Party games for all ages
A New Year's Eve party can be one of the biggest social events of the year. If you want to plan the perfect games for your night, keep in mind that your guests will want to have a great time, count down the new year and mingle with new people in a comfortable environment.
Instructions
Plan a Young People's New Year's Eve Party
1. Give children the option to stay up to see the "Ball Drop" on television. Instruct the children to bring sleeping bags and pillows so that they can go to sleep after the New Year arrives.
2. Play the resolution game. Ask each child to set a goal for the year (learn to ride a bike, earn an A in math, etc.) and to draw a picture of his goal.
3. See which child can make the most words out of the letters in the phrase "Happy New Year." The winner gets a prize!
Plan an Adult New Year's Eve Party
4. Arrange a belly dancing competition for the male guests, to be judged by the female guests. Provide accessories each man can use to enhance his performance, including castanets, silk sarongs, veils and Arabian music.
5. Challenge your guests' creativity with the "Park Bench" game. Place two chairs in the center of the room and have one guest sit in each. The object is to get the other person to move off the park bench without touching him. This can be accomplished through an action, a statement or other creative methods, but the time limit is 1 minute.
6. Play an old standard game with a drinking twist. For example, "Twister" is a popular game that can be combined with a drinking challenge. Each time you fall, for instance, you have to take a drink, or each time "red" is called, everyone has to drink. Hasbro has a ton of new versions of old-school classic board games that can be used (see Resources below).
