The holidays are such a joyous time, with family and friends coming together to celebrate. It’s wonderful to play games with the young ones, but why not add some variety? Kids love a bit of entertainment on Christmas Day, and we’ve got some fun games up our sleeves to occupy them while you host or just to create new traditions. Some of these games are old favorites with a Christmas twist, but without further ado, here they are…
Christmas ABC Race Game
The Christmas ABC Race Game is a great game for kids to play on Christmas Day. It’s a simple race to see who can get from A to Z the fastest, but with a few festive twists.
Print out our ready-to-play game sheets and when you say “go,” everyone needs to race to jot down Christmas-themed words for each letter of the alphabet. The first one to Z is the winner!
This game is great for bigger groups of kids as it can help break the ice and get everyone interacting and having fun. It’s also a great way to teach kids about the alphabet and help them work on their memory skills.
Christmas Charades
Charades is a classic party game that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It’s a great way to get everyone involved in the festivities, and it’s sure to bring some laughs.
To play charades, you’ll need to divide into two teams. One player from each team will start by acting out a Christmas-themed word or phrase, without speaking. The other players on their team must try to guess what the word or phrase is. If they guess correctly, they score a point. The first team to reach 10 points wins!
Our Christmas Charades printable game has some festive activities to act out and it’s totally editable, so you can personalize the phrases.
Christmas Family Feud Edition
Family Feud isn’t only a TV show, it can also be a fun game to play around the holidays! Our printable Family Feud game is like a festive pop-quiz and can be a real conversation starter!
Each card has a bunch of questions on it with space for 3 answers, so you can write down your top 3 choices for whatever you think the answer may be. Once everyone has made their selections, the answer will be read out and the scores will be tallied. Whoever has the most points at the end of the game is deemed the winner.
