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.

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.
9. 
   

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!
