If you are in charge of a holiday party for children, you should consider searching on line for kids Christmas party games. There are dozens of web sites that offer free directions for many Christmas games.
One of the best games is "Pin the Nose on Rudolph". Basically it is a version of the perennial birthday party favorite "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". Kids especially the younger ones love this game. Buy cheap party supplies and decorations so you will have enough money for the kids’ Santa gift.
Kids 10 and over could have a lot of fun playing Christmas charades. Form teams of 8 or fewer kids. One child acts out the title of a well known Christmas song, movie or TV special.
Children have short attention spans so your party has to be fast moving. Don’t let your games go on too long. Have a variety of activities planned to keep everyone busy.
If the kids are 6 and above they could easily play and enjoy the Right/Left game. Each child is given a small gift. The kids sit in a circle and a story about the Right family is read aloud. Every time the word Right is said, the gifts are passed to the right and when left is mentioned the direction is changed.
When the story ends everyone gets to take home the gift he has in his hands. The Right/Left story can be found on the net or you can write your own version, just make sure you have the keywords right and left at least 6 times each in your story, more if the kids are older.
Your decorations should appeal to kids. Santa, reindeer, etc. all can reflect the kids Christmas party games that you have planned for the afternoon.
