What you'll need

  • Balloons
  • Marker
  • String
  • Scissors
  • Wooden skewer

How it works

  1. Inflate 7 balloons and, if you like, put a note with a surprise or activity inside each balloon. It can be anything – a riddle, a dance, or a game.

  2. Write a time on each balloon – from 6 PM to midnight. Attach the balloons to a string in your living room or wherever your New Year's party is taking place.

  3. Starting at 6 PM, pop a balloon every hour and see what surprise or activity is inside. Maybe it’s a joke to tell, a little dance, or a fun game.

  4. Your balloon countdown will make New Year's Eve an exciting experience, and the time until midnight will fly by. Have fun celebrating and discovering!
