We love planing a special family night when it comes to celebrating New Years Eve! Here is a list of New Years Eve party ideas for all ages.
New Years Eve Party Ideas for All Ages!
Now that my boys are old enough to make it awake until midnight, we try to make each new years eve super fun! Here is a list of games and other ideas we have used to make it a fun night. I hope you enjoy these new years eve party ideas for all ages anytime. Let’s get started…
Balloon Drop
This year why not do a balloon drop? We love to suspend a bunch of balloons from the living room ceiling and release them at midnight.
Paper Plate Shakers
These paper plate shakers make great New Year’s Eve noisemakers! Plus they’re super easy to make. Simply glue two small plates together around the edges – fill with rice or dried beans and insert a craft stick while you’re gluing everything together. When the glue is dry you can decorate the noisemakers any way you like. Your imagination is the limit!
Piñata
Make a ball-shaped piñata to resemble the big ball that drops in New York City. My boys love to decorate it with paint, sparkly beads and glitter, At midnight we let the kids take turns to break it!
Mocktails
Toast each other with sparkling cider, ginger-ale punch or some other bubbly mocktail. Check out recipes for mocktails here or here.
Ready for some games?
Chickapig Board Game
Break your flock of Chickapigs free while dodging opponents, hay bales, and an unruly pooping cow in this strategic board game.
Overview
You are in charge of a flock of Chickapigs. Coordinate your Chickapigs, hay bales, and the cow so that you can be the first player to get all your Chickapigs through your goal.
The Pooping Cow
There’s a cow on the board, and when you move it, it poops! Whoever goes over a poop must take a poop card, which is always bad.
In Other Words
Chickapig is a highly social strategy game involving offense, defense, and avoiding poop.
You can find the Chickapig board game on Amazon.
Sculptapalooza
Kids can squish, squash, and sculpt their way to creative play with Playfoam Pop N’ Play! Simply squish the mini Playfoam into one of two flexible, non-stick, silicone molds, then press to pop and play with the shaped piece or use the Playfoam on its own to sculpt custom creations.

I think it’s a nice idea to include kids. I would enjoy that much more than some boozy grown-up loud party.
