Interesting and informative ChristmasI am a Christmas tree for children from 7 years old. There are no round dances on the Science Tree, but there are many experiments with light, electricity, chemicals, scientific workshops, tours of laboratories with experiments.

Planning New Year's holidays in the city is quite simple. Today you walk around the elegant center, tomorrow you go on a roller coaster, then you can escape from the city for a day, and when you return, go to a colorful show. Just don’t forget the main thing - spend time with loved ones, seal at home on the couch, eat Russian salad and tangerines for the year ahead - in general, it’s not for us to teach you.

New Year is one of the most anticipated holidays. The New Year mood comes into its own already a month before December 31 and every day increases the anticipation of the happiest night of the year. In order for the holiday to be bright and leave pleasant memories behind, you need to know in advance how you will spend New Year's Eve.

2017 year of the Fire Rooster promises to be bright and eventful. In order for luck to accompany you everywhere in it, you need to meet the year cheerfully, brightly and warmly, because folk omen reads: "As you meet the New Year, so you will spend it." But if we know in advance how to set the table for the New Year 2017, what to give to relatives and friends, then not everyone knows exactly how to spend New Year's Eve.

New Year's Eve with family: true fortune-telling

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

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

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

Fortune telling must be prepared ahead of time: calculate the number of paper strips so that there are two predictions for each person present. On each paper strip write new year wishes and prophecy. All of them should be positive, because the New Year is a holiday of kindness.

Prediction examples:

  • “Financial success awaits you in the New Year”;
  • "Expect replenishment in the family";
  • "You will go on a beautiful journey";
  • “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 pull out a piece of paper for themselves. The results are more fun to read aloud and discuss among themselves: such a pastime will entertain all those present and give faith in the New Year's miracle.

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

New Year's Eve with friends is also an extremely common tradition. We surround ourselves with people with whom we have good memories and common interests. Have fun in friendly company You can use fun team or quiet games.

Fanta."The Game of All Time" Each person present must give one of his things to the host chosen by the general vote. All things are folded into a bag, hat or any opaque container. The host, without looking, pulls out one thing and either assigns a task to its owner himself, or instructs everyone to come up with a task together. The owner of the fanta must complete the task.

Crocodile. Another extremely interesting game for the imagination and understanding of each other. With the help of lots or voting, a leader 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 the "Fool" to poker. The main thing is to explain the rules before starting the game again and do not bet money, decorations and New Year's gifts.

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

For those wishing to actively spend the New Year holidays, it is recommended to draw up a program of events in advance and purchase tickets, because. at the very last moment it may not be possible to purchase an entrance ticket - there are many who want to.

Many of us promise ourselves in the new year to start life with a clean slate. So why not keep that promise? It doesn't matter what your diary will be - paper or electronic. One thing is important: do not abandon the diary and regularly replenish it with entries.

And if you already have a personal diary, then try something: a photo diary, a voice diary or.

2. Read a few books

We all say that we want to and will read more, but our permanent excuse “I don’t have enough time to read” nullifies everything. On New Year's holidays, we finally have time, and long winter evenings are just made for climbing into a chair with a blanket and tea and immersing ourselves in reading.

You probably have your own must read list, but if not, check it out.

3. Gather a fun company and play snowballs

Of course, if you have children, then you can’t avoid this fun anyway. And if not, then this is not a reason to abandon your favorite New Year's activity since childhood. Gather a group of friends and go to play snowballs.

It is not even necessary to plan this entertainment in advance, just throw a snowball at one of your friends, and then a chain reaction will follow, and in 5 minutes you and all your friends will participate in snow fights.

And if a ferocious rages outside the window winter weather, because of which you do not want to go out, then arrange for yourself a snow fun at home - cook with your family.

4. Take the journey you've always dreamed of

Almost every person has a dream country, where he has long wanted to visit. Be your own Santa Claus and fulfill your dream - give yourself a trip.

The advice is relevant not only for those who have been saving money for a vacation all year, because today it is very simple for someone, and this, in turn, will help to significantly reduce travel costs.

5. Help those in need

One of the best ways to give yourself a holiday is to throw a holiday for someone else.

Yes, few of us are able to donate large sums. But collecting books and things that you no longer use, buying a bag of candy and going to the nearest orphanage - this is something that almost every one of us can do. And if you are a volunteer or an active student who has a company of like-minded people, then you can arrange a New Year's concert or performance for the kids.

6. Spend the New Year holidays at the camp site

Everyone understands what to do at the camp site in the summer: swim, sunbathe, walk, pick mushrooms and berries - in a word, have an active rest. But not everyone knows that in winter you can spend time at the camp site in the same active and interesting way: skiing, sledding, skating, taking a steam bath and walking no less, if not more, than in summer.

7. Run New Year's Eve Every Morning

May the holiday spirit be with you always. While jogging, creating a New Year's mood for yourself is very simple: run in a New Year's cap or in a cool scarf with deer, upload your favorite New Year's tracks to the player, or choose a route that will allow you to run to at least a few Christmas trees that are in abundance on New Year's holidays in any city.

8. Be a tourist in your hometown

There are probably hundreds of places you haven't visited in your hometown: museums, galleries, and maybe even theaters and cinemas. Make a list of such places and catch up on New Year's Eve.

9. Treat yourself and loved ones with New Year's treats


Yes, after the New Year's feast, it seems to all of us that we will not be able to eat anything for at least another week - we feel so full. But, as practice shows, already on January 3-4 we again want something tasty. You should not deny yourself this pleasure, so experiment and cook, for example,.

10. Throw a New Year's Eve Party

The first weekend of the new year (January 3–4) is a great time to party. And we have prepared for you that will help make your party the coolest and most memorable. :)

11. Take pictures

12. Do a spring cleaning and get rid of unnecessary things

The new year is a new life, and you should not drag the old rubbish into the new life, which many of us like to accumulate, even without wanting to. Arrange a general cleaning at home, throw it away and don’t try to regret it: you make room for new things that you will definitely buy in the coming year.

13. Devote this time to your favorite hobby.

Someone likes to cook, someone likes to embroider, someone likes to code, and someone disappears in the garage for days on end, improving their favorite car. The New Year holidays are a wonderful time that you can spend exclusively on your favorite activities, so do not deny yourself this.

14. Delight yourself and friends with delicious cocktails

Since you can relax a little during the New Year holidays, this is a great occasion to please yourself and your friends with good, say, rum with apple juice and caramel or Martini Royale.

15. Be Santa Claus in your house

Put wish cards or small nice New Year's souvenirs for neighbors in boxes - magnets, key chains, and so on. If you wish, you can even put a Christmas tree in the entrance or in any other way give it a festive look. It will be fun and give positive emotions to both you and all your neighbors.

16. Make yourself a to-do list for the year and start doing it.

We all love to make lists, but very often these lists remain only in our head and on paper. Make a to-do list for the year so that you can start one of the cases today or tomorrow. So you will not only provide yourself with a boring vacation, but also learn to be more organized.

17. Go on a picnic

18. Visit relatives

If for some reason you did not manage to celebrate the New Year with your family, then do not despair: you have the whole New Year holidays to visit your loved ones.

19. Visit New Year's Fairs

Such fairs are held in many cities, and this is a wonderful event that gives everyone a New Year's mood, vivid emotions and completely new impressions. Find information about fairs in your city and don't forget to visit at least one of them.

20. Take a look into the past with your social accounts

VKontakte, Facebook, Twitter… Every day we write posts, tweets, statuses in which we share our thoughts, talk about our favorite films and books, mention important and interesting events for us.

Set aside a couple of evenings to re-read your entries two, three, or even four years ago. This will allow you to remember your successes, pleasant events in your life. Or maybe you just smile when you realize how much your interests have changed over the years.

The easiest way to do this is with Twitter, which has a "Request Tweet Archive" feature.

21. Spend a day at the water park

Another one of my favorite summer activities, which should not be forgotten in winter.

If you are an avid movie fan, then, of course, you will not be able to deny yourself this pleasure. For those who do not want to sit at home, the best option is to visit cinemas that will delight you with New Year's novelties. And for everyone else, the New Year holidays are a great time to revisit your favorites from childhood.

23. Find a country to winter in

If you are tired of the winter cold and you are not happy with anything, find yourself a country in which you will spend the winter. And we will help you to spend the remaining two winter months in warmth and comfort and suggest five countries where you can wait out the winter.

24. Make coffee with recipes from around the world


And if you roll into warm country until it works out, it doesn’t matter - learn how to do it, and you will become much warmer even without traveling.

25. Make time for yourself

Go to the pool gym, beauty salon, please yourself with new clothes. In the whirlwind of everyday affairs and worries, we so often do not have enough time for ourselves, so try to fix this during the New Year holidays.

26. Do not forget about our smaller brothers

30. Make boring activities interesting

Alas, even on New Year's holidays, no one canceled the queues and traffic jams. But even in traffic jams and queues, you can spend time interestingly and profitably. We will tell you how to do this.

31. Host an evening of remembrance

It doesn't matter with whom - with family, friends or a loved one. Just arrange tea gatherings and share with each other warm memories that are important to you. Such gatherings are very close and teach to appreciate everything, even insignificant moments.

32. Play board games or put together a huge puzzle

These two activities will help you return to your childhood for a while, and the emotions you have received will help you stay cheerful throughout the day. To help you - a list.

33. Make new friends

Go to the nearest anti-cafe. The atmosphere reigning there is always conducive to new acquaintances, and in half an hour or an hour you will be singing with a guitar or playing board games with new friends.

34. Make a photo collage

Surely the past year was rich in events that you want to remember. Make a photo collage that will remind you of the highlights of the year and hang it in your room. If possible, do the same for your friends.

35. Go to a karaoke club

Favorite entertainment, which is always relevant and which should be remembered on New Year's holidays.

36. Walk around the city with the player

Are you sure that during the New Year holidays you keep the daily norm of 10 thousand steps? Not? Then go for a walk faster and take a player with your loved ones to make walking more fun.

37. Meet the sunrise at least once during the New Year holidays

On winter weekdays, we usually meet dawn on the way to work, thinking that we have to get up at dawn. During the New Year holidays, we can meet the dawn, rejoicing in it. You don't even need to go outside to do this - you can watch this miracle of nature from the balcony.

38. Work or study

An occupation for incorrigible workaholics: if you are a freelancer, you can continue to complete work tasks even on holidays, and if you are a student, you can start preparing for exams that await you in mid-January.

39. Spend New Year's holidays in the countryside

A similar option as with a camp site, but more budgetary. If you have relatives in the village, then you will not only rest, but also do useful work - you will help them with the housework.

40. Don't forget traditional winter activities - ice skating and skiing

Mass skating or skiing with friends - what could be better on a winter day off?

41. Go shopping

You don't have to go to shopping centers, in which you already visit almost every weekend. If you have the opportunity to go to a neighboring city, then go shopping and do your shopping there.

42. Play the game "What are we going to do today"

If you are in the company of friends and can not choose what to do, then play the game "What are we going to do today." The meaning is this: each of those present writes one lesson on a piece of paper, for example, “let's go to the cinema,” “let's have dinner at a restaurant,” “let's go to make a snowman,” and so on. The leaves must be put in a hat, and then one of those present should pull out one of the leaves without looking - what is written on it will be the plan for the day.

43. Don't forget about free New Year's events in your city

Concerts, discos, exhibitions... There is probably something similar in your city and, which is nice, it's completely free.

49. Do something unexpected for yourself.

Are you sure that you absolutely do not know how to draw or cook deliciously? Or maybe you just didn't try hard enough? Go through your "I can't" and try again. Remember that patience and work will grind everything, and you will have another reason to be proud of yourself.

50. A trip at random - an activity for the bored

If you have already done everything you wanted, and sitting at home is boring, then take the first minibus that comes across, but before that, think of some number. Let's say I think of the number 8, which means that I will get off at the eighth stop and go to explore the surrounding area. Don't forget to stock up on your camera and don't wander too far - all adventures are good in moderation. :)

What will you be doing on New Year's Eve?
