Musical competitions for the new year. Music games. New Year's games and competitions for children
New Year's games for children are the main entertainment of the holiday. No matter how wonderful the scenario is, but until the children play with the kind Santa Claus and receive at least small souvenirs as a reward from him, they will not feel real fun. New Year's games and competitions for children are held near a large Christmas tree in the square and at school at a matinee, at home and in the yard. If you have been entrusted with preparing these children's entertainments, you should approach their selection with caution. It's no secret that many adults are willing to offer kids the same fun every year. Such a holiday is quickly prepared, but it is boring. We offer new New Year's games that will amuse children of different ages on New Year's days.
New Year's game with a hall for small children What grows on our Christmas tree?
Many adults used to play this game with pleasure during the holiday, now it's time to teach it to our children. The leader of the game is Santa Claus. He asks small children sitting in the hall: “What grows on our tree?” And then he continues a series of words, trying to confuse the children, but they must quickly answer him “Yes” or “No”.
So try playing:
What grows on our tree? Pink needle? Bright toy? Tasty cheesecake? Huge bump? A clumsy bear? Sound thin ice? Children's round dance? White snowflake? Bright picture? Father's car? A torn picture? Icicles, tinsel? Fun game? The series can be continued indefinitely, each time naming new items. It is desirable that it is possible to name words in rhyme, then the game will be fun and children may make mistakes.
Musical New Year game Chasing a toy
For the game, which is held at the New Year's party, an arbitrary number of children are invited. They form a circle, in the center of which is placed a small table or stool. There are Christmas decorations on the table. Their number is one less than the number of participants in the game. Music sounds, children run in a circle, dance. As soon as the music stops, you need to take a toy from the table. Those who don't have enough will leave. The number of toys on the table is also reduced by one. The one who takes the last toy wins. So that children do not injure their hands, toys should not be glass.
Children's Christmas game with songs
For this New Year's game, an arbitrary number of children from the audience who know a lot of songs or New Year's ditties are invited. The leader in the game can be either the Snow Maiden or Santa Claus. Children line up. Santa Claus calls any New Year's word, and the children should raise their hands if they know a song where this word is present. Whoever correctly names the song moves one step forward. The winner is the one who reaches the target line faster. You can not repeat the names of the songs. Approximate words that the hosts can call: Christmas tree, snowflakes, holiday, New Year, needles, balls, crackers, cones, round dance.
New Year round dance games for young children
Kids love to dance and play in round dances. We offer to amuse them with the new round dance game "Snowball". All children become in a round dance near the Christmas tree. They pass each other a white tennis ball or any other object resembling a snowball. The host reads a short poem: “The snowball is rolling forward, and now my surprise is waiting for you. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 you will sing a song. Whoever has a lump left, he sings a song, receives a prize from Santa Claus and goes to his place in the hall. Tasks need to be constantly changed. Instead of the words “Perform a song”, you can add “read poetry, dance dance, laugh loudly, entertain the Snow Maiden, guess a riddle.”
Children's New Year's outdoor mass games at home or school
New Year's mass games are usually held on the street next to the Christmas tree. Do you want to arrange such fun near the school or at home? We propose to hold a mobile game "Snow Biathlon" on the street. There are two teams of children. They choose a captain. He stands at the line and will shoot snowballs at the intended target. As a target, you can take a children's bucket. Team members take turns running up to the captain and bringing him snowballs. The team that fills their bucket with snowballs faster in a certain time wins.

15Happy child 27.11.2016
Dear readers, very soon the New Year and happy holidays. I encourage you to prepare ahead of time! Today on the blog we have made for you a selection of New Year's games for children. What to play with the whole family? What to do with kids of all ages? How to properly organize the play space? What are the secrets in this matter? We will try to find answers to these and other questions in the article.
Heading Anna Kutyavina will share her thoughts and ideas of games for the new year for children. I give her the floor.
Hello dear readers of Irina's blog! Can you smell the frosty air outside the window? Snow, a Christmas tree, tangerines… Although according to the calendar there is still a whole month before the most anticipated holiday of the year, many of us already have an expectation of a miracle in our hearts. Indeed, on New Year's Eve, not only our children, but we ourselves often make the most cherished wishes, sincerely believing that they will certainly come true! And from January 1, like in a fairy tale, a new life will begin ...
So, let's start and we are preparing for the festive fun? In order not to sit out the last hours of December on the Internet, in a frantic search for new ideas for games, let's take important steps towards a joyful New Year right now. As long as there is time, strength, energy and desire. And also - there are a lot of delicious and non-standard ideas for fun! Go?
For your convenience, we have divided all games into age categories. So it will be easier for you to navigate and choose what is best for the child. There are games near the Christmas tree, games with rhymes, New Year's musical games. Games for the whole family are a separate category - a creative space in which there is a place for everyone: moms and dads, grandparents, aunts and uncles and kids!
New Year's games for children under 2 years old
Let's start the consideration of fun with the smallest heroes of the holiday. Usually, children begin to actively engage in simple games from 1.5-2 years old. For even younger toddlers, we offer only the simplest: round dances around the Christmas tree in the arms of mom; funny rhymes and songs with parents. Remember that babies should never be overloaded with emotions, including positive ones! "Herringbone" for such children lasts no more than half an hour, and we certainly look at the condition of the child. If he is tired, give him time to rest.
It's great if moms love to sing, compose poems and fairy tales. It's time to fantasize and gradually include the crumbs in the creative process. The main thing is the emotional involvement of parents, the desire to play and create. Even with yearlings, you can do small crafts together, glue a New Year's toy - boots from two cardboard parts, and then paint with colored sparkles. The baby just sits in the arms of the mother, and the mother does everything herself using the “hand in hand” method. Then the toy is solemnly hung on the Christmas tree, and each guest is told who made such beauty. And everyone is happy and satisfied.
It is good for kids to include short New Year's songs, under which you can clap your hands, stomp your feet, twist your booty. First of all, remember safety precautions: if there is a toddler in the house, the Christmas tree should not stand on the floor, especially hung with glass toys and garlands with lights.
New Year's games and competitions for children from 2 to 6 years old
Now let's move on to the most "grateful" age. Preschoolers are very fond of games and fun, they are active and sociable. We present to your attention a selection of games for preschoolers:
Game "Guess the gift"
Put a lot of different items and toys in a large bag. Invite the child to feel to determine what came into his hand. If the child guesses the name of the object, he receives a gift.
Game "Owl and animals"
One driver is chosen - "owl". The rest of the children show various animals: birds, mice, butterflies, frogs, bunnies, etc.
The driver gives the command: "Day!" - and all the "animals" run and jump merrily. On the second command: "Night!" Everyone freezes and doesn't move. The owl flies to "hunt". Anyone who laughs, moves, changes position, becomes the prey of an owl.
The game "It's boring to sit like this ..."
We seat the kids on chairs near one wall. The facilitator reads the verse:
It's boring, it's boring to sit like this,
Look at each other.
Isn't it time to run
And change places?
On these words, the children quickly run to the opposite wall, trying to take the empty chairs. There are one fewer chairs than players. The one left without a chair is out of the game. The chairs are also removed one by one. The game is repeated until the winner takes the last chair.
Game "Fox and Hares"
Children move according to the instructions in the text:
On the forest lawn
Bunnies ran away.
Here are some bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
(Baby bunnies run around the hall)
The bunnies sat in a circle
They dig a spine with a paw.
Here are some bunnies
Runaway bunnies.
("Bunnies" sit down, "dig" roots)

Runaway bunnies.
(The fox runs between the kids. When the song ends, he catches up with the kids).

The game "We are funny kittens"
The leader puts on cheerful music. Children break into pairs and dance.
The host says: “We are funny kittens,” and the couples are separated. Each shows a dancing kitten.

You need to take a small ball, or make a "snow" ball of cotton. The participants of the game become in a circle. "Snowball" is passed in a circle.
The leader says:
Snowball we all roll,
We all count to five.
One, two, three, four, five -
You sing a song!
Whoever has a “snowball” in his hands on the last phrase, he fulfills this wish. The last phrase changes: “You dance to dance!”, “And you read poetry!”, “Tell you a fairy tale!” etc.
And here is another very interesting game for the whole family for the New Year. I suggest watching the video.
New Year's karaoke
How is the new year without songs? Pick up a list of “cons” in advance, such as:
- "The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree",
- "Three white horses"
- "The ceiling is icy, the door is creaky",
- "The little Christmas tree is cold in winter,"
- "Five minutes",
- "Blue frost",
- "Song about bears", etc.
Turn on and have fun singing with the whole family!
Game-dance "Engine"
Adults and children stand in a column, put their hands on the waist of the previous dancer. And the locomotive is moving!
Our games are suitable for organizing a fun space at home, as well as in the conditions of matinees and corporate parties. Some of them can even be played outside.
Friends, I sincerely hope that you enjoy our New Year's games and competitions for kids, and you will certainly find something for yourself! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
