Music on, sofa pushed back – let's dance! This dancing coloring page shows a family dancing into the new year right in their living room. Print it for free and color your own New Year's Eve party at home.
Why this living room is full of energy
Dad wears a zigzag-patterned sweater and throws his hand in the air, mom twirls in a long floral dress, and a boy in a striped shirt holds hands with a little girl in a ponytail. Above them hang light bulb string lights, bunting and lots of curly streamers, with confetti flying everywhere. A sofa and a shelf with plants and books sit in the background. All those patterns make a great challenge for older kids.

Dancing and jumping into the new year
In many countries, music and dancing are part of ringing in the new year. In Scotland the big celebration is called Hogmanay, with lots of singing and dancing. In Denmark, some families climb onto chairs just before midnight and jump into the new year. In Germany, a short black-and-white comedy sketch called “Dinner for One” is shown on TV every New Year's Eve. And dancing is great for you: it trains your balance and boosts your mood.
