10. Cheerful corporate party
What you need: small prizes for the winners, a blindfold.
Where else can you see colleagues in an informal setting, and amaze them with your abilities, if not at a New Year's corporate party?
"Piggy" proverbs
For a fun meeting of the Year of the Pig, the presenter can invite the participants of the holiday to finish the proverbs associated with pigs. A gift (for example, a piggy bank) will be received by the one who completes the most of the proverbs.
Let's sing, friends!
The next number of the program can be a spiritual performance of a song about a pig, winter or New Year. The winner is determined by the host or invited Santa Claus.
Competition "without opening your eyes"
A person who will have to guess which of his colleagues is standing in front of him should blindfold and name the person without words, based only on tactile sensations.
9. New Year for creative people
What you need: a large sheet of paper, costumes, prizes.
Bedtime story
It is necessary to collectively write a fairy tale, one of the main characters of which will be a cute pig.
- The presenter can set a topic, and all the participants in the game take turns writing on a large sheet of paper two or three sentences each, developing the plot.
- Each participant folds his part of the sheet so that the next participant cannot see it.
- At the end, the sheet is unfolded and read out what happened.
Your own traveler
If you have no desire or opportunity to leave for another country, you can create it in your own apartment! Agree with relatives or friends about a themed party - meeting the new year according to the customs of another country, from national cuisine to the appropriate music. And costumes will definitely be needed - if not completely, then at least some appropriate element, for example, a fan or an obi belt.
Pleasant words
Another creative and even emotionally useful New Year's fun is to tell your neighbor at the table a pleasant or funny wish for the coming year. No platitudes, the more flowery your wish is, the better. The most interesting and unusual wish will receive a reward.
8. Dance party
What you need: sheets of newsprint, small prizes for the winners.
Dancing in the New Year is an optional but very pleasant part of the festive program. And the list of New Year 2019 scenarios would be incomplete without them.
Better than twerk
Dance with specific body parts only. For example, only with arms, head or shoulders. The number of simultaneously dancing participants is from 3 to 4 people, so that the audience can easily observe everyone.
Dances with restrictions
Spread large sheets of paper on the floor. Couples will dance on these "islands", but no dancer should go beyond the sheet. If the music is over, and everyone has fulfilled the conditions of the competition, then the list is folded in half and the competition continues.
7. Quiet holiday
What you need: balloons, a needle, a blindfold.
Smell like a pig
Did you know that pigs compete with the sharpest scent dogs? So why not become a little pig on New Year's Eve? No, not "to grunt until a pig's screech", but to try blindfolded, just with the help of a scent, guess what kind of food or drink is in front of you. For this fun you don't even need to get up from the table, all the dishes will be placed in front of you in no particular order.
Good wishes
Put small pieces of paper with a wish in the balloons. Inflate the balls. Let each participant take the balloon they like, burst it with a needle and read the wish.
6. Gatherings for two
What you need: champagne, money.
Two by the fireplace
To snuggle up to each other and listen to the chimes, sipping champagne - what could be more romantic? Is that to meet the onset of the new year in front of a crackling fireplace in a small, cozy house somewhere in a picturesque place. Renting a cozy house in the forest costs about 5-6 thousand rubles per day.
Invite a lady to a restaurant
And if you don't want to cook and decorate anything, but want to have a great time, book a table in a restaurant for the New Year. Yes, it is more expensive than on other days, but is it worth saving on the holiday?
5. New Year with friends
What you need: Fancy dress for the geek party.
One of the best ways to celebrate the New Year is with friends. Whether you are planning a large and festive reception or decide to limit yourself to a small party only for the closest circle - in any case, the memories of these friendly gatherings will remain the most pleasant.
The Secret of Santa Claus
Many New Year's parties take place according to a well-known scenario - first everyone eats, then drinks, and as a result they wake up with a headache and melancholy throughout the body. It's time to break the mold! The so-called "live quest" comes to the rescue - a chain of tasks compiled by experienced directors. There can be many options here - from a self-invented game to a cottage specially filmed for a quest in the forest with accompanying staff. It all depends on your imagination and budget. Topics can be very different - the search for a gift, the horrors of the post-apocalypse, a classic detective story in the style of Agatha Christie, contact with an alien mind ... The main thing is that everyone has fun!
Geek party
If you have become friends with a hobby beyond the control of mere mortals, the theme of the festive New Year's masquerade is by itself. Do you like Star Wars? It's time to have a Masquerade Party with Princess Leia and Chewbacca! Crazy about Game of Thrones? Beauties in medieval costumes compete in villainous designs with ignoble knights! Love the Big Bang Theory? Nerds and geeks cosplaying even bigger nerds and geeks - one hundred percent success!
Movie marathon
Remember how long ago, as schoolchildren, the happy owners of VCRs gathered at the apartment of the happy owners of video recorders and for the tenth time watched some "Fists of Fire" and "The Riddle of the Tiger Valley"? It's time to refresh those memories! Nothing strengthens friendly feelings like watching movies together on the couch with a drink and a festive table. Before the party, we recommend that you arrange a vote and select the films that received the highest ratings. New Year's themes are welcome!
4. New Year with the family
What you need: A large, pretty box with fun accessories.
The main thing when meeting 2019 with your family is to choose the best New Year's scenarios so that everyone, from the older generation to the smallest, likes them. For example, if children want to run, jump and climb a wall, then the grandmother or grandfather is given the honorable role of a judge. And noisy and active entertainment, which requires a lot of energy, it is better to save it at the beginning of the holiday so that both old and small ones do not get so tired.
Your own chef
The main charm of this entertainment is the release of the mother of the family from worries in the kitchen. Before the holidays, plan the menu in advance and allow family members to choose a specific dish with which they are going to delight the taste buds of their household. We recommend that children leave desserts at the mercy, because it is not so easy to spoil them, especially if it is jelly or mousse. At the end it will be possible to arrange a competition for the best performance.
Surprise box
Participants in the New Year's celebration must sit in a circle.
When cheerful music starts playing, a box filled with garments and accessories with "pig" symbols is passed from hand to hand. This can be, for example, a mask in the form of a pig, a ring with a pig's face or a cap with Peppa pig. When the music stops, the one in whose hands the box is, without looking, chooses his "prize" and walks in it all New Year's Eve.
Your own singer
What's better than home karaoke where all family members unite their voices? To create a New Year mood, we recommend compiling a list of songs that talk about winter, gifts and Santa Claus. And so that the memories remain for a long time, you can shoot a family video - and watch it a year later.
3. New Year for children
What you need: cookies, frosting, fireworks, gifts.
The task of adults here is not so much to rejoice in themselves, but to create for children that mysterious and magical atmosphere for which everyone loves the New Year so much. Therefore, you will have to show miracles of resourcefulness so that the holiday is not overshadowed by resentments and tears.
Discover the artist in you!
Gingerbread painting. Simple fun that can give you a lot of fun. Just get everyone together at the dinner table, make more cookies (you can buy them) and colorful frosting (you can also buy them in the respective stores). And let your imagination and imagination run wild!
Edible tree
On the eve of the holiday, prepare treats with the children, such as cookies or sugar figurines, and hang them beautifully on the branches of the tree. Then, on New Year's Eve, you can arrange a whole competitive program, where children will have the opportunity to show off their talents. They can sing, dance, recite a poem, run in sacks down the hallway, compose a fairy tale, or put on a theatrical performance with adults and toys. As a reward, the most active will receive a particularly tempting treat from the Christmas tree.
Night light
On the eve of the holiday, send the children to bed as usual, despite all the protests. And suddenly wake them up a couple of hours later, wrap them up warmly and go out into the yard or go by car into a snowy forest. Make a fire, set off fireworks (just be careful), drink hot chocolate from a thermos and, of course, give the children gifts.
2. New Year in the youth company
What you need: a smartphone for a selfie, small prizes, gift wrapping.
It is not easy to feel the excitement in yourself at the thought of starting a new year if you are a student with no regular income. The tests had just died down, the exams were ahead, but there was no money yet. However, don't let yourself get bored. Even a small budget is not an obstacle for a good holiday.
Big city lights
One of the cheapest and most fun New Year's activities. Divide your friends into two teams and set off to travel around the city in search of New Year's decorations of certain shapes and colors - from a snowman to Santa Claus's staff. As soon as someone from the team finds such a decoration, they take a selfie in front of it and post it in a group chat. According to the results, the winners are announced and awarded with something tasty and fun - for example, New Year's gingerbread. And if you get cold, you can always warm up in a nearby cafe.
Confuse Santa Claus
Photos of people in ridiculous poses are a long-standing, ancient and noble New Year's tradition (just look at yesterday's holiday pictures in the morning). But why wait until January 1, when you can fully feel the spirit of the holiday right now? So grab your friends, head to a nearby mall and have a competition for the worst photo with Santa Claus. Those who wish can acquire accessories - paper red hats, pipe whistles, Christmas balls, or wrap themselves in tinsel from head to foot. You will laugh a lot, we guarantee.
A gift for fifty dollars
Choosing a gift is not easy in itself, but even more difficult if you are a poor student. You can relieve yourself and your friends of the gift burden by arranging a game in “Gifts for fifty dollars”. What you need: each one individually goes to the nearest economy store, buys one, two or three gifts there (if desired, the main thing is that everyone buys the same amount), wraps them in gift paper and ties them with a ribbon. And in the evening the game begins!
Everyone gathers in a circle, and each person chooses either to unfold “his” gift, or decides to “steal” the one that someone else has unfolded. Very little time will pass, and serious passions will play out - everyone will try to grab the best for themselves. A lot of laughter, jokes and festive fun awaits you - and everything is literally for fifty dollars.
1. New Year alone
What you need: groceries, a cocktail, or any other drink you want.
We are all surrounded by other people. If on ordinary working days you have to somehow put up with it, then on holidays there is a chance to enjoy the blessed loneliness. For the sake of completeness, you can pull out the Internet cable, turn off your mobile and not answer calls at the door. And start implementing one of the best scenarios for celebrating the New Year of the Pig 2019.
Quiet morning
While most shops are closed on the morning of January 1st, nature remains accessible to everyone. If you have a car, you can drive to a calm and beautiful place and admire the falling snowflakes. If there is no car, you can limit yourself to a nearby park. Even in the early New Year's morning, you can simply go outside and take photos of the deserted city. No one will rush to cross the street at the wrong moment and no one will breathe over the shoulder: "What are you filming?"
Sunny time
Or you can act in spite of all the snow-covered romance and rush somewhere in cheap new year tour, towards the sun and a heated pool. Enjoy the all-inclusive system, sip freshly squeezed juice and post photos on Instagram to the envy of your friends. If you can't go anywhere, buy some fruit, make yourself a cocktail and watch Rescuers Malibu.
Shameless doing nothing
For many people tormented by problems, the most important gift is the opportunity to do nothing for a whole week. For the full effect, we recommend purchasing food in advance so as not to leave the house at all.
