Who's Santa - Christmas Games
Rudolph is waiting for Santa so that all the children’s presents can be
delivered. He needs to find Santa, who is hiding.
Have all the children sit in a circle. One child is selected to be Rudolph and
leaves the room while Santa is selected. One person from the
circle is elected to be the “Santa”, and then “Rudolph” is called back
to stand in the circle.
Once Rudolph returns Santa
can start winking at people in the circle. Anyone who sees that they have been
winked at lets out a loud, “HO! HO! HO! –Merry Christmas. Once Rudolph
identifies Santa, you start again.
Pin The Nose on
the Reindeer - Christmas Games
Holiday variation of Pin the tail on the Donkey. Create a picture of a
reindeer's head. You can draw it or use construction paper, make sure you draw
an outline for the nose, but don't complete it. You'll want the picture to go on
a wall or flat surface. You'll also need to make noses to be placed on the
picture. Red or black work great, or use different colors for each child so you
can tell who placed which one where or just number the noses.
To play: Each child will
be given a nose, you can use tape on one side of the nose so it sticks to the
board. Blindfold the who's turn it is and spin them around 3-5 times, (so there
a little dizzy) now point them in the direction of the reindeer (2-3 feet in
front of it) and tell them to walk forward and place the nose on the reindeer.
The one closest to the actual reindeer noses wins!
Blowing out the Christmas Candle -
Christmas Games
A lighted candle is placed upon a table or chair and each player is, in turn,
blindfolded and stool with his back to the candle, about two feet away. He is
then told to take three steps forward, turn round three times, take four steps
towards the candle and then blow it out.
In the majority of cases, the blindfolded player will lose all
idea of distance and position, and when he blows will be in quite another part
of the room from that in which the candle stands. Of course, it is wise to have
a player or two standing by the side of the candle to prevent any blindfolded
person from getting too near.
Gift Giving - Christmas Games
This is a fun and exciting way to exchange gifts. Each person brings a wrapped
unmarked gift. (We usually have a $$ limit-ex. $5.00) Or you can bring white
elephants gifts for added fun. Everyone sits in a circle and the gifts are
placed in a pile in the middle of the circle. Write numbers from 1-??, depending
on the number of gifts, on small pieces of paper. Do not number the gifts. Fold
papers and place them in a hat or some other container.
Each person randomly picks a paper (number) from the hat. Start with the
person holding number 1. He/she picks a gift and opens it. Number two can either
pick a gift from the pile or take the gift from number one. Number one then
chooses a wrapped gift from the pile and opens it. Number three can either take
a gift from numbers 1 or 2 or pick one from the pile to open. . There is no
limit on the number of gifts one person can open if others continue to take the
gift they have opened. Each gift can only change hands three times through
out the game. The person with the gift on the third exchange keeps it. Each
person ends up with only one gift. You may end up with the same gift you
brought.
You may also play this
game without opening the gifts till the end when
everyone has a gift in hand and all the exchanging is over. It's not only funny
to see people vie for a gift when they don't even know what is actually in the
package but also when the gift is opened..
Santa Hat Game - Christmas Games
For festive gatherings with Santa
hats. You need everyone to be wearing a hat, so either use the ever popular
Santa hats, or otherwise give everyone a normal party hat. The game is based on observation. the objective is NOT to be the last person
left with a hat on. At the start announce the simple objective, the only rule is that no one can
take their hat off until you have.
Let another game or conversation take place, and as time goes by, people
will take their attention off you, and even forget the game is happening.
Eventually remove your hat and watch as people cotton on. Gradually the hats
will come off, amidst sniggers and smirks. Some unsuspecting person (who’s
probably busy boring everyone with a hopeless story)
will be last to notice, and much to every ones’ mirth, this person is the
loser.
Serve up an appropriate forfeit, get the hats back on and give the loser the
chance to start the next game.
Sock Guessing
Game - Christmas Games
You take a new pair of thick thermal socks. You know the gray ones that hunters
use in the winter. Then you put objects, that you see or use around Christmas
time, into the socks. Make sure you put the same things in each sock. Things
like holly, scotch tape, ornament, pine cone, etc. Make sure you put about 20 to
25 different objects in. Tie a ribbon or rope around the opening to make sure
nobody peeks. Give everyone a piece of paper and pass the socks around at your
party and tell them how many objects there are in the sock and have them write
down all they can feel. Two socks just makes the game go a little faster. The
person that guesses the most objects is the winner.
