Round dances
By complicating the traditional New Year's round dance, you can make it more entertaining, you just need to use your imagination. So, for example, the leader can change the pace of movement or its direction and generally set the tone for the round dance. You can first make a couple of traditional circles, and then maneuver like a snake between the furniture and guests. According to the decision of the leader, those who are not participating in it can be included in the round dance, or the pace can be sharply slowed down or, on the contrary, accelerated, the round dance can be performed on one leg, jumping on two, on the command to sit down sharply, etc.
Decorate the Christmas tree
For the competition you will need two artificial trees (there are never too many Christmas trees for the New Year), which are installed in the festive hall.
The Snow Maiden says: “Soon the chimes will announce the beginning of the New Year, and the festive fir trees stand without their festive attire. There must be nimble guests in the hall who can quickly decorate the Christmas trees?”
5-6 steps from the fir trees, unbreakable toys (rain, tinsel, toys made of papier-mâché or cardboard, clay and thread) are laid out on the tables. But to complicate the task, Snegurochka declares: “Unfortunately, there was a short circuit, so we will have to decorate the Christmas trees in the dark.” “Darkness” is arranged artificially by blindfolding the participants. It is quite possible that with their eyes closed, participants may lose their bearings and mistakenly hang the toys on the wrong tree. No matter how the decoration process occurs, the winner is the one who has the most elegant tree.
Toy in a circle
Santa Claus sends an invitation to the holiday participants to form a circle. To the sound of music, for example, a doll depicting the Snow Maiden moves, passing hands in a circle. As soon as the music stops, the transfer of the doll stops. Whoever still has the toy Snow Maiden in his hands leaves the circle. The game continues until one participant remains. If the circle consists of a large number of players, then you can throw several toys around the circle.
Compliments to the Snow Maiden
A young man is called to the center and Santa Claus hands him an apple with matches stuck in close rows. The young man must, taking out a match, pay a compliment to the Snow Maiden. The apple should lose all its matches, and the Snow Maiden should be showered with compliments.
Snowballs
Place (hang) the basket on the floor. Participants in the competition are given 6 “snowballs” (white tennis balls); they must fall into the basket from a certain distance. The most accurate thrower is declared the winner.
Fluffy snowflakes
For the competition you need to make light snowflakes from cotton wool. The Snow Maiden distributes snowflakes to the participants, who, having tossed their snowflake, must use artificial wind (simply blow) to keep it in the air for as long as possible. Whoever's fluffy snowflake has fallen can help his opponent hold it, thus pleasing the Snow Maiden and completing her task.
Magic words
This game is played by the Snow Maiden. She selects 20 participants, who are divided into two equal teams. Each team is given a set of large letters, from which the word “Snow Maiden” is composed. Each team player takes one letter. Next, the Snow Maiden reads a story in which there are words consisting of these letters. When pronouncing such a word, the owners of the letters included in it must come out and quickly build the word. The team that composes the word faster is awarded a point. Then, based on the number of points received, the winner is determined.
Sample story:
How nice it is in winter, the fast river is covered with ice. Snow fell on the spacious fields. Behind the village the mountain turned white. The bark on the trees sparkles with frost. The creaking sound of sled runners can be heard. At what distance do they keep their course?
Centipede racing
A sufficiently spacious room is required to conduct these races. Two teams are created, the participants of each line up (looking at the back of each other’s heads), and the player in front is taken by the belt with their hands. A chair is placed on the opposite side of the hall, so that it can be walked around. The created chain should reach the chair, go around it and come back. If someone opens their hands, the team where this happened can be counted defeated by the leader. You can complicate the competition or make it more spectacular in the following way: by forcing the teams to squat or by giving a simultaneous start for both teams, in which case they will also have to get ahead of the opponent in order to be the first to get around the chair. One of the variants of this game is “Snake”. It can be held after the races and by combining teams into one. The first player in the column is the “head”, the task of the “head” is to catch the “tail” (respectively, the last one in the column), which is trying to escape from it. Having caught the “tail”, the “head” becomes it and takes its place at the end of the column. And the “tail” that comes off is considered a loser and leaves the game.
Two Frosts
To play you need 2 Santa Clauses, so first you need to choose two participants (put red hats on them). The remaining participants in the game stand behind a conventional line at the end of the room.
Frosts (drivers) stand in the middle of the room and say to the other participants:
We are two young brothers, (Together): Two daring frosts.
- I am Frost the red nose.
- I am Frost the blue nose.
Which one of you will decide
Set off on a path?
What do the guys answer:
- We are not afraid of threats, and we are not afraid of frost!
After the words, the players run to the other side of the room beyond the “home” line. Frosts chase those running across, catch them and “freeze” them. Anyone who is frozen remains in place and does not move. When everyone except the “frozen” ones has run across, the Frosts repeat their speech, having received an answer, the players again run to the opposite side along the way to “unfreeze” their friends, for which they simply need to touch them with their hand. The rescued friends join. Game continues.
Auction
The auction is led by Santa Claus, who says:
What a wonderful Christmas tree in our hall. And what beautiful toys it is decorated with! What Christmas tree decorations do you know? Name them! This amazing prize will go to the person whose answer is the last.
Players take turns calling names. Santa Claus slowly counts between pauses: “Clapperboard - one, firecracker - two...”. And so on, the auction continues until the options for the names of Christmas tree decorations run out, and Santa Claus says: “... cracker - three! Won!
Prank game
Santa Claus declares to the assembled guests that they are not able to repeat after him three short simple phrases. Those present, of course, do not agree with him. Thinking, as if coming up with complex words, Santa Claus pronounces a phrase of 3-4 words. For example: “It’s winter outside.” Those present repeat it without any problems. What makes Santa Claus embarrassed, he begins to mutter under his breath, as if looking for a complex verbal option, and hesitantly pronounces the second phrase, for example: “Today is a glorious evening.” This phrase is also easily repeated by everyone. And at this moment, Santa Claus solemnly says: “You’re wrong!” The players protest. To which Santa Claus explains that the phrase: “You’re wrong!” was the third in a row, which they were unable to repeat after him.
Two are better than one
Three toys (ball, pin, cube) are placed on the floor in the middle of the room. For the game, two participants are called and begin to dance near the toys (the game can be played with musical accompaniment). At the end of the music (or at the command of Santa Claus: “Stop!”, if dancing takes place without music), each participant must take possession of two toys. The player who manages to grab one toy is considered a loser. If desired, the game can be complicated as follows: invite more players and offer more toys. Whoever manages to grab the most toys is the winner.
Under a lucky star
This game requires preliminary preparation: write large numbers on cut out paper stars, hang the stars on threads from the ceiling of the room where the festive dances will take place. During the dance, the music suddenly stops and Santa Claus announces: “Lucky star - 13!” Anyone who has just danced carefree must find the star with the announced number at the speed of sound. The first to discover the star is declared the winner and awarded a prize.
Watch your back
The game is for everyone present in the hall. The game can be played by either the Snow Maiden, or Santa Claus, or both in turn. Or rather, not to lead, but to give various commands. Those present in the hall should follow commands only if the word “please” is added to them. So, for example, “Please sit down”, “Hands up!”, “Please applaud”, “Jump in place!” and so on. Commands must be spoken quickly and not given much time to complete them. This way, the game will be more fun and there will be more chances for mistakes. Players who make mistakes leave the game and become simply observers. The last player is awarded a prize and given the title: “The most attentive guest.”

- "Mitten." The children stand in a wide circle and Moroz Ivanovich is launched into the center. The Snow Maiden announces with a chuckle: “Grandfather, you lost your mitten.” The music starts and the participants pass a large mitten to each other, trying to confuse and drive Santa Claus. You can pass the mitten behind your back, squatting to the floor, throwing it across the circle.
- "We decorate the Christmas tree". The host of this competition is Santa Claus. Improvised Christmas trees - two children dressed in green capes prepared in advance (you can pull old green stockings or wide knitted sweaters over the upper half of the body). The participants are children divided into two teams. At the command of the presenter, blindfolded competition participants take Velcro toys (felt mugs, cotton pads, paper figures, beads, etc.) and decorate their team’s Christmas tree with them. Trees can turn and squat, but cannot speak. The winner is the team whose Christmas tree is more successfully decorated based on the applause of the audience.
Cool games for Santa Claus and Snow Maiden with children at home
It is better to start the ideal party 2 hours before the New Year. This way, guests and owners of the house will have time to relax and soak in the magical atmosphere, but at the same time they will not get tired of food, drinks and fun activities even before the chimes. The best way to open a festive celebration is to hold an unexpected surprise competition: it will help unite the company and introduce previously unfamiliar children and their parents. When creating a cool game program for the Snow Maiden and Father Frost at a home New Year's party, it is worth alternating passive entertainment with active ones. This principle applies to both children and adults. Calm competitions can be held simply at the festive table, and cool games for Father Frost and the Snow Maiden with children at home - in the next room, in the hall with music or in the yard (private sector).
What cool games with Santa Claus, Snow Maiden and children can you play at home during the New Year's holiday?
Round dances around a decorated Christmas tree, rhythmic and slow dances, lively theme songs and fairy tales based on roles are the basis of any high-quality New Year's program.

On a note! Did you know that on New Year’s Eve, not only a well-chosen outfit or the right food on the table, but also suitable fun has special magic. For the New Year 2018, it’s definitely worth holding a “Dog Parody” competition. It will entertain children and adults and appease its patron, the Yellow Earth Dog.
The game “Dog Parody” for Father Frost, Snow Maiden and children is the funniest start to New Year’s Eve. To carry it out, it is necessary to prepare in advance cardboard cards with the most popular dog breeds: “poodle”, “bulldog”, “shepherd”, “shar pei”, “chihuahua”, “spaniel”, “pikinese”, “pit bull”, “sembernar”, "husky". The number of children equal to the number of cards can participate in the competition. We invite each Santa Claus player to draw a card and parody the character he comes across. The winner is the most talented actor or the funniest performance in the opinion of the guests and the Snow Maiden.
Simple games for a cheerful Santa Claus with children for a holiday in kindergarten
Young children's knowledge, skills and experience are severely limited. They can’t read yet, they don’t count well, and their coordination and motor skills are somewhat less developed than in adults. But at the same time, children in kindergarten have an incredible and immense desire to move, fool around, have fun and have fun with simple games with Santa Claus at the New Year's holiday. They enjoy repeating the movements of their favorite characters, participate in fun winter relay races, solve simple riddles, and complete team tasks. Not a single matinee is complete without such glorious competitions, and you should select simple games in advance for a cheerful Santa Claus with children for a holiday in kindergarten.
What games for Santa Claus and children to choose for a fun New Year's party in kindergarten
Before you play with Santa Claus at the New Year's party, you will have to call your dear guest carefully. And not just like that, but perky, unusual, interesting. The best way to invite Moroz Ivanovich is to play a short shouting game with the teacher. The presenter must recite three lines from each quatrain, and the children must complete them with the last line “...Grandfather Frost!” Surely the fairytale grandfather will hear such a cheerful cry and rush to the children, grabbing a bag of gifts.

The first and most traditional entertainment for children with Santa Claus at the New Year's party in kindergarten is a round dance around the Christmas tree. But not the simple one, which has long been boring, but slightly modified. So, children can, at the command of their grandfather, walk in a circle, imitating the gait of different forest inhabitants: a timid hare, a cunning fox, a formidable bear, a dangerous wolf, a shy mouse. Or you can dance in a circle, holding each other not by the hand, as in the classic version, but by that part of the body that the Snow Maiden will show: first by the ear, then by the nose, then by the knee, etc.
Interesting competitions for Father Frost and Snow Maiden at school for the New Year 2018

Funny New Year's competitions for the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus and children on the street
On the eve of the most anticipated holiday - the New Year - children are the most enthusiastic. After all, only to them all the magic of the New Year's fairy tale is fully revealed. And the task of parents at this time is to create that very fairy tale for the children through their own efforts. Don’t just buy gifts, decorate the Christmas tree and decorate the house, but think through a whole entertainment program with indoor games and fun New Year’s competitions for the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus and children on the street. Yes, yes, not only in a warm apartment you can have great fun with the good wizard and his cute granddaughter. Sometimes street games in the yard under a huge spruce tree give children much more pleasure and genuine joy.
A selection of New Year's street competitions for children, the Snow Maiden and Santa Claus
But how can you lure the kids into a fun frosty game and start a real New Year's adventure?
- Firstly, you can organize a real Santa Claus draw to assign interesting roles to each child. Of course, you will have to stock up on the necessary attributes in advance (bunny ears, a snowflake cape, a snowman costume, Baba Yaga’s broom and hat, a fox mask, etc.), but the result is worth the effort. Children can take turns approaching Moroz Ivanovich and pulling out a card with a picture of their new image. And then - transform, trying on previously prepared costume elements.
- Secondly, it is worth holding a series of quick and active street competitions, dividing children into teams of the Snow Maiden and Father Frost. Having started jumping races in Santa's sacks or playing tug-of-war with tinsel, participants are unlikely to freeze even in the coldest weather.
On a note! Almost any summer game for a children's relay race can be changed to a winter theme. So, the role of a ball can be played well by a white “snow” globe, and instead of the rest of the equipment, you can use a variety of New Year’s attributes - a Santa Claus hat, bells, a snowman’s carrot nose, plastic snowflakes, snowballs made of cotton wool or polystyrene foam.
- Thirdly, we recommend holding a win-win game, each participant of which will certainly receive a small gift. The most suitable option is “New Year's crocodile”. Unlike the classic version of entertainment, children in this game are divided into 2 teams. Parents prepare a bag of notes in advance (“Christmas tree”, “serpentine”, “fireworks”, “candy”, “snowflake”, etc.), and Santa Claus plays the role of presenter. Participants take out forfeits one by one and show their word with facial expressions and gestures. The first person to guess correctly receives a piece of candy or a small souvenir and is the next to take the piece of paper.
Short street games for adults and Santa Claus for the New Year
New Year's holidays bring even adults back to the bright and carefree time of childhood. During the winter holidays, moms and dads happily build snowmen with their children, entire families slide down the icy mountain, and throw snowballs at their loved ones. And during the New Year's party, adults with the same passion and inspiration take part in short street games with Santa Claus. Such fun allows you to plunge at least a little into the magic and forget about the accumulated problems. And it’s just as easy to amuse an adult group as it is to amuse a group of children.
A selection of fun street games for Santa Claus and adults for the New Year's party at the Christmas tree
Short street games for adults and Santa Claus for the New Year are certainly different from children's. Among them there is no place for primitive riddles, easy relay races and traditional round dances. Men and women 18+ with great pleasure will take part in humorous performances on a New Year's theme, in funny parodies of popular characters, in quick funny competitions with bright paraphernalia and ambiguous subtext. One of the most popular competitions recently is “Everything is the other way around.” He is both active and funny, which means he won’t let you get cold or get bored!
"The game is reversed." The presenter, also known as Father Frost, demonstrates physical exercises accompanied by rhythmic music, and adult guests do the opposite. If grandfather lowers his hands at his sides, the rest raise them. When the grandfather spreads his legs, everyone closes them tightly. If the leader quickly waves from right to left, the others move their hand slowly, from left to right. And when Frost jumps high, guests should crouch low. Whoever makes a mistake is eliminated from the game. The last participant is the winner.
To the touch". This game for adults on the street under the Christmas tree is no less fun and popular. Wearing thick mittens (you can use fishing mittens for ice fishing), blindfolded participants must determine by touch what kind of person is standing in front of them. Guys try to recognize girls, girls, of course, guys.
Funny competitions for Santa Claus and Snow Maiden for corporate events
New Year's corporate parties are so much fun! At such events, management and employees find themselves at the same table, pushing aside all stereotypes and prejudices, trying to say goodbye to the old year as cheerfully as possible and calling on a new one - more successful and fertile. An integral part of New Year's corporate events are Father Frost and the Snow Maiden: they supervise the festive toasts, amuse the guests and actively introduce funny competitions into the bright program of the evening. Moreover, such characters help to defuse the atmosphere and set the right tone for the party from the very beginning. For example, they organize and conduct the beloved game “Gift of Fate”. Rest assured, in such a competition for Father Frost and the Snow Maiden at a corporate party there are no winners or losers. Everyone will be satisfied!
"A gift of fate". At the threshold of the hall where the team celebrates the New Year, they hang a large red bag of Santa Claus. Each invited guest brings an interesting gift to the party and “secretly” puts it in a bag, without signing or leaving any identifying marks. As soon as all the corporate party participants gather, the bag will be filled with gifts. At the height of the evening, Father Frost and the Snow Maiden take turns taking out presents and handing them out to the guests. And whoever gets what is a matter of fate!
But before receiving his gift, the guest must read a poem, standing on a stool, sing a song, perform a magic trick, make the rest of the guests laugh, or perform another task of Santa Claus.

“We are not afraid of threats, and we are not afraid of frost!”
The players run to the other side of the hall beyond the home line. Both Frosts catch and “freeze” those running across. They immediately stop at the place where they were “frozen.” Then the Frosts again turn to the players, and they, having answered, run across the hall, helping out the “frozen”: they touch them with their hand, and they join the others.
Auction.
Santa Claus says:
-
There is a wonderful Christmas tree in our hall. And what toys she has on her! What kind of Christmas tree decorations do you know? This magnificent New Year's gift will be received by the one whose answer is the last.
The players take turns calling out the words. During pauses, the presenter begins to count slowly: “Clapperboard - one, firecracker - two...” The auction continues.
Prank game.
Santa Claus announces to the audience that none of those present will be able to repeat after him the three short phrases that he will say. Of course, no one will agree with him. Then Santa Claus, as if looking for words, utters a short phrase. For example: “Today is a wonderful evening.” Everyone confidently repeats this phrase. Santa Claus, embarrassed, looks for and hesitantly says the second phrase. It is also easy for everyone to repeat. Then he quickly and joyfully says: “Well, you were wrong!” The crowd protests. And Santa Claus explains that his third phrase, which had to be repeated, was: “Well, you were wrong!”
Two are better than one.
Some three toys are placed on the floor: a ball, a cube, and a skittle. Two players come out and start dancing around them (the game can be played to music). As soon as the music stops or Santa Claus gives the command “Stop!”, each player must try to grab two toys. Whoever gets one loses. The game can be complicated: increase the number of participants and, accordingly, the number of toys or objects. The one who grabs the most toys wins.
Under a lucky star.
The winner of this game will be the one who first finds the star hanging from the ceiling with the number announced by the presenter. Stars with a large number written with copyright-by-holiday on both sides are pre-hung on threads from the ceiling of the room (or hall) where the dancing will take place. As the dance progresses, the music stops for a minute, and Santa Claus proclaims: “Lucky star - 15!” The dancers try to quickly find the star with this number. The winner is awarded a prize.
Watch your back.
Father Frost or the Snow Maiden gives various commands to those standing in the circle, and they must be carried out only if the word “please” is added to the command, for example, “Please, hands up”, “Lower your right hand!”, “Please clap your hands” and etc. The game is played fun, at a fast pace. Those who make a mistake leave the game. The person who remains is awarded the title of “Most Attentive Guest” and is awarded a prize.
Games with Santa Claus
SANTA CLAUS: How big you have become! Grew up in a year. Let me measure your height. (Santa Claus changes the child’s height with a mitten. Usually, oddly enough, how old the child is, the number of mittens determines his height)
Oh, what a beautiful Christmas tree you have! But she's standing in the corner. How are we going to dance in a circle?
SNOW Maiden: Grandfather Frost, let our parents help us!
One of the adults is put on a cape (or it can be an apron). The bag contains toys made of fabric. Santa Claus asks riddles. For correct answers, he hands the child a toy. Then we decorate the “Christmas tree” with these toys.
