When is New Year's Day 2027?

New Year's Day is January 1, a Friday in 2027. Schools are usually on winter break, so classes do New Year's activities in the last days before break and the first week back in January.

What New Year's activities work for preschool and kindergarten?

The New Year's Eve busy book and pencil control booklet, a 10 to 1 countdown cut and paste, a 1 to 5 picture puzzle, crowns, headbands and party hats, emergent readers and a hidden pictures page. Each page lists its grade range.

What New Year's activities are there for older students?

3rd to 5th graders can solve the Midnight Mystery Countdown escape room, play the New Year category word game, answer year in review question cards, make a My Best Self phone booklet and a 3D folded ball ornament, and read the kinds of resolutions poster.

How can kids set New Year's resolutions?

Start with the resolution flap book or crystal ball page, where each child writes one goal and the steps to reach it. Hang the My New Year Goal bunting in the room, and track progress with the January new goals calendar.
