Let us not forget why we
celebrate Christmas on the 25th day of December. While we give gifts and
pleasure in our kids delight and cook dinner we often overlook "the reason
for the season", the birth of God's son, Jesus Christ.
What are the best
Christmas party games? This is difficult to answer because one particular party
game seen as fun in the eye of some folk but may not be seen that way by
others. Because of this we find ourselves in a catch 22 situation. So what do
you do? Are you inviting people for Christmas who you know will like your
selection of party games, or do you prefer those company of, but won't like
your selection of party games. Do you dismiss the idea of having any Christmas
party games at all? Come on this is the season of goodwill; it is a time for
festive cheer and fun.
Christmas is a time for
happy gatherings, there will be no happy gathering if any kill joy's sit around
the Christmas dinner table, or in front of an open log fire to play games.
Best Christmas party games
you will find are played at office Christmas parties, Children's Christmas
Parties, and at family celebrations because they add fun and spread the
Christmas Spirit! Let the fun begin with the dreaded word game.
This game will have you
give each guest on arrival a small token. Christmas theme word will now be
announced to all. Tell them all that they must not utter this word at all
during the Christmas occasion you celebrate. Words like "tree" or
"holly" are fine examples. They take that person's token at any time
if a guest overhears another guest utter this specific word. The guest with the
most tokens at the specific designated time at the end of the game wins a
special gift.
Christmas Talent Contest!
Avoid volunteers for this
particular game if possible, as more often if they cannot sing and not do
embarrass easy. We want fun right, and if at someone else's expense then so be
it (in a nice way). It's more fun to watch the footwork of those who believe
they have feet like Micheal Flatly, or hearing the voices like those of that a
wailing banshee. Let everyone showcase their talent by singing or dancing.
Contest winner tags should be "Best Dancer" "Best Singer"
"Worst vocalist" "Most Funny" "Most Unique" where
this game guarantees the air to fill with laughter.
Best Christmas party games
are the ones people can join with but remember that Christmas celebrations
should cater for all age groups so organize for the young and old.
Pass the Bows is another popular
Christmas game.
Team up your guest's for
this game. In this game, all participants of each side should hold hands while
passing bows along a line. Hands must not unlock at any time while passing
bows.
The group should be
divided into teams of 6 to 10 people and have team's line up side by side, either
standing or sitting next to each other. At one end of the line place a number
of Christmas bows while at the other end of the line place a bowl /bucket for
bows to be placed. Now prompt each player to hold the right wrist of the person
to their right. Christmas cracker can be used to bang and start the game; both
teams must now pass bows down to one end and place them in the bowl or bucket.
Note: If a bow is dropped,
it can only be retrieved while the wrist of a team member is still joined, but
if the chain breaks, all the bows currently being passed must move back to the
beginning of the line. (Either the front - initial starting point or the
bowl/bucket - the half way point.) Not to worry if you have no bows, I am sure
you can find others as a substitute.
Christmas Memory Game
Gather together around 10
to 20 small Christmas items and place on a tray. For example, bells, Christmas
stocking, Christmas tinsel, bows, Gift labels, candles, Christmas lights,
nutcracker, Christmas video, etc...
Set the tray down and
allow players to study it. The hide the tray contents by covering it with a
cloth. Now give the players pencil and a paper and have them write down as many
of the items that they can remember. The one with the most correct items
written down wins. Why not fill the tray with treats like cake, cookies, tubbed
jellies or assorted types of candy. The winner of the game gets to take home of
the treats. This fun game becomes more serious for the participants purely
because of this. Well wouldn't you want to take home a bag of yummies.
Providing everyone with a
Christmas hat will kick start the festive spirit. It will have everyone excite
themselves even more, not only will this add "moving color" to the
room. Listen to the laughter as each person puts on their hat. Paper hats are
inexpensive. Kill two birds with one stone and buy a Christmas cracker which
contains hats. Make sure that the Christmas tree or lighted candles or any type
of breakables are moved out of the way if there are any lively games to be played.
There are games you can play before sitting down
to feast, however normally
folk are famished and just want to get stuck into the turkey, so consider
playing the best Christmas games after everyone has eaten and had time to
digest their food.
Play the "guess
me" game if you want to keep your guests occupied till dinner is served.
This will include long heavy socks. Place Christmas items in the socks. You may
stuff the socks with a small ornament, roll of tape, a fir cone etc. Have each
person to feel the contents of the sock and write down their guesses. The
winner gets one of the socks if guessed. This is why this game is best played
with two socks so that they'll get a pair for the prize.
Aside from playing the
best Christmas games, remember that music is the most ideal to get everyone in
the mood.
You must keep music
lively; avoid slow and somber sounds as this can dampen a person's spirits, who
would want that at this particular time may have something to feel saddened
over. Your quest is to help this person, "not to forget," but enjoy
