Party Games, some new, some old!

New Year's Eve or even New Year's Day is a great time to get together with family. All the obligations are over; now is the time for some fun. Here in the South we get together to eat certain foods, particularly black-eyed peas. But chips and dips and college bowl games are the order of the day as well. And it's always fun to play some games.

Besides the usual games your family might play, here are some you could add.
New Year Scattergories~

Played like "Scattergories" of course, but I've added these questions that pertain to the holiday. See your "Scattergories" game box for the rules. If you have younger children, put them with an adult so they can play too. This is fun for everyone.

Just print this game sheet out so everyone has a copy. Check your Scattergories game box for rules or get online. But basically you roll the dice with the letters of the alphabet on it. Let's say someone rolls a "D". Then everyone writes the name of a winter sport that starts with "D". (Perhaps "downhill.") Then continue down the list. A song title or lyric that starts with "D," and so on down the list all starting with a "D" on the first game. You set the timer, and then stop when the timekeeper announces. Points are given if you are the only one who had an answer that no one else thought of or wrote. I'll post the website with the rules.

Do You Know Me?

The next one I call, "Do You Know Me?" Pass out slips of paper and pencils. Someone is the reader. The reader reads the question and everyone responds writing their answers on their slip of paper. Papers are then turned in to the reader. The reader reads the responses. Everyone else tries to guess who said that. Points are given to the person/persons who correctly guesses who said that. On the next question, assign a different reader so everyone has a chance. After all rounds, the person with the most correct guesses wins.

Here are some sample questions. Party-goers can also come up with questions of their own to submit.
  1. Write one of your New Year's resolutions.
  2. Write one of your favorite memories from LAST year.
  3. Write an embarrassing moment from LAST year.
  4. Write a new goal you have for next year.
  5. Name a do-over you would like to have from LAST year.
  6. Name something this next year that you want to do different.
  7. Name something you plan to get rid of in the new year.
  8. Name a trip you'd like to take next year. (Whether you will or not.)
  9. Name a movie you'd like to see next year.
  10. Name a new toy you'd like to get next year.

I love the idea for 'Do You Know Me?' - it sounds very interactive.
