Family-Friendly New Year’s Eve Tips

The kids DON’T have to stay up ’til midnight to do the New Year’s Eve countdown. You can do it at noon. Or Dinner. Or bedtime. It’ doesn’t have to be the new year to do the countdown.

I’ve been at a restaurant on New Year’s Eve where they did a 12pm countdown for kids. They brought out party hats and noisemakers and did the countdown. It was fun. Then, dessert was eaten and everyone went home.

10 New Year’s Eve Activities for Kids

  • Photo shoot with New Year’s Eve Photo Props
  • Make noise makers
  • Countdown clock
  • Mocktails
  • DIY New Year’s Eve crackers
  • New Year’s Eve Scavenger Hunt
  • Winter BINGO
  • New Year’s Eve Twister
  • Dance party
  • Balloon games

In year’s past, we’ve always included the kids in New Year’s Eve celebrations. I make a fancy dinner. We all put on “fancy clothes”. We set the kitchen table for company (who this year…will just be us). And we even let the kids have a mocktail (or two) in wine glasses (which they have always LOVED…there’s something fun to a kid about drinking sparkling juice out of a real wine glass!).

We eat a good meal. Have an extraordinary dessert. And then, switch into pjs and watch a movie or New Year’s Eve special on the couch. And now, my kids are all at an age where they can stay up at watch the ball drop at midnight!

Sometimes the best New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day activities for kids is to just keep them busy. It is a day off afterall! Break the routine and do something different as a family.

That may look like a family hike. Sledding. Making a snowman. Maybe you want to fancy things up and make a special meal.

Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And wit Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And with my recent concussion...I've had a lesson of setting (and sticking to) boundaries. 

Also, I'm learning kids need reminders of boundaries too. (Auto-regulation with virtual school is a CHALLENGE here!)

There are times to do things and there are times NOT to do things. There are times to say yes and times when it is totally OK to say no. 

What kind of boundaries are you setting?
Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if she wanted to colour my hair. Because pandemic. 

Navigating emotions is a challenge now (I believe @ericaehm has written about this). Teens are cut off from routine, in-person school, social circles. And add in being home with parents and siblings all the time. It's tough for all.

Luckily here, we seem to be rotating feeling the funk so when one is down someone else boosts them up.

Like "hey wanna colour my hair?!".

It's too dark in my opinion...but who cares..it's only hair...and I'm not going anywhere. And it was something different to do in a day.

Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚ Available at pu Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.
