Christmas Party Games Fun Ideas
Executive Summary about christmas party games by Gail Leino
After the cookies are baked and frozen; after the party goods are ordered off the internet; when the guest list has been made out and invitations are addressed and sent then the question arises: what Christmas party games are there to play?
That’s when the party planning gets tough! It might help to ask the guests ahead of time what sorts of games they like to play. The answer may be as simple as looking at the game shelf. A small gathering might be happy playing old games before the new ones are unwrapped. It’s a perfect occasion to get some more use out of favorite games that were gifts on Christmases past.
Another possibility would be to play games like BINGO which allow for several players. With the use of a home printer several cards can be printed with the custom made BINGO words. Cards with the letters XMAS! or NOEL! Use green and red markers and printer ink for the occasion.
There’s a danger in overlooking the obvious. Simple outdoor play is a winter favorite. Snowy places offer many options for outdoor Christmas party games and hotter climates are pleasant enough for outdoor activities reserved for summer in other places.
Dice can be thrown on alternate turns and the corresponding ornament is turned without the other players seeing. The letters eventually spell out a Christmas message.

The Whole Crew and Aunt Sue Too – Make the Guest List
Be realistic about how many guest you can handle. If possible, it’s best to give guest at least three weeks notice. It’s All about the Food – Plan the Menu
Your budget, guest list and party time will help guide this step. Perhaps a formal dinner and invite guest to bring their favorite dessert. The only rule on party food is the time of the party. Evening parties can serve lighter to heavy hors d’oeuvres and desserts. Keep the bar drinks simple to avoid the added work of playing bar-tender and the extra expense of stocking the bar. Get the Party Started – Plan the Fun
Above all else your Christmas party should be fun! Plan fun activities to get the party started and keep it going.
- Christmas party games. Have all your tree decorations out and let your guest trim your tree.
- Christmas caroling. – Decorate cookies. Prepare a table with cookie icings and sprinkles and let your guest decorate the cookies. – Exchange gifts. Ya’ll Come – Send the Invitations
Now that the party plans are in place, it’s time to send out the invitations. Again the watch cry is…budget!
Count Down – Final Steps
Shop for decor and party accessory items 2 weeks before. If you plan to order Christmas party games or other party supplies online, shop three to four weeks before the party.
Buy Food items and beverages the night before the party. Also, prepare any food that can be prepared ahead of time the night before. This will give you time to decorate, prepare food and get ready for your guest.
There you have it, plans for a event full of Christmas party games and merriment!
Have fun and remember, no matter what the budget or theme your guest will appreciate the time spent sharing the season’s joys with family and friends Above all else, keep it fun and you can’t go wrong!
