How to use these pages
Start the countdown chain in the late afternoon: it has 12 strips, one for each hour to midnight, so younger children who go to bed early can still tear off the last strip at a pretend midnight. Bingo and the memory game suit the dinner table, and the scavenger hunt gets everyone moving before the big moment.
For a mixed-age party, give the easy word search and the easy I spy to younger children and the hard word search to teenagers and grown-ups, then compare times. The bingo set comes with caller cards, so an older child can be the caller.
Want something to colour as well? The New Year colouring pages have fireworks, party hats and clocks striking midnight.
