Kids’ New Year’s Eve Party Games

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.
