Family-friendly Christmas Party Games

 


The Christmas season brings gifts, joy, happiness, and togetherness. So, why not make them all the merrier with Christmas games for the whole family! Here, we've gathered lots of ideas to keep you smiling and laughing at gatherings this season

So put on the Christmas music, pile up the cookies and hot chocolate, and get ready for a lot of fun you'll remember for years to come!

CANDY CANE GAME



This is a cute little game that is also a great Christmas party favor for your guests to take home. 
You will need:
  • small stocking
  • a lot of candy canes
  • chopsticks
  • large bowl
  • cup to fit into the stocking 
You can usually find these stockings at your local dollar stores. Fill the bowl with the candy canes and place the bowl in the center of a table. Place the stocking on the other end of the table - place a cup inside to keep the stocking open. Give each person a chopstick.

Each player must place the chopstick in their mouth, on the start of go players must place their hands behind their back and try and hook as many candy canes on their chopsticks as they can and transfer them to the stocking.  Give each player one minute.  The player who gets the most candy canes in the stocking wins!  All players get to keep the candy canes they capture so make sure you get enough! 

MARSHMALLOW MOUTH



It's SOO easy to make these marshmallow slingers.  
You will need:
  • paper cups
  • balloons
  • bowls
  • mini marshmallows
Tie the opening of a balloon, then cut off the end.  Cut the bottom out of a paper cup and wrap the balloon around the bottom to replace it.  

To play the game have players divide into pairs. Give one player from each team a marshmallow slinger and a bowl full of mini marshmallows.  Across the table the other player waiting with their hands behind their back. The first player to shoot five marshmallows into their teammates mouths wins!

JINGLE BALL SHAKE




This is a hilarious game. You will need:

  • empty tissue boxes
  • jingle bells
  • ribbon

  1. Tie an empty tissue box around the player's backside (pole 2 holes on opposite ends of the bottom and weave the ribbon through it)
  2. Place 10 little jingle bells in the box.
  3. Start the music.
  4. The player has one minute to dance out as many of the bells from the box as they can. 

 Christmas Bingo


Our family loves to play bingo. Here are the free printable bingo  cards from Christmasbingo (crazylittleprojects.com)
Make sure you have some prizes for the winners.

CHRISTMAS CHARADES gamE





DRAW A SNOWMAN



This game is so fun and you will definitely be surprised how these come out. You will need:
  • Paper Plates
  • Markers ~ pencils and pens DON’T work well for this game.

How to Play:

The host tells the players to place their paper plates on their heads. Holding the plate in one hand and the marker in the other hand.  

Once everyone is ready with their plates on their heads, the host will give a series of instructions:

Draw a line for the ground/snow.
  1. Draw a large snowball for the base of your snowman.
  2. Create a medium-sized snowball on the top of the first one.
  3. Cap your snowman with a small snowball for the head.
  4. Draw a carrot nose.
  5. Now add 2 eyes and a mouth with dots of coal.
  6. Draw a scarf to keep your snowman warm.
  7. Add 2 stick arms. 
  8. And finally, finish your snowman by drawing a top hat on your snowman’s head.

Now that the drawings are complete, place all the snowmen on the table to admire.  If you want to make it a competition, have someone that didn't play pick the best snowman.


PLASTIC WRAP GAME



This game is a hit at any party. My family had the best time playing this game.

Watch this video to show you how.  The Saran Wrap Ball Christmas Party Game Challenge (Original) - YouTube


CHRISTMAS CUP GAME

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=568540088414525

This is the game we are playing this year. It's super easy and all you need is some paper or plastic cups, candy, small toys and even some cash. Also, I'm going to have a few things that a silly, for instance, I'm going to have a pair of underwear under one of the cups and they will have to wear it on their heads throughout the game.

After placing them under the cups in secret, have someone shuffle the cups so not even you know which cup has what under them.

Next, one by one everybody will get a turn to try their luck to get gifts. 


Does your family play games during the holidays? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Happy holidays!

Fall Date Ideas

***UPDATED 9/2/23***


Jay and I try and take time to do something fun every week, whether be a lunch date, hike in the park, or shopping at Goodwill. Yes, I said Goodwill, we both like finding a good deal. When it comes to the Fall season, there can be some unique things to do. Here are a few of our favorite things to do and we hope you can take time with your loved one to reconnect and just have fun together. 

  • The Pumpkin Patch - Typically we go to the pumpkin patch with our grandson but we have gone alone and had a great time. We have a favorite place called Snead's Farm and it's an awesome place to hang out. Find your favorite pumpkin patch. 

  • Take a Drive to the Mountains - this is always a favorite thing to do for Jay and myself. Looking at the changing leaves is just a beautiful sight. You can't say there's no God when you look at His handiwork in creation.
    Skyline Drive

  • Go for a Hike - This is a great time to talk and get some exercise. Sometimes it's hard to get into some good conversations when you are watching kids or your job just takes it out of you. Jay and I have had some interesting chats on our hikes plus its gorgeous scenery. We also have wonderful places to hike in our neck of the woods. Do you have a favorite hiking place?
    Wilderness Presidential Resort


  • Visit Downtown - This is a great place to go for a walk and look at the decorations, there are some quaint shops and restaurants downtown. You can find some gems in your home downtown. We'd love to know where your favorite downtown is located.
Rising Sun Tavern Fredericksburg, VA 
  • Watch a Movie at Home - When watching a movie at home, I try and have all the fun things that go along with it, such as dollar store boxed candy and lots of popcorn along with our favorite drinks. October is a great time to watch horror flicks if you dare. It's not a horror film but Sleepy Hollow is a favorite of ours. Another plus to watching movies at home, you can cuddle up with each other. Who doesn't like cuddling?

  • Play a Game - We found this cool game called Farkle which is a dice game. My husband is a little competitive and he likes this game because you keep score. I actually bought it at the Dollar Tree but if you can't find it there, you can find it on Amazon. It's a hoot of a game! Do you have a favorite game you like to play?

  • Apple Picking - we have not done this date yet and I think we will this year. I love apples and Jay's favorite pie is apple pie. Sounds like a plan! 
  • Build a Fire - We have been enjoying our firepit all year. This can be a nice time to sip on a beer, wine, or something hot and maybe make some s'mores. I love Pumpkin Spice anything and a hot PS tea in my Tervis sure hits the spot. Our chairs are far apart in our firepit area, maybe we should sit closer. What do you think? 

We hope you enjoyed this week's blog post. Please share with us the fun dates you have during the autumnal season. Keep the spark alive!

Stay safe and healthy,

Kelly

 Our equipment works okay but we'd like to have a better camera and a microphone. With the TIP JAR we can eventually purchase these items.  If you enjoy our videos and you'd like to help us out, even if it's a dollar, we would be so excited.  We have yet to decide the type of camera we would like to have, so we will let you know when we have figured it out. We really aren't all that savvy when it comes to all this technical stuff but we are willing to try. Can't fault a girl for trying. ;) UPDATE: We now have lighting and a green screen to play with in our videos ---
