1. Family Feud - Players are broken up into teams. Make up questions from a list of
holiday-themed survey responses for everyone to answer. Each team is given an allotted
time to write their three guesses on a piece of paper. The judge then reveals if their
guesses were on the list and the value of their answers. The number one ranked survey
response is worth 50 points, 40 if it's number two and so on. Once all the questions have
been answered, the points are tallied to determine the winner.
Materials Needed: Bond Papers, Pens
2. Blind Fold Drawing - First, grab some paper plates and markers. Players are blindfolded
and hold their paper plate on top of their head. One person gives drawing instructions
while everyone else tries to draw the Christmas Decors they describe onto the plate. The
most accurate drawing wins! The game and its instructions are provided by Happy Home
Fairy.
Materials Needed: Handkerchief, Paper Plates, Markers
3. Hephep Hooray
4. Find Santa’s Friends - Hide a variety of plastic or stuffed elves and reindeer throughout
the house. The team that has the most number of Santa’s friends is the winner.
Materials Needed: Christmas Decors: Elves, Reindeers, Snowman
5. Holiday Storyteller - Everyone stands in a circle as one person begins a made up holiday
story with one sentence. Each person after them must recite what the previous player(s)
said and add their own sentence. If someone forgets a detail while recalling the whole
story, they’re out. The story keeps building until only one person can recall all of the
details and wins the game.
6. Gift Wrap-up - Have participants pair off. Tie one person’s right hand to their
teammate’s left hand. The duos will then attempt to wrap a gift using their free hands.
Have an example gift for everyone to attempt to duplicate — the harder it is to create, the
funnier. Give a time limit of 1–3 minutes and then have a judge pick the most accurate
gift.
7. Name that Carol - Play a minus one of the Christmas Carols in your list. The team who
will raise their hand first and will guess the correct title of the song will get the point. The
team who will have the highest point is the winner.
