Holidays New Years Eve New Years Eve Party Games
nye party gamesWhen planning New Year’s Eve party games, you will want to consider the ages of the people who will attend the party and the room available for parties.

Match the resolution

Have guests write down their resolution on a sheet of paper with their full name when they arrive at the party. Put it in a bowl. Before the game starts, have the guests put on name tags. Give each guest a sheet of paper. Pull out a resolution and write the number one on the first one and continue numbering each resolution.

Each guest will write the number and the guest they think it matches. Have everyone switch papers and “correct” the paper with a red pen. The one with the most right answers wins.

Guess the month

Go to a local used bookstore and find news magazines for each month of the current year. Have party guests guess which month an article occurred. This can be done in a variety of ways.

  1. Cover the magazine so that no one can see the cover. Have a timer ready. Start the timer when someone starts reading the article and stop reading the article when the month is correctly guessed. Keep score. There can be a winner with the most correct answers and shortest time until month guessed.
  2. Write down the article titles on a sheet of paper with a place to fill in the month and magazine. Make enough copies for each guest and have plenty of pens. There could be a winner for each category and an over-all winner. This can also be done with website articles.
  3. Put the articles or article titles on poster boards. Assign a number to each article. Give guests a sheet of paper that has each month and space for one or more numbers (depending on number of articles used) next to it. If there is a tie, have a couple back up articles for a tie breaker or have a drawing.


Random questions

Have a bag of inexpensive gifts and every half hour or quarter hour ask questions and give out gifts. The questions can be from the following categories:

  • The “mostest” (the youngest, came the farthest, lives the closest, oldest, etc)
  • General trivia questions
  • Current events from year.
  • House trivia (type of plant in the front yard, how long family lived at house, color of roof, etc.)
  • Guest trivia (middle name of a guest, occupation, etc.)


The winner can be the first one to answer

New Year’s Eve games can also be favorite board or new games that came out during the year. Classic games are always fun, too.
