New Year’s Scripture: Printables for your Celebration

Looking for something fun and meaningful to do with your family this New Year’s? Check out our New Year’s Scripture Printables!

I’ll be honest. I’m one of those moms who puts her kids to bed at 8pm on New Year’s Eve and doesn’t even feel guilty about it. After all, in my 30-something years of life, I’ve probably rung in the New Year from under the covers at least 30 times.

I know. I’m a real party animal, huh?

It’s not that I don’t love the new year. I do love the idea of new beginnings. I genuinely enjoy thinking about the blessings of the previous year that have come to pass and the potential of the year before us. I’ve just never been one to get into the staying up all night celebration part. Until this year.

The kids are getting older and they’ve wondered what all the hype could be about, and I love simple traditions like staying up until midnight! So, this year I decided that it was time for a New Year’s Eve Celebration! I thought about all that I wanted my kids to get out of the event and, of course, I crafted up a plan.

new-years-celebration-scripture printables

The festivities will start at 7pm with the popping of balloon #1. I created some New Year’s Celebration Scripture Printables and rolled them up. (Don’t worry, I’m sharing them with you. Just scroll down to the bottom of this post.) Next, I placed them inside a deflated balloon. The kids helped me blow up the balloons and then I drew a time on each one. To keep it simple I did 7pm, 8pm and 9pm. Then every half hour starting at 9:30pm. This made a total of 9 balloons.

I tied the balloons to the light fixture over the kitchen table. You could also tie them to the blinds of a large window or just hang up a string and create your own line of balloons. I thought the light fixture would be fun because we will have to search through them in order to find the next time!

Each time we pop a balloon, we will read the New Year’s scripture verse. It’s actually just a reference on the slip, so we can read them straight from the Bible. After we read the scripture, there is a question to discuss. They are simple and upbeat topics on things like favorite memories from the past year and things we hope will happen next year.

After our discussion, I have activities planned for each segment. I didn’t add these to the printable because I wanted you to be able to have the flexibility of deciding your own activities. Depending on the age of your kids, items you have at home, and budget, your activities might look a bit different.

Our Family Friendly New Year’s Eve Celebration:

7:00 pm—> Play Minute-to-Win-It, one of our family’s favorite things to do together! The materials are simple and usually on hand. Plus it’s awesome fun for all ages. Click here for game ideas.

8:00 pm—> Have a year-in-review scavenger hunt. (Or you could make a time capsule.)

9:00 pm—> Make a vision board for the New Year. I use this idea for my goals and dreams in my business and I love the idea of making one for our family. I think we will make one all together instead of two separate ones, but you get the idea! Pinterest has lots of great ideas as well.

visionboards1

9:30 pm—> Make party hats to wear when the clock strikes 12. They are super simple and you can make them with any craft supplies that you have on hand.

10:00 pm—> Cupcake Fondue time! I can not tell you how excited I am about this idea. Hop over and see all of the great ideas for dippers!

10:30 pm —> Photo booth time! I’ve never done a photo booth with my kids, but I think they will love it. Plus it’s a fun way to make a memory with these cute FREE printables. Don’t be thrown off by the 2014 images, there is a link for 2015 too!

11:00 pm —> Make our own noisemakers. I love this idea because it’s so simple. Just a paper plate, some filler, and ribbons. The kids can be super creative with these.

paper-plate-noise-maker

11:30 pm—> I want the last half hour of our celebration to be very special. We will spend this time looking at the fun things we did tonight like our photo memories scavenger hunt and our family vision board. We will then get all of our materials ready for the big countdown and then gather on the couch to ring the New Year in through song! Our family loves to sing. We usually read the story behind the hymn and then sing the song from Then Sings My Soul. It’s such a beautiful time!

12:00 pm—> Happy New Year! Have a balloon drop. I can’t wait to do this. At midnight, we will release the balloons for a moment of sheer delight! Another fun idea is to hand out Midnight kisses.

I pray that your family has an amazing celebration together this year! Don’t forget to download your free New Year’s Celebration Scripture Printables.

    I never leave comments but this idea is Awesome!! I have a 16 y/o teen & I thought this would be too childish for him, but he absolutely LOVED IT!! Every hour he got such a kick out of popping a balloon. He loved the scriptures & questions & even wanted to pray afterwards. Thank you for posting a spiritual New Year’s Eve idea. Our church has a night-watch, but I never want to go out that late especially on New Years & have always wanted to have a spiritual New Years with my son. And the scriptures were so appropriate!! I’m also a single mom & homeschooler, so I have pinned your website for future reference. Thanks!!!

    Thank you so much for this resource! We used the printables and ideas and modified them for our family. The last several years we had a few families over for a New Year’s party, but due to health issues, I just could not do it this year. My children were a little bummed that it was going to be just our family for New Years, but your ideas gave me inspiration and everyone enjoyed our New Year’s celebration. Maybe a new tradition……..

    Ithink the scripture cards and questions would be great for this year especially after all of the challenges children have been through. It’s hard for adults not knowing how the next days will play out, maybe these will help ease the minds of the littles? Am I missing how to print them out? THANK YOU!!

Here’s What Others Are Saying about Not Consumed

profile-pic
Laura, homeschooling mom of 6

Love everything you do!

As far as the other things, I LOVE my brothers keeper and we've done it twice over the past year or two. I recommend it all the time on so many groups online. I type notconsumed.com almost daily somewhere on something. At times I will come across another resource you have created and it's like you are in my head. So much of what you create is exactly what I want but am not techy enough to do! I had googled a checklist for homeschooling recently and yours popped up. It was exactly the simple thing I wanted. I told my husband that you "get me" when I found it. :) I ended up buying it then hearing about the course and did that too. Even as a veteran homeschool mom I learned a few things from your course. I really love how you foster independence in your kids in stages. Again, exactly what I want to do!

Tara, single homeschooling mom

Brings courage to my heart!

I want to thank you for your transparency and dedication to blessing families with resources. Thank you for the life giving words that I read over and over. I cling to the hope I see in your story. Not only did you help me work through things that had happened, you prepared me for a situation that could have consumed me. God used your encouragement to strengthen me. I was so beaten down, discouraged, and tired from the long and difficult path I had been walking. It was a refreshing rain in the middle of a weary road, and it made me hope for a future that is victorious.

Lasting Impression on My Entire Family

I wanted to write to encourage you and say, "THANK YOU!" I've been following your blog for years, and you have made such a lasting impression on my entire family. We've purchased many of your Bible Studies and a few other wonderful homeschooling resources, all of which we absolutely love!!! Still, I believe the greatest compliment I can give you is that because of your Bible Studies that my children and I have completed together, my oldest daughter has been so inspired, she's started creating her own daily devotionals, modeled after the ones you've made. They are absolutely precious (in her own little 12-year old way), and she prints one off each morning for our entire family to complete during our quiet time. When she finishes her first "study" (which is on the Fruits of the Spirit by the way), she plans to print a set to hand out to her small group at church. To see my daughter take ownership of her faith in this way and to bless others with a deeper study of God's Word is a precious gift to me, and I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and positive influence!

Life-giving Words

What an encouragement your words have been to me! The practical tips and realistic systems that you share are so super helpful, but what I have appreciated the most has been your genuine heart for the Lord and for the things of the Lord. What I sense through your words is a heart submitted to the Lord, clinging to Him instead of to bitterness. Walking a path that you never signed up for, painfully aware of your brokenness and inadequacies, but keeping your eyes focused on the only Giver of Life. You have a testimony of victory, of overcoming, Kim. Your life-giving words boast of the faithfulness of a God who hears and sees and knows and provides and comforts. A God who doesn't change.

Monthly Scripture Pages

Thank you for creating the monthly Scripture pages... especially the KJV one! It's the only Bible I use and hardly any bloggers use it on their stuff. I also really appreciate the products that you provide. I really appreciate the insights, laughter, and thoughtfulness put into your blog, emails, Facebook posts, etc.

You're in my head, sister!

I just wanted you to know that I LOVE your blog. I can’t tell you how much the homeschooling posts have meant to me. It’s like you’re in my head, sister!! Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy life to minister to struggling moms and making me feel as if I’m not alone.

My daughter loves it all!

I just want to write and let you know that my 13-year-old daughter loves, love, loves everything I have ever ordered from you and says that she wants your entire inventory of bible studies for her next birthday!

Thank you for making a positive difference in our lives!

Cathy, homeschool mom of 2

Bible Studies are Incredible!

I just ordered and am in the process of printing out so many of your amazing resources and I can't wait to get started! Your bible studies are incredible and so thoughtful, your planner is wonderfully laid out and your breakfast and lunch stations will save me so much time!! I don't know how you do it all, but I'm thankful you do!

Fabulous, heart-felt resources for parents!

Thank you, Kim, for continuing to offer such fabulous and heart-felt resources to us parents! I was not raised in a Christian home and feel like I’m floundering in the dark trying to raise my children to know and love the Lord. Your emails and bible studies are my lifeline! You should write a parenting manual!

May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly!

Like Being With a Girlfriend

Thanks for sharing a piece of your family. Your blog is, honestly, the only one I have ever subscribed to. I feel like I'm on the phone with a girlfriend every time I read your words. I love it! I often find myself spending hours clicking from one post to the next telling myself, "okay, one more and then go to bed!" It's all just so helpful!

Positive Impact in My Life

I've been following your blog for a couple years and I have enjoyed participating in your free bible studies/devotions as well as those I've purchased from you. I just wanted to let you know that you've made such a positive impact in my spiritual and home school life, as well as support and encouragement for motherhood. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many moms.
