Such competitions will go especially well in the company of friends, who will not be afraid to seem funny, but on the contrary, they will be happy to amuse all the guests.
One of the popular competitions that everyone knows about is a round dance around chairs. To hold it, only 6-10 chairs are needed, depending on the number of guests, and participants need one more than chairs. All the chairs are placed in a circle, with their backs facing each other, the music is turned on, and the participants walk around the chairs while the composition is playing. After the music turns off, everyone needs to have time to take a chair, but since there are fewer of them than the participants, one person will not have enough space and will be eliminated from the competition. The game continues until there is a chair left and two participants who will fight together. Give the winner a souvenir prepared in advance. The competition is very popular and old, thanks to it fun will reign at the festival.

They need to be divided into two teams, a bandage should be tied on their heads, in order for them to look like Baba Yaga, there will be a mop instead of a broom, and only one foot will need to stand on the bucket. In all this uniform, you need to get to another participant and pass the baton to him. The team with the fastest Babka-Hedgehogs wins and receives a prize.

Games, various competitions on New Year's Eve for seniors
Family games
Both children and adults of different ages and generations can participate in the proposed games.
Competition "Forest fairy or Christmas tree"
When everyone had already eaten on New Year's Day, they relaxed. Having had a drink, it’s time to start games and entertainment so that the guests don’t get bored. We call two people who want to participate in the game. Everyone stands on a stool and tries to imitate a Christmas tree. Two more volunteers begin to decorate the tree, not with toys, but with whatever catches their eye first. The one who dresses up the most beautifully and originally wins. By the way, it is allowed to take attributes from guests, it can be anything - ties, clips, watches, hairpins, cufflinks, scarves, scarves, etc.
Offer your friends the entertaining game “New Year's Drawing”
All ages can participate here. Two heroes, whose hands were previously tied, standing with their backs to a stand with a sheet of paper, are asked to draw the symbol of the next year - the Cockerel. You can use pencils and markers. Participants have the right to suggest - to the left, to the right, etc.
Game for big and small “Funny Caterpillar”
A funny and mischievous game for the New Year's feast. All participants line up like a train, that is, everyone grabs the waist of the person in front. The main presenter begins to tell that his caterpillar is trained and follows any commands. If she needs to dance, she dances beautifully, if she needs to sing, she sings, and if the caterpillar wants to sleep, then she falls to the side, curls up her paws and snores. And so, the host begins to play disco music, to which everyone begins, without letting go of their neighbor’s waist, to dance, then you can sing karaoke or even while watching TV, and then sleep. The game is funny to tears, where everyone shows themselves in all their talents. Noise and din are guaranteed.
"Cock-fights"
Number of participants: 2.
Two “roosters” are invited to the “ring”, the presenter gives them boxing gloves.
In a serious voice, he announces that a battle for the title of the strongest male will now take place, and asks the participants to warm up. He talks about the rules: don’t hit below the belt, don’t aim at the teeth.
The host heats up the situation, and just before the start of the fight... hands out wrapped candies to the participants and announces the rules: in 1 minute, unwrap the largest number of candies using boxing gloves.
Romantic tailor
This romantic entertainment is designed for families or couples. The essence of the competition is to find five pins that are pinned in different places on the players' clothes. You will have to do this blindfolded. Since the tailor can be forgetful, there may be not five pins, but four. Someone will spend a very long time looking for a non-existent pin! Whoever guesses first wins! If you adhere to fasting, then pay attention to the calendar of fasting days in 2021.
"Follow the Rooster"
Number of participants: unlimited.
In the hall, chairs are placed in a chaotic manner, and the participants, the “chickens,” sit on them. Guests of the evening choose the “rooster”.
To the music, he walks between the chairs and, clapping his hands, collects the “chickens” behind him. Forming a “train”, the participants, led by the leader, walk between the chairs.
When the "cockerel" claps his hands twice, the "chickens" must sit on the chairs. The difficulty is that the “rooster” must also sit on an empty chair, and one participant will remain standing. He will become the new “cockerel”.
Competitions for the New Year 2021 New Year's games and entertainment: A fun corporate party.
In the office, it’s not always possible to get to know your colleagues better due to a busy work schedule. For this reason, most managers organize corporate gatherings so that the team becomes friends and discovers new facets and aspects of character in others. You can just sit at the table, eat and have small talk on any other day, and the New Year holidays under the auspices of the Rooster are simply bound to be fun. Fun competitions for adults will help with this:
The invitees are divided into two identical teams. Opposite each of them are trays with an equal number of tangerines, and empty trays near the players. Each participant must run to the tray, put the fruit in a spoon and bring it to the empty one. It is important to keep the tangerine in the spoon, and the team that transfers all the fruits faster will win.
Guests are divided into pairs (the number is arbitrary). Men wear a shirt over their clothes, and women wear men's gloves. Goal: fasten all the buttons as quickly as possible.
New Year's competitions 2021 should excite the Rooster, so the task of adults is to succeed in this matter. A variety of things are pre-placed in a large bag: a bow, a scarf, a scarf, a scarf, a diaper, stockings, jewelry, hats. The funnier the items, the funnier the competition will be. Music is turned on at various intervals, after which the players pass the bag around in a circle. Whoever the music stops on must pull an object out of the bag at random and put it on himself. By the end of the game, New Year's outfits will become original additions.
Two teams are made up of the participants. One comes up with a word and calls it only to one player from among the opponents. He must use facial expressions and gestures to tell his team what the word is. After winning, the teams change roles. This game is not difficult for children, but adults will have a hard time due to complexes and tightness.
Men can compete by inflating balloons at speed. In this case, women need to prepare for the loud pops that will be made by bursting balloons.
"I'm the coolest"
This competition is very suitable for the fiery rooster, because only men and... eggs (boiled of course) take part in it! After approval of the participants, each of them is given a plate of chicken eggs, in the amount of 5-7 pieces. Information is announced in advance that in each plate, among the boiled eggs, there is one raw one. Thus, the participants are misled from the very beginning, because there are no raw eggs in the competition. Next, the players draw lots and hit one egg on their foreheads in the prescribed manner. With each attempt, the tension in the stronger half of the company increases more and more, as when playing Russian roulette! The first one to figure out the trick wins.
Lady in red or everything to do with Pushkin?
The Internet is full of good advice on what is best to wear on New Year's Eve in the Year of the Red Rooster. In my opinion, there are no special rules, everyone comes up with their own ideas. You and I need something else - just to have fun, so I propose to announce some kind of dress code for the guests.
Option 1 Let all the ladies and girls come in red to match the Red Rooster (or have some kind of red accessory - clutch, scarf, earrings, headband with a red feather, cape, bracelet). Men can decorate themselves with a red tie.
Option 2 If you like costume parties, I suggest taking the characters from Pushkin’s “The Golden Cockerel” as a basis. Well, not everyone should dress up as roosters and hens on New Year's Eve! Let there be Kings of Dadons, Shamakhan queens, Astrologers-sages, Russian warriors and a commander in armor.
Option 1. Fun photo shoot You can take pictures near the New Year tree or come up with another photo zone from simple materials (here are ideas in pictures). If only not against the backdrop of furniture and wallpaper. Your guests will have something to brag about on social networks.
Option 2. Fashion show If everyone is only in red, we arrange a fashion show to the song “Lady in red” (Chris de Burgh). If everything is according to Pushkin, you can take something like “Marusya” from the film “Ivan Vasilyevich changes his profession” for the exit of Tsar Dadon and the “army”. And for the Astrologer and the Shamakhan Queen, you will need something oriental.
Prizes for the most artistic.
"Magic Balls"
For this competition, prepare balloons in advance. Place a piece of paper with a task in each of them, and then inflate it. During the competition, balls are scattered on the floor in front of the participants, each of whom must choose his own and burst it without using his hands. After the balloon bursts, the participant must begin completing the task, for which the following scenarios can be chosen:
- Stop your table neighbor from bursting his balloon.
- Take someone else's task and complete it with passion.
- Dance a twist.
- Sit in the middle of the room, grab your head and sing soulfully “A Christmas tree was born in the forest.”
- Stand on a chair and pretend to be a paratrooper making the first jump of his life.
“Guess who I am?”
Each participant is given a card with the name of a traditional New Year's character. It can be:
- Father Frost.
- Snow Maiden.
- Snowman.
- Hare.
- Deer.
- Wolf.
Participants must portray their hero without words. This can be done using gestures, gait or facial expressions. The artist whose character is guessed the fastest wins.
Each of the presented competitions can be diversified with pleasant gifts. You don't have to choose something expensive. Useful things such as mugs, pens, combs, notepads, photo frames, keychains and much more are also suitable. After all, the most important thing is a warm, friendly and cheerful company that has gathered to brightly celebrate this New Year!
"Just kidding"
As mentioned earlier, New Year competitions for 2021 of the Rooster should be perky, lively and sometimes cocky. “I was joking” - despite its short duration, it copes well with all the assigned tasks. The participants of the competition stand in a circle, bend over to the floor and put their hands on it, their heads remaining down (the awkward pose makes the outcome of the game even more fun). You can make paper snowflakes in stages.
The leader sits in the center of the circle and says the same line several times, which all participants must repeat after him in unison. “I’m (person’s name—any name), and I don’t know how to play this game.” After the last repetition, the presenter nervously jumps up, looks around at everyone gathered and arrogantly asks: “Then why are you all standing like that?!” The one who catches the leader first wins.
"Win-win lottery"
New Year is not only congratulations, pleasant company and a table bursting with food, but also, of course, gifts! However, if the gift is obtained using your own ingenuity, it is twice as expensive! For this competition, prepare sheets of paper with simple riddles in advance (after all, it’s a new year, and there should be no losers!). Riddles can be as follows:
- To a bald person it’s like a poultice (comb) for a dead person.
- If you want to drink milk, then you need it (the mug).
- I know your whole day by the clock (diary).
Participants who solve the riddles receive corresponding gifts.
Chicken tabaka
People of my generation remember well the skit performed by young Leonid Yarmolnik on the program “Around Laughter,” where he showed a fried flattened chicken.
You can offer guests a version of the game “Crocodile” (where movements show the names of objects and phenomena without words). Let guests guess the most common New Year's dishes: Olivier salad, herring under a fur coat, jellied meat, cake, champagne, tangerines, shish kebab, etc. To demonstrate, call the active player, and show the names themselves to him alone on pre-prepared cards.
“Wipe your feet, it’s snowing outside”
This is a very funny and active New Year's competition. The facilitator divides the participants into two equal teams. People who open the game stand facing their group at a distance of 15 steps. They are given three sheets of paper (newspapers can be used): they hold one in their hands, and stand on the other two with their feet. Before taking a step, the participant places the third piece of paper on the floor, puts his foot on it, picks up the one remaining behind and places it again to take the next step. Having reached his group, the runner passes the baton to the next participant. The team that reaches the finish line first wins
