and encourages people to
have conversations with
strangers and people they
don't know very well
throughout the whole New

4. Game Materials
While my preference is to use
silver garland leftover from
Christmas to make necklaces,
this New Year Party game can
be played with party hats, New
Year Hats, or even nametags.
Check those after-Christmas
sales for great discounts on
silver garland! Then you can
just cut it to length to make a
necklace for each person.

5. Game Preparation
Provide enough garlands or
whatever item you have
substituted for the garland for
everyone that will attend the
party. Every guest at the New Year
party is given a silver garland
necklace when they arrive at the
party. You can also give them party
hats and noise makers to help
usher in the new Year. This game is
played while people mingle during
the party and the prize is awarded
right after midnight.

6. Game Play
1. Party Guests must ask other
guests any questions in which
the natural answer would by
"no" or have the word "know"
as part of the answer.
2. If anyone uses either word ("no"
or "know") in conversation, the
guest they are talking to gets to
take all their silver garlands (or
party hat, nametag, special
sticker or whatever item you
have chosen for your New Year
Party.) Those wearing the
greatest number of garlands
become hot targets!

7. Game Play (Continued)
3. After midnight, the Party
guest with the most
garlands wins.
4. If a guest has lost his or her
garland, he or she can still
play and ask questions.
They could even jump to
the lead again by gaining
the garlands from someone
with a lot of them.

8. Game Discussion or Debrief
As we approach the New Year,
a positive attitude and
optimistic outlook will help us
to make it a prosperous one.
After all, as Christians, we have
a lot to be hopeful for! It's easy
to get caught up in pessimism
based on past mistakes,
failures, and unrealised dreams
and goals.

9. But with Christ, everyday can
be a new beginning! Christ
came that we might have life
and might have it abundantly.
Jeremiah 29:11+ reminds us
that God has plans for our
lives, plan for a hope and a
future! Instead of saying "no"
to things this year, say "Yes"!

10. • What is something that
God might ask you to in
the New Year? Say "YES!"
Maybe you have been
saying "No" to Jesus
becoming your Lord and
Savior! Maybe you have
been saying know to
something he has placed
on your heart to do?
Begin the New Year by saying
"Yes" to Him and his lordship in
your life. Seek God first and all
God's blessing he plans for you
will be yours!
