends.
We are doing a fun workout for you!
Children perform actions based on the content of the “Warm-up”.
Let's drown everything together.
Now let's clap!
Let's wave our wings. They wave with both hands.
Let's dance like bunnies. They jump on two legs.

Let's crow the cockerels.
Let's stand on one leg. Stand on one leg, arms to the sides.

We moo like cows.
Let's meow like cats.

And the little mice: pi - pi - pi!
They hid from the cat! Squat down.

We'll stretch our necks.
Who has it longer? They stand up and stretch their necks.

Everything is like geese: ha – ha – ha!
Are we having fun? Children: yes, yes, yes!
We don't stand, we run. Run in place.
We play pranks like monkeys. Spread your fingers and bend over
from side to side.

We want to scare everyone.
Let's roar like little tigers! They growl loudly: r - r - r - r - r!

We don't stand still
Together, we run merrily. Run in place.

We clap our hands! They clap.
We stomp very loudly! They stomp.

Together we will shout: hurray! They jump up and down and scream.
It's time to end the fun warm-up!

Note. This game can be played at any public holiday - celebration. For example, on Maslenitsa or Preschool Worker's Day. Can be done both outdoors and indoors.

Game "Magic Snowflakes"
I came up with this game to play at the New Year's party in the preparatory group. It has a narrower purpose. Designed for children preparatory group. It can be done with older children if they can read and form words independently. The game is played by Grandfather Frost.

To play, you will need double-sided paper snowflakes. Some of them have quite brightly written letters. The letters of one word must be written in the same color. But each word should have its own color scheme. Snowflakes are laid out in advance under the Christmas tree or on its branches with letters down before the start of the holiday.

Progress of the game.
Father Frost: Oh, what a lot of snow there is!
There are even snowflakes on your Christmas tree. Do you want to play with them?
Presenter: Of course we do, Grandfather Frost!
Father Frost: But first I'll do a little magic.
Santa Claus walks around the Christmas tree, waving his staff.
Father Frost:
Snowflakes are fluffs, messengers of Winter,
Become magical for our game.
It seems that it worked.
Let the music sound more fun
Start the game quickly!
Cheerful music sounds, children run up to the Christmas tree, take any Snowflake and run around the hall with it.

Father Frost:
It's time for the Snowflakes to go to sleep.
It's time for them to cover the ground. All children squat.
Father Frost:
The wind blew stronger
Scatter, hurry up. The children are running around the hall again.
Father Frost:
Spin around more fun
Near your Christmas tree. Children pick up snowflakes and spin around them.
Father Frost:
Now we'll find out who's quicker
He will be able to collect words faster.

Children quickly find a place to make up the words: SNOW and WINTER. They stand in front of the Christmas tree facing the guests and show their WORD.
Children whose snowflakes do not have letters on them gather in the “Sugrob”. They run up to each other, squat on one knee and move their hand with the snowflake to the side.
Father Frost: Thank you, dear grandchildren. Take these snowflakes as a gift.
The children run away and put the snowflake under their chair to take with them at the end of the holiday.
Note. This game can only be played if it is first practiced with children. The surprise is that the children do not know which Snowflake (with or without a letter) they will get. The words for compilation were not taken by chance. None of the letters in the words WINTER and SNOW are repeated. In addition, it is immediately clear, without prompting, which word should be composed. This is a very important point. If you want to take other words for children to compose, you need to pay attention to this.
I wish everyone who wants to use the games I have developed in their work, that they help create real fun and a joyful mood at your holiday

The Snow Maiden and the Old Boletus Man appear in the hall.

Old Boletus Man: I brought Snow Maiden to you. She was sitting in a snowdrift in a deep forest and didn’t know where to go. For some reason, the Snow Maiden doesn’t recognize anyone.

Leading: Sorry for our Snow Maiden! And who are you, grandpa? Mushroom?

Old Boletus Man: I am not a mushroom, I am a forester, the owner of the forest.

Leading: Thank you, kind old man, for not abandoning our Snow Maiden in the forest! But when will Grandfather Frost come? Only he can disenchant the Snow Maiden!

After the dance, Santa Claus enters the hall.

Father Frost: Hello children, adults and animals! Here I come! Almost there! How many guests gathered for the holiday! And the kids, how smart they are! I wish you all a Happy New Year!.. Oh, and I’m tired! I would like to sit down and rest from the road. I have become too old for long journeys. Tired...

Leading (pulls out a chair for Santa Claus): Here's a chair for you, Santa Claus. Sit down and relax! We have prepared a gift for you! ( Gives Santa Claus a bag of gifts).

Chanterelle: Grandfather Frost! We've had a misfortune!

little hare: Only you can help us out!

Father Frost: What kind of trouble happened to you?

Little squirrel (leads Snow Maiden to Santa Claus): Your granddaughter, Snow Maiden, has been bewitched by the evil Baba Yaga!

Father Frost: This matter can be fixed! Look! I will now touch the Snow Maiden with my magic staff, and she will come to life! ( Touches the Snow Maiden).

Snow Maiden: Thank you, Santa Claus, for saving me! Thank you guys and animals for not leaving me in trouble! I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! Oh, Grandfather Frost, our Christmas tree is still not lit!

Father Frost: Now we will all light it up together! Come on, kids, let's shout loudly: “One, two, three, Christmas tree, burn!”

The most fragrant...
The Christmas tree smells like that -
Mom will gasp immediately!

You will see our Christmas tree.
Our tree is tall
Reaches to the ceiling.
And there are toys hanging on it -

Santa Claus sent us a Christmas tree,
He lit the lights on it.
And the needles shine on it,
And there’s snow on the branches!

Stars, balls, firecrackers.
And then the guests were invited
And they danced at the Christmas tree!

The holiday is approaching.
New Year's at the gates
The Christmas tree is waiting for the kids.

Father Frost: And now, guys, let's sing a song for our New Year tree. Children, get up in a round dance!

The guys sing the song “A Christmas tree was born in the forest...”.
Baba Yaga and the Red Cat appear in the hall.

Baba Yaga (turning to the Red cat and pulling him along): Let's go, let's go! Let's ask you to forgive us and leave us at the holiday! ( Addresses Santa Claus): Santa Claus, forgive us! ( Addresses children): Guys, forgive us! We will no longer be harmful and deceive! Welcome us to the holiday!

Ginger cat: Forgive us! We won't do this again! Let us stay at the matinee! We will be kind and we will behave! We promise!

Baba Yaga and the Red Cat (in unison): Forgive us!

Father Frost (addressing children): Well, children? Shall we forgive Baba Yaga and the Red Cat?

Children: Yes!

Father Frost (addressing Baba Yaga and the Red Cat): Okay, stay! Celebrate the holiday with us! Rejoice from your heart! Just forget about evil deeds and pranks!

Baba Yaga: We promise not to do evil! We will play with you, sing songs and dance!

Santa Claus carries out the relay race « Who's first?».

The winners are the participants who managed to reach the finish line first. At the end of it, Santa Claus rewards the winners with delicious prizes.

Father Frost: Guys, do you know poems about winter? Storytellers, come forward!

Children recite poems about winter.

Child 1:
Mother! look from the window -
You know, yesterday it was not for nothing that a cat
Wash your nose:
There is no dirt, the whole yard is covered,
It has brightened, it has turned white -
Apparently there is frost.
Nikolay Nekrasov
The snowball is fluttering, spinning,
It's white outside.
And puddles turned
In cold glass.

Child 2:
Our windows are brushed white
Santa Claus painted.
He dressed the pole with snow,
The garden was covered in snow.

Child 3:
There is snow everywhere, houses in the snow -
Winter brought him.
She hurried to us quickly,
She brought us bullfinches.

Father Frost: Well done, kids! Wonderful poems told! And now it's time for me to give gifts to all of you. Look how big my bag of gifts is! Come to me guys and get gifts!

Father Frost and Snow Maiden distribute gifts.

Father Frost: Well, guys, it's time for us to say goodbye! I need to go out and please other people with gifts. We will definitely meet you at next year. See you later, friends! Goodbye! Happy New Year!

Snow Maiden: Happy New Year! I wish you health and happiness in the New Year! Snowman: Happy New Year, dear friends! Let misfortunes pass you by!

Baba Yaga: Both I and I want to wish the children a Happy New Year! Happy New Year, guys! Be kind, honest and smart! Just like me and the Red Cat! Oh, no, not like us, but like Father Frost and the Snow Maiden!

Father Frost and Snow Maiden: Goodbye, friends! See you again!

Poems for the New Year's party in kindergarten for the older group

For children from the older group, it is not a problem to learn not one, but several rhymes. Therefore, it would be appropriate to introduce New Year's scenario a story about small gifts from Santa Claus to the children who told him an interesting, funny or the biggest poem.

What kind of guest came to us,
Did you bring the smell of pine needles?
And there are lights and garlands on it.
How elegant she is!
Comes to us with her
Winter holiday New Year!

Hello, forest Christmas tree,
Silvery, thick!
You grew up under the sun
And she came to us for the holiday!

You dressed up amazingly
So elegant, so beautiful!
All covered in toys, lanterns,
Gilding and lights!

You came to the joy of the children,
We will celebrate the New Year with you!
Let's start a song together,
Let's dance merrily!

We have been waiting for this day for a long time,
Haven't seen each other for a whole year.
Sing, ring with crafts
New Year's round dance!

The Christmas tree is lit with lights,
There are blue shadows underneath,
Spiny needles
They burn, sparkle with frost!

Multi-colored toys
She hung it up for us.
And everyone is looking at the Christmas tree,
And everyone has fun today!

Well decorated, well dressed
The Christmas tree is resinous, slender, fragrant!
We will dance in a circle,
We will all sing the song
Choral, loud, dancing, ringing!

Snow, snow, snow, snow
Shedding branches.
On a birch, on a pine
Snow candies!
And on our Christmas tree
The snow is not real
But the same as in the forest -
White and crispy!
Santa Claus came to us,
Dancing with us!
How good it is for everyone on our Christmas tree!

Santa Claus, quite a joker,
Leads a star round dance!
Looks and everything is smart
A snow spark will remove it!
Santa Claus, Santa Claus!
It's good that you brought it
To kindergarten today
New Year's holiday!

Christmas tree, Christmas tree, Christmas tree,
prickly needle,
Where did you grow up?
- In the forest!
- What did you see?
- Fox!
- What's in the forest?
- Frosts, bare birches,
Wolves and bears -
That's all the neighbors...
- And here on New Year’s Eve
Everyone sings a song!

White trees
White houses,
Along the white paths
Winter has come to us.

I'm not afraid of frost
I'll just make friends with him.
I'll get dressed and go
Both on snow and ice.
The frost will come to me,
He touches his hands, touches his nose.
So, you must not yawn,
Run, jump and play.

On New Year's Eve, like in a fairy tale,
Full of miracles
The Christmas tree is hurrying to catch the train,
Leaving the dark forest.
Wherever you look -
All the snowdrifts and hills,
Well, is there a better time?
Winter beauties?

Songs for the New Year's party in kindergarten for the older group

The New Year's round dance is an invariable attribute of the festival. In addition, older children can sing excerpts of songs solo, which will be appropriate in small New Year’s skits.

Christmas tree
(Music: Popatenko T. Lyrics: Naydenova N.)

Beads glitter on the Christmas tree,
Firecrackers and star.
We love our Christmas tree -
Yes, yes, yes.

Snow Maiden in a white fur coat
He always comes to us.
We sing and dance with her -
Yes, yes, yes.

And Santa Claus is cheerful -
Gray beard -
Brings us gifts -
Yes, yes, yes!

Father Frost

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
I brought a Christmas tree for the children,
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
I brought a Christmas tree for the children,
And there are lanterns on it,
Golden balls.
And there are lanterns on it,
Golden balls.

Santa Claus, Santa Claus
I brought sweets for the kids.
Santa Claus, Santa Claus
I brought sweets for the kids.
Flavored waffles
And mints.
Flavored waffles
And mints.

New Year's round dance
(Music: Filippenko A. Words: Volgina T.)

Our Christmas tree is beautiful,
She really likes toys.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
She really likes toys!

The lights on the branches are different -
Both green and red.
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
Both green and red!

The Christmas tree hung its branches,
She's having fun today too!
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!
She's having fun today too!

Small and playful ditties- nursery rhymes performed by the children will be a wonderful New Year's gift for parents. Children will easily remember the words and motive of funny songs. A room with ditties can be decorated as a small New Year's scene or a surprise for Santa Claus.

Oh, my darlings
Bullfinches, titmouses!
I made you a feeder -
Help yourself, birds.

Oh, and Frost is pinching,
Old bully.
On Irishka's cheeks
Two poppies bloomed.

Oh, winter, winter, winter,
How many snowdrifts she made!
The people are not sad -
Celebrates the New Year!

From pure, new snowflakes
I'm making a Snow Maiden.
And I won’t leave him in the spring -
I'll put it in the freezer!

We are all our own toys
We decorated the Christmas tree.
She doesn't have any free time
Not a single needle!

There is noise and laughter in our hall,
The singing doesn't stop.
Our Christmas tree is the best!
There is no doubt about it.

Our Santa Claus with a beard,
With a lush mustache,
But, as a young guy,
Dancing with us.

Santa Claus, take the bag,
Untie the strings.
And get it for us quickly
Fashionable new things!

I make myself a mask
We must try -
I want Snow Maiden-Tane
Confess your love to her!

I danced and danced
And, dancing, she lost her way.
Santa Claus is so good
I fell in love with him!

Oh, thank you, Santa Claus,
For your gifts
We'll kiss you
You'll be hot!

You can invite not only Santa Claus to this game; it will be much more fun when a colorful character plays in it - Baba Yaga or the cunning Fox.

• A chair is placed in front of the Christmas tree.
• Santa Claus and the child stand on either side of the chair, preparing to run in opposite directions.
• At the command of the Presenter, to the music, two players quickly run around the Christmas tree.
• After running around the tree once, they return from the other side and sit on a chair.

To make it more interesting, Santa Claus can improvise:

• On the Leader’s command, do not run, but simply sit on a chair and wait for the child. When the child comes running, the chair is already occupied;
• Start running around the Christmas tree, taking a chair with you (hold the chair with your hands in front so that the child can see this chair).
• Run after the child, jokingly trying to overtake him.
  Pick up the child in your arms (taking him under your arm), and run with him.
• Start running around the tree, taking a chair with you (hold the chair with your hands, it is located behind). When the child and Santa Claus run to the place where there should be a chair, they are surprised that there is no chair - they begin to look for it (the chair is not visible behind Santa Claus’s fur coat).
  The game is played 2-3 times.

Sing, play and dance.

Chew right with the candy wrapper.
I love sledding
So that the wind whistles...
I'm inside out today
I put on a warm fur coat.
I solved riddles
AND received gifts,
I ate a lot of sweet apples,
I haven't been bored for a minute!
Both girls and boys
They quickly run into a round dance,
And the fluffy bunnies
They sleep under a Christmas tree in the snow.
So our feet danced
The floor even started to creak
And in the forest in his den
The bear fell asleep until spring.
Our Christmas tree is covered in toys.
Oh, what beauty!
The firecracker slammed loudly,
But inside she is empty.
This holiday is New Year's
I will never forget.
I've been composing all day today -
It turned out to be nonsense!

Snowball -competition for New Year 2016

A game to “buy back” gifts from Santa Claus’s bag. All guests sit in a circle and pass a “snowball” (ball or paper ball) along the chain. At the same time, Santa Claus says:

“We’re rolling a snowball,

We count to five -

One, two, three, four, five -

Or, for example:

Sing a song for you...

Dance for you...

Let me tell you a riddle...

The one on whom the snowball landed completes the task, receives a gift from Santa Claus's bag and leaves the circle. And the game continues until all the guests receive the long-awaited prizes.

Decorate the Christmas tree

For the competition you need two small artificial Christmas trees. Two players are selected, each receiving a fishing rod with a hook at the end. Homemade Christmas tree decorations and toys are laid out in front of him. Task: hook the toy on a fishing rod and hang it carefully on the Christmas tree. The one who decorates the Christmas tree the fastest wins. In addition, the other guests should also appreciate how beautifully the Christmas tree is decorated.

Balls

Several participants are selected and each of them receives a ball. He must place it in front of him. Then the presenter blindfolds everyone and gives the command to crush the ball with their feet. It turns out very funny: after all, the guests do not see the balls, and they constantly slip away and fly away to the sides.

Collect snowballs -competition for the New Year 2016

Each participant receives a small bucket or basket. The presenter blindfolds everyone and places “snowballs” (balls, small balls or lumps of paper) around. On command, blindfolded, you need to collect as many snowballs as possible into a bucket. When all the snowballs have been collected, the participants are untied and asked to count their snowballs. The one with the most snowballs wins the main prize.

The Great Houdini

The presenter ties each participant's hands behind their backs with small ropes. You need to knit it loosely, like a bow. The task is to release your hands on command. The one who manages to do this faster than others wins.

New Year's turnip -competition for New Year 2016

Participants are invited to dramatize the well-known fairy tale about the turnip. You need to choose 7 characters, each of whom must perform their own actions while the presenter tells the story. As soon as the presenter names the character, he does what is intended.

Turnip - hits his knees with his hands, claps his hands and shouts: “Both-on!”

Grandfather rubs his hands: “Well, well, well...”

Grandmother threatens grandfather with her fist and says: “I would kill him!”

The granddaughter shrugs her shoulders coquettishly: “What? I'm ready!"

Bug - scratches behind the ear: “I'm tired of fleas!”

The cat says a drawn out “Meow!”

The mouse shakes its head and squeaks: “We’ve finished the game!”

Alphabet toasts

Guests are invited to take turns making a toast - a wish for the New Year so that the words of each subsequent guest begin in alphabetical order. For example: “I am absolutely sure that the people gathered here best company, for which I offer you a drink!”, “I’ll be brief and wish...”, “I want to tell everyone...”.
