Not all of us are able to throw an adults-only bash on New Years Eve, and that’s okay. There’s nothing wrong with celebrating as a family! So today we’re helping parents everywhere with the best New Years Eve party ideas for kids. Go ahead and ring in the New Year together, because it’s going to be a blast!
New Years Eve Party Ideas For Kids
Whether you’re planning to party as a family or invite some friends over, it helps to have some kid-friendly plans to keep the littles busy. Here are some ideas for kid-friendly New Years Eve fun!
Play Some Games
Games can include your favorite kids’ board games, or other fun games that don’t require a game board. Play 2 truths and a lie, using your New Years Eve resolutions. Use a karaoke machine to rock out to all those awesome Disney hits.
Countdown To Midnight {Or Earlier!}
For kids who are too little to make it clear ’til midnight, have a fake countdown at a more suitable hour–the kids won’t know the difference! Older kids can enjoy the actual countdown with you.
Have A Slumber Party
New Years Eve is a great time to let the kids have a slumber party with their friends or cousins who come to celebrate the new year. If you’ve got a spot in your basement for the party, set up a movie marathon or a multitude of kid games. That way they can enjoy a whole evening of fun together. Once midnight hits, it’s time for sleep!
Head To A Hotel For A Night Of Swimming In The Pool
Some families enjoy a staycation for New Years Eve, and the hotel pool is a big part of the fun. If you can afford it throw in some room service burgers and shakes. It’ll definitely be a party the kids will remember for a long time!
Let Off Some Balloons At Midnight
A fun thing for the kids is to send off helium balloons at midnight. This is a fabulous way to say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new.
