Games To Keep All Entertained At Your New Year Party
Here are a few fabulous New Year Party game ideas to turn your Christmas party into a memorable affair.
Guess Whose Resolution
Give a piece of white paper to each of your guest and ask them to write 5 New Year resolutions. Collect all the paper slips and place them in a small basket. Now call the guests one by one and make them take out a piece of paper and read aloud the resolutions written on them. Next ask all the other guests to make a guess as to who could have written the resolution. When all the resolutions are read out, calculate who made the maximum number of right guesses and give that person a nice and elegant Christmas present.
Guess Who
You will need old magazines and safety pins or selotape for this game. Before the party, cut out pictures of celebrities known to the group of people that will be at the party. Each guest gets an identity pinned to his back so that everyone but him can see it. By asking yes or no questions of his fellow spies, each child must figure out who he is.
You can also do this using celebrity couples and the party members have to find their match. You could use Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Prince Charles and Camilia etc
Shadows
For this game you will need props, a large roll of paper, posable lamp and a marker
Before the party, gather some props, these could be some hats, a trench coat and a pipe, (anything that would be noticeable in a shadow), a large roll of paper to mount on the wall (found in art supply stores), a posable lamp and a marker.
One at a time, usher guests into a separate room, where they can select items for striking a pose.
Stand each person in profile in front of a section of paper and turn on the light. Trace each person's outline, then write her name on the back. When all suspects have been traced, gather everyone together in one room and see if they can guess which shadow belongs to who.
Bubble Wrap Stomp
This is a very cheap way to entertain kids for the countdown to the New Year.
Pick up several yards of large Bubble Wrap (or recycle Bubble Wrap that comes with holiday gifts). Just before midnight, unroll it on a hard surface, such as a wooden floor or driveway, and when the countdown concludes, begin "the Bubble Wrap Stomp." Be sure to buy large bubbles, because the small ones just don't have the same result.
