Christmas games for kids
Want to stock up on Christmas game ideas for kids? They can be used when organizing a children's party at home, at school or with friends. These holiday games are also great for family get-togethers when kids of all ages are looking for ways to have fun. So, get the kids together and get ready to have some fun!
What's in Santa's bag?
Snowball relay
You will need:
foam balls and spoons.
How to play:
Players are divided into teams. Each player places one marble on the spoon and must carry it from one end of the room to the other. The team that finishes first wins.
Parcel for you!
You will need:
gifts wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper. Important: Do not use tissue paper as it will tear too easily and children will quickly unpack the gift.
How to play.
Just like in the musical chairs game, this game requires you to use music to sound the signal. The signal tells you when to start passing gifts around. The person in whose hands the gift will be when the music is turned off must remove 5 layers of paper. The person who unrolls the last layer receives this gift.
Game variations.
For younger children, who may be less patient than older children, tuck small gifts under each layer of packaging. Thus, the game will go faster and enjoy it more.
Snowballs
You will need:
large basket, 5 crumpled paper balls, small prize
How to play.
Children line up and throw their paper snowballs into the basket. Vary the distance from the basket depending on the age of the child. The child who throws the most snowballs into the basket wins. If you have a large number of children, play in teams. Use baskets for each team and give 3 snowballs per person. The team with the most snowballs in the basket wins.
Alternative.
Instead of a basket, you can put a figure of a snowman made of cardboard (invite the children to dress up and decorate it as they wish). Cut a hole in your tummy and stick it against the wall as a target.
bell thief
You will need:
a large space, a chair, a set of bells, a blindfold (a scarf, for example)
How to play.
Children sit in a circle. A chair is placed in the center of the circle, and a bunch of bells are placed under it. The host is chosen – Santa. He sits down on a chair blindfolded. After that, gestures select the one who will be the thief. He must try to steal the bells without Santa hearing him.If Santa hears a noise, he should try to point out the thief before he returns to his seat. If the thief has successfully completed the task, Santa is spun in a chair and a new thief is chosen. If the thief is caught, he becomes the new Santa, and the previous one sits in a circle.
Christmas tree backwards
You will need:
piece of green paper for each player
How to play.
Give each player a piece of green paper and ask them to tear it up in the shape of a Christmas tree while holding it behind their back. Compare the resulting trees and announce the winner.
dream gift
You will need:
piece of paper and pencil for each player
How to play.
Give each child a piece of paper and ask them to write (or draw) on it the gift of their dreams. Put all the papers in Santa's hat and shake. Then pull out each sheet in turn, read the desire aloud and try to match it with the person who described it. It will be extremely interesting to see how well everyone knows each other. And you may also be surprised at the desires of your children.
Attach the nose to the snowman
You will need:
a large piece of white paper, a compass or something round, a nose cut out of orange paper, a black marker, sticky tape or 2-sided tape.
How to play.
Draw a big snowman on paper and put a small black cross where his nose should be. Cut out a nose from orange paper and attach a large piece of sticky tape to it. Now blindfold your child, spin him around and ask him to stick his nose in place. Have fun from the heart!
Christmas puzzles
You will need:
10-20 postcards, scissors.
How to play.
Cut each card into 3 or 4 pieces using straight lines. Mix them up and lay them out on a flat surface. Let the child collect the drawings!
Options.
You can solve puzzles for speed or even in teams. You can also increase the degree of difficulty by cutting the pictures into smaller pieces!
What's in the stocking?
You will need:
a small Christmas stocking (or perhaps a bright red sock), a small number of miscellaneous small items, ribbon.
How to play.
Tie a ribbon or string around the hole in your stocking to make sure no one peeks in. Give everyone a piece of paper and, as you pass the bag around, ask the children to write down all the objects they can identify by touch. The person who guesses the most objects wins.
