Setting off firecrackers is seemingly the tradition in some countries. This is what people do when welcoming in the New Year because it is said to bring in good luck as well as ward off evil spirits.
Of course, the times are changing and there are things that you can do instead of firing away those firecrackers. See, firecrackers do harm the environment and that is not something that we want.
And that is why when I came across a list of things that we can do instead of those fireworks, I thought that it would be best to share them with you. Here. Read on.
1) Blow traditional horns or torotot.
2) Make and shake homemade maracas from used tin cans.
3) Jiggle the tambourine made from flattened bottle caps.
4) Clang improvised cymbals using pot lids or pans.
5) Knock empty coconut shells.
6) Play the guitar or any available musical instruments.
7) Play your favorite music.
Beep the bicycle or car horns.
9) Clap your hands and stomp your feet.
10) Sing, dance, and shout “Happy New Year!”
