In her circle they are celebrating the New Year with a crossword puzzle. How to have fun celebrating the New Year with your family? New Year's scenario for adults and children. Games for the New Year: “It was my ball!!!”

When we are still making the final feverish preparations for the New Year, some inhabitants of the Earth not only met it and had a lot of fun, but by this time they even managed to rest and sleep. For there are places in the world where the New Year is celebrated much earlier than here. In our photo gallery we present those places where the New Year is celebrated first on our planet.

1. Traditionally, Kiribati will be the first to celebrate the New Year 2015. More specifically, on the Linear Islands, which are located further east than the other islands of this country. In 1994, one of the presidential candidates promised citizens that if he won the election, he would make Kiribati the first to celebrate the New Year in the whole world. He won and kept his word: he moved the demarcation line of time (the conventional line on the map of time zones). Since then, Kiribati has been divided into three time zones, and in the easternmost one, midnight occurs 14 hours earlier than in London. (Photo: DS355/flickr.com).

2. In the same time zone as Kiribati is Tokelau, which includes a group of islands consisting of three coral atolls: Atafu, Nukunono and Fakaofo. It is a dependent territory of New Zealand. The time zone change here occurred as recently as 2011, and the main reason for this was the problem of interaction in contacts with New Zealand, since previously the island was on the other side of the time demarcation line. (Photo: Haanee Naeem/flickr.com).

3. Residents of Samoa will celebrate the New Year an hour later. In 2011, there was also a time zone change; the date December 30, 2011 was not in the Samoan calendar. This was done for better interaction and development of cooperation with Australia and New Zealand. Interestingly, the previous time zone change was carried out in 1892 in order to adjust the time to California. (Photo: Savai’i Island/flickr.com).

4. At the same time as Samoa, residents of Tonga, an island located one-third of the way between New Zealand and Hawaii, south of Samoa, will celebrate the New Year. (Photo: pintxomoruno/flickr.com).

5. Chatham Islanders will be next to ring in the New Year. This small archipelago consists of two inhabited islands - Chatham and Pitta. Other small islands have reserve status and are largely inaccessible to both island residents and tourists. Interestingly, Chatham Island has its own time zone, which differs by 45 minutes (less) from the time in New Zealand. (Photo: Phil Pledger/flickr.com).

6. After the Chatham Islanders, New Zealand will be the next to celebrate New Year 2015. (Photo: Philipp Klinger Photography/flickr.com).

7. At the same time as in New Zealand, they will celebrate the New Year in Fiji. This is a state that is located on 322 islands and islets of volcanic origin, surrounded by coral reefs, of which only 110 islands are inhabited. (Photo: brad/flickr.com).

8. The first mainland state whose residents will celebrate the New Year 2015 (at the same time as the residents of New Zealand and Fiji) is Russia, or more precisely, the city of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, located in the southeastern part of the volcanic Kamchatka peninsula. (Photo: Jasja/flickr.com).

9. In the same time zone as Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, there are numerous small islands and archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean: Tuvalu, Nauru, Wallis and Futuna, Wake and the Marshall Islands. In the photo: Nauru island. (Photo: Hadi Zaher/flickr.com).

10. We travel further and move west. Next to celebrate the New Year will be the residents of New Caledonia, a French overseas territory located in the Western Pacific Ocean, in Melanesia, about 1,400 kilometers east of Australia and 1,500 kilometers northwest of New Zealand. (Photo: Tonton des Iles-Bye bye Everyone /flickr.com).

Countries that celebrate the New Year at the same time as New Caledonia are: Vanuatu, Federated States of Micronesia and Solomon Islands.

11. Together with New Caledonia, the New Year 2015 will be celebrated by residents of another Russian city - Magadan. (Photo: Tramp/flickr.com).

12. On our journey, we finally arrived in Australia, where the first to celebrate the New Year, of course, were the residents of the east coast - Sydney and Melbourne. (Photo: El Mundo, Economía y Negocios/flickr.com).

13. Simultaneously with the residents of Sydney and Melbourne, the New Year will be celebrated in Vladivostok and on such Pacific islands as Guam, the Mariana Islands and Papua New Guinea. In the photo: the island of Guam. (Photo: orgazmo/flickr.com).

New Year in France is celebrated on the night of December 31 to January 1. The French welcome him among close friends and relatives. They organize home gatherings, go to parties in clubs or restaurants, have fun, sing and dance on the streets of cities in fancy dress.

The heart of New Year's events is the capital of France - Paris. During the winter holidays, a special atmosphere of magic reigns here. The city streets are illuminated with magnificent illumination. Boutique windows are decorated with unusual trees and Christmas designs. The windows of the Lafayette and Printemps shopping galleries attract the attention of citizens and tourists with live doll miniatures. The main Christmas tree of France is located in Paris on the square in front of Notre Dame Cathedral. It amazes with its size and beauty.

Traditions and rituals

An interesting and vibrant tradition is cheerful festivities on the city streets on the evening of December 31st. The French wear cone-shaped caps and fancy dress. They jokingly call each other Sylvester Claus and shower each other with candies, tinsel and streamers.

A favorite New Year's entertainment among friends is a holiday lottery, in which you can win an unexpected gift: a pig's head, a chicken or turkey carcass.

Among French housewives there is a tradition of placing a bean seed in a closed pie. A guest who comes across a piece with a bean is jokingly called the “Bean King” throughout New Year’s Eve.

Winemakers have their own tradition. The owner goes down to the wine cellar, clinks glasses with a barrel, congratulates it on the New Year, and wishes himself a rich harvest in the coming year.

The French give each other cards, souvenirs, toys, books, and money on January 1st. Cards are sent to loved ones who were not there on New Year's Eve.

History of the holiday

New Year's Eve in France is called Saint Sylvester's Day. The name comes from the name of the Pope, who died on December 31, 335. According to legend, Saint Sylvester defeated the terrible serpent Leviathan, who was about to destroy the world. Therefore, on New Year's Eve, the French make noise and have fun in the streets and squares in fancy outfits, which, according to legend, should scare away evil spirits.

New Year decorations

In France, the New Year and Christmas holidays last a whole month - from December 6 to January 6. Streets and houses begin to take on a solemn appearance from the end of autumn.

The streets light up with festive illuminations. The windows of restaurants and cafes are painted with snowflakes, paintings with a New Year's theme and funny inscriptions. Houses are decorated with flowers. The French place them in bouquets, bunches and one in each room and place them on the dining table.

In city squares, in the halls of restaurants and cafes, and in apartments, the main attribute of the winter holidays is installed - a spruce tree, decorated with garlands and balls. Another important New Year's symbol in France is mistletoe. The decoration made from it has the shape of a ring or sphere with a wire frame entwined with greenery. Mistletoe is considered a symbol of good luck for the coming year.

Festive table

The French New Year's table amazes with its luxury and abundance. Different geographical areas of the country have their own characteristics in the holiday menu. The main attribute of the New Year's table in the north-eastern part of France is baked goose, in Burgundy - baked turkey with chestnuts. In Brittany and Provence, housewives serve buckwheat flatbread with sour cream. Parisians prefer seafood (oysters, lobsters) and goose liver dishes.

The French festive table surprises with the number of sweets, which reaches up to 13 items. The most popular dessert is a log-shaped cake.

Among the alcoholic drinks on the New Year's table, there is always sparkling wine (champagne), whose homeland is the French province of Champagne.

At different periods of life, people celebrate the New Year under different circumstances. One way or another, most often celebrations take place at home. This raises a logical question: how to celebrate this holiday so that it remains in your memory for a long time. Of course, you can spend it in a banal way, but sometimes you want variety and a cheerful mood. Let's talk in this article about how to do this in practice. Conditions will vary depending on the composition of the family.

Equally important is preparation for the event. On the contrary, this is the most important thing you should do to make your holiday interesting, exciting and memorable. In the second half of December, you can already begin to prepare your home atmosphere for the main holiday of the year. You need to start with the interior of the room. First of all, buy garlands, streamers and other New Year's decorations. They can be hung harmoniously throughout the house, which will create comfort and you will already be looking forward to the New Year holidays. Many people hang garlands on the window and turn them on at night. If you have your own home with a private area, we advise you to buy special garlands that hang on the eaves and hang down like rain. This way you will decorate the whole house.

As for Christmas trees, some people have them growing in their yard. This is a great reason to dress up a real Christmas tree and turn it on in the evening. Children will be happy to run around it and play. However, we should not forget about home. Today, a large number of artificial Christmas trees are sold. Once you buy it, you can take it apart and reinstall it every year. Thanks to the huge assortment, you can choose white, green and even blue Christmas trees. Sizes also vary. From 50 centimeters to three meters and above. Dressing her up with beautiful jewelry will create a cozy and festive atmosphere no less than real. The only negative is the lack of odor, which not only smells pleasant and has a positive effect on the human nervous and respiratory system.

Entertainment program

Another important preparation point is to create an entertainment program. Of course, it is not relevant in all situations, but if you are celebrating the New Year with children, why not have fun and bring even more fun to your loved ones. We are sure that you will also receive only positive emotions and diversify your life. This is much better than sitting at the table all the time, eating and drinking alcoholic beverages. Still, New Year is a family holiday that needs to be celebrated accordingly. So, what entertainment program will be relevant?

Themed holiday

Today it is not uncommon to celebrate the New Year by creating a party in a certain style. For example, you can have a pajama party, dress up like a pirate, or organize a Venetian carnival. This is really interesting if you are a multifaceted person and always experimenting. If you like such a holiday, then you need to prepare for it in advance. In particular, knowing exactly who will be present to sew special costumes. Most likely, such a holiday will not be suitable if there are elderly people in the family, since they will not want to participate in such a masquerade for their own reasons.

Games

Entertainment in the form of games is perhaps the most popular way to celebrate a holiday with children in an interesting way. You can come up with a huge number of hobbies, from banal hide and seek (if you have very young children) to serious board games. After all, when will you be able to gather the whole family around you and enjoy the game? Let's look at some types of entertainment with children.

Prepare artificial snow in advance. When the holiday night arrives, you can arrange a small competition to see who can make a better snowman or other New Year's character. And if you’re not afraid of cleaning, then you can have a snowball fight. It will be fun, there will be snow scattered all around, which will only give the house a New Year's atmosphere. Be sure to record the games on camera so that you have something to remember later. Cleaning is not the worst thing, because positive emotions will stay with you for life.

Stretch more ropes, securing them above the ceiling or behind furniture. After this, distribute the scissors to the competition participants. The winner is the one who collects the most artificial snowflakes hanging on ropes. It will also be spectacular, because a crowd of children will rush to complete the task and will “fight” to the last.

Another interesting entertainment for children. Prepare Christmas tree appliqués and colorful markers in advance. During the holiday, distribute them to children and organize a small competition. The task is to decorate the appliqués as beautifully as possible by drawing balls and other decorations. Whoever wins gets a prize. This task can also be done temporarily if you have a large entertainment program. In the case where there are not many competitions, you can give a task and continue the conversation at the table. This way, everyone will be busy with interesting things to do.

Why not add a little intrigue to the festive atmosphere. Prepare a large New Year's bag before the holiday and put task cards in it. All family members can take part in this event. Write down the tasks on cards. As a result, you need to put your hand into the bag and accidentally pull out a card. The element of surprise will bring you a lot of pleasure, and uncomfortable tasks will cause shame and vivid emotions. However, it is even useful for development.

Guess the gift. Prepare gift boxes in advance and pack them. The more gifts, the more interesting and longer the competition will last. You can use things that don't have to be expensive. So, when the holiday night arrives, it's time to make a draw. Players must ask leading questions to the host and guess what is in the box. Whoever guesses first gets a gift. Agree, this will cause a greater resonance among both children and adults. Be sure to record the competition on camera so that later you can watch the interesting time spent.

Desires. An equally interesting competition that will be useful for children and adults. You've probably heard that on New Year's Day it's customary to make wishes or set goals. Why not do it by communicating and motivating yourself to achieve. Give each family member a piece of paper with markers. Let everyone draw their goal or dream for the next year. Then show it to others and promise that you will make it a reality. Thus, the importance of this task will increase sharply, since the responsibility will be on you. This is a really interesting idea.

Fireworks. What would a New Year's holiday be without fireworks? Buy as many as you can and after the New Year, be sure to go outside to set them on fire. You need to choose only high-quality products so as not to harm your health.

Holiday Events

You can celebrate the New Year with your family not only at home, but also outside it. In particular, you can go for a walk. This option is especially relevant in situations where you live in large cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg. It is no secret that mass celebrations are held in the squares, where interesting entertainment programs are organized. Why not please your children and yourself. As a rule, the squares also have large Christmas trees, slides and other snow products. Children really enjoy riding and get a lot of emotions from it. Remember yourself when, as a child, you also tried to find a bigger slide and ride down it.

In Moscow you will not have any problems finding such places. Here, as a rule, you can look at fireworks that explode in close proximity, which will give you even more positive emotions. Unfortunately, the smaller the city, the shorter their duration, as well as their quality, but this is not a reason to sit at home and be bored. Most likely, famous artists will perform in the squares with popular songs. The main thing is to stick together, especially if you have a large family. Children love to be distracted and need to be supervised.

If it's cold outside and you don't want to freeze, there will probably be interesting activities in other places. In particular, many restaurants organize festive dinners, where interesting personalities also perform. These can be not only singers, but also comedians. They perfectly lift the mood, and a live performance is much more interesting than on TV.

Drive

What to do in cases when home is not interesting and you want more variety, but you live in a small town or village. It's time to think about a trip for the whole family to another city or even another country. Of course, this will require more money, but if you are a reasonable person, then most likely during the year you were able to save some amount for the holiday. It's time to go on an interesting trip with the whole family. So, the first thing you should think about is visiting large Russian cities, where life is in full swing and numerous festive events with an entertainment program are organized. The main thing is that there is room for children. Perhaps the kids will find new acquaintances here.

If you are interested in visiting another country, we advise you to consider the option of a family vacation at a ski resort. You can find wonderful holiday destinations in Finland, Italy, Germany and other European countries. Even in Africa there are wonderful resorts. This way you will teach your children to ski and snowboard. Thanks to specially trained instructors, you and your children will take their first steps. Who knows, maybe you will like this type of entertainment and you will return to the mountains more often. But perhaps this is not the most important thing. As a rule, ski resorts rent separate houses where you can feel the authentic New Year's atmosphere while sitting by the fireplace. Just imagine, a wooden house, a large fireplace, beautifully decorated rooms and a complete family assembled.

You will definitely remember such a holiday for a long time. And as soon as you go outside at night, a whole cover of stars appears in front of you. Living in the city, you most likely have never seen so many of them and how bright they are. And if you find yourself in Finland, you can also look at the northern lights, which fascinate with their beauty.

As for other countries, you can also celebrate the New Year on the seashore. This option is most suitable for those couples who live in a harsh climate and winter is not uncommon for them. In such cases, it's time to buy tours for the whole family to Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, the Maldives or other warm destinations. Although the traditional New Year is celebrated here at a different time, many tourists come here and Thais are also forced to celebrate in the European style. Egypt and Türkiye are very popular during the Christmas holidays. A large number of tourists from Europe and the post-Soviet space come to these regions.

The main feature of tropical countries is that it is in December and January that warm weather without rain sets in. This is usually high season in Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. As for Dubai, the weather here is moderate. The average air temperature is +25 degrees, and the sea warms up to +20. For indigenous residents it is rather cold, but for residents from post-Soviet countries it is quite a normal temperature for swimming and sunbathing. For comparison, in summer the temperature in the UAE can reach +50 degrees. Therefore, winter is also a great time of year for long excursions around the country. But there are many interesting and even unique places to see.

It's no secret that Dubai is all the best, big and beautiful. A large indoor ski complex has also been built here, where you can visit in winter and summer. As for the cost of your vacation, it will depend on many factors: what hotel you will stay at, what restaurant you will have dinner at and where you will celebrate the New Year. But regardless of the program chosen, everyone will see one of the best fireworks displays in the world. The performance involves skyscrapers and other city buildings.

How to celebrate the New Year at home with your family in an interesting and fun way

New Year has long been considered a family holiday. It was not customary to celebrate this holiday separately. On the contrary, the whole family tried to gather at one table on New Year's Eve.

Nowadays, many people are bored and not interested in celebrating this holiday at home; they celebrate either in restaurants or at some resorts, or at a party. But those who still value traditions and celebrate the New Year at home know that this holiday brings loved ones closer together.

Since 2019 is considered the year of the Yellow Earthen Pig (Boar) according to the eastern calendar. And the pig loves his family and friends very much, often sacrificing his interests for their sake. Then all the more necessary is for all relatives to reunite and have fun, to the boar’s delight.


In order for the celebration of this holiday to be equally fun for all generations, you should prepare for this holiday in advance. After all, celebrating the New Year is not limited to just a magnificent feast, but also includes various games, dances, as well as congratulations with gifts.
