Christmas Party Games For The Whole Family
Because the gifts are opened and the paper strewn about the living room, doesn’t suggest the excitement of Christmas is over. Add some Christmas party games to extend the excitement of Christmas.
If you’ve a large gathering on Christmas day, have fun with the hat game. When they arrive, give everyone a Santa hat. These are inexpensive and can be bought for $1 at the dollar store, or less in serious quantities, if you plan in advance. As everyone goes about their business of getting food, talking with others and such like, the room will look extremely festive with everybody wearing their Santa hats.
However, the object of this game is to not keep your hat on. As people forget about the hats, the purpose is to get rid of your hat and not be the last one wearing a Santa hat.
Necessarily there will be one individual so wrapped up in a dialogue or the buffet table, they forget to take off their hat and may be left the game’s loser. This is a game that may be played again and again as you head forward with the day’s festivities.
One fun memory game that kids especially like is to make everybody give serious attention to all the gifts that are opened on Christmas day. After the gifts are removed from the room ( or you remove yourselves from the gift room ) have everybody try and remember every single gift everyone got. Include stockings and any food gifts.
Tell folk they just have to remember the items that were opened that day, not any gifts they received and opened prior to Christmas day. This can be a fun game that’s particularly well liked by youngsters because they love to relive the gift magic. In addition, if they were so dunked with their own gifts they did not notice any one else’s, this is an even chance for them to educate themselves about what everyone got that day.
If you want a game to keep everybody busy before dinner, try the Christmas party games called “guess me” or “who’s that”. Buy some massive heavy socks, not low-rise, but the type that are worn outside in the winter that are thick and come at least to the calf. Put several items in the socks. Make sure matching items are in each sock. These items should be related to Christmas in some way.
You might include a small ornament, scotch tape, a pinecone, a Hershey’s kiss, and such. Have each person feel the socks ( having two socks just makes the game go quicker, but you can play with only one sock ), and write down their guesses about what is in the socks. Be sure to tell everybody how many items are in each sock. The winner gets, you guessed it…one of the socks!
If you have a bunch of wanna-be performers in your group on Christmas day, how about playing a little game of “Christmas Idol”? Set up a small table for the “judges” and have teams of two folk ( or people, if they want ) to sing a Christmas carol. Tell them to have plenty of fun with the track, and even add a Santa hat or other dress-up items if they wish.
The winners can take home a CD of Christmas tunes. This game is particularly fun if just the kids need to perform and be judged by the adults, or if, inversely, the adults perform, and are judged by the children.
