Christmas Party Games: Fun For All
Just because the gifts are opened and the paper strewn about the living room, does not imply the fun of Christmas is over. Add some Christmas party games to increase the excitement of Christmas.
If you have a large gathering on Christmas day, have some fun with the hat game. When they arrive, give everyone a Santa hat. These are cheap and can be bought for $1 at the dollar store, or perhaps less in bulk, if you plan in advance. As everyone goes about their business of getting food, speaking with others and the like, the room will look very 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 point is to get rid of your hat and not be the last one wearing a Santa hat.
Necessarily there'll 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 as you head forward with the day's festivities.
One fun memory game that youngsters especially like is to make everybody pay careful 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 present room ) have everybody try and remember every single gift everybody got. Include stockings and any food gifts.
Tell folk they only have to remember the things that were opened that day, not any gifts they received and opened prior to Christmas day. This is often a fun game that's particularly well liked by kids because they love to relive the gift magic. In addition, if they were so submerged with their own gifts they didn't notice anybody else's, this is a fair 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 giant heavy socks, not low-rise, but the type that are worn out of doors in 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. This stuff should be related to Christmas in some way.
You might include a little ornament, scotch tape, a pinecone, a Hershey's kiss, and the like. Have each person feel the socks ( having two socks just makes the game go quicker, but you can play with only 1 sock ), and write down their estimates about what is in the socks. Be certain to tell everyone 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, what about playing a little game of "Christmas Idol"? Set up a tiny table for the "judges" and have teams of 2 folks ( or individuals, if they need ) to sing a Christmas carol. Tell them to have a lot 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 youngsters desire to perform and be judged by the adults, or if, conversely, the adults perform, and are judged by the children.
