Christmas Party Games for Kids

Christmas parties for children can be extremely joyous events. However, Christmas parties for kids can also go horribly awry if there are not enough party games or activities to keep these active youngsters occupied. Below are several Christmas party games for kids that you may find extremely useful:

Here we go a’caroling. Kids tend to really like this game, although sometimes it gets a little too loud for the adults who are present! To play this game, you will only need a pencil and a piece of paper for each kid. Have each kid write down the name of any Christmas carol that they like except for “Jingle Bells.” Now, you will have the kids write down 5 numbers between one and twenty. Next, you will randomly call out numbers. Anyone who has that number on their paper has to sing their carol. This means that you will probably have several kids singing several different carols at once. As you call out numbers, the kids cross out that number on their paper. Once you have called out all of anyone’s numbers, they need to stand up and sing the words to “Jingle Bells” while doing a little dance. The first one done gets a prize.

O, Christmas tree. for this game, you just need one sheet of green construction paper for each child. Each child holds the piece of construction paper behind their back. Without looking, they then should try to rip the paper into the shape of a Christmas tree. You can also have them add a few small red pieces of paper as ornaments to their trees, still behind their backs. Have everyone vote on which trees are the best looking.

Stocking Stuff Race. Another fun Christmas party game for kids is a stocking stuffers game. For this game, you will need one small stocking for each kid, as well as a large amount of small toys or candy. Bags of Piñata treats work well for this game, in particular. When you start the clock, each child fills their stocking with as much stuff as they can. At the end of 20 or 30 seconds, say “STOP.” Then, each child will give the bag that they filled to the person on their right.

With a little bit of planning and creativity, you can make sure that your kids’ Christmas party is a successful one.
