The presenter takes a bucket, pours some water and puts a glass in the bucket. The player must get the coin into the glass. If his coin falls into the water, the next participant throws his coin.

If a participant hits a glass with a coin, he takes all the coins from the bucket.

Relay game. A simple bucket is used as a stupa, and a mop is used as a broom. The participant stands with one foot in the bucket, the other remains on the ground. He holds the bucket by the handle with one hand, and a mop in the other hand. In this position, you need to walk the entire distance and pass the mortar and broom to the next one.

Ribbons

Outdoor games

Fanta.

You will need: an opaque bag and notes with concepts, for example, “adultery,” “stormy delight,” etc.

Each player takes turns pulling out a concept from the bag, he is given time to prepare (about a minute), and he must depict this concept without words.

Cucumber.

You will need: a large cucumber, an apple or another vegetable or fruit.

A presenter is selected. The rest of the participants stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, with their hands all behind their backs. The leader stands in the center of the circle. The apple is passed between the participants as discreetly as possible, from hand to hand. The presenter’s task is to determine who has it. When the presenter is looking in the other direction, the one who has the apple in his hands must quietly bite off a piece and pass the apple on. The players' task is to eat the whole apple.

If the leader guesses who has it, that person becomes the leader, a new apple is taken, and the game begins again.

If the apple is eaten, and the presenter could not guess even once, then he performs some kind of forfeit (at the discretion of the other guests).

At random.

The host chooses a player, sits him on a chair, and blindfolds him (or her).

Then the host randomly points to one of the guests and asks each time: “This one?” until the player answers “yes.” This way the second player is selected.

Then they continue to ask the first one, showing an arbitrary number on their fingers: “How much?” (again until an affirmative answer is received).

Then, pointing to any parts of the second player’s body, they ask the question: “Here?”

In this way, they get the answer which of the guests, how many times and where exactly the first player should kiss.

Coin.

You will need: a coin.

They choose a leader who sits on a chair, closes his eyes and presses a coin between his lips.

The remaining players stand in a row and pass each other an object (for example, a glass). When the presenter says: “Stop!”, the one who has the transferred object in his hands must come up and pull the coin out of the leader’s lips with his lips, and then return to his place.

After this, the presenter opens his eyes and tries to guess who took his coin.

When the leader guesses, the one who pulled out the coin takes his place, and the game continues.

Chained by one chain.

You will need: several colored ribbons.

All participants stand next to the leader, who clutches the ribbons in his fist, holding them by the middle. Each player quickly grabs one end of the tape, and the leader releases them. A couple holding opposite ends of the same ribbon kisses.

Strip show.

You will need: chairs (according to the number of participants).

The chairs are placed in a circle. The participants stand behind them. The presenter turns on the music - all participants move in a circle in one direction, turns it off - they stop.

Everyone must take off some thing (item of clothing) and put it on the chair next to which he stopped. And so on up to a predetermined limit. Then the participants must dress in the same manner.

The lady sent it to you.

This is an old game. They play it together, but it can also be played with a larger number of participants.

The presenter says the following phrase: “The lady sent you a toilet, there are a hundred rubles in the toilet. Take whatever you want. Don't wear black and white. Don’t say “yes” or “no”. Will you go to the ball?

The player addressed by the presenter answers, and the game continues on its own.

The host asks the participants any questions, provoking them to answer “yes” or “no” or to choose something white or black for the ball (that is, something that is prohibited by the terms of the game). Those who fall into his traps are eliminated from the game.

Blind Man's Bluff.

You will need: a blindfold.

This game has been familiar to many since childhood, but it is still interesting to play even at an older age.

Remove from the premises extra furniture to avoid injury. The presenter is blindfolded, spun around, then everyone runs away. The presenter’s task is to catch one of the players and identify him by touch. If he guesses correctly, the player who was caught becomes the leader. If not, the game continues.

Bottle.

Option 1

You will need: empty Glass bottle. All guests sit in a circle, the bottle is placed on its side and spun by one of the players. When it stops, that player must kiss whoever the neck of the bottle points to.

Option 2

You will need: an empty glass bottle, notes. Write tasks in advance on small pieces of paper, for example: “Kiss three times”, “Make a compliment”, “Wish you health”, “Dance together”, etc. The notes are rolled up into tubes and placed inside the bottle. One of the players spins the bottle. When it stops, the player to whom the neck is pointed takes a note out of the bottle. The first participant must complete the task indicated in this note.

Competitions

In any company you can offer to hold some kind of competition. This can be either a thematic competition or just a practical joke.

Advertising competition.

Nowadays, there is probably no person who does not watch TV or read newspapers. But everywhere we come across advertising. There is nothing simpler - offer to hold a so-called advertising competition.

Several participants are called. The more of them there are at the very beginning, the better. The presenter tells the rules.

Each participant, in turn (to avoid confusion, line up the players in a line) must name some advertising slogan (of any company, organization, etc., for example, “Sprite - don’t let yourself dry out,” or “Always Coca-Cola ", or "Furniture salon "Victoria" - your victory over inconvenience." Any product can be advertised: products ("Bounty - heavenly delight"), drinks ("Tea "Conversation" - created to give warmth"), cleaning products and washing powders(“Pure is pure Tide”). This could be political (“Vote with your heart”) or social (“Call your parents”) advertising.

You need to name the slogan quickly, without wasting time on thinking. The player who is lost in thought is eliminated from the game. This continues until there is only one winner left. You can somehow symbolically reward him, for example, prepare a small poster on which you can beautifully paste clippings of the most famous slogans or company names. In the middle of the poster you can leave a place for a photograph and write next to it: “A great expert in advertising.”

Beauty contest.

To conduct this competition, you can recruit participants in advance, or you can find them directly at the party. There are two options for conducting this competition.

Option 1

Participants choose original, funny costumes and attributes and answer questions from the competition organizers.

Option 2

Women are encouraged to portray men, and men – women. Of course, everything depends on the imagination of the participants.

Men can build themselves a size seven bust (no worse than Verka Serduchka’s), put on makeup, tie all sorts of bows, miniskirts look especially erotic on hairy male legs...

Women can glue on themselves a huge mustache, a beard (made of thread), put potatoes in their trousers, you understand that it’s in the front, not the back...

Questions for participants

What do you value most in members of the opposite sex?

What would you wish for all people on Earth?

What is your favorite thing to do?

If you were to play Shapoklyak (Quasimodo) in a movie, how would you portray her/him?

Please draw your favorite fruit.

Please imagine that you are a printer (copier). Depict the following actions: you are standing idle, typing, reporting that you are out of paper, chewing on paper...

You can continue the list of questions yourself, the main thing is that they are frivolous, original, and the answers to them suggest something funny.

Competition "Hit the Target"

Anything can be used as a target: a mannequin, someone's photograph, a drawing of a naked woman, just a piece of paper. The main thing is to remember to draw a center on the target, the so-called bull’s-eye, which you should hit.

Participants are called.

They must take turns shooting prepared projectiles at the target.

You can use anything as a projectile, but it is desirable that it leaves fairly noticeable marks. These can be overripe fruits, vegetables or berries (cherries, tomatoes, strawberries).

Two presenters are selected. They take in their hands a bright ribbon, a rope (you can get by with a jump rope) so that everyone has the end of this rope in their hands, and pull it together at the level of, for example, their heads. Rhythmic music is turned on, and the rest of the guests line up in a chain. Everyone must pass under this rope without touching it. The presenters lower the tape slightly after each player.

Reasons to get together

Birthdays

Remember the words from the children's song: “Unfortunately, birthdays only come once a year!” This means that it must be celebrated in such a way that later it will not be excruciatingly painful for the melancholy and boredom that reigns during the holiday; in general, every birthday should be remembered!

Congratulation games

Postcard.

First, as usual, the hero of the occasion is congratulated. To do this, you can prepare a congratulation template in advance, in which all adjectives are omitted. The text is written in beautiful postcard, empty space is left for missing words.

On this ____________________ and ____________________ day, when so many ____________________ and ____________________ friends have gathered in this ____________________ and ____________________ hall, at this ____________________ table, we want ____________________ to congratulate our ____________________ and ____________________ birthday boy! We want ____________________ to wish him (her) ____________________ days of life, ____________________ health, ____________________ friends and ____________________ love!

May he (she) be the most ____________________ on earth, may ____________________ success and ____________________ luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your friends.

The text of the congratulations may be different, at your discretion. The one who prepared this congratulation at the holiday itself asks all the other guests to help him with the text. Guests should name any adjectives that come to mind, the host writes them down one by one, gradually filling in all the empty spaces.

When the congratulation is ready, the presenter solemnly reads it out. The texts are very diverse, depending on the adjectives proposed at random, for example: deep, first, good, expensive, lazy, full, precious, correct, affectionate, harmful, powerful, honest, happy, rich, expensive, small, best, whole, ticklish.

This is the text we will get in the end:

On this deep and first day, when so many lazy and overweight friends have gathered in this good and expensive hall, at this precious table, we want to properly congratulate our affectionate and mischievous birthday boy! We want to powerfully wish him (her) honest days of life, happy health, rich friends and expensive love!

Let him (she) be the smallest on earth, let the best success and good luck accompany him in life!

Happy birthday!

Your ticklish friends.

Wishes.

For this congratulation you will need a fairly long rope, thread and a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is pulled in the room at the chest level of the birthday boy. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish to the hero of the occasion. It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes, and it is better that they are not repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, the birthday boy is blindfolded, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of his wishes (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What the birthday boy chose for himself at random will definitely appear in his possession this year.

Congratulations in verse.

Take a blank sheet of paper (preferably a long one) and pass it around the circle of guests. Each guest is invited to write a line of a poem (one at a time).

This greeting has two options.

Option 1. The first of the guests writes a line so that its last word is written on a separate line, then the sheet is folded so that the main text is not visible, but only the rhyme is visible, and the sheet is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, and so that this text can also be closed, and the last word can be seen.

Happy Birthday.

Congratulations,

Happiness, joy.

We have a lot of gifts.

Good love.

Then the sheet is unfolded and the entire poem is read aloud to the birthday person.

Option 2. The first line is given (the presenter can suggest it) and written on a piece of paper.

The first of the guests writes his line in rhyme, closes the entire text (folds the piece of paper) and writes another line for the next “poet”. The piece of paper is passed further around the circle. The next guest must write his line in rhyme, fold the piece of paper and offer his second line to his neighbor.

It turns out something like this:

Our dear Sveta!

Always be, winter and summer,

The red sun is brighter,

We'll all have more fun...

Undress the birthday boy.

In advance, secretly from the hero of the occasion, a full-length figure of a man is made from cardboard. It is desirable that this mannequin be as similar as possible to the birthday boy (birthday girl).

Clothes cut out of paper are put on the mannequin. Then the host plays a game: all guests are asked questions related to the hero of the day (for example, when he was born, where, favorite dish, favorite color, etc.). For each correct answer, some clothing is removed from the mannequin. In the end, the mannequin remains either completely naked or covered in intimate places leaves with wishes (leaves can be replaced with greeting cards).

Find a greeting.

They write a congratulation on a piece of paper in advance (preferably in verse, but not necessarily), cut it into separate lines (or phrases) and place these pieces of paper in the folds of clothing (if the birthday boy is a man, then they hide it in the girls’ clothes, and vice versa). The hero of the occasion must, amid the shouts of the guests “cold - hot,” find all the lines as quickly as possible (you can turn on some fast, rhythmic music). Then the text is folded and read aloud.

Portrait The hero of the occasion is seated so that everyone can see him. A blank piece of Whatman paper is placed next to it. Each of the guests in turn must blindfolded approach the sheet, take a pencil (or felt-tip pen) and draw some part of the birthday person’s body. Then the next participant comes up. When the portrait is finished, they put a cool congratulatory inscription on it and give it to the hero of the day.

Kisses.

Take the baby doll and run it around the guests in a circle. Each of the guests should congratulate the birthday boy, and then, declaring: “I kiss (name of the hero of the day) on (part of the body),” kiss the baby doll in the place he named. You can't repeat yourself! Of course, decent body parts quickly run out, and nothing limits the flight of imagination further...

When the doll has passed a full circle, the presenter announces: “And now everyone must kiss the birthday boy himself where he just named!”

You can try to pay off the birthday boy (if you don’t want to kiss him).

New Year

Every year everyone in the world (both children and adults) is ready to believe in a fairy tale, in a miracle. This happens in winter, when the house is filled with the smell of pine needles, snow crunches under the windows and even the stars seem to burn brighter...

Fortune telling

On Christmastide or New Year, girls can arrange real fortune-telling. Usually, with the help of fortune telling, they want to find out the name and appearance of the betrothed, or how the future family will live, or to answer the questions that torment a person. Choose any of the fortune telling below and try to look into the future. Maybe something will work out for you...

Subtle fortune telling.

Everyone present in the room takes off something. In the old days, this was usually a ring, but you can give any piece of jewelry: an earring, bracelet, beads, brooch, hairpin, etc. All these things are placed on a plate or large dish, which is covered with an opaque scarf or any other fabric. Then the fortuneteller makes a prediction (once upon a time songs were sung as predictions, but you can simply say your wishes; of course, predictions must be good, although in the old days there were divine songs that even predicted early death...), takes it out without looking , any thing and asks who it belongs to. Accordingly, the future was predicted for the owner of the item taken out.

If you don't believe in fortune telling in principle, you can turn everything into a show. To do this, you can sing pre-selected verses from famous pop songs as follow-up notes and then address them directly to the owner of the removed jewelry.

For example, the verse is sung:

“Bananas, coconuts.

Orange paradise.

You just have to want it

Maybe the stars

You just have to want it

Collect from the sky..."

Then they take out some thing without looking, ask who it belongs to, and “translate” the prediction: “An unforgettable vacation awaits you this summer!”

Fortune telling with mirrors.

Girls usually tell fortunes about their grooms. The device is placed on the table, two mirrors are placed opposite each other behind it, so that a small corridor appears to be formed between them, and two candles are placed on each side. The girl turns off the light in the room, sits down at the table, lights candles and says: “Mummer, betrothed, come have dinner with me.” Then she sits and looks in the mirror for a long time. When the face of her betrothed appears to her, she must throw the prepared scarf over the mirror.

Fortune telling with a ring.

Pour water into a glass. Take for fortune telling wedding ring, tie a thread to it. The fortuneteller holds the end of the thread in his hands and asks a question, and then brings the ring on the thread to the glass so that it does not touch the water and watches. If the ring moves over the water in a circle to the left, then this means “yes”, to the right - “no”.

Fortune telling for children.

You can tell fortunes on any day, not only on Christmastide. A person who wants to know how many children and what gender he will have extends his left hand, palm up. The fortuneteller takes a needle and thread and holds it above his palm. If the needle moves in a circle, the first child will be a girl; if from left to right or top to bottom, the first child will be a boy. When the needle freezes, take it to the side and then bring it again. This way you can find out the gender of all other children and their estimated number. Fortune telling stops when the needle held to the palm does not move.

Fortune telling with a glass of water.

This fortune telling allows you to get answers to all questions, but only during Christmas week.

The question should be such that it can be answered “yes” or “no”.

The fortuneteller takes a glass, pours seven tablespoons of water into it (measure exactly, this is important!), asks a question (for example, will I get married this year?) and goes to bed. After that you can’t talk to anyone anymore!

In the morning, when they wake up, they check (again carefully!) how much water is in the glass. If the water has decreased, then the answer is negative, and if it has increased, the answer is positive.

Fortune telling with chicken.

If almost all previous fortune-telling is designed for one person, then this fortune-telling will amuse the whole company.

They are telling fortunes for the New Year. Any grain is scattered on the floor in the room, and then a chicken is brought into the room. If the chicken immediately begins to peck the grain, it means that the year will be nourishing and fruitful.

And if she is quietly doing some other business, wait for a hungry year, our ancestors believed.

Fortune telling with a Christmas tree.

At night they lay out the tree around the tree blank sheets paper (same size). Each sheet corresponds to a month of the year (accordingly, you need to put twelve sheets). In the morning they check: which piece of paper has more fallen spruce needles on it, that month will be richer and happier.

In general, they look to see how many needles have fallen off. If there is a lot, then the year as a whole will be fruitful and rich.

Fortune telling with rods.

In the evening everyone leaves the house and sticks rods into the snow. In the morning they look: those whose twigs remain standing will have a successful year; Anyone whose twig has fallen should be careful.

Fortune telling with a log.

The girls, without looking, pull out a log from the woodpile. If a girl pulls out a knotty log, it means she will be married to a rich man, if a smooth one, it means she will marry a poor one.

There was another interpretation of this fortune telling. If a girl pulls out a smooth log, it means her husband will be smooth and affectionate.

If he pulls out a knotty one, it means that the husband’s character will be quarrelsome.

Fortune telling by names.

The girls go out into the street and ask the names of the first passers-by they come across. According to legend, whatever the guy’s name is, that’s what the husband’s name will be. If a woman comes across first, it means that the future mother-in-law will have that name.

Fortune telling by shoe.

“Once on Epiphany evening the girls wondered: they took a shoe off their foot and threw it behind the gate...” We are all familiar with these lines from childhood. Indeed, such fortune telling also existed. The girl went outside, took off her shoe and threw it away. Where he points with his toe is where the girl will live after marriage.

Fortune telling with an onion.

Take an onion and cut it into 12 equal parts (according to the number of months in the year). Then each part is sprinkled with salt and left overnight. In the morning they look at which part of the salt is wet - that month will be rainy. If the salt remained dry, it means there will be no rain for a month.

Fortune telling by wax.

Place the candle fragments into a large spoon and hold the spoon over the fire until all the wax has melted. Then the melted wax is quickly poured into the prepared bowl with cold water. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune telling by shadow.

Take a large sheet of paper, crumple it up, put it on a plate and set it on fire. The plate with ashes is held so that the shadow of the resulting lump falls on the wall. The future is judged by the resulting figure.

Fortune-telling pranks

These fortune telling require preliminary preparation.

Fortune telling by cards.

This fortune telling can be done both on New Year's holidays and at any time of the year. Leaves with predictions are prepared in advance (it is advisable that these are not just cut-up notebook leaves, but cards, for example). The text of the predictions can be anything. The prediction itself may already contain a joke, or as a joke, the same phrase is written at the end of each prediction.

For example, a card may contain the following text: “Good luck awaits you in the New Year, glory will knock on your doors. Open your doors to Slava - he is a good man.” Another option is to write different predictions on all the cards and end everything the same way. For example, “In the summer, new acquaintances and amazing sex await you,” “You will receive many orders from production and amazing sex awaits you.” The funny thing is that all these predictions are read out loud by the “recipients”, and on the third or fourth wish for “amazing sex” everyone begins to fall into hysterics, of course from laughter.

Fortune telling with balloons.

So, you have already decided on the list of invitees. Buy several more balloons than the number of expected guests. Write your predictions on pieces of paper. They can contain any text, for example: “Start coming up with a name” (clearly, we are talking about the birth of a child) or “Start saving money - and then you will have a wonderful vacation at the resort.” You can come up with the text yourself or consult with friends and family. It is still advisable that as few people as possible know about this draw in advance, otherwise they will no longer be so interested.

Fortune telling by keychains.

Nowadays a wide variety of keychains are sold. Buy everything you can find, pack them in gift paper and put them in one capacious bag (you can sew it yourself or use a regular bag).

At the holiday, each of the guests will have to pull out one keychain without looking, unfold it, and you will tell them what awaits the guest in the New Year.

For example, a keychain in the shape of a doll - expect a new addition to the family, an organizer - success in business awaits you, a cigarette - take care of your health, a flashlight - you will be as perspicacious as ever.

Fortune telling for the betrothed.

It is better not to reveal the secret of this fortune telling to anyone. In the company you talk about how you know how (really know how!) to predict the name of your betrothed. It can even be read on your hand. Choose a “victim” for yourself, take her hand in yours, whisper something (for mystery), then burn a few matches, roll up your sleeve to your elbow, take a handful of burnt matches and rub them into your hand. Lo and behold, the name actually appears on your hand!

Let's reveal a secret: you first write the name on your hand with soap. When you rub burnt matches, your hand turns black, but the letters written with soap remain white! Of course, in order to tell fortunes to the next person, you will first need to wash your hands. Then write the following name on dry skin. And so on until you have told fortunes to everyone who wants them, and you will have plenty of them!

Fortune telling with wishes.

For this fortune telling you will need a long rope, thread and a needle, a dark blindfold, scissors, and paper.

The rope is stretched in the room at chest level. Then all the guests present cut out from paper what they would like to wish each other in the New Year (such figures can be prepared in advance by one of those present, for example the organizer of the holiday). It can be anything: a car, a baby doll, money, a computer, etc. The main thing is that there should be a lot of wishes and they should not be repeated. Then all these figures cut out of paper are attached with a needle and thread to a rope stretched in advance, each of the guests is blindfolded in turn, and he must reach the rope and randomly cut off one of the wishes for himself (choosing a figure by touch is not allowed). What a person chose for himself at random will definitely appear to him this year.

Fortune telling on a sheet of paper.

Everyone who wants to tell fortunes is given a piece of paper and a pen. The letters are written in a column on the piece of paper:

In the second column they write:

Opposite each abbreviation in the first column, all participants write one line from the song (any), in the second column, opposite each abbreviation, they write a proverb.

When everyone has filled out their pieces of paper (it is advisable that there are not too many fortune tellers, otherwise you can get confused), the presenter deciphers the abbreviations:

GDS – one year before the wedding;

MDS – a month before the wedding;

VAT – a week before the wedding;

DDS – day before the wedding;

DS – wedding day;

DPS – the day after the wedding;

NPS – week after the wedding;

MPS – month after the wedding;

GPS – one year after the wedding;

DD is the motto of friendship;

DL – the motto of love;

DP is the motto of the bed;

JJ is the motto of life.

Most often, quite funny combinations are obtained, for example: the bed motto is “Measure twice, cut once,” the wedding day is “I got drunk,” etc.

Fortune telling with matches.

You can play a prank on one of the guests by inviting him to tell fortunes for his betrothed.

The main thing is to choose a non-offensive person so that the joke does not turn into a quarrel.

They ask the fortuneteller to take an arbitrary number of matches out of the box, break off the heads of sulfur and insert the pieces into his mouth, ears, or wherever he wants. Then they bring the “victim” to the mirror and ask: “Well, who needs you?”

Fortune telling with a cigarette.

Offer to tell someone's hand. Having chosen one of those interested, declare that you know new way fortune telling along the lines of the hand using cigarette ash. Take the right hand of the person to whom you are going to tell fortunes, and gently shake off the ashes from a lit cigarette into his palm (it won’t hurt, but if you are very afraid, you can pour the already cooled ashes onto your palm). Then ask your “guinea pig” to make as many circles (clockwise) with the thumb of his left hand on his ash-covered palm as he is full years old. When the procedure is completed, with a thoughtful look, having examined the palm of the “victim”, declare: “Hmm yes... Well, I have to tell you... You are a bad ashtray!”

Fortune telling in your pocket.

Write or print out all kinds of predictions in advance (the texts of the predictions can be taken from the Book of Changes, from any other books, you can even use poetic lines), place them discreetly in the pockets of the guests, and shortly before the chimes strike (or immediately after it) invite everyone to find them at your place these predictions and read them out.

The second version of this fortune telling: when all these pieces of paper are put together, for example, in an old big hat and the guests take turns pulling them out according to the prediction. You can even play the old fashioned game and, if you have a parrot, teach it to pull out pieces of paper. Then each guest will receive a prediction from a “learned bird.”

Masquerade ball

Have you already chosen the appropriate fortune telling? Then you urgently need to organize a gala reception on the occasion of the New Year, where you can show off your knowledge.

You can organize a masquerade ball yourself, but you will have to prepare for it in advance.

First, make a guest list. Send invitations to everyone you want to see at this New Year's party (at least a couple of months in advance), specifying that this will be a masquerade, so costumes and masks are a must.

Don't forget about your suit. Don't put off sewing it for too long.

Having received answers from those invited (surely everyone will not be able to come due to the most various reasons), look at the menu.

It has already become a tradition to prepare salads “Olivier” and “Herring under a fur coat” for the New Year. You can support the tradition, or you can set the table in a special way.

By the way, decide where the feast will take place in advance. If you and your friends prefer restaurant food, discuss the menu with everyone invited and decide how much it will cost you. The money issue should be resolved in any case, no matter where the holiday takes place - in a cafe, restaurant, in the open air or in your apartment. Please note that the dimensions of the latter may simply not correspond to the selected event.

Now many schools and kindergartens make their living by renting out premises for such large-scale events. It costs less than a cafe.

So, the issue of the venue has been resolved. Let's now fully understand the menu. You can cook everything yourself (though then your only desire will be to lie down somewhere in a quiet, cozy place and sleep peacefully throughout New Year’s Eve), you can hire an assistant (most often at your own peril and risk, since you don’t know her culinary abilities ), or you can equally distribute all the work between the invitees (make sure that the work is really divided equally, because preparing some incredibly complex dish is not the same as slicing bread for the table).

Start decorating the banquet hall. The easiest way to do this is if you celebrate the holiday in own apartment, there you can do everything gradually, without rushing. If you choose a restaurant, you will not have any hassle at all; decorating the hall for the New Year is considered a matter of honor for the administrator.

If your option is a canteen (school or kindergarten), you will have to work hard.

Prepare all kinds of posters in advance, for example: “2004 is the year of the Monkey”, “Long live the New Year!”, “In the year of the Ox we wish women more bulls, men more horns!”, “So that this year we are attacked by crazy money and we We couldn’t fight them off!”, “May the New Year bring good luck!”, “May we have everything in the New Year and not have to pay anything for it!” and etc.

You can hang Christmas tree balls, garlands, tinsel, and rain on the walls and chandeliers. Traditionally, the main decoration of the New Year is the Christmas tree; you can make beautiful wreaths from spruce branches, put pine or spruce branches in vases, both floor and tabletop. On glass and mirrors you can draw snowflakes, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden, and a bag of gifts. Moreover, it is better to draw figures with gouache, and snowflakes can be drawn with tooth powder diluted with water.

Snowflakes can be cut out in advance from paper - white, silver, gold and even colored - and also decorate the walls with them.

You can arrange a buffet table or a real feast. But remember: since you decide to do without a traditional TV during the holiday, be sure to make sure that you and your guests do not get bored. Hold a win-win lottery and all kinds of competitions. Prepare some interesting toasts.

And don't forget that you are throwing a costume party! In the old days, all those invited to the masquerade were already wearing masks, and the dancing lasted until midnight. At exactly midnight, all guests took off their masks.

You can arrange something like this. If you gather a lot of strangers or people who don’t know each other well, you can even hold a competition.

New Year's games

Recognition competition.

A large box is placed in a prominent place in the hall, with pieces of paper and pens lying nearby. Guests can come to this box and write down all the masks they recognize (for example, Fox - Alenka from apartment five, etc.). Each guest must sign their message. After midnight, when the masks are removed, you can start summing up the results. The guest who guesses the largest number of masks receives a prize.

Other competitions.

You can hold a competition for the best male and female costume, for the best couple, and choose the king and queen of the evening.

The knight must show his lady all sorts of attention, trying to do it as unnoticeably as possible (say veiled toasts in her honor, cast his vote for her when choosing the queen of the holiday, etc.). The role of the lady is to recognize her knight (or knights). In the general noise and commotion, this is not so easy to do.

After the game, you can reward the most tactful knight and the most insightful lady.

About the dignity of being a guest and being present at festivities.

Before appearing, a multinational guest must be:

- I wash carefully, without skipping any places, I shave carefully, so as not to cause any damage to the ladies’ tenderness with vile stubble;

- half hungry and just a little drunk.

When you come to visit, familiarize yourself with the layout of the house in advance, with ease, especially noting the location of the closets, and put the information aside in that part of the mind that is less prone to guilt than others.

Consume food in moderation, so that your heavy belly does not interfere with your dancing. Drink the potion as much as your legs can hold; If they refuse, drink while sitting.

Do not offer it to someone who is lying down, so as not to choke, even if he asks. Glory to those who choked, for this death has been honorable since ancient times in Rus'.

If you don’t know what to do, rely on your wife - she is the guardian of the state’s vigil.

Place the drunk ones carefully so as not to damage them and not interfere with the dancing. Fold separately, respecting the floor, otherwise you won’t be embarrassed when you wake up.

Having sensed trouble, do not panic, but quickly follow to the designated place, do not hesitate along the way and use all your strength to maintain the belly that villainously betrayed you in the fortress.

Being without a wife, or even, God willing, single, look at the ladies’ charms not with open greed, but on the sly - they notice this too, don’t hesitate. In this manner, you will respect them, and you will not be considered impudent. Use your hands, being very careful and only having received a clear sign that it is allowed, otherwise you will wear your embarrassment on your face for a long time.

Without singing there is no joy in Rus', but it begins at the master’s sign. Don’t get into a rage and listen to your neighbor - by braying alone, you become like Valaam’s donkey, and with your musicality and sweet voice, on the contrary, you will earn many praises from the guests. Remember, a lady’s heart is malleable to music.

It happens that you pass out during a violent drinking session, and the next morning you wake up with the inscription on your forehead “Kolyanych is a fool” and a Hitler mustache drawn under your nose. The most offensive thing is that you drank alone yesterday... After such cases, one has to admit that libation in itself is a valuable activity in itself. And yet, since ancient times, humanity has tried to turn this generally simple process into something more. So, apparently, alcohol competitions appeared.

The first written mention of drunken games can be found already in Plato’s “Symposium”. The ancient Greek feaster had to fill the cup with wine, drain it, slam the bottom and pass the vessel to his neighbor. Since then, the registry of alcohol games has grown greatly, and the rules have become more complex. However, not to such an extent that a drunk person would not understand them.

Well, let's go?
