False Predictions

As you start the New Year, listen to God. Don't listen to the voices of discouragement, but to the great encourager, the one who knew you before you were even born. The key to realizing God's plan for you, of release from whatever captivity you may be in, of restoration to God and his place for you is to seek Him with all your heart. When you do, you not only find him, you also find yourself! (more)

New Year's Charades

In this classic variation of charades participants must act out phrases or words in order for team members to guess the correct phrase. The essence of Charades is pantomimes: you must act out a word or phrase without speaking or making any sound effects. For a New Year's Party Game, use events from the past year for items. You can still use the typical categories of charades like TV shows, Movies, books etc, but use those that were released in the previous 12 months! (more)

New Year's Win, Lose or Draw

This variation of charades began as a TV show in which participants drew illustrations of the phrases in order for team members to guess the correct phrase. For a New Year's Party Game, use events from the past year for items. You can still use the typical categories of charades like TV shows, Movies, books etc, but use those that were released in the previous 12 months! (more)
