HERSHEY KISS RELAY GAME
For this Christmas party game, divide your group into two teams and have two bowls of Hershey's kisses.
Give each team one set of oversized mittens or gloves. The first person in line runs to the bowl of kisses, and has
to unwrap the kiss while wearing the oversized mittens/gloves and pop the kiss into their mouth.
They run back, tag the next person in line, and exchange the mittens/gloves and the next person runs forward to
get a chocolate kiss. The winning team is the one in which all members have enjoyed a kiss first....
CHRISTMAS TREE WRAP
Make and decorate human Christmas trees.
Stuff to Play:
Green paper, Paper and real ornaments, Scissors and construction paper, Tape, Prize for the winners.
How to Play:
Group players into teams of 4. Each team selects someone to be the tree. Give each team paper and ornaments,
scissors and construction paper. Send a judge out of the room. Each team gets 5 minutes to decorate their tree.
Then the judge returns and decides who wins.
GIFT WRAP RACE
A Christmas game where you and your partner race to wrap a package first. The catch? You can only use one
hand each!
Stuff to Play
Boxes for each pair, Wrapping paper, Tape, Ribbon, Scissors
How to Play
Each pair races to wrap the box and tie the ribbon in a box around the box. The host should warn all the groups
that he/she will judge the winner based not only on speed but quality of wrapping. Have all groups start
wrapping at the same time. Each person should hold one arm behind their backs (no switching in the middle).
After everyone is done, the host can judge who wins.
REINDEER GAMES
A race to see who can create the best "reindeer" in a set amount of time.
Stuff to Play:
You will need the following items, in a paper bag, for each team: An unused pair of panty hose, 14-7" balloons, a
Red Gift Bow and two 10" lengths of Christmas ribbon
How to Play:
Teams have 5 minutes to make the most attractive "antlers" they create with balloons they blow up and stuff
into the legs of the panty hose which are worn on the head of a volunteer "reindeer", adding the red gift bow as
"Rudolf's" nose and tying the end of the "antlers" with the ribbon. Judges (spectators) vote for the most
attractive rack after time is called. Have your camera ready-the results are hilarious! Can also be done as a relay
race.
Before You Play
1) Cut off the tip of the toe of each pair of panty hose.
2) Next: cut out a 5 inch hole in the center of the tummy of the panty hose.
3) Place one pair of panty hose, a red gift bow, 14-7" balloons (uninflated) and two 10" lengths of Christmas
ribbon in a paper bag for each team.
4) Divide your group into equal size teams, (4 works good) and designate several "judges".
5) Give each team a bag with their supplies in it.
5) Instruct each team to appoint a volunteer to be the "reindeer". Have this person place the waist of the panty
hose over their head with their face in the 5" hole you have cut out.
6) On GO! Teams begin inflating their balloons and stuffing them in the open toe, and up the legs of the panty
hose to form "antlers". Team members should complete their creation by placing the red gift bow on the
volunteer "reindeer's" nose, close off the open toe with the 10" lengths of ribbon and "positioning" the antlers
for the most attractive look they can accomplish by manipulating the balloons.
7) After 5 minutes is up ask the "judges" to select the most attractive "rack"!

SANTAS BEARD RELAY RACE
Two teams race with Vaseline and cotton balls. The object is see how many cotton balls you can attach to your
face.
Stuff to Play:
Vaseline, cotton balls.
How to Play:
Make two or more teams. On one side of the room put a couple big bowls of cotton balls. Then have the players
line up while you put Vaseline all over your face (chin area etc). Make sure everyone has approximately the
same amount of Vaseline applied to keep things fair. The point of the game is to run to the other side of the
room stick your face in the bowl of cotton and then run back so the next person can go. The winning team is the
one who has the most cotton balls stuck to their faces in the least amount of time. At the end of the race award
3 points for the team that finished first and a point for each cotton ball stuck to a face.
PASS THE BOW
Another team game
Stuff to Play :
6 bows for each team
How to play:
Have the teams line up side by side, either sitting or standing next to each other (they could hold hands if they
wanted to). At one end of the line, place the six Christmas bows. With their LEFT hand have each player grab the
RIGHT wrist of the person to their RIGHT. On the mark, teams pass all the bows down and back again. If a bow
falls, players must retrieve while still holding on. The chain must not be broken!
TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
Group everyone into 12 teams, it can be random or have people count off from 1-12. Then group the teams
together and give each one a verse of the twelve days of Christmas. Each team was responsible for singing one
verse of the song. As you know, the song repeats itself, with a new verse added each time. The best part of all is
that as the teams sing their verse, they are to act out the verse (i.e. eight maids a milking, six geese a laying).
Each team should be allowed to gather together at first to determine what motions they plan to do. This is
really, really funny to watch.
SNOWBALL RACE
Stuff to Play:
Large marshmallows, spoons and mittens for each team.
How to Play:
Play this game as you would any relay race. Divide into teams. Each player takes turns putting on mittens and
balancing a "snowball" on a spoon while racing to the other side of the room. Drop the snowball into a bucket,
return to the team, pass the mittens and go to the back of the line. First team to complete the race wins
NATIVITY STORY - GIFT UNWRAP GAME
To play this RIGHT LEFT Christmas Game, form a circle and pass the
gift(s), (candy, prizes, etc.) to the RIGHT when you hear the word RIGHT and to the LEFT when you hear the
word LEFT. When the story is over, the gifts belong to whoever is holding them.
In those days, Caesar Augustus decided to count everyone LEFT living in the whole Roman world. Joseph LEFT,
taking Mary with him RIGHT to his town of Bethlehem to register.
When they arrived, there were no rooms LEFT. All of the inns in Bethlehem were RIGHT full. There was just
nowhere LEFT for them to stay. Finally, someone offered to let them stay RIGHT in their stable.
Mary was pregnant and while in Bethlehem the RIGHT time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a boy
RIGHT there. RIGHT there in a Bethlehem stable, the Savior of the world was born. Mary wrapped him with LEFT
over strips of cloth and laid him RIGHT in a manger.
Some shepherds who lived RIGHT near Bethlehem, were out at night RIGHT in their fields watching over their
sheep. RIGHT then, they saw a bRIGHT light. The light was so bRIGHT that they had to close their eyes. When
they opened them again, a beautiful angel was standing RIGHT in the sky RIGHT above them with his arms LEFT
opened wide. The shepherds looked RIGHT at each other and were LEFT feeling very afraid.
Then the angel spoke RIGHT to them. "Do not be afraid. I'm RIGHT here to bring you the good news LEFT for all
people. Today RIGHT in Bethlehem a baby has been born, He is the RIGHT one, the one that will save the world.
You will know the RIGHT baby because He will be LEFT wrapped in cloths, and laying RIGHT in a manger."
RIGHT then, a large group of angels appeared RIGHT there, and they said, "Glory to God, and peace be to all
people LEFT on the earth."
The shepherds were LEFT amazed and excited. They had to go RIGHT away to see this baby the angels were
talking about.
They LEFT as fast as they could, and soon found Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus RIGHT were they angels said they
would be. The shepherds fell RIGHT to their knees when they saw Jesus, and were LEFT filled with joy that they
had found the Savior. They stayed for a short time and then LEFT . As soon as they LEFT they began shouting
RIGHT in the streets and telling everyone LEFT in town about what they had seen.
RIGHT after Jesus was born, wise men traveling RIGHT on their camels noticed a very strange star RIGHT in the
sky. They knew that the RIGHT One who would save the world had been born.
RIGHT away King Herod got very worried. He assembled all of the important people LEFT in the area and asked
them where this baby had been born. The people replied, "RIGHT in Bethlehem."
RIGHT then King Herod called the wise men to meet with him RIGHT away. He asked them to go and find the
child RIGHT away. “RIGHT as soon as you find Him,” he said, “ tell me, so that I can go to Him RIGHT away and
worship Him."
After the wise men spoke to the King, they LEFT to find the baby. They didn't know RIGHT where the He was, but
followed the star LEFT in the east until it hung RIGHT over the place where Jesus was. When they found Jesus,
and they bowed RIGHT down and worshiped him.
RIGHT after that, they opened the gifts they had brought Jesus... gold, frankincense and myrrh. Then they LEFT
to find a place to sleep for the night.
That night the wise men all had the same dream RIGHT as they were sleeping. They were not to go RIGHT back
and tell King Herod where they had found Jesus. King Herod wanted to kill Jesus because he was jealous of Him.
So, the wise men LEFT for home another way so that Herod would not know the RIGHT direction they had come
from. They also decided RIGHT then that they would not tell King Herod anything about what they had seen.
When the wise men LEFT , an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Arise, take Jesus and Mary, and
run RIGHT to Egypt. Joseph got up RIGHT away and woke up Mary. She quickly picked Jesus RIGHT up and they
LEFT in the middle of the night for Egypt where they would be safe.
RIGHT after King Herod died an angel appeared again RIGHT away to Joseph and told him to go RIGHT to a place
called Nazareth. And that's RIGHT where Jesus grew up.
