Whether they're for Christmas parties or family games nights, these kids Christmas games are a whole load of fun for kids and adults.
Wrapping the Gift Race
Materials Needed:
- Small Christmas gift
- Thick mittens
- Scarf
- Hat
Instructions:
- Each kid have to wrap a small Christmas gift with thick mittens, a scarf and hat on (the fastest to do this is the winner).
Christmas Freeze Dance
Materials Needed:
- Christmas Music - Christmas carols
Instructions:
- Young children love the "freeze dance" which is often played in preschool and kindergarten. Only in this game, you create a Christmas freeze dance: here you play some Christmas music, let the children do a little dance, then turn the music off and the children must "freeze".
Penguin Race
Materials Needed:
Instructions:
- Divide the kids into two teams.
- The players at the start line should put a ball between their knees and waddle to a designated spot and back.
- Ask the next one in line does the same until all kids have had their turn.
- If the ball is dropped, they must return to start and begin waddling again. The team that finishes first wins.
Christmas Card Toss
Materials Needed:
- Bucket
- Christmas Cards
- Small Christmas Toys or ornaments
Instructions:
- Have you ever tried throwing Christmas cards into a bucket? It's quite difficult!
- This kids Christmas game can be very frustrating for little kids, too! For children up to six, gather together a selection of small Christmas toys or ornaments to throw, as well as a couple of Christmas cards.
- Tell the older kids they're not having it so easy - and include more cards or only cards if they feel up to the challenge!
