Christmas Games For the Entire Family

By Adriana Copaceanu

Playing Christmas games is a great way to brighten up your holiday. There is no reason to do the same old

thing when you could start great new traditions with your family this holiday season. Always be on the

lookout for new game ideas because they really do bring your family closer together.

One great Christmas game you can play involves buying Christmas poppers. These are wrapped cylinders that

contain a prize inside. Two people hold either side in their hands and tug with all their might. One of the

people will pull off the side with the prize and they are the winner.

Another great Christmas game you can play is Pin the Tail on the Reindeer. This is a spin on the old game Pin

the Tail on the Donkey. You will need to get a picture of a Reindeer or draw one. You will need to make

several tails for people to try and pin on the Reindeer.These can just have tape on the end if you're

uncomfortable using pins with younger family members.

Then, blindfold each person in turn. Spin the first person around three times, and see if they can pin the

tail on the Reindeer in the right spot. Each person gets a turn to try and pin the tail in the right spot.

Maybe the winner can get a Christmas cookie! This is definitely one of the best Christmas games.

You can actually make almost any game into a great Christmas game. If you have a favorite, adapt it to fit

the holiday theme. One great example is Christmas tag. One person can be "it". That person has to try and

chase all of the other people. In order to save yourself from being chosen, you have to say a Christmas word!

Some examples are Santa! Reindeer! Gifts! Thankfulness!

The possibilities are truly endless when you're considering different Christmas games. One activity that is

really fun is putting on a Christmas play. Make it into a game by seeing who can put on a play that has the

most Christmas spirit. Fine-tune it to make sure that it will be fun for your family.

Use your imagination when coming up with Christmas games. The best way to spread holiday cheer is to stick

together as a family. You'll have the most fun possible when you create new holiday traditions, as well as

sticking with your old ones.

Listen to some Christmas music to get into the holiday mood. And if you need some Christmas Gifts for Your

Husband come and see what husbands love.
