New Year is one of the most anticipated holidays. The New Year's mood comes into its own a month before December 31 and every day increases the anticipation of the happiest night of the year. So that the holiday passes brightly and leaves behind Nice memories, you need to know in advance how you will spend New Year's Eve.

2017, the year of the Fire Rooster, promises to be bright and eventful. In order for good luck to accompany you everywhere, you need to celebrate the year cheerfully, brightly and warmly, because folk sign reads: “How you celebrate the New Year is how you will spend it.” But if we know in advance how to set the table for the New Year 2017, what to give to family and what to give to friends, then not everyone knows exactly how to spend New Year’s Eve.

Celebrating the New Year with family: truthful fortune telling

First of all, New Year - family celebration. Most often, New Year's Eve is spent with family and close relatives: this symbolizes family unity and the strength of family ties.

After the traditional part of the evening, you need to come up with something equally interesting for everyone present. New Year's fortune telling can be great entertainment. For them you will need:

• pre-cut strips of paper;
• pen;
• a bag made of thick fabric.

Fortune telling must be prepared ahead of time: calculate the number of paper strips so that there are two predictions for each person present. Write on each strip of paper new year wishes and prophecies. They should all be positive, because the New Year is a holiday of goodness.

Examples of predictions:

• “Financial success awaits you in the New Year”;
• “Expect a new addition to the family”;
• "You will go to beautiful trip»;
• “Your problem will be solved soon”;
• “Great love awaits you”;
• “The Fire Rooster will drive away all diseases.”

Put all the predictions in a bag and let everyone present take out a piece of paper. It’s more fun to read the results out loud and discuss among each other: such a pastime will entertain everyone present and give faith in the New Year’s miracle.

Celebrating the New Year of the Rooster with friends: games for any company

New Year's Eve in the company of friends is also an extremely common tradition. We surround ourselves with people with whom we share good memories and common interests. You can have fun in a friendly company with the help of fun team games or calm games.

Fanta."A game for all times." Each person present must give one item of their own to the leader chosen by a general vote. All things are put into a bag, hat or any opaque container. The presenter, without looking, pulls out one thing and either himself assigns a task for its owner, or instructs everyone to come up with a task together. The owner of the Fanta must complete the task.

Crocodile. Another extremely interesting game on imagination and understanding of each other. Using lots or voting, a presenter is selected, who must be the first to show with gestures any phenomenon, term or character: for example, Brownie. The one who guessed the word first receives the next task from the presenter and replaces him “on stage”. Tricks and difficult tasks will only add to the general fun and make New Year's Eve unforgettable.

Cards. The good old card game will not leave anyone indifferent. The choice is huge: from “Fool” to poker. The main thing is to explain the rules again before starting the game and not to bet money, decorations and New Year's gifts.

There are a great many scenarios for a great New Year's Eve, but the most important thing is that everyone feels needed and loved, because the New Year is a time of belief in miracles, warmth and only positive emotions. We wish you a happy and joyful New Year. Be happy and don't forget to press the buttons and
