We are having our annual Christmas party with friends this Saturday. This year we are expecting 18 kids with the parents. With that many kids, you need entertainment right? So we play games that have prizes. I am looking for any other ideas besides what we do here:
The kids begin by getting a stocking and stickers so they can put their name on them. Glue and Glitter are a big :nono: Learned that lesson a long time ago along with silly string but that is another story. LOL.
After the kids get their stockings named, they sit around the table and make paper snowflakes. We find two snowflakes that are somewhat similar for the second game.
Game 1) The kids line up. We have a picture of Santa Claus on the wall that has his nose marked as the bullseye. Each kid is given a red nose with tape and blindfolded. They must put the nose on Santa. Like pin the tail on the donkey. One kid gets prize for being closest.
The kids are now divided into 2 teams.
Game 2) They line up on both sides of our pool table in a row. They are all handed a straw. First kid must hold the snowflake by sucking through the straw. No hands. Then they pass the snowflake down the line and back again. First team done wins a prize. But we don't have losers. Losing team also gets a prize.
Game 3) Same teams. Index cards are used to spell out a Christmas phrase with a letter on each card. The teams must figure out what the words are and spell it using the cards. Words like Snowman - Christmas Tree - Santa Claus etc. Teams again get prizes.
Game 4) Same teams. The kids line up once again. First kid in line has 4 candy canes put on their index fingers hanging down. They then pass the candy canes from kid to kid by using finger to finger. All 4 candy canes must be transferred before they move on. Candy cane falls, they start over. Prizes awarded again.
Game 5) Same teams. Now this game is a hoot. Kids line up once again. There is a huge bowl of peppermint candies on one end of the room. At the other end we have volunteer parent hold an empty stocking. The kids use a ladel to scoop up as many candies as possible, take to the other end of the room and start filling the stocking. Kid returns to the line, passes the ladel and then goes to the back of the line. First team to fill stocking wins.
Last year we had a parent disqualification. LMAO! Two daddies were chosen to hold the stockings. Well, one of the daddies cheated by putting pool table balls in the stockings while no body was looking. I said... wow...team one filled that stocking pretty fast. After examining the stocking it was discovered that there were 3 pool balls in there. ROFLMAO! This had everyone cracking up. This year it will be the mommies.
All the prizes were wrapped and after each game the kids are forced to put them in the stockings they created at the beginning. Once the games are completed, they all get to open the prizes.
That keeps the kids busy the rest of their stay so BroncoManiac69 can start hitting the booze. LOL
So my question is this. Do any of you have any other ideas for games?
Thanks In Advance!
