Children's Christmas Party Games

If you find yourself planning a child's Christmas party you might be looking for some ideas for games they can play. Here are a few Christmas games for children.

Pin the nose on Santa or Rudolph, Have a picture of Santa or Rudolph and hang it on the wall. Make some red noses and attach a piece of tape t the back of each one. Blindfold the child and spin them around a few times. Now have them try to place the nose in the correct place on Santa's or Rudolph's face. The kids will get a kick out of where all the noses end up. Give a prize to the one that gets it the closest.

Musical chairs ,have all the children sit in chairs arranged in a group. When the music begins have them walk around the chairs. You remove one of the chairs. Now stop the music and tell all the children to sit down one per seat. The one left standing is out. Keep going until there is only one child remaining.

Guess who, in this kids Christmas party game the children are given clues to a Christmas character and they have to guess who it might be. An example would be I have a red nose, I have a song all about me, I am part of a group of eight, the answer would be Rudolph. This can be done with Santa, Frosty, or any other favorite Christmas character.

Santa Says, this is played like Simon says. Have the children line up and give them commands such as Santa says to hop on one foot, Santa says to touch your nose, Santa says to sing Jingle Bells. Then throw in a few to trick them such as touch your toes. The ones that touch their toes are out because Santa didn't say to.

Twenty Questions Christmas style, think of an object or item related to Christmas. Now have the children take turns asking questions to try to figure out what you are thinking of. You could have each child take a turn thinking of something. This is a very simple but entertaining children's Christmas party game.

Christmas Word Search, make up a word search puzzle and hide several Christmas related words throughout. Have the children try to find as many as they can in a certain amount of time .The child with the most words found wins a prize.

Unscramble The Words, Make a worksheet with different Christmas words all mixed up. Have the children try to figure out the words in a certain amount of time. Give prizes to the ones that get the most words right.

Charades, have the children act out their favorite Christmas carol, but the can not talk at all while doing it. This could be a very entertaining children's Christmas party game.

Hot Christmas package, this game is played just like Hot Potato. Have the children sit around in a circle and play some Christmas music. Pass around a present and when the music stops the child left holding the gift gets to keep it. As a child gets a gift they are out of the circle. Continue until every child has a gift of their own.

These children's Christmas games would be a great addition to their next party. Make sure to have enough prizes so that no one is left out. Remember when planning children's Christmas party games to keep them simple and fun.
