A Holiday Get Together That's All Fun and Games

Christmas Party Game Ideas | Live Love in the Home



Who said that your traditional Christmas gathering has to be just like last year.  It's time to switch things up a bit and create some new and fun traditions.  How about a game or two?  You can have fun all while enjoying time with family and friends!

Here are some games you can play to mix it up a bit:

Stocking Stuffer

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Two Stockings, hung somewhere
Two bags of the larger marshmallows
Small plastic spoons

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO

Divide into two teams and give each person a spoon.  Also, it's best to have the marshmallows dumped into two separate bowls, one for each group.  Have each group line up behind the bowls.  When the game starts, each person on the team will race to get a marshmallow on their spoon, without using his/her hands) and carry it down to the stocking for their given team.  The team who gets all their marshmallows into the stocking first, wins!  P.s. if one falls off while you're heading to the stocking, you have to pick it up and go back to the bowl.



Pin the Red Nose on Rudolph

There isn't much to explain with this one.  It's just like the donkey game, only you use Rudolph.  The same rules apply.

Find the Candy Canes

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

A Box of Candy canes

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO

This game is for the kids - or the adults can join in too!  It's just like an egg hunt, only you're using candy canes!  This game is great indoors!

Guess the Gift

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Multiple wrapped gifts - all different shapes and sizes.  (They don't even need to be gifts to giveaway, unless you are playing for prizes).  If you are just playing for fun, you can use any random things you have around the house.  If you are playing for prizes, make sure you are buying or selecting different shaped and sized items, so it's a bit harder to guess!

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO

This one is also pretty simple.  Each person (draw numbers to choose the order if needed) will have multiple turns to guess.  You start with a gift, and person number one.  They have a turn to guess and if they are right, they get to open the gift.  If they are wrong, it goes on to the next person.  The person following the person who won, gets to start the next gift (for example, if person 8 wins, then person 9 gets to start guessing on the next gift that goes around).

Funny Gift Exchange

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

Before the gathering, be sure to ask everyone to purchase a COMICAL gift.  Also be sure to set a price limit.

HERE'S WHAT YOU DO

Everyone will bring their gift to the party.  You will also have everyone draw a number, after randomly assigning a number to each gift.  Then, each person will have to open and reveal the gift they get.  It's fun, but can sometimes cause embarrassment, so use this game with caution :)
