New Year’s Eve Charades
There are so many fun ways you can entertain your party guests at your New Year’s Eve celebration! But if you’re expecting kids at your celebration, keeping then entertained until the countdown is essential for a great party.
Luckily, both kids and adults love charades! This simple game is a great way to get everyone on their feet and having some fun at your party.
But the best part about these printable charades prompts for New Year’s Eve is that the game is super simple to put together. Just follow the instructions below for setting up your own game at your party. Or just use the printable for your at-home celebration to have a little friendly competition among family members!
How Do You Play New Years Charades?
One of the best things about playing charades at your party is that it’s easy to set-up. You don’t need any special game boards or supplies to put it together. Just a printable and a hat or bowl to hold all the prompts.
To play New Year’s Eve charades, just follow these simple instructions:
- Print out the game prompts. Follow the instructions below for downloading and printing your own NYE charades cards for your game. I suggest printing them on cardstock so they’re a little sturdier than regular paper. That way, you can play over and over again!
- Cut out all the prompts. Use scissors to cut out each prompt around the outer border. After that, fold each prompt strip in half and place all the pieces in a bowl or hat.
- Separate into teams. To start playing, first separate your party group into equal teams. You’ll need at least three members on each team, but the more the better!
- Take turns acting out the clues. Each team will select one person to be the actor for that round. The actor selects a prompt from the bowl, then sets a timer. The actor must act out the clue and the rest of the team tries to guess the answer before the time runs out.
- Keep score. If a team correctly guesses the answer before the time is up, they get a point. The team with the most points after all the prompts have been used wins!
Don’t forget to have a prize ready for the winner of the game! It could be a small favor bag, trophy, or little gift to reward the victor at the end of the game.
