The year is slowly drawing to a close, which means the arrival of the festive season and family get-togethers over dinner in anticipation of the New Year. But a celebration wouldn't be a success without the right atmosphere. So, how can you entertain young and old at your New Year's Eve party? Here are 5 ideas for original activities that should keep you from getting bored.

The gift hunt

The principle is simple: everyone searches the house for their gift, following clues scattered all over the place. If you have a large space, the game will be even more fun. The important thing is not to give away the location of the next clue. Let the players rack their brains and scour the entire house for the next message until they reach the Holy Grail: their respective gifts.

“Who am I?”

This is a classic game that never tires of being played in a group or with the whole family. There are many variations on this game, but the aim is basically the same: to guess, or get others to guess, a cartoon character, a celebrity or an animal.

Here's how it works. The host writes the names of famous people on slips of paper and slips them into a bowl. Guests take it in turns to pick a name and look at it discreetly. The others start asking closed-ended questions to try and guess the character corresponding to each one. At the end of the evening, the person who has guessed the most characters through his or her questions wins the game.

Post-it

This game is a variation on “Who am I”, but is also a lot of fun. In this game, the player picks a piece of paper from the salad bowl containing the name of a famous person (singer, actor, politician, cartoon character, etc.) without looking at the contents. The others then stick the piece of paper on his forehead, and he tries to guess the name on it, asking only closed questions.

The 21

The aim of this game is simple, but requires a clear mind. The guests sit on the floor in a circle. The first player begins the countdown by saying “1”. The next player says “2”, then the third ‘3’, and so on until “21” is called. The player who has said this number will choose one at random and say a name or word. From now on, this word/name will replace the number, and the countdown begins again.

For example, if the player replaces “3” with ‘cow’, “cow” must be pronounced at the next count. The next player to say “21” will designate a new number and replace it with a new word. The difficulty lies in remembering the numbers substituted and the words that replaced them. Each player who makes a mistake is eliminated, and the last player standing wins the game.

Role-playing game

In this final game, each guest draws a piece of paper containing a specific character trait, such as grumpy, sad, shy, happy, talkative, etc. They then interpret each character assigned to them during the evening. The others will try to guess which character is which. It's a game that's sure to get everyone involved and have a lot of fun.
