Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Make a time capsule. Have your children gather pictures, awards, small toys and other things that they like. Ask them write little notes to themselves to read in the future. Set a future New Year's Day date to open the time capsule.

  2. Step 2

    Teach your children how to say "Happy New Year" in different languages. Look in translation books or go to the Enchanted Learning website.

  3. Step 3

    Play New Year's Day games. Find all kinds of games, puzzles, coloring pages and stories for children online that will help your family celebrate the new year.

  4. Step 4

    Talk with your children about the year gone by. Prompt them to discuss triumphs and things that they were not so proud of. Be honest and tell them the same about your life.

  5. Step 5

    Help your children to create reasonable New Year's resolutions. Take this opportunity to teach your children about setting goals, both large and small. If your family made resolutions last year, discuss everyone's progress.
