Christmas Party Games To Enjoy On This Special Day

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 joys of Christmas.

If you have got a giant 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 ahead. As everyone goes about their business of getting food, chatting with others and so on, the room will look extraordinarily festive with everyone wearing their Santa hats.

However, the object of this game is to not have 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 will be one individual so wrapped up in a conversation or the buffet table, they forget to take off their hat and should be left the game’s loser. This is a game that may be played again and again as you head forward with the day’s festivities.

One fun memory game that kids especially like is to make everyone give serious 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 gift room ) have everyone try and remember every single gift everyone got. Include stockings and any food gifts.

Tell folks they just have to remember the things that were opened that day, not any gifts they received and opened before Christmas day. This may be a fun game that is especially popular with children because they adore to relive the gift magic. In addition, if they were so submerged with their own gifts they didn’t notice anyone else’s, this is a good chance for them to teach themselves about what everyone got that day.

If you want a game to keep everyone 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 many items in the socks. Confirm matching items are in each sock. This stuff should be related to Christmas in some way.

You might include a small ornament, scotch tape, a pinecone, a Hershey’s kiss, and the like. Have each person feel the socks ( having 2 socks just makes the game go faster, but you can play with just one sock ), and write down their guesses about what’s in the socks. Be sure to tell everybody how many items are in each sock. The winner gets, you got it…one of the socks!

If you have some 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 people, if they need ) to sing a Christmas carol. Tell them to have a large amount of fun with the song, and even add a Santa hat or other dress-up items if they wish.

The winners can take home a CD of Christmas music. This game is especially fun if just the kids want to perform and be judged by the adults, or if, inversely, the adults perform, and are judged by the children.
