Plan a New Year’s
bash with your kids that is fun and educational. Kids can feel left out of New
Year’s celebrations because they can’t stay up until midnight. But with a
little planning your kids can have a New Year’s bash that they will remember
for years to come.
It’s Always Midnight Somewhere – Plan your party by the world clock and ring in the New Year when the clock strikes 12 somewhere else. This is also a great way to teach geography and world cultures. Another option is ring in the New Year at noon.
Imitate the Ball Drop – Buy a pinata so you can imitate the Times Square ball drop. At midnight, let the kids crack it open to get the candy. Or, try a balloon drop. Put a bunch of balloons in a large trash bag and then release them at your faux midnight.
Toast – Use plastic, fancy glasses with sparkling cider
Think Up Resolutions- Help your child stick to their resolutions by writing them down or making posters to remind them.
Make Noisemakers - Fill toilet paper roll with rice or dry beans. Cover both ends with paper and decorates the tube. Shake it as the ball drops to welcome the New Year.
Happy New Year!
