GAME “SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO US”
In this game you are asked to first memorize the text:
Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,
Santa Claus is coming to us.
And we know that Santa Claus
He brings us gifts.
After the text has been repeated, it is proposed to replace words with movements and gestures. The first words that are replaced are the words “us” and “we”. Instead of these words, everyone points to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words and more gestures. Instead of the words “Santa Claus,” everyone points to the door, the word “is coming” is replaced by walking in place, the word “we know” is touched to the forehead with the index finger, the word “gifts” is a gesture depicting a large bag. At latest version all words disappear except prepositions and the verb “will bring.”

GAME WITH SANTA CLAUS “AND ME”
Santa Claus reads poetry, pauses at the end of each line, and the participants in the game say “and I,” if appropriate.
I love walking in the snow
And I love playing in the snow.
I love to ski
I also love skating.
I love winter and summer
Sing, play and dance.
I also love candy
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!

GAME “GRANDFATHER CLAUS”
The presenter reads the quatrains, the children end the last line with the words “Grandfather Frost.”
Gifted with fluffy snow
And made a big drift
Long-awaited and beloved
Everyone...

Rubbing my red nose

Children: Grandfather Frost!
With a nimble hare at dawn

Children: Grandfather Frost!
Walks through the forest with a staff
Among the pines and birches,
Humming the song quietly.

A pair of snow-white braids,
And then he goes to the party
To the children...

GAME “THREE RIDDLES”
The presenter reads the riddles, and the children shout out the answers in chorus.
Looks good in her outfit
The kids are always happy to see her,
There are needles on its branches,
He invites everyone to a round dance... (Yolka)

A bright foil flashlight,
The bell and the boat
Train and car,
Snow-white... (Snowflake)
The tree knows all the surprises
And he wishes everyone fun;
For happy kids
Light up... (Lights)

GAME "BECAUSE IT'S NEW YEAR!"
The children answer the host’s questions in unison with the phrase “Because it’s New Year!”
Why is there fun all around?
Laughter and jokes without worries?..
Why are the guests cheerful?
Are you expecting to arrive?..
Why does everyone want
Will he think ahead?..
Why the path of knowledge
Will it lead you to “A” grades?..
Why is the Christmas tree lit up?
Will he wink at you playfully?..
Why Snow Maiden with Grandfather
Is everyone here waiting today?..
Why in an elegant hall

Why good luck, peace
Does Santa Claus send the children?..

GAME "Naughty Girls"
All the children move in a circle around the Christmas tree. Happy music is playing and everyone is dancing. As soon as the music stops, the presenter announces: “Puffs!” (children puff). Then cheerful music plays again and the players dance. At the end of the music, the presenter announces: “Tweeters!” (children squeak). Thus, the game continues further with various pranks: “Chants!” (children scream), “Squealers!” (children squeal), “Little funny ones!” (children laugh) and again from the beginning. The order in which pranks are announced changes periodically.

GAME “Well done, HAMMER, MILK”
Children form a circle. The leader is in the middle of the circle. He names the words in any order: “well done,” “hammer,” “milk.” For each word, children perform certain movements: “well done” - they jump in place once, “hammer” - they clap their hands once, “milk” - they say “meow”. The presenter stretches out the first syllables of words to confuse the participants in the game (“mo-lo-o-dets”). The game changes from a slow pace to a fast pace. Those who are inattentive remain in their playing places, and those who perform the movements in accordance with the words without mistakes take a step forward. Thus, the winners are the participants in the game who reach the leader faster than others.

GAME “NEW YEAR’S BOX”
The presenter reads 3 clues to the children, with the help of which they should guess the surprises lying in the elegant box. The smartest ones receive prizes.

The most vivid impressions from the holiday, as a rule, are associated with games, fun activities, various funny “dress-up” and gifts. That is why everyone loves it so much when there is all this in abundance, when your favorite games are played by your favorite fairy tale characters when they are showered with gifts, when they especially believe in miracles and fairy tales, because everyone on this holiday can reincarnate themselves into the hero of a fairy tale: Baba Yaga, Bogatyr or Thumbelina.

We offer our collection - New Year's games for children's parties, which can be spent at a family holiday or matinee organized in kindergarten or school. The organizer of these entertainments can be Father Frost and the Snow Maiden, the hosts of the holidays or parents.

New Year's game "Magic Chairs"

For this game, the chairs are arranged alternately with seats left and right. They seat the children on them and explain to them that when Santa Claus approaches any of them and touches him with his magic staff, he must stand up, grab Frost’s waist and repeat all his movements.

So after a couple of minutes, Santa Claus forms a rather impressive “tail” of boys and girls. Following the “prankster” Frost, children squat, jump, waddle and perform other funny movements.

But Grandfather, in a thunderous voice, notifies the children that now they must each quickly return to their place. And, by the way, he was in a hurry to take one of the chairs, so that while the kids were figuring out who was sitting where, there was no longer enough space for one of them. This child is out of the game. So that the baby does not get upset, the Snow Maiden should give him a small sweet prize and explain that soon another of his comrades will be left without a chair (the fact is that with each round one of them should quietly disappear from the row of chairs).

It is not at all necessary to bring the matter to one winner; four to five rounds are enough. You can sing a funny song with those children who “survived.”

Game "Throw the Snowball"

Lead this small competition maybe one of the fairy-tale characters or Father Frost and the Snow Maiden themselves. To do this, they will need a regular hoop for gymnastic exercises, entwined with Christmas tree tinsel. A mountain of cotton wool snowballs is placed nearby. It is better to divide the “snowballs” in half. Children will be taken from these two piles, and we will also divide them into two teams.

Their task: take a “snowball” from a “snowdrift” and, stopping at a special mark, try to throw it inside the hoop. The winner is not the team whose members throw the snowball into the hoop the fastest, but the one that hits the hoop the most times.

Game for children's party "Find a New Year's gift"

No more than four kids can participate in this almost detective game at a time.

First, the organizers of the holiday must draw four “paths” on the floor with multi-colored chalk, which would cross each other, twist in zigzags, run in different directions, that is, they would be very dangerous and difficult routes.

In this case, each child is given a picture with an inscription and an image of the method of movement with which he must overcome his path: on all fours, single file, ten jumps on the left leg and ten jumps on the right leg, backwards forward.

The most important thing is that all the paths will lead to the Christmas tree, under which four gifts are hidden. It is better if one of them is larger - it is for the child who will be the first to reach the finish line. Let the other three be the same.

New Year's game "Gallery of portraits of Santa Claus"

Children love to draw, and they will definitely be pleased with the option of some unusual way of drawing. For example, invite children to portray Santa Claus with their left hand. Another option is to draw blindfolded. The third way to amuse the little ones is to invite them to make a drawing by holding a pencil or felt-tip pen in their teeth.

To make it interesting for all the children to watch the process, deploy five or six easels with sheets of paper attached to them into the room. Let the sheets be not just big, but huge. This will give the child the opportunity to express himself brighter and more fully.

Surely, each of the kids present will want to draw in one way or another, so it makes sense to use the above techniques in turn. It is also important to include a new melody each time so that children do not get tired of the monotony of sounds and lose interest in the process.

Naturally, the organizers will have to stock up on a large number of interesting gifts for this game, so that, in addition to creative satisfaction, each child will also receive material satisfaction.

Competition "Breath of Winter"

To conduct this competition, you will need to stock up on large snowflakes cut out of paper - participants in the mini-competition will blow them off the table.

There should be from three to five players, preferably both boys and girls.

Rules of the competition: snowflakes lying on the table, as at the start, must be blown off the table surface. However, the winner is declared not by the one who removes his snowflake from the table the fastest, but by the one whose snowflake falls to the floor later than everyone else. Thus, before the “start”, little players need to be hinted that the snowflake should float a little in the air.

As a prize, the child can be given mint candies or candies that would be associated with the name of the competition, for example, “Auntie Blizzard” or “Blizzard.”

Fun idea "Magic snowfall"

The host of this little fun event should emphasize that the snowfall they are about to make is called magical, because it will be created by the hands of the children themselves. So, having intrigued her little guests, the presenter invites each of them to take a ball of cotton wool in their hands, fluff it up, throw it in the air and start blowing on the cotton wool from below so that a light “snowflake” begins to float in the air.

Those kids win - and there should be several winners! - whose “snowflake” can float as long or as high as possible.

Game "Harvest from snowflakes"

This game is suitable for very young children. It is better to use the Snowman in it, because this is the character that children associate with snow and fun at the same time.

So, explain to the kids that now they will be given magic baskets in which the snow does not melt. They need them in order to race to collect snowflakes. The Snowman demonstrates beautiful snowflakes pre-cut out of paper to the children. It is best to place them on a patterned tray.

Then, standing on a chair like a boy, the Snowman begins to throw snowflakes up. At this moment, the children need to turn on a pleasant melody and invite them to dance under this lacy snowfall. And then offer to collect snowflakes in magic baskets. Give the children two minutes, no more. The winner is the little one who is quicker than the rest and collects as many paper snowflakes as possible into his basket.

New Year's idea "Miracle Hat"

They play this fun game by forming a round dance. Father Frost or Snow Maiden begins. He or she takes off some funny hat from his or her head and places it on the head of a nearby child.

Explain to the children in advance that they take turns placing this hat on their neighbor's head. This will continue until the music stops or Santa Claus knocks with his magic staff. And the one who is wearing the miracle hat at that moment goes to the center and demonstrates any talent he has (must sing a song, recite a poem, ask a riddle, etc.).

Naturally, this child receives some kind of prize as a reward.

Entertainment "Talking Alphabet"

As an intellectual workout, you can invite children to play “Talking Alphabet.” Its conditions: Santa Claus pronounces a New Year's greeting that begins with the first letter of the alphabet: “Ali Baba sends you warm congratulations!”

The second participant - already one of the children - comes up with his own speech, but only for the second letter of the alphabet - “B”. for example, “Barmaley asked not to worry, he will not interfere with our New Year’s Eve!” and so on. Surely it will be especially interesting for children to receive prizes for the same letter that fell to them for congratulations; it will be especially fun for those who get b, b, y, etc. Here, of course, the organizers will have to work hard.

Entertainment for children's party"Funny Christmas tree"

It is most appropriate to organize such entertainment at a festival, since in this fun competition children will have to show good coordination of movements.

So, we put a small artificial Christmas tree in the middle of the hall. It comes with a box of decorations. However, toys should only be made of plastic so that children do not hurt themselves.

Three to four volunteers are called. They are blindfolded and in this state they are asked to decorate the Christmas tree. Father Frost and the Snow Maiden or other fairy-tale characters from the matinee can serve toys. It is advisable not to look for the losers in the competition and give them chocolate medals or Christmas balls for each child.

As a variant of this competition, we can offer the following form: we do not place a Christmas tree in the center of the hall, but after handing the children a plastic toy, we turn them around their axis three times and ask them to walk and hang the decoration on the first “Christmas tree” they come across. The trick of the presenters should be to, while promoting the child, still direct him towards his comrades. Then, having reached one of the children, the little participant will certainly hang the toy on his ear, nose or button. Which will certainly cause friendly children's laughter.

Attention game "One, two, three!"

This game requires attentiveness and intelligence. It will certainly amuse children who are at least seven or eight years old: it uses numerals, so the child must be able to count.

Rules of the game: on a chair in the center of the circle formed by the players, there is a prize, decorated in a New Year's style. You can only grab it when you hear the number “three.” But the presenter will indulge in deception. He will try to say the word “three” several times, but will always add some ending. For example, “One, two, three... eleven!”, “One, two, three... a hundred!”, “One, two, three... twenty!”. And somewhere between these deceptions he should utter the cherished word “three”.

The prize will be given to the one who turns out to be the most attentive, it is better to encourage the others too, so as not to get upset.

New Year's game "Let's make a blizzard"

Natalia Chernikova

No children's holiday is complete without fun competitions, games and fun. The more fun the holiday is, the more emotions the children will get and will remember the event for a long time. To organize and conduct leisure activities for children, you can use the proposed games, where the main attribute is snowballs (dummies made of cotton wool).

Game "Collect snowballs"

Attributes: basket, snowballs

Tasks: develop dexterity, speed of reaction, coordination of movements.

The presenter (this can be a character with whom the event is taking place, for example: a clown, Carlson, Pinocchio) holds a basket of snowballs in his hands, swings it to scatter the snowballs. Snowballs fall on the floor.

The hero says the words:

I'm a cheerful person.

I love to sing and dance.

And now I ask the children:

“Collect snowballs quickly!”

Children, accompanied by cheerful music, collect snowballs back into the basket. The game can be repeated again.

Game "Bring the Snowball"

Attributes: 2 wooden spoons, snowballs, landmarks (racks)

Tasks: develop dexterity, coordination of movements, orientation to space.

The game can be played as a competition between two players or between teams of players. The participants’ task is to carry wooden spoon snowball. You can offer to run around the Christmas tree (if this is a competition between two players) in different directions or offer to run to the landmark, go around it and return to your team, pass the spoon and snowball to the next player (if this is a relay race between teams).

The rules of the game are discussed at the very beginning. If the snowball falls out of the spoon, you can pick it up, put it in the spoon and continue moving towards the goal. You can complicate the rules: when a snowball falls, the player returns to the starting line and starts moving again.

Game "Snow Duel"

Attributes: long rope, snowballs

Tasks: develop dexterity, reaction speed, coordination of movements, spatial orientation.

The game is played between two teams of players. A rope is pulled between them. It can be held by heroes present at the holiday. Each player has a snowball. On command: “One-two-three! Get started! And throw the snowballs quickly!” participants begin throwing snowballs towards their opponents. Fun music plays during the game. Each team tries to have as few snowballs on their side as possible. And every time a snowball falls on their territory, it quickly throws it back to the opposite side.

When the music ends, the game stops. The winner is determined by counting the number of snowballs on his territory. Whoever has the fewest snowballs is the winner.

Game "Take only snowballs"

Attributes: 2 bags, 2 blindfolds, snowballs, parts from a large construction set

Tasks: develop dexterity, coordination of movements, tactile sensations.

The game is played between two participants, who are blindfolded and asked to collect only snowballs by touch. In addition to snowballs, you can scatter parts of a large construction set around the hall.

On command: “One-two-three! Don't yawn! Just collect snowballs!” participants begin to complete the task. At the end of the time allotted for completing the task, everyone checks together what is in the bag and counts the number of snowballs collected. Whoever has more is the winner.

The game can be played again.

Snowball Throwing Game

Attributes: 2 baskets, 2 hoops, snowballs

Tasks: develop dexterity, coordination of movements, accuracy

You can divide into teams and hold a relay race, or you can hold a competition between individual participants. The task is to hit the target when throwing a snowball. You can aim at baskets (horizontal target) or hanging hoops (vertical target).

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? There are a huge variety of 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 grab 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” 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 some 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). The program is hosted by 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. The one who 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 make several Christmas tree decorations from 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 within the specified time, for example, two to 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, previously laid out 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 time for the game! (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 they are pronounced last words, hands give up, 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 - not even 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 “potatoes” as possible. 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, placed at a distance of several steps balloons. 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?
He'll bring toys, right?
This tree has a good trunk, right?

And cones grow on the Christmas tree, right?
Cucumbers and tomatoes, right?
Well, the tree is beautiful, right?

He's friends with Snowflake, 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 more “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?
- Are the shelves made of wood?
- Snowball made of white cotton wool?
- Backpacks, briefcases?
- Are the cones silvery?
- Are the stars radiant?

Games and attractions add a special touch of ease and disorganization to the atmosphere of any children's party. 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 winter and New Year's holidays in kindergarten.

Game with winter character

Guys, aren’t you afraid to walk in the cold?

And we use our feet: stomp, stomp, stomp (they march in place).

What if the snowdrifts are deep?

And we’re on skis: chic-chic, chic-chic (swinging ski poles).

What if the river is frozen?

And we are on skates: burn-burn, burn-burn (hands behind your back, sliding movements with your legs).

What if the hill is steep?

And we are on a sled: uh-uh (two hands on the top right - movement down to the left).

What if the road is wide?

And we are in cars: w-w, w-w (steering wheel).

What if the rails are iron?

And we are on the train: chug-chug, chug-chug (they depict a train with their hands).

What if the bowl is dense?

And we're on the plane: wow.

Game with three-dimensional and planar snowmen

Snowball game (with balloons)

The song “Snowball Game” was played

Vinti: Great! Now let's have a real snowball fight!

Tinti: Come on, I've already prepared them (brings in balloons). While the music is playing, we throw the “snowballs” to the opponents’ side. After finishing the melody, count the number of “snowballs” on each side. Whoever has fewer of them wins. Attention! Let's start!

Dance game “One, two, three!”

Parents come out and stand in a circle.

Santa Claus: I will give you tasks, and when you complete them, you count to three. Are you ready?

6.And let’s clap our hands... One, two, three!

And now we repeat everything twice as fast.

(Instead of words, Santa Claus makes sounds reminiscent of rewinding a tape. The game is played at a frantic pace.)

New Year's auction

Children take turns listing everything that happens in the New Year: Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, Christmas tree, gifts, Christmas decorations, needles on the floor, snow, flashlights, etc. The one who runs out of ideas is out of the game. The most resourceful one wins.

Finger game "White Snow"

Snowman: Show me again how snow flies in winter ?

Children:

White fluffy snow (soft movements with hands)

Spinning in the air (“flashlights” with hands)

And quietly to the ground (soft movements with the hands)

Falls. Lies down. (waves below from side to side)

And then, and then (2 strokes - we shovel snow)

We'll make a ball out of snow. (making snowballs)

Oooh! (throw snowballs at each other)

Game "Two Frosts"

Two “houses” are marked on opposite sides of the hall (you can mark them with flags). The players choose two Frosts: Frost - a red nose and Frost - a 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.

1st Santa Claus (points to himself). I am Frost - red nose.

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 next to him standing child, he, in turn, transfers the hat from his head to his 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

In front of the main tree, two small Christmas trees and two boxes with unbreakable New Year's toys are placed. Three people are called to each tree. At the command of Santa Claus, children dress them up. Whoever decorates his Christmas tree with all the toys from the box faster and more accurately wins.

New Year's concert

Cards with New Year's illustrations are placed in a beautiful chest: Christmas tree, round dance, snowflake, icicle, skis, sleigh, etc. Children take turns taking out a card and, after looking at the image, must read a poem about this object or sing an excerpt from a song.

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

Collect a snowflake

Large snowflakes are cut into triangles. Placed near the Christmas tree. Task: while fun, moving music is playing, put all the details together. The winner is the one who keeps to the music and neatly folds everything.

Build a Snowman

Snowman details are cut out of whatman paper (two copies): three circles different sizes. From colored paper: eyes, mouth, carrot nose, bucket, scarf, broom. The summoned children, on command, quickly assemble snowmen from the offered parts on the floor near the Christmas tree. The winner is the one who assembles the snowman more accurately, quickly and correctly, using all the prepared parts.

Fun rattle

Santa Claus competes with children in running in sacks or jumping on one leg around the Christmas tree. One condition is mandatory: after running or jumping to the agreed upon place, you must take a rattle - a maracas on a chair in front of the tree and ring it.

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.

Who will collect the most snowballs?

Hares and fox

Children perform movements according to the text.

Along the forest lawn

The bunnies ran away.

These are the bunnies

Running bunnies.
(Children-bunny run easily around the hall.)

The bunnies sat in a circle,

They dig the root with their paw.

These are the bunnies

Running bunnies.
(The “bunnies” sit down and perform imitation movements according to the text.)

Here is a fox running -

Red-haired sister.

Looking for where the bunnies are,

Running bunnies.
(The fox runs between the children and, when the song ends, catches up with the kids.)

Give the Snowman a nose

Place 2 stands in front of the tree and attach them to large sheets with the image of snowmen. Two or more children participate. They are blindfolded. At the signal, children must reach the snowmen and put their nose to it (this could be a carrot). Other children help with words: left, right, lower, higher...

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 is repeated.

Catch a snowball

Several couples participate. Children stand opposite each other at a distance of approximately 4 meters. One child has an empty bucket, the other has a bag with a certain number of “snowballs” (tennis or rubber balls). At a signal, the child throws snowballs, and the partner tries to catch them with a bucket. The first couple to finish the game and collect the most snowballs wins.

Ice cream game

Snow Maiden: And now the time has come -

A fun game awaits us!

Santa Claus: But first I want to tell all of you guys a delicious riddle. Listen:

This little snowball

Place in a waffle cone.

It melts on the tongue

What is this? Who knows? (Ice cream)

The Snow Maiden and Father Frost stand on both sides of the tree and take small plastic buckets covered with silver paper. The presenters bring out a table on which there is a box with the inscription “ICE CREAM”, in which there are multi-colored plastic balls; they place it close to the audience. The presenter invites the children to split into two teams. Teams stand on both sides of the tree. Each team is given a small bucket covered with silver paper or foil and a large ladle. The presenter says that the assortment includes different ice cream: raspberry, orange, blueberry, strawberry, pistachio and chocolate. The playing child must run up to the box with popsicles, take a scoop of “ice cream” with a ladle, put it in a bucket, run and put it in the bucket of the Snow Maiden (the other team is Santa Claus). The winner is the team that fills the bucket of the Snow Maiden and Father Frost with scoops of “ice cream” the fastest. Parents can also take part in the game.

Attributes: table, box with the inscription “Ice cream”, multi-colored plastic balls according to the number of children (an even number), 2 small buckets covered with silver paper or foil, 2 large ladle, 2 medium plastic buckets covered with silver paper.

Snowball game

Children, divided into two teams, pick up “snowballs” - round foam balls or wads of cotton wool sewn into gauze - and try to hit each other. The task of the attackers is to hit the enemy with a snowball, the defenders are to dodge and not allow themselves to be hit. The team that makes the most accurate hits wins.
