GAME ATTRACTIONS NEW YEAR

"New Year's mosaic" - The game involves two teams of three people each.

The task. Each team is given an envelope in which a proverb or a saying on a winter theme is enclosed, and each word is written out on a separate piece of paper. It is necessary in a minute to compose scattered words into a proverb or saying: “Take care of your nose in a big frost”; "Winter and summer don't get along."

"Snowball Catcher" - a comic competition in throwing "snowballs" is arranged. Two players stand facing each other at a distance of about three meters. The player in front of whom lies a “pile of snowballs” (pre-made paper) throws at the second player, who has a small waste basket in his hands. With this basket, he must catch the snowball. The task of the second player is to catch as many snowballs as possible with his basket.

One snowflake, two snowflakes... - two or more people participate in the game. Task. Blindfolded for a certain time, collect as many "snowflakes" scattered by Santa Claus as possible.

"Christmas tree elegant ..." - Both girls and boys take part in the game. Girls are Christmas trees, which young men must dress up and embellish for the holiday in a certain time. In front of each of them is a box with various ladies' cosmetics, jewelry and accessories: beads, bows, clip-on earrings, lipstick, blush, eye shadow, hairpins, Christmas decorations and tinsel. The winner is the pair of players that aroused the greatest sympathy among the audience. Voting is "regulated" by friendly applause.

"Blind Game" - Two players are involved. In front of each of them is a large sheet of paper and a pencil. Condition of the game: blindfolded, draw, for example, a snowman. The winner is the one whose drawing will come out more successful and reliable. The winner receives a "sweet prize", in the form of a large candy with a surprise "filling". Rewarding the winner, Santa Claus imperceptibly pulls the string and the “candy” popper suddenly explodes in the hands of an unsuspecting player, showering him with colorful confetti.

"My balloon fly ..." - The game is played by two or three pairs of players. They are given the task of preventing the balloon from touching the floor during a fast, rhythmic dance. The winner is a couple who successfully completed the task, which receives an amazing gift from Santa Claus as an encouragement: by tapping on the floor with his magic staff, he prophesies an amazing and brilliant future for young people.

“Two silver horses will rush me in an instant ...” - two rival players, using roller skates as ordinary skates, must simultaneously leave the “same destination”, overcome a certain distance and return safely. The winner is the one who is more confident and quickly cope with the task.

Traditions of the New Year in different countries.

Let's start with Germany, from where the tradition of decorating a Christmas tree at the New Year's Eve spread throughout the world. By the way, this tradition appeared there in the distant times of the Middle Ages. The Germans believe that Santa Claus rides on a donkey, so children put hay in their shoes to treat him. And in Berlin, at the Brandenburg Gate, the most interesting thing happens: hundreds of thousands of people pronounce toasts to the reunification of East and West Germany - the holiday is celebrated there very emotionally.

And in Vietnam, the beliefs are even more interesting - the ancestors of modern Vietnamese believed that the new year sails on the back of a carp, so today there is a tradition there to buy a live carp for the New Year and release it into a pond or river. And the main symbol of the holiday there are the branches of a blossoming peach, which are placed in the house and give each other.

Another common tradition today was given to the world by another European country - England. This is giving greeting cards to each other. And among the unusual things associated with the New Year there, one can single out the same tradition of treating a donkey with hay that the Germans have, as well as the ritual of kissing lovers under a sprig of mistletoe for the strength of relationships. And you need to do this to the sound of bells ringing at 12 o'clock in honor of the New Year. Unusually, these bells begin to ring even before 12 at night, but before the New Year comes, they are wrapped in blankets so that they sound quiet, and when it comes, the blankets are removed and they begin to ring with all their might. And in the British Isles, people literally let out the Old and let in the New Year: to do this, they first open the back door of the house when the clock starts to strike 12, and then open the front door - so that the New Year enters the house.

But Sweden gave the world the first glass Christmas decorations (in the 19th century). There, on New Year's Eve, it is customary not to turn off the lights in the houses and brightly illuminate the streets - this is a real celebration of light.

Another Europeans, the French, celebrate the New Year very extravagantly. They bake a pie in which they put one bean, whoever gets this bean is declared the bean king and on a festive night everyone obeys his orders. Yes, many of us would like such a tradition, it is strange that so far it has not reached and taken root in Russia. And good French winemakers are simply obliged to drink for the future harvest with a barrel of wine: you need to clink glasses with it and congratulate it on the New Year!

In the United States, where in 1895. the world's first luminous electric garland was hung at the White House, and from where the tradition spread around the world to write "New Year's tasks" with promises and plans for the coming year, it is not customary to arrange solemn feasts, as well as give gifts, all this is arranged there only for Christmas , and they necessarily transplant Christmas trees into the ground, and do not throw them away, as we do.

But the Finns arrange solemn meals on Christmas and New Year. It was from Finland that the tradition came to melt wax and lower it into cold water, and then guess from the resulting figures what awaits a person in the coming year.

Japan gave the world the tradition of celebrating the New Year in new clothes, building ice sculptures and castles. The most unusual tradition there is to buy a rake before the New Year, which "will help to bring more happiness."

An unusual and quite common New Year's tradition in many countries is making noise - the louder the better! Panamanians loudly shouting and knocking, ringing bells, including sirens and car horns so appease the New Year. Hungarians in the first second of the arrival of the New Year whistle loudly - drive away the bad and attract well-being. Iranians - shoot from guns.

Whatever the New Year's traditions, the most extravagant among them, nevertheless, can rightfully be considered those in which something is thrown out of the windows. So, in Cuba, at 12 o'clock, water is poured out of the windows, which is collected in advance in all the dishes in the house - thus, Cubans wish the New Year a clean and bright path like water. Italians throw old things out of the windows so that new ones take their place, and they do it with all their inherent passion, loudly and cheerfully. In some areas of Johannesburg (the capital of South Africa), refrigerators fly out of the windows, which makes the New Year in this country very dangerous, but in general it is customary to throw something old out of the windows, too, like in Italians. But in Nepal, old things are burned in large fires at sunrise.

The Bulgarians behave very unusually in the first 3 minutes of the New Year: they turn off the lights everywhere - these are the minutes of New Year's kisses, the secret of which is kept by darkness. Well, Ecuadorians left everyone far behind in terms of extravagance of New Year's traditions. The men there change into women's clothes, put on wigs and make-up to arrange a "widow's lament" for bad husbands and set dolls on fire.

But in general, all Ecuadorians believe: if you have time to put on yellow underwear during the strike of the clock, then money will fall like snow on your head, if red, then there will be happiness in your personal life, if you run around the house at the same time with a big bag or suitcase, you will be traveling all year round.

There are many more interesting New Year's traditions.
