Winter holidays are always noisy, fun and a little exciting. The atmosphere itself is already able to charge with a magical mood - snow falls quietly outside the window, garlands shimmer in the windows, it smells of needles and tangerines, and the closest people gather at the table.
Such a cozy home environment and delicious food contribute to rest and a pleasant pastime, but sometimes they act sleepily and the smallest family members can not wait for the arrival of Santa Claus. It's a shame, isn't it? But to help can come fun contests for the whole family, which will give even more positive and good mood!

Mobile competitions for children
Intellectual tests are very interesting and informative, but it is time to hold several mobile contests so that not only adults, but also children are a little cheered up and ready to test their agility and courage.
Sleeping Santa Claus
For this contest, you need to choose who will be Santa Claus. After that, you need to put the “grandfather” on a chair in the middle of the room and blindfold him. At a short distance from him put the gift in a large rustling box. Each participant should very quietly walk past and take a gift. If a gift is received, it belongs to the participant. But if Santa catches a prankster, he fulfills one of his desires.
Running with snowballs
It can be a real team competition if you have at least three players. Each participant is given a spoon containing a paper snowball. Objective: Each participant should run around the tree with his snowball and not drop it, and then come back. The winner is the team in which the participants managed to do everything first.
Jackets and tangerines
Cleaning Mandarin – What could be easier? But if you do it in mittens, you have to sweat a lot to cope. Each participant is given thick mittens and tangerine, the one who copes first is the winner.
Collect snowflakes.
It can also be a great team game. To participate, you need as many white wipes and two baskets. Each team must collect as many snowflakes as possible. In the end, you need to count the napkins in each basket, whose team collected the most – won.
Competitions for ingenuity and resourcefulness
After active competitions, you can sit down and relax. But you will not be bored, because there are fun contests, where everyone will be able to show their creative abilities.
Unusual horoscope
Each participant is given a pen and a sheet of paper. On cue, everyone should write any 5 words that come to mind. The one who finished first takes a piece of paper from the neighbor on the right and makes a horoscope for the next year for the neighbor on the left based on the words he read.
Funny promises.
For this competition, you need to make funny promises in advance on scraps of paper (the more, the more fun) and prepare a basket or an ordinary hat for them. The presenter approaches each player and offers to get at random a note with a promise. After that, you need to read the text loudly and promise to fulfill the promise next year.
The text of the promise may read as follows:
“I promise next year...
listen to your mother and eat porridge in the morning
Say hello to every dog in the yard.
get up in the morning only from the left foot
Eat a sausage sandwich on the tongue
brushing your teeth with a smile
Welcome to everyone who calls with the phrase: “What a joy to hear you!”
