It’s possible to organize a New Year’s quest at home; you just need to stock up on the script, paraphernalia and gifts for the participants. We'll tell you what you need to have a fun New Year's holiday.

Introduction and script outline

The characters are the presenter, Father Frost and Baba Yaga, appropriately dressed in carnival costumes. Santa Claus speaks first and says the following words:

Guys! I am so pleased that you invited me to your holiday. You are very talented, you told wonderful poems, sang beautiful songs, and danced so much that I, a gray-haired old man, wanted to dance. For this I will give everyone a very good gift that I brought with me in this magic bag. Oh, where's the bag itself? He has gone! Was it really stolen?!

Bab Yaga says: Of course he’s gone! What, you old fool, didn’t you notice? Ask the guys for help and if they are as smart as they are talented, they will help you find the bag. If you find it, you will take your gifts.

The presenter divides the participants into 2-3 teams and informs them that they need to pass 3 series of tests. After each episode, participants will be given clues to where the bag is. Three clues yield one answer.

First series of tests

The New Year's quest begins with a series of tasks for which you need to prepare and print the appropriate props.

To conduct a New Year's quest for children, printed cards are required, which should be correctly combined based on their meaning.

Match flags and countries

For this test, print out 5 flags and 5 names of the states that own those flags.

Kids must match pairs of cards correctly.

Language of congratulations

At this stage, participants need to correctly combine cards with the name of the country and Happy New Year greetings in the official language of that country. Here is an example of what was written on the cards:

Greek – Kenourios Chronos – Kenourios Chronos;
German – Frohes Neues Jahr – Frohes Neues Jahr;
Ukrainian – With New Rock – With New Rock;
Czech – Scastny Novy Rok – Happy new rock;
English – Happy New Year – Happy New Year;
Vietnamese – Chuc Mung Tan Nien – Chuc Mung Tan Nien.

Guess the treat

The next task asks participants to guess what the favorite New Year treat is for residents of different countries. Answer options are also on the cards that need to be combined. Some cards have the names of countries on them, while others have their favorite national dishes. The information on the cards is approximately as follows:

The British.
The traditional dish is turkey and pudding.
Germans.
A favorite pastime for the New Year holidays is treating friends with pies in which leaves with predictions and wishes are baked.
Italians.
These people believe that if you eat Lentika on New Year’s Eve, then wealth and luck will become a person’s faithful companions. And Lentike is just lentil porridge.
Bulgarians.
People probably have the strongest teeth in the world because they eat pie with various objects. If you find a nut in the pie, then next year things will go uphill, a coin will mean money, a paper clip will mean you will meet your best friend, a foil ball will bring you a brilliant idea, a sprig of roses will mean you will be lucky in love.
Poles.
12 dishes are placed on the table according to the number of months of the year. Mushrooms, dumplings, chocolate cookies and cakes, porridge with prunes, and a fish appetizer are a must on the table. Fish is considered a symbol of prosperity and family happiness.

Second series of tests

The tasks of the second series of the New Year's quest for teenagers continue with a game with cards and New Year's riddles.

Guess the country according to tradition

It is necessary to combine the name of the country on the card and traditional activities for the New Year. Countries and events can be like this:

India.
The year here meets at sunrise. Residents believe that the beginning of a new day will predetermine the course of the next year, so on this day no one quarrels or swears, but only rejoices and celebrates. At sunrise, it is customary to put yourself in order, think about a good future, and make plans. During the day they enjoy flying kites and competing in archery, and large areas host local theater performances.
Japan.
In this country, it is customary to give cards with drawings of an animal, the patron saint of the coming year. At midnight, temple bells are rung 108 times because the numbers 100 and 8 are considered lucky. The day before, everyone pays off their debts and tries to close their loans. At night you are supposed to sleep in order to get up with the first rays of the sun and begin the celebration. A popular attraction on the streets is the Dancing Tiger, portrayed by four men in suits.
Italy.
Residents of the country believe that they need to get rid of everything old, so they throw furniture, old utensils and home textiles out the window, and then light sparklers and clap firecrackers with confetti. The sorceress Befana flies to the children on a broom, enters the house through a pipe and puts gifts in the prepared socks.
Scotland.
The holiday is noisy and fun. Already a few days before the holiday, musicians and singers perform on the streets. Street shops sell whistles, squeakers, masks and balloons. Before the onset of the New Year, all family members sit down near the fireplace, look at the fire and plan for the future, and when the clock strikes 12, the head of the family opens the door wide, letting out the Old Year and letting in the New.
Bulgaria.
This country offers a rare opportunity to kiss Santa Claus. When the clock shows midnight, the lights in the house turn off and at that moment it is possible to find the wizard in the darkness and kiss him. This comic belief foretells well-being for the one who succeeds. And when the lights turn on, the festive dinner begins.

What gifts are given in different countries?

In this house quest task, you need to combine a card with the name of the country with a card that describes what gifts are customary to give in these countries. And the options are as follows:

England.
In this country it is not customary to give expensive and prim gifts. Mostly gifts are T-shirts with slogans, beer mugs, postcards and other inexpensive things.
Greece.
The basis of the gift is always a stone. A big one means a wish for a rich and well-fed life, a small one means a desire to easily overcome obstacles. Residents often give decks of handmade cards, and a classic gift is a basket filled with a variety of fruits.
Eskimos.
They give each other ice sculptures that last for several decades and do not deteriorate.
China.
The inhabitants of this country love paired gifts, so you only need to give a couple of cups, candlesticks, Christmas tree decorations and other gifts. A couple is a symbol of family happiness and prosperity. You cannot give a watch, no matter how expensive it is.
Russia.
Gifts are always given here, with or without reason. The cost does not matter and if a person wants to give a gift, beware, nothing will stop him. And not a single New Year is complete without sets of sweets with tangerines.

Find a gift

In this quest for children, they are asked to start looking for gifts that symbolize good luck. There are many souvenirs and figurines on offer, among which you need to find all the symbols of good luck:

Tips and gifts

Did you like this quest?

YesNo

At the end of each series of New Year's quest tests and as a reward, the presenter gives the teams a hint in poetic form, cut into lines. The text is as follows:

You can always find her in the forest
Let's go for a walk and meet.
Stands prickly like a hedgehog
In winter in a summer dress.
And the New Year will come to us,
The guys will be happy
The troubles of the merry ones are full:
They are preparing her outfits.

By combining all the lines correctly, the children will be able to understand where to find the gifts.

Bottom line

Recently, quests for the New Year have become a popular entertainment for children and adults. It is very easy to carry out a quest at home; you should stock up on tasks, tips, broken into parts and, of course, prizes for which the children will complete the tasks. Children not only spend time actively, but also gain new knowledge, learn to use existing knowledge, and develop eruditely.

What tasks can you come up with for the New Year's quest? How to make the quest for the New Year interesting and educational? Here are the Top 7 tasks for the New Year's quest.

How to start the quest

To start New Year's quest a riddle, an unexpected finding of an object or letter, or receiving a “problem” to set up the plot of the quest will do. And then the child searches and collects clues. Here Top 7 tasks for the New Year's quest. They are simple and at the same time exciting. In addition, these games perfectly develop attention, memory, reading skills, counting and logic.

TOP 7 tasks for the New Year's quest

1. Assemble the puzzle

Kids can be asked to assemble a picture from 2-4 parts, older children - from a larger number of smaller ones, but no more than 10 pieces. The resulting picture will serve as the next clue. You can assemble a puzzle from paper, printed or drawn by hand, a regular store-bought one, you can write letters on the back of the puzzle, and when the child completes the puzzle, he can turn it over and read the clue word. You can also stick a color picture on a large construction set and let him assemble the puzzle on the construction set!

2. Encryption

All kinds encryption is just the heart of the quest! Instead of a letter there are numbers or pictures, and next to it is a code with a decoding. The child deciphers the hidden word or sentence using the code (although the latter is quite difficult even for reading children, but it’s worth it). This also includes tasks to read a word from the first letters of the pictures: for example, the word “teapot” is guessed, and we give the child a sequence of pictures: Clock, Orange, Yogurt, Sock, Turkey, Cat.

3. Add the sequence

Usually, as a result of laying out the sequence, a clue word is obtained. For example, you can ask your child to lay out the objects from largest to smallest, and glue letters on the back side. Or you need to supplement the series by giving several answer options. For example, we make a Christmas tree garland and 3 colors: red, yellow, blue. And next to it we give a decoding that if we insert red - look, say, in the table, blue - on the mirror, yellow - in the sofa. Depending on what color of the ball you need to insert, we look for the next clue.

4. Labyrinth

Labyrinths perfectly develop a child’s fine motor skills, training the movements of the hand and fingers, which is necessary for the development of speech and. For kids, let these be very simple paths according to the plot of your New Year's quest, and for older children or those who already read, you can collect letters while moving through the maze.

5. Math assignments

Counting tasks, solving examples, mathematical coloring pages (by numbers), logic problems (this is NOT this and NOT that). The simplest thing is: solve the example and choose the correct answer - that’s where we’ll go further.

6. Sensory boxes

Interesting tasks that are especially good for kids, since under 4 years old children urgently need to receive as many different tactile sensations as possible. Quest task maybe you can find something in the cereal (any filler: rice, buckwheat, beans, seeds). But here you need to look very carefully at the child’s reaction: there are children with hypersensitive skin for whom this task can cause discomfort.

7. Experiments and experiences

The most common experiment for a quest is to write a clue word with milk, and then heat the paper and the invisible word will appear. Or you can write it with a white wax crayon or a candle, and then paint it over with watercolors - the places of the letters will remain unpainted and the word will appear. But it’s better to practice doing these experiments in advance to make sure that the trick is a success :)

Here are some examples ready-made tasks for the New Year's quest.

Progress of entertainment:

Hello guys. This morning I found a letter on the porch of the kindergarten. But the letter is not simple, it is from the Snowman. Let's open it and read it quickly.

LETTER ---

Hello my friends! I need your help.

I walked through the forest with a map, got lost and disappeared,

There was a map to help me, but the magpie took it away.

Now I’m sitting alone among huge ice floes.

I am sending you a letter with hope, please help me!

So that you don’t go astray and can find me,

I wrote you tips and left them in snowflakes.

Guys, let's all find the lost snowman together. But for this you will need to pass difficult tests, overcome obstacles and be brave, courageous, and dexterous. We can handle it!

Well, then go ahead! Snowman is waiting for help! Let's look around carefully, maybe we can find the first clue snowflake. (children look around and find the first clue snowflake, on the back is a riddle)

"If you want to become smart,

To find all the books of the century

Come to...the library."

(Children go to the book corner and find another star, there is a riddle on the back)

"If you're going somewhere,

She will show you the right path.

Feel free to go wherever you want

It will lead you exactly to your goal." (map)

Guys, let's see what book the map might be in.

Children. Probably in a book about winter and New Year. They examine and... K A R T U N A S H L I!

Well done boys! With the help of this card we will definitely save our Snowman. But bad luck, there are a lot of different roads on the map. How can we find the only path that will lead us to the Snowman? (listens to the children's answers). But the Snowman wrote to us that he left clues for us on snowflakes, which means you and I must follow the road on which there are snowflake marks. (Looks at the map with the children)

We will take the map in our hands and overcome all the obstacles!

“White flakes are flying, quietly falling, circling. Everything turned white. What covered the paths?” (Snowflakes)

Now we have entered the winter forest, can you hear the snow crunching? Guys, do you know why this happens? (children's answers). When it's cold, the snow crunches as millions of snowflakes break under your feet.

Children do the task "Collect broken snowflakes". Throughout the group, on inflatable balloons, there are silhouettes of different snowflakes, with one part missing. Children need to assemble a broken snowflake by adding a piece, first catching the ball and removing the snowflake.

After completing the task, children find another clue on the back of one of the snowflakes.

You move forward quickly. And solve the problem.

Children approach the water containers and complete the task "What's Hiding in the Water".

Look guys. The cups before us are not simple in them. wonderful water. There is something in it, but we don’t see it, what do you think is there? (children's answers)

1. It does not burn in fire, and does not sink in water. (ice)

2. Transparent, like glass, and cannot be inserted into a window. (ice). 3. The fish will live through the winter warm: roof - thick glass. (ice)

Well done guys, you completed this task. We've solved all the riddles, and now let's go to our cups and pull the strings and see what we can get out of the water. The children each pull out a string. And there's a piece of ice there. Under one of the cups there is a snowflake - a clue.

“The banks of the rivers are connected together by a suspended miracle - crystal-ice.” (suspension bridge) Leading.

The ice will melt and then the bridge will disappear forever. We need to hurry to help our friends.

Children do the task “Draw magical ice floes”. Two ropes are laid out on the floor in the form of a track - a suspension bridge. On "bridge" there are silhouettes of geometric shapes of different sizes - these are places of destruction on the bridge, in order to cross the bridge it needs to be repaired, i.e. put on the silhouettes "drawn magic ice floes"(children independently draw snowflakes on white geometric shapes) and when the bridge is repaired, children can walk across it. On one of "ice" the children find another clue.

Leading. “You need to find a stone,

Three roads behind.

Look closely at the traces

Determine the right path."

Complete the task "Guess whose footprint". All participants move forward and find a big "stone". Three roads go from it in different directions. On the tracks of animals, two of which hibernate in winter, and one does not sleep in winter. (bear, hedgehog, hare). Nearby there are photographs of these animals on stands and one extra animal (any, at the host’s choice). Children need to find out which animal the tracks belong to and put a photo of this animal next to it.

Well done boys. And you completed this task, but how do you know which of these three roads we should take next? Nothing is said about this here, perhaps here you and I should be smart and think carefully. If a bear and a hedgehog hibernate in winter, then they cannot help us in any way, but the hare is cheerful and cheerful all year round, which means we need to follow the path where the hare’s tracks are.

Having walked forward a little, they find another snowflake with another clue. All participants in the entertainment fall into a trap and complete the task "Snow Barrier".

Leading. “Oh, guys, there’s so much snow! Let's run! We’ll take the snowy fortress with a running start.”

In the middle of a group of large builders, an ice fortress was built in a semicircle. To go further, we need to destroy the fortress and they will help us with this "sunny bunnies"- medicine balls.

Well done guys, we have overcome another obstacle.

A Snowman comes out from behind the fortress, holding a large box in his hands.

Snowman.

And to find out what surprise I have in the box, you need to pass one last test and find the key. You need to collect puzzles with images of heroes without which the holiday will never come.

(The fairy follows all the commands together with the children.) Now - on your knees. Well done! And now I’ll joke: say one thing, but show something completely different. Try to follow my commands correctly.

(The fairy takes her head with her hands and says: “Knees!” The children get confused, laugh, even the most concentrated ones don’t succeed right away)

Fairy: Everyone tried, had fun, played, frolicked! Now it's time for us to hit the road! You just need to take the key! She hid it in a magic closet so that no one would take it. And you won’t lose yourself along the way! Do you want to see him? (The fairy takes the children to the closet.) But in order to open the cabinet, you need to say the password! Can you help? (Children: Yes!) Repeat the magic words: (children repeat the words, blow)

Magic wardrobe open

The key appears soon

Let's blow once, and twice, and three,

What's hiding inside?

The fairy opens the closet door, and inside there is an empty shelf.

Fairy: What's happened? Where is the key? Who will help us now? After all, without a magic key, you can’t open a casket with gifts? Let's call the Snow Maiden, she certainly knows how to help us. We will call the Snow Maiden like this: Snow Maiden, ay-ay! Do you hear me calling you! (children repeat words)

Beautiful music sounds, the Snow Maiden appears in the dance.

Snow Maiden: Hello children!

I want to meet you

The most fun holiday in the world.

We will sing and dance,

Let's celebrate the New Year!

Fairy: Hello, Snow Maiden! Are we in trouble?

Snow Maiden : Trouble? And what happened?

Fairy: The magic key to the gift box has disappeared. Maybe someone took it by accident? Or maybe someone hid it on purpose? But this means the holiday will not come, there will be no gifts. Grandfather Frost will be upset.

Snow Maiden: Don't worry, friends! I have a spare key! You just have to work hard to achieve it! Aren't you afraid of obstacles?

Fairy: We are only happy with obstacles! Let's hit the road guys, get the key and get back!

Snow Maiden: Only the path will be difficult! You will have to count, read, draw, sing, dance and think. Is this what you can do?

Children : Yes!

Snow Maiden: Well then, it's time for us to hit the road! And in order to get to the key as quickly as possible, we will divide the children into 2 teams. Snow Maiden team with white braid. The Fairy with the Braid team is blue!

Winter outside the window, snowdrifts, snowstorms. And so as not to freeze, we’ll quickly put on: pants, mittens, a hat, a fur coat. Don't waste even a minute! (Children imitate putting things on.)

Fairy: Snow Maiden, of course we are ready to go, but where should we go? There are snowdrifts everywhere!

Snow Maiden : Oh yes! Here's a map for you and us! Let's follow each other and meet there!

(Children get up like a train and follow the Snow Maiden and the Fairy in different directions, go around the Christmas tree and head to different quest stations!)

Station 1: “Mathematical snowfall.”

Assignment: assemble a snowflake from two parts and solve an example involving addition or subtraction. We put the answer from the magnetic numbers on the snowflake. (the number of examples must correspond to the number of children in teams)

Station 2: “Snow Maze” . Each team is given a sheet with a labyrinth, the team's task is to find the right path.

Station 3: “Dancing with the Blizzard.” The guys need to repeat the movements, dance physical exercise.

Station 4: “Tricks of the Blizzard.” The guys must look at the “4 extra” cards, formulate and prove their choice. Cards by number of children or per team. Can be replaced with the task “Combining by any criterion” or “Partition into groups”

Station 5: “Winter Fun”. The task for the teams is to assemble a puzzle on one side of which there is a picture of “Snow Maiden” and “Snowman”, on the other side a message to be read: Don’t have a hundred rubles, but have a hundred friends! Or make up a story based on the pictures.

Station 6: “Crystal Through the Looking Glass”: The task is to find the differences in the picture, each team has its own picture.

Station 7: “Magic Spruce”: The task for the children is to solve New Year's riddles and sing a New Year's song.

Fairy: All the tests have passed, we have reached the main goal!

Well, Snow Maiden, come on!

Get the magic key!

Snow Maiden: To get me the key

The tree should shine.

Let's shout together: "One, two, three,

Come on, Christmas tree, burn!"

Children repeat the words, the Christmas tree lights up with colorful lights! Performing the song “And a Christmas tree was born in the forest...”

Snow Maiden: It's frosty outside,

Stings cheeks, nose,

Snowflakes are swirling in the wind,

Like light fluff.

Someone is coming to visit us

He carries the magic key!

Open your eyes wider!

Husky comes to visit us!

He is Santa Claus's assistant!

Not afraid of blizzards and frosts.

Brave, brave, like in the movies

The key brought us a letter!

To the sound of cheerful music, a Husky dog appears in the hall in a Santa Claus costume, with a key and a letter attached to its collar. The Snow Maiden takes off the key and gives it to the Fairy. (If the dog knows how to perform some tricks, you can show them: a rollover, commands to sit, lie down, beg, etc.)He opens the letter and reads it aloud.

Hello guys

Girls and boys.

Happy New Year

I wish you all good health.

I'll come to you again on New Year's Eve

We will sing and dance songs.

Let's stand together in a round dance

Let's have a great New Year.

And now I'm very busy.

Everyone collect gifts urgently

You tried really hard
