Christmas Card Couples This is a great icebreaker – especially when some of your guests aren’t acquainted with each other. Here’s how it works: • Gather up old Christmas cards and cut each illustrated cover in half until you have as many card halves as guests. • Mix the halves up in a basket and keep the basket by the front door or near the drinks. • Have each guest select a card-half from the basket. • Armed with their card, they’ll ask each person they meet to see their card-half until they finally locate their “other half.” • Once everyone has arrived, announce that the holders of the first three cards to get matched up will win a small prize. North Pole Two-by-Two A perfect ice-breaker for all ages, Two-by-Two is a loud game that will get everyone laughing. The rules are simple enough for even the youngest guest to understand: • Everyone stands in two parallel lines facing each other. • Give each person in one line a piece of paper with a “North Pole” animal on it. • Give matching pieces of paper to each person in the opposite line. • After giving everyone a few minutes to think, say “go!” Everyone acts like their assigned animal – flapping their wings, stomping their hooves, waddling like a penguin – and tries to find their “mate” on the opposite side of the room. The main rule to this game is no talking! Make a Reindeer Rack Divide your guests into equal teams and give each a bag with these items: • One unused pair of pantyhose with a five-inch hole cut in the tummy panel and both feet cut off • Red ribbon • Red bow • 14 small, long-shaped balloons Then proceed with the game as follows: • Put five minutes on the clock. • Ask one member of each team to be the “reindeer.” That person puts the pantyhose on her head with her face showing through the hole. • The team blows the balloons up and slips them through the open end of the pantyhose until they resemble antlers. • Close the hole with the ribbon and decorate the “antlers.” • Stick the red bow to the person’s nose for a Rudolph effect. • The team that makes the best antlers wins. Right and Left Gift Game This game requires some preparation, but it’s a crowd-pleaser for parties at which guests bring a “white elephant” gift. Write a story that’s a few minutes long and contains the words “left” and “right” many times.

For example: Mr. Right said his left hand was hurting. “Your right hand?” said Mrs. “No, my left hand,” said Mr. As the story is read: • Participants stand in a circle, each holding a small wrapped gift – either small gifts that each person has brought or wrapped party favors. • As the host reads the story, each time the words “right” and “left” are read, the players pass the gift they are holding in that direction. • When the story is done, the player gets to keep the gift he or she is holding. Fast Unwrap Game For this game you’ll need: • One prize wrapped in many layers of gift wrap or newspaper • A Santa or elf hat • A pair of big, bulky gloves or oven mitts • One die; or two dice if there are a lot of people Here’s how it works: • Set the prize in the center of the room and ask participants to gather around it. • If the first person rolls anything but a six, she passes the die to the person on her left. If she rolls a six, she puts on the hat and gloves and begins opening the prize one layer at a time. • The next person who rolls a six takes the hat and gloves and continues unwrapping. • The person who unwraps the last layer keeps the prize. Games for Children Christmas games for children are best if they’re short and non-competitive. If you’re playing a “Secret Santa” game allowing the children to swap the gifts often leads to trouble, so it’s a good idea to have each child keep the gift he or she has picked. Christmas games that are adaptations of games that children are familiar with can be particularly successful. Secret Santa • Ask each guest to bring a small, wrapped gift and place it on a table at the party. • Each child pulls a number out of a hat until everyone has a number. • The child with No. 1 is allowed to choose any of the gifts on the table. 2 selects a gift. • This goes on until all the guests have received a gift. Games for Adults Adult Christmas party games can be longer and more complicated than those for kids. It’s a good idea to give the adults time to socialize and warm up before the games begin to ensure that everyone participates. Gift Swap This version of the Secret Santa game has a twist at the end. After the first person has chosen a gift and unwrapped it, the next guest chooses and unwraps a gift. The second person then keeps her gift or chooses to swap gifts with the first gift-holder. Each guest chooses a gift and decides which person to swap with until all guests have a gift have had a chance to swap. At the end of the game, number one can choose to swap with any of the other guests. Christmas Movie Trivia Write up a series of questions about popular Christmas movies and invite your guests to try to answer them. A sample question might be: The title role in “Elf” is played by: a. Owen Wilson b. Will Ferrell c. Robin Williams The guest with the most correct answers wins. If your party is large, this game works well for teams. Are You Ready For Christmas?
