New Year Games

New Year's Eve means fun and games. Here are some fun new years party games.
1. Ice breakers
Games that break the ice get guests mingling as the party gets underway. One idea is the game Where Do You Stand?

Another ice breaking game is Fact or Fiction. To play, everyone takes turns reciting one factual and one fictitious thing they did this year. The crowd must guess which statement is true and which is false.
