CHRISTMAS GAMES
Pin the red nose on Rudolph
Preparation: Draw Rudolph on a piece of poster board. Make red noses out of poster board. Put double-stick tape on the back of each.
Play just like pin the tail on the donkey. Blindfold player, spin him or her around a couple of times and pin the nose on Rudolph. The player who gets his nose nearest to where it belongs wins the game.
Blindman's Bluff
This is a very old game. One person is blindfolded and turned around three times. The other players poke and tap him but then jump away when he tries to catch them. If he catches someone, he must identify them by touch. If he can't, he has to be "it" for another round; if he can, the person he identified becomes "it".
Christmas Charades
Players divide into two groups, and one group leaves the room to come up with a Christmas word, phrase, book or movie to act out. The other team keeps guessing until they come up with the answer, then the teams switch positions.
Games to play in the car
Christmas word game
The first player says a word that has to do with Christmas. The next player has to think of a word that begins with the last letter of the first player's word. A word can only be used once. You are out when you can't think of any new words.
Example: 1 st player: Ornament, 2nd player: tree, 3rd player: elves
Car 25
Each player reads the license plates of passing cars, trying to find the numbers 1 through 25. Players should call out the numbers as they spot them. Only one player can use a plate. The player who reaches 25 first wins the game.
