Ring In The Chinese New Year By Playing Great Party Games

Chinese New Year is a time for great celebration

. As you welcome the new Chinese new year, you may spend days gathering with your family, setting off firecrackers, and exchanging gifts and red envelopes for good luck. Chinese New Year Party Supplies make the occasion more festive such as cups, napkins, and cutlery. Games are always a good party idea, so add them to the festivities at your next Chinese New Year party.

Add a bit to tradition to a Chinese New Year party with a game like "Forcing the Gates" If the guests played "Red Rover" as children, they'll already have a good idea of how to play "Forcing the Gates". Appoint two team captains and have the captains choose who they want to be on their team. Each team holds hands and faces the other. One team then sings:

He stuck a feather in his hat, And hurried to the town And children met him with a horse For the gates were broken down.

The captain chooses a player to run to the other side and try with all his or her might to break through the other team's line. When a player breaks through the opposing team's line, that team loses the two players where the line break occurred to the team that broke through. Then the other side sings the song.

There are many traditional Chinese New Year games to choose from, like"Catching Seven Pieces". It was originally played with small square inch rice bags, but you can use small bean bags to play. One child takes seven of the bags and drops them on the ground or another flat surface so that they're all spread apart and not touching (not too far apart though, or else the game will be difficult to play). To start, they pick up one bag, throw it in the air, pick up another bag while the first one is still airborne, then catch the first bag in the same hand. Then throw one of the pieces into the air again, grab another piece, and catch the airborne piece so that there are three pieces in your hand. The goal is to have all seven pieces in your hand. Dropping a piece causes the player to lose their turn and the next player starts their attempt.

Chinese New Year is a very special holiday and it should be celebrated with lots of fun games. Good food, family and friends, great Chinese New Year Party Supplies and fun games will make the celebration unforgettable.
