HOW TO PLAY THESE CHRISTMAS GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Christmas Pictionary
Pictionary is a game in which players sketch an object or a word and the rest of the group guesses what it is. Set a timer and divide into teams. After everyone has had a turn drawing and guessing, the team with the most correct guesses wins.
The first page of this printable includes 16 prompts:
- Snow
- Gingerbread
- Mittens
- Snowman
- Bells
- Angel
- Chimney
- Pinecone
- Garland
- Nutcracker
- Star
- Elves
- Northpole
- Gift
- Santa Clause
- Fruitcake
There is also a blank Pictionary page that you use to create prompts of your own.
Christmas Charades
Print out the charades printable, cut them, fold them up and place them in any container with a wide opening.
This game can be played with as few as two players. If you have more than two players, you can split the group up into two teams that will compete against each other.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Choose a player to start the game.
- The player chooses a Christmas-related topic to act out without speaking.
- The player then pantomimes the word or phrase on the slip of paper to the other players. (You may want to consider using a timer and allowing between 30-60 seconds to act out the movie title. If time runs out and the Christmas-related topic has not been correctly guessed, you can either return the Christmas-related topic to the container for another player to pull, or you can toss it in the used pile – at your discretion).
- The first person to guess the word or phrase gets a point.
- Players from each team take turns pantomiming for their teammates. The first team to guess the word or phrase gets a point.
- Keep track of the points earned by each player or team. The one with the most points at the end of the game wins.
There is also a blank Charades page that you use to create prompts of your own.
Christmas Alphabet Games
