Christmas Family Games

Christmas Party Games for children

• Make a snowman. Use a roll of toilet paper to wrap up an adult as quickly as possible so nothing is showing. Stick on a hat, scarf and gloves to finish off the look.
• Present wrap. Choose some unusually shaped objects that children have to wrap up- either as quick as possible or do the best job with what they have.
• 1 minute challenge – Everyone grab a Christmas Stocking. Give them 60 seconds to run around and fill it with items of your choosing in scavenger hunt style!! Ideas such as; Red object (s)/ something sparkly/ something round/ something spiky

• What is missing? Place Christmas objects on a table, ask everyone to close their eyes and then take one away – the children then need to try to guess which item is missing! Make it easier or harder by adding or reducing the number of items you use!
• Pass the Parcel
• Musical Statues or Musical Chairs – with Christmas music obviously!
• Santa Says…. Simon says but with a seasonal twist!
• Charades!

 

Christmas Day Games – Taskmaster style!  

If you watch Taskmaster you’ll know the rules already but if not , here is a brief overview of how to play the Mumbler version of Christmas Day Taskmaster!

Throughout Christmas day, one person (or the ‘Taskmaster’) will choose tasks for everyone else to complete. If there are 5 of you, 1 person will be the Taskmaster and decide who wins each task, and the other 4 will be players! All the tasks are family friendly and aimed at 4yrs+ so everyone can join in!

At the end of Christmas day the winner is the player with the most points! You could even decide on a prize…but I’ll leave that up to you!

 

The tasks – You can pick as many of the tasks as you want to and do them in any order!

Task 1 – Make the best Christmas decoration from used wrapping paper. You have 10 minutes.

Task 2 – Make and wear the fanciest Christmas hat, fanciest wins.

Task 3 – With your hands behind your back, put something on your head. Fastest wins.

Task 4 – Take turns to say as many Christmas words as you can starting with the letter T. If you can’t think of any words, you’re out.

Task 6 – Draw the best picture of a snowman with your eyes closed – you have 1 minute!

Task 7 – Make up your own Christmas song!
