The countdown to New Years is always exciting, but those hours can seem long if you don’t have anything to do but sit around and wait. There has to be something more to do than just write up a list of resolutions, right? The best way to make the night go by quickly and still be full of memories is by keeping everyone entertained!

In order to make it a fun evening for everyone, I’ve rounded up nine fantastically fun game and activities that are perfect for the whole family!
