Fun and Engaging New Year’s Eve Activities for Kids

These New Year’s Eve activities will help your kids feel excited, engaged, and included in the celebrations. They’ll create a sense of anticipation and fun as you countdown to the new year together. Plus, these activities provide a great opportunity for bonding and creating lasting family memories.

Here are some simple and fun New Year’s Eve activities perfect for kids:

  • Confetti Poppers: These are easy to make with paper rolls, cardstock, and some tape. Kids love the surprise and excitement of popping them at midnight (or an earlier “kid-friendly” midnight — 9 PM over here).
  • Noise Makers: Get ready to make some noise! You can decorate paper plates, cups, or even just use pots and pans to create fun noise makers.
  • Party Hats: No New Year’s Eve celebration is complete without party hats! You can decorate plain hats with glitter, stickers, markers, or even print out fun designs.
  • Headbands: Create sparkly and festive headbands using pipe cleaners, garland, and cardstock.
  • Glasses: Make silly and fun glasses out of construction paper or cardstock.
  • Drink Game (Kid-Friendly): Set up a simple drink game using juice boxes or other non-alcoholic beverages. You can create fun rules or challenges for each round. Don’t want to make your own? You can get my free “Drink If” printable game here –> Free Drinking Game
  • Countdown Clock: Make a paper plate clock with moving hands to help kids visualize the countdown to the new year.

Without engaging activities, children may feel left out of the New Year’s celebrations, leading to boredom and missed opportunities for family bonding. Incorporating these crafts ensures an inclusive and enjoyable experience for all.
