Need some last minute, easy activities for a family New Year’s Eve party?  I thought of one (the lights, camera, action one) and found two on the Family Fun site.  Hope these help you in your party planning.  (You might be interested in my Celebrate New Year’s Eve with Grandchildren that I wrote last year.)

Lights, Camera, Action. If you have a video camera, divide family members into teams and give them 15 minutes to write a script for a skit.  Give them a few minutes to practice it.  Then, have the group ‘perform’ in front of the others and film it with your video camera.  After each group has been filmed, hook your camera up to your TV and watch the skits.  Everybody will love watching themselves in their Oscar winning performance!

From Family Fun
Midnight Balloon Shower — directions on how to make a balloon drop for your party.
Around the Clock — ideas for a clock theme party. (I think grandchildren would like the idea of painting their face white and then drawing on black clock hands.)

Hope you have a great time ringing in the new year!

(Since my husband is on call and our friends are partying in with their own families, we’ll be spending a quiet time at home.  By ourselves.  ROCKIN’ OUT WITH THE BEATLES’ ROCK BAND!  Can’t get any better than that . . .)
