For a group of partygoers who enjoy getting theatrical. Everyone brainstorms a ton of different events to react to seeing your favorite celebrity on the street, discovering a viper under your bed, biting into a sandwich only to find a finger then writes them down and pops them into a hat.

Participants will draw one of the events from the hat and react to it while everyone else attempts to guess what on Earth they're screaming or fainting about. Like Rock, Paper, Scissors but 10 million times more fun. A marvelous choice to play with a group including young children and adults: Everyone can join in!

Who can keep a straight face for the longest period of time when everyone is saying, "Ha," "Ho," and "Hee"? Break into pairs cousins, father and son, niece and aunt and see how well you know your family. You may not be able to play this quite as well as the Barden Bellas from Pitch Perfect , but a more low-key and off-key version of the game is just as fun.

Play until someone reaches the predetermined amount of points to win. Players are broken up into teams. Make up questions from a list of holiday-themed survey responses for everyone to answer. Each team is given an allotted time to write their three guesses on a piece of paper. The judge then reveals if their guesses were on the list and the value of their answers. The number one ranked survey response is worth 50 points, 40 if it's number two and so on.

Once all the questions have been answered, the points are tallied to determine the winner. First, you need a host to put random items in a stocking. Once it's stuffed, tie a ribbon or string around the top of the stocking so that no one can peek.

Then blindfold the participant, spin them in a circle, then have them try to pin the nose on Rudolph. Mark their attempt with their name. Give everyone a chance to pin the nose and whoever pins it most accurately, wins.

Hide a variety of plastic or stuffed elves and reindeer throughout the house. For the younger kids, make the items easy to find and give them a head start. Let them choose some Christmas games for the family to play and ask them which games they enjoy the most. Kid-friendly Christmas party games are an easy and entertaining way to create interactive fun at your Christmas party.

Christmas party games for kids should be simple, appropriate and not as competitive as adult games. When planning your party, follow these tips to keep the kids entertained:. Make sure that you plan a game that includes everyone so that no one feels left out at your party. If there is a wide age range, feel free to modify the rules to apply to the younger kids so they can engage in the game as well.

Avoid confusion and make sure that you provide a simple explanation of the game to the group. That way everyone is on the same page. The kids will most likely arrive at your party full of energy. Make sure you have cleaning supplies on standby at your kid-friendly Christmas party.

No matter what plans you have for the party, you can expect a mess when kids are together. Keep paper towels and wipes on hand to avoid injuries or an overwhelming clean up at the end.

Prizes and gifts are perfect for the giving spirit of the holidays. Provide prizes to the winners and small gifts to all who participated so that no one leaves the party disappointed. With Christmas games, family members can bond together and learn more about teamwork. When you get the whole family involved, just make sure everyone is on the same page and understands how to play the games together. Family Christmas parties are some of the most memorable and enjoyable parties of the year.

If someone gets it right, say, "Yes, that would be in my perfect world. Continue around the circle until everyone figures it out. This tried-and-true party game can be as simple or as complicated as you make it. Have everyone write down concepts, movies, people, shows, and more to act out and divide into teams. One person will act out something drawn from the assortment while their team members guess what it is.

When time is up, switch teams and repeat. Add time limits, scoring systems, silence rules, and more as desired. Pick one person to go first. That person will think of an item, animal, movie, public figure, etc.

Everyone else will ask yes or no questions about what or who they are; they have 20 chances to guess, or the other person wins. Whoever guesses correctly can win a prize, or be the next to answer questions. Have everyone sit or stand in a circle. Each person should select a hand motion or leg motion, if you're standing. Go around the circle and have everyone present their motion: Memorize these.

Have everyone begin clapping or stomping a steady rhythm and pick one person to start: They will do their motion, and then the motion of someone else in the circle. This next person will do their own motion, then the motion of a third person, who will do the same. There are no passbacks and no hesitations. Whoever messes up first is out; continue indefinitely.

Find a pad of paper and writing tools. Have everyone write an outrageous phrase on a slip of paper, and collect everything in a hat. If it's a mixed group, set propriety guidelines ahead of time; if it's adults only, go wild.

Give one person the hat: They must draw a piece of paper and read the statement aloud to the group. The goal is to keep a straight face: Whoever laughs or smiles loses. Pass the hat around until everything has been read. Have everyone sit around a table. Everyone will put their heads down; count down from three, and have everyone sit up and look at someone else in the circle.

If you make eye contact with someone else, you're out. If the person you're looking at is looking at someone else, you're safe. Repeat until everyone is out. Pick one person to be Mr. Have everyone playing the game move around the party as usual. When Mr. Freeze freezes, though, everyone else must freeze, too. Whoever freezes last is out. Repeat for the duration of the party.

For adults, if you want things to get a little wild, just add alcohol. For most games, instead of someone being "out" after losing, have them take a sip of their drink or a shot, if you're feeling particularly rowdy. In games involving rule-making Kings, Cheers to the Governor, etc. If you are introducing drinking games to your gathering, drink responsibly, and stay safe! Tear or cut sheets of paper into pieces, or give each person playing a notepad, and pass around pens or pencils.

Each person should have as many pieces of paper or pages as people playing: If it's a group of 10, each person should have 10 pieces of paper, for example.

Without letting anyone else see, write a word or phrase on the first piece of paper. Everyone should pass their stack of papers or notepad clockwise. The next person will look at the word or phrase, move it to the bottom of the stack, and then draw their interpretation of that word or phrase. Once everyone is finished, pass clockwise again. This person will look at the picture and interpret it into a word or phrase, moving the drawing to the bottom of the stack. Think peppermint, turkey , cranberries Anyone who doesn't want to put on an apron can be part of the judging panel.

You play this game like Family Feud — it comes with answers featuring the most-often-used responses to Christmas-themed questions, and two teams battle to see who can match the most popular answers. If your family has a deft host and a technologically savvy crew, you might even be able to do this one over Zoom.

It comes with enough questions and responses to play four rounds. That's right, decorating gingerbread houses isn't a just-for-kids activity, says Berger. Pair guests up to form teams and start with pre-built houses to minimize hassle and mess. The decorating portion of the party should have a time limit, followed by an anonymous vote to pick the winners by the end of the party.

To give it a grown-up twist, serve spiked hot cocoa! You may not consider reading a natural group activity, but it can be just as fun as watching beloved Christmas movies with your friends. Host a reading of A Christmas Carol or another holiday literary classic and assign different parts to your guests, suggests Blum.

It's a unique and untraditional way to get everyone in the spirit. No one escapes their game with their dignity intact. One player has to wear the reindeer headgear, and another has to try and toss the rings onto the antlers. In the end, everyone laughs until they shake like a bowl full of jelly.

Split your friends into teams, and have each team wrap one member in rolls of toilet paper to transform them into a snowmen, says Moss. Then each team can jazz up their "snowman" with accessories and any other fun props they find hanging around. The most ridiculous one wins!
