Celebrate 2010 with a kids’ New Year’s Eve party this year. We love having our grandsons visit so we can celebrate with them and ring in the new year! Pop some popcorn or make super-duper ice cream sundaes. Use plastic champagne glasses for their juice. Buy some 2010 party hats, leis or Mardi Gras necklaces for the kids to wear.
You don’t have to decorate a lot for a kids’ New Year’s Eve party. They are more excited about getting to stay up until midnight to watch television and see the ball drop at Times Square! The games and activities you plan for your kid’s New Year’s Eve party are very important. Try to plan alternating high and low energy games so the kids don’t get too crazy.

They even have printable “You found the treasure” and the “#1 Winner” trophy sheets. Treasure Hunts can be set up using everyday household items so it isn’t difficult to organize.

Kid’s New Year’s Eve Party Game #3
Host a Wii game Sports Tournament for the kids’ New Year’s Eve party. There are so many fun Wii games that will have kids up and moving. Organize a bowling tournament or maybe a water sports contest! I don’t know a single kid that doesn’t enjoy Wii games, so it’s sure to be a hit at your party.
