To make the New Year noisy and fun, prepare for the holiday in advance. Catch a selection of funny contests that will definitely stir up both large and small companies
Toast blanks
We all know that the eloquence of guests at the holiday increases in direct proportion to the amount of drink. And at the very beginning of the party, it is almost impossible to persuade someone to toast. Simplify (although actually complicate) the task and prepare small pieces for toast. To do this, you need to write 3-4 words on pieces of paper that are not related to each other, this may be all that your imagination tells you. For example, “police, kangaroo, saucepan, lambada” or “switch, Olivier, dump truck, lens”.
Hide the blanks in a bag and occasionally bring it to party participants. The task of the guest who pulled out the sheet is to tie all the words into one or more sentences that can be ended with a toast. For example, “Yesterday the police caught a kangaroo, put a saucepan on his head and danced lambada with him. Let there be more kangaroos on the streets in the new year, so that the police have something to do, and we have something to laugh with. " At the end of the party, you can choose the funniest improvisation and give it to the author with a small present.
Psychological test
You need to take this competition as seriously as possible and announce to the guests that you will now conduct a psychological test. Distribute paper and a pen to each, ask them to divide the sheet into four parts and put a letter in each part: top left "F", top right "O", bottom left "P", bottom right "P". Now, in each part, the party participants must write any one animal and three of its characteristics. For example: the penguin is important, clumsy, gluttonous. Or a rabbit - fast, fearful, nervous. Ask for the description to refer specifically to the nature of the animal, not color or size.
There should be four animals on the piece of paper - one for each letter. When all guests have completed the task, announce the test results. Each animal characterizes a person in certain areas. The letter "Ж" - what a person is like in life. The letter "O" - what he is in a relationship. The letter "P" - what he looks like in bed. The letter "R" - how it behaves in work. Let each of the guests read out what they have done. Believe me, the combinations will be very unexpected.
Sincere confession
This competition must be prepared in advance. Write a variety of actions on separate pieces of paper. The more ridiculous and unusual these actions are, the funnier the result will be. For example, you can write: I eat at night, throw tantrums, put out my brains, sing songs in the shower, undress under music, pestering girls, kissing a stranger, looking for adventure, picking my nose, spending money and so on like that.
Hide the notes in the bag and approach the party participant with the question "How do you do this?" He must answer quickly and without hesitation, and then pull out the note. Often, very interesting combinations are obtained, for example, "I can handle my brains professionally," "I eat swiftly at night," or "I seriously pick my nose."
Remember all
This competition will train both memory and imagination. Sitting at the festive table, invite all the guests of the party to come up with a nickname and a characteristic gesture that will be his "calling card". It can be the Terrible Tiger who grins his teeth, the Mad Hatter who twirls his finger to his temple, Pepa Pig who grunts, and so on. The host is introduced first. The second participant of the feast must repeat the pseudonym and gesture of the leader and add his own. The third one repeats the first two and adds his own. The fourth repeats after three and also adds his own. Anyone who is confused or forgot to name one of the guests drops out of the game and says a toast.
If there are few participants, and the circle quickly ended, you need to come up with a second action to the pseudonym, and start the second circle. By the third round, there will be such a jumble of gestures and sounds at the table that it will be difficult to refrain from laughing.
Don't tell the truth
The task of the host for this competition is to prepare as many simple and primitive questions as possible. It can be like a New Year's theme (What's on the top of the tree? Who brings gifts for the new year? Whom are they molded out of snow in winter? Who comes with Santa Claus?) And any other questions. The main thing is that the answer to them is obvious to every party participant. The moderator takes turns asking questions to all guests, and they must answer very quickly and at the same time, in no case tell the truth. For example, to the question "What's on the top of the tree?" you need to answer not "Star", but, for example, "Behemoth" or "Olivier".
The faster the pace of the game, the more fun and unexpected the answers will be. At the same time, it is necessary to prepare a punishment for the one who lets it slip and accidentally answers correctly. For example, the loser must stuff his mouth with tangerines and try to pronounce some kind of tongue twister. Alternatively, you can fulfill the wishes of the rest of the guests or shout something like "From March 8th!" From the balcony three times!
