Christmas Games

Christmas Song Picture Game
To play this game, you can print the picture sheet right off this site. Robins says to give people a sheet of blank paper and a pencil to write their answers on, then give them 5 minutes to figure out as many as possible. They can not talk to each other or copy. She usually gives prizes to the top two or three winner and a cassette of Christmas songs to the person with the worst score.

Back to Back Game

Two people sit back to back. One person is given an object, e.g. a kitchen whisk or a small ornament, and the other given paper and pencil. Without revealing what the object is, the person with the object has to describe to the person drawing it what they have to draw. i.e. draw an oblong at the top left hand corner. Now draw a straight line diagonally across the page etc etc
What the final picture ends up like will depend entirely on how well the person describes and how the other person interprets the instructions! Often hilarious results!

Candy Kiss Game
This is a relay.Divide into two teams.Have a bowl of Hershey's Candy kisses on a table with a pair of mittens slightly larger than the players need.Line the teams up about 10-15 feet away from the table.Each team sends a player down, they put on the mittens, take a candy kiss out of the bowl and unwrap it with the large mittens.After unwrapping they have to pop it into their mouth and go back to tag the next player in line.First team to all get a kiss, wins.If you play this with adult couples, after they get their candy kiss, they return to the line to get their couple kiss instead of a tag.
It's love and sweetness all in one.
Christmas Catwalk
Have three teams of three people. Give each team one-two full rolls of wrapping paper, scissors, and wrapping tape. On your command, all teams start to make an outfit within 15 minutes. Whether it is a dress or a suit, or whatever? It is a blast to see them put these outfits together. ?At the end of the time limit, the models wearing the wrapping paper walk though the room with some kind of back-ground music playing, and if there is a P.A. system available, a person can say something about what the models are wearing. The winner can be judged by judges or simply by the volume of the applause.
Jigsaw Puzzle Race
Get two or three really big gift bags that have the same design on them (Santa face, snow scene, or some other easily recognizable image). Cut them up into about 15 pieces of various shapes and sizes. Divide your group into two or three teams and give each team the pieces to one of the bags. Have the teams put the "puzzle" together. The first team to finish wins the game.
Cotton Beard Game
I have a girl scout troop and we are having a party. We are going to make two or more teams, on one side of the room put a couple big bowls of cotton balls. Then have the girls line up while we put lotion all over their chin. The point of the game is to run to the other side of the room, stick your face in the bowl of cotton and then run back so the next person can go. The winning team is the one who has the most cotton balls in the least amount of time.

Reindeer Antler Game
Make 2-4 teams.
Hand each team one pair of pantythose -- avoid support types that are too tight.
Also hand out one balloon to each team player. If the teams are small give 2 balloons per person (each team should have about 8 balloons).
When you say "go", the teams race to make "reindeer antlers" by blowing up the balloons and stuffing them into the pantyhose.
Then one team member wears the "antlers" and sings the first verse of Jingle Bells.
The first one to do so wins for the team and even after one team wins, let everyone complete the task for a reindeer group picture.
