Throw the Ultimate Fun Fest With Holiday Party Games
These days there are Holiday Party Games available to match everyone's tastes and desired level of activity. When planning the party be sure to get prizes for the winners of the Holiday Party Games. These can range from seriously nice to funny prizes. The guests will enjoy them all. Have games supplies ready to go, the best way to dampen a party mood is to make the guests wait while the host tries to quickly gather up pencils and paper or whatever game supplies are needed. With some advance planning the game supplies can be in holiday colors or even have small decoration attached. Consider some of the following Holiday Party Games. Remember, most or all can be tailored to the ages and interests of the guests.
Name That Christmas Carol is one of the best Holiday Party Games to start with. Get a CD of Christmas carols and play the first few notes of a carol then stop the CD. Let the guests shout out the name of the song. Each player who guesses correctly gets a point. If no one gets it right, start from the beginning of the carol and play it again; going a few notes farther each time until someone or several people shout out the right answer. The guests will be active and have a great time with this game.
Christmas movie Trivia is a great holiday party game because like the carol game everyone will be able to join in. Before the party make a list of trivia questions about Christmas movies both classic and recent. Make some very easy and others really hard. Encourage the guests to play individually or break them up into teams.
Christmas History Trivia is another in a long line of fun holiday party games. This time make a list of Christmas trivia in general. Questions could include, "Who is the real person that Santa Claus is based on?" or "Who started the practice of putting Christmas tree in homes?" Or "What is the history of the candy cane." Not only will the guests enjoy themselves, they will very likely learn some things about Christmas!
"Santa's Reindeer" is a version of a Victorian era parlor game, the Preacher's Cat. The idea is to describe Santa's reindeer using every letter of the alphabet. First player says something like, "Santa's reindeer is an Adorable reindeer." Second person says something like, "Santa's reindeer is a Bogus reindeer." The third person now has to use a word that starts with a C to describe Santa's reindeer. Each person uses the next letter of the alphabet to describe Santa's reindeer. Each player has ten second to come up with a word to describe Santa's reindeer. Those unable to do this are out and the group gets smaller until only one player (the winner) is left.
