❶ What To Do For The New Year: Ideas For Organizing A Family Holiday

New Year is a holiday enveloped in an atmosphere of magic and expectation of a miracle. At least that is how he was as a child. But traditional feasts and gatherings in front of the TV make the long-awaited holiday similar to the previous one. What to do for the New Year, and so that the holiday becomes unforgettable? Location: Location: There are games ideal for family gatherings. People of different ages can play forfeits or "crocodile" together, and no one will be bored. Forfeits are fun tasks that participants come up with before the game or are compiled in advance. Examples: “sing a song with a candy in your teeth”, “portray a perforated milk carton”, “sit under a table for 10 minutes”, etc. Forfeits are put into the hat, shuffled and pulled out in turn. The meaning of the game "crocodile" isto show your partner a hidden word or even a phrase without words.

Another game that brings families together during the holiday is "Who is this in the photo?" Children's photographs of relatives are laid out on the table. The task of the participants is to guess who it is. For fun, you can slightly change the photo in a graphics editor. Instead of providing a photo, you can tell little-known stories about someone present (just not those of whom he is ashamed). The task is the same: to guess who it is about. Competition winners can be given souvenirs or sweet prizes.

For children, you can arrange a real theatrical performance. Parents, under plausible pretexts, take turns leaving the room and dressing up in the costumes of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden. You can attract relatives and friends to participate by introducing, for example, the Snow Queen, a good fairy, a robber, etc. into the play. The simplest plot of such performances: gifts or the Snow Maiden are stolen by an evil character, but children can correct the situation by demonstrating their talents.

Arrange holiday fortune telling. Let it be comic, funny fortune-telling, so as not to spoil anyone's mood with a sad forecast. Predictions can be made up by yourself, written on pieces of paper and hidden in cookies, which each member of the family takes one by one. You can guess on a book (choosing a page and a line), on a TV (you need to turn on the channel at random and remember the first phrase spoken). And if you want more seriousness and mystery - on the Chinese Book of Changes.

If you still don't know how to celebrate the holiday, take a trip. The New Year, although a family holiday, is not necessary to celebrate it at home. The whole family can visit Santa Claus in Lapland, go to a winter fairy tale in one of the European capitals, or go to a ski resort. And if it is not difficult for you to give up the traditional New Year attributes (snow, frost, Christmas trees), then the winter holidays spent in a hot country will certainly not be forgotten!
