Whether your holiday party is an adult only office party or one for kids at the local community center, you will want to find a fun free Christmas party game or two. Games can be great mixers - getting people to work together and have a good time while doing it.
You can go on line and print out suitable games for your group. There are Christmas trivia games based on holiday songs, movies and kids TV specials. While on line look for cheap supplies.
One game, Right and Left, can be played by adults and kids 6 years old and up. Each guest is given a wrapped gift. The story of the Right and Left families is read aloud. Every time the word Right is spoken, everyone passes their gift to the right. When Left is said the gifts are handed to the left. When the story is finished everyone gets to keep the gift they are holding. The story can be found on line or you can make up your own story.
Another free party game is “Who am I?” This works best with adults and teens. As each guest arrives, a card with the name of a Christmas character (human, animal, plant or whatever) on it. Each person has to find out who or what she is by asking yes or no questions. The first one to guess his identity is the winner.
Pin the nose on the reindeer is a fun game for young and old. It will be hilarious when played by adults who have sampled a lot of Christmas cheer. Children can also play this game but the target, will of course, have to be lowered a bit for them.
Another game that can be played by all ages is musical chairs. Kids love this game. Jingle Bells or Santa Claus is Coming to Town would both be suitable songs.
Decorations can include wreaths, candles, colored lights and a lovely decorated tree which would add to the pleasure of your free Christmas party game ideas.
