New Year's puzzles for children. Riddles about winter, about the New Year, Christmas for preschoolers, schoolchildren, children of the middle and senior groups of kindergarten and toddlers: the best selection of winter and New Year's riddles with answers

What could be more fun than solving puzzles? Now the puzzles are also New Year themed and it will be interesting to solve them with the whole group. In the New Year - New Year's puzzles.
A rebus is a special type of riddle in which the hidden words are encrypted using a sequence of pictures, letters, numbers and other symbols.

In order to solve and compose puzzles, you need to know the rules and techniques that are used in composing them. Read and remember these rules. For greater clarity, some of them are illustrated with examples.

1. The names of all objects depicted in the rebus are read only in the nominative case and singular. Sometimes the desired object in the picture is indicated by an arrow.

2. Very often, an object depicted in a rebus may have not one, but two or more names, for example, “eye” and “eye,” “leg” and “paw,” etc. Or it may have one thing in common and one specific name, for example “tree” and “oak”, “note” and “D”, etc. You need to select the one that is appropriate in meaning.

The ability to identify and correctly name the object shown in the picture is one of the main difficulties when deciphering puzzles. In addition to knowing the rules, you will need ingenuity and logic.

3. Sometimes the name of an object cannot be used in its entirety in rebuses - it is necessary to discard one or two letters at the beginning or end of the word. In these cases, the symbol used is a comma. If the comma is to the left of the picture, then this means that the first letter of its name must be discarded; if it is to the right of the picture, then the last letter. If there are two commas, then two letters are discarded accordingly, etc.
4. If two objects or two letters are drawn one inside the other, then their names are read with the addition of the preposition “in”. There are such puzzles.
5. If any letter consists of another letter, then in rebuses they read with the addition of “from”.
6. If behind a letter or object there is another letter or object, then you need to read the rebus with the addition of “for”.
7. If one figure or letter is drawn under another, then you need to read it with the addition of “on”, “above” or “under” - choose a preposition according to the meaning that matches the rebus.
8. If in a rebus a different letter is written after a letter, then read it with the addition of “by”.
9. If one letter lies next to another, leaning against it, then read with the addition of “u”. This can be done, for example, with the word RebUs.
10. If in a rebus there is an image of an object drawn upside down, then its name must be read from the end.
11. If an object is drawn, and a letter is written next to it and then crossed out, this means that this letter must be eliminated from the resulting word. If there is another letter above the crossed out letter, this means that you need to replace the crossed out letter with it. Sometimes in this case in puzzles an equal sign is placed between the letters
12. If there are numbers above the picture, for example, 4, 2, 3, 1, then this means that first the fourth letter of the name of the object depicted in the rebus picture is read, then the second, followed by the third, etc., then there are letters read in the order indicated by the numbers.
13. If any figure in a rebus is drawn running, sitting, lying, etc., then the corresponding verb in the third person of the present tense must be added to the name of this figure (running, sitting, lying, etc.)
14. Very often in puzzles, individual syllables “do”, “re”, “mi”, “fa” are represented by the corresponding notes

This is how puzzles are solved!

Games and competitions for the New Year

I. For children of primary school age.

1. Ready for the New Year!

The presenter invites the children to raise their chins up, spin around their axis five times, stop, put their hand on the visor and say: “I’m ready for the New Year!”

1. Santa Claus is coming to us.

In this game you are asked to first memorize the text:

“Santa Claus is coming, coming to us,

Santa Claus is coming to us.

And we know that Santa Claus

He brings us gifts."

After the text has been repeated, it is proposed to replace words with movements and gestures. The first word that is replaced is the word "we". Instead, the words point to themselves. With each new performance, there are fewer words and more gestures. Instead of the words “Santa Claus,” everyone points to the door, the word “is coming” is replaced by walking in place, the word “we know” is replaced by touching the forehead with the index finger, the word “gifts” is replaced by a gesture depicting a large bag. At the last performance, all words disappear, except for prepositions and the verb “will bring.”

1. Laughable.

Each player receives a name, for example, a cracker, a lollipop, an icicle, a garland, a needle, a flashlight, a snowdrift...

The driver goes around everyone in a circle and asks various questions:

Who are you?

Firecracker.

What holiday is today?

Lollipop.

What do you have (pointing to your nose)?

Icicle.

What drips from the icicle?

Garland...

Each participant must answer any questions with their “name”, and the “name” can be declined accordingly. Those answering questions should not laugh. Whoever laughs is eliminated from the game and gives away his forfeit.

It's a duck!

The person who guesses correctly is given the mask itself as a prize.

1. Snowball.

Redemption of New Year's prizes from Santa Claus's bag can be arranged as follows.

In a circle, adults and children pass a specially prepared “snowball” made of cotton wool or white fabric.

“Lump” is passed on, and Santa Claus says: “We all roll a snowball. We all count to “five” - One, two, three, four, five - You should sing a song.”

Or:

“Let me dance a dance for you”;

“I’ll tell you a riddle”...

The person who redeems the prize leaves the circle, and the game continues.

1. There are Christmas trees.

We decorated the Christmas tree with different toys, and in the forest there are different types of Christmas trees, wide, short, tall, thin. Now, if I say “high,” raise your hands up. “Low” - squat and lower your arms. “Wide” - make the circle wider. “Thin” - make a circle already. Now let's play!

The presenter plays along with the guys, trying to confuse them.

1. Mice cones.

Guys, where do our cones grow? On the tree. So, when I say “bumps”, raise your hands up. And if it’s “mice”, then we squat and lower our hands to the floor.

The presenter shows the movements. The guys do it with him. The presenter tries to confuse the guys.

1. Telegram to Santa Claus.

The guys are asked to name 13 adjectives: “fat”, “red-haired”, “hot”, “hungry”, “lethargic”, “dirty”, etc.

When all the adjectives are written down, the presenter takes out the text of the telegram and inserts into it the missing adjectives from the list.

Text of the telegram: “...Grandfather Frost! All... the children are looking forward to your... arrival. New Year is the most... holiday of the year. We will sing for you... songs, dance... dances! It's finally coming... New Year! I don’t really want to talk about... studying. We promise that we will only receive... grades. So, quickly open your... bag and give us... gifts. With respect to you... boys and... girls!

1. I'll freeze it.

The guys stretch their arms forward, and when Santa Claus runs up to them, the guys must hide their hands behind their backs. Those who did not have time will be considered frozen.

1. Laughter.

Any number of participants can play. All participants in the game, if it is a free area, form a large circle. In the center is the driver (Santa Claus) with a handkerchief in his hands. He throws the handkerchief up, while it flies to the ground, everyone laughs loudly, the handkerchief is on the ground - everyone calms down. As soon as the handkerchief touches the ground, this is where the laughter begins; we take a forfeit from the funniest ones - this is a song, a poem, etc.

1. Mysterious chest.

Each of the two players has their own chest or suitcase, in which various items of clothing are folded. The players are blindfolded, and at the leader’s command they begin to put on things from the chest. The players' task is to dress up as quickly as possible.

1. Flowers.

The players stand in a circle.

The presenter (Santa Claus) commands: “Touch yellow, one, two, three!” Players try to grab the thing (object, part of the body) of the other participants in the circle as quickly as possible. Those who do not have time are eliminated from the game.

The presenter repeats the command again, but with a new color.

The last one standing wins.

1. Collect snowballs.

Inventory: baskets according to the number of participants, paper snowballs - an odd number.

Preparation: paper snowballs are placed on the site.

A game. Each player is given a basket in his hands and blindfolded. The task is to blindly collect as many “snowballs” as possible and put them in a basket.

Winner: the participant who collects the most snowballs.

1. The Snow Queen.

Equipment: ice cubes.

Participants take an ice cube. The task is to melt the ice, who is faster.

Winner: the participant who completes the task first.

1. Hold the snowflake.

Lumps resembling a snowflake are made from cotton wool. At the leader’s signal, the participants begin to blow from below onto the lump so that it flies like a snowflake. The task is to prevent the “snowflake” from falling.

Winner: the participant who keeps the “snowflake” in the air the longest.

1. Snowflake.

To the music, the children pass a large snowflake around in a circle, and the presenter tries to intercept it from the children.

1. Bunnies.

Host: Our game is called “Bunnies”. I say “noses”, “tails”, “ears”, “tops”. And you listen carefully and show.

The presenter deliberately confuses the children.

1. Sunday.

Guys, do you know how many days there are in a week? Seven is correct. Let's name them.

And now guys, I will name the days of the week, and you clap, when I say “Sunday”, you unanimously shout “day off”.

1. Fairytale items.

There is a fairy-tale chest under the Christmas tree, and Santa Claus hid fairy-tale items in it. Santa Claus takes it out of the chest and shows the children a golden key, a broom, a thermometer, a gem flower, etc. Children try to guess who these objects belong to.

1. Prohibited movement.

The game is played to music. The presenter agrees with the children that they will repeat all his movements after him without delay. However, one movement, for example, “Hands on the belt,” cannot be repeated. The one who repeats this movement leaves the game.

The game begins with a general signal. The presenter makes dance movements to the music, moving in a circle. He makes sure that everyone imitates him, but at the same time he “fines” everyone who makes mistakes. At the end of the game, those who make mistakes must read a poem, sing a song or dance.

1. Fun moment.

To each question, children answer in chorus: “Like this” - and show the desired action with a gesture. The game begins with a brief explanation of the rules of the game.

How are you?

Like this! Show thumbs up.

How are you going?

Like this! Walk two fingers of one hand over the palm of the other.

How are you running?

Like this! Bend your elbows and show how they work when running.

Do you sleep at night?

II. For children of middle school age.

1. Depict.

With the whole team, depict a snowy mountain, a large skating rink, a ski track.

1. Hello!

According to the eastern horoscope, each year has the name of a different animal. For example: year of the Dog or year of the Monkey, year of the Horse. And in our circus now many years will gather at once and many animals will meet each other.

When meeting, all people always say hello. How will the animals greet? Let's figure it out!

So: sector “C” - you came from the year of the Rooster; sector “I” - you are in the Year of the Dog; sector “P” - year of the Boar (Pig); sector “K” is the year of the Horse. Come up with something and say hello to each other.

The “C” sector greets the “I”, “R”, “K” sectors.

1. Triple skating (skateboarding).

Our grandfathers and grandmothers probably had no more exciting pleasure than to ride with the wind on the hard crust on a sleigh drawn by three frisky horses. Let's go for a ride too!

One person gets on a skateboard. Three others, harnessed with skipping ropes, represent horses. First two sectors (2 teams) compete with each other, then two others.

1. Clever artists.

While the music is playing, you need to run to the easel in felt boots and quickly draw:

1 team - a Christmas tree (the more branches, the better);

Team 2 – snowflakes (the more snowflakes, the better).

1. Santa Claus bag.

Teams must fill the bag with balls as quickly as possible.

1. Winter towns.

We put several pins (5-6 pieces) on the cube for each team. Whose team will collect the most pins with the mitten?

1. Snow woman.

What kind of winter would it be without a “snow woman”? None! As soon as the wet, sticky snow falls, these 3-story beauties immediately appear in our yards.

Let's try to move the “snow woman”. Who will do it better? Who is the most dexterous?

The guys stack 3 balloons on top of each other, like a “snow woman”, and carry them running. The fastest and most agile team wins.

1. Warmers.

It is held like a cockfight.

In a circle - two roosters on one leg pushing each other out.

1. The Forest Raised a Christmas Tree.

This song is performed by different animals: dogs (woof-woof-woof), roosters (crow), ducks (quack), cows (moo), etc.

1. Snow fight.

The guys throw paper snowballs.

Each team is given a box of paper snowballs.

We need to throw as many snowballs as possible into the territory of other teams.

1. Decorate the Christmas tree.

In the hall, two small artificial Christmas trees are installed on stands at a distance of 1-1.5 m. Toys made of cardboard, papier-mâché, and cotton wool are located on tables 5-6 steps from the Christmas trees. Two contestants must decorate a Christmas tree in a short time, blindfolded.

1. Snow Maiden.

Option I.

The presenter invites 2 teams of 10 people each and hands them a set of large letters that make up the word “Snow Maiden”. Each participant in the game receives one letter.

In the story that will be read to the participants, there will be several words made up of the letters included in these sets. As soon as such a word is pronounced, the owners of the letters that make it up must step forward and, rearranging themselves, form this word.

The team whose members manage to get ahead of their opponents gets a point. The team that scores the most points wins.

Option II.

From the letters of the word “Snow Maiden”, make all possible words: (snow, black, hay, horns, sulfur, sleep, etc.). Whoever has the most wins.

1. Artists' competition.

Two couples participate. Each pair draws a mouse (or other animal). Only one draws the front, the other the back. However, they do not communicate with each other. Then glue both parts together and see the result.

1. Poetry competition.

The children are invited to compose a poem with rhymes.

Rhyme options: grandfather - years; nose - frost; year - goes; calendar – January; frost - brought; winter - at home; snowball is a treasure.

1. New Year's story.

The guys must write a New Year's story starting with one letter. For example, with the letter “N”: “New Year’s Eve is full of new surprises...”. Whose story is longer and more interesting wins.

Santa Claus chooses 2 participants in the competition. The task is to tear the newspaper as quickly and as small as possible. With one hand, right or left, it doesn’t matter - tear the newspaper into small pieces, while the hand is extended forward, you cannot help with your free hand. Who will do the smallest job?

1. Ride the ball.

Participants line up in teams of 3 people. Each “three” of players receives a tight volleyball. At the signal from the leader, one of the three players, supported by the elbows of two other players, steps on the ball and rolls it. The group that reaches the finish line first wins.

Wizard

This has been the case for a long time:

In the evening, at the end of December,

The wizard will arrive in a carriage

Made of gold and amber.

Will drive through the bright streets

And it will turn to every house,

He will give gifts to the children,

And he will return adults to childhood.

But in the morning the wizard will rush away

For mountains, forests and seas.

This is exactly what will happen

In the evening, at the end of December.

New Year! My path is through the fields,

Forest, snowy steppe;

Cereals, large stars,

The sky pours into the darkness of the night,

Hat, shoulders drooping,

Look stronger and stronger!

Everything seems to grow

In the white shroud of the fields...

In the ever-memorable years

Not like this in winter

Rus' was losing crops

Off your snow-covered shoulders.

It shimmered with greens,

She went to mow in bulk!

Well, coachman, shake the reins,

You know: the day has grown a little!
