Game Instructions

Left Right Game

Each person starts with a gift. Everyone is to pass the gifts anytime they hear “left” or “right” while someone reads the poem. A free printable of the poem can be found here.

Homemade Ugly Sweater

Set up a station with long sleeve shirts or crewnecks (can be found at a craft store). Include different decorations that can be glued or ironed onto the sweater. You can also include paints, stencils, markers, etc. The options are endless!

Name that Christmas Movie

Use quotes, scenes, or movie summaries for each team to guess the correct Christmas movie. Split into however many teams as long as it is even.

Ring the Reindeer Antlers

Can be purchased on Amazon

Oven Mitts Game

Similar to the Saran Wrap game, but using oven mitts. Click here.

Guess the Christmas Smell

Use mason jars or containers that can keep the smell contained. Use a blindfold for each player’s turn. Gather pencils and paper for guessing. For more information on how to play, click here.

What’s in Santa’s Hat

This game begins as soon as your guests arrive at the party. As each person enters the room, hand them a Santa hat and ask them to keep it on until they see you take yours off. Once everyone is wearing a hat, mingle and engage in conversation until everyone starts to forget about the game. Once your guests are distracted, quietly remove your hat and wait to see who catches on and does the same. The last guest to have his hat on is the loser and gets to start the next round. Found on Everyday Health.

Candy Cane Hunt

Think of the Easter egg hunt game, just using candy canes instead.

Saran Wrap Gift

To play, gather in a circle and the winner of the dice roll puts on the hat and starts unwrapping the saran wrap ball. You must keep the ball on the tabletop at all times and unwrap it as fast as possible while the person to the right keeps rolling the dice until they get doubles. From Southern Crush

Naughty or Nice

Instructions are linked here.

Jingle Bell Toss

This game is a fun twist on another popular cup game, Beer Pong. Gather tiny red cups in the same fashion as Beer Pong and use jingle bells as the balls.

 

Use any of these activities to add some holiday cheer to your holiday parties this year!
