Musical Chairs
A classic game that’s always a hit with kids and adults alike. Play music and see who can find a chair when the music stops. Make it extra fun by playing the kids’ favorite songs or the biggest hits of the year!
Mini New Year’s Countdown for the Kids
For younger children who may not be able to stay awake until midnight, a mini countdown earlier in the evening is a perfect solution. Let them celebrate their own countdown with sparklers, balloons, and good soft drink. It’s a fun and festive way to end the night for the little ones!
