1. Christmas Sticker Stalker

Stealth is required to play this game that will put your guests on their edge and on the lookout–of course, in a fun and exciting way! This sticker stalker game is a fun, sneaky game you can play over the course of an entire party.

Hand out ten stickers to each of your party guests, which they will attempt to stick on another person without being busted. You don’t want to get busted if you don’t want the person having a free pass at sticking a sticker on you!

2. Christmas Stocking Guessing Game

This is an excellent sensory game for children. Fill a stocking with mystery items then pass the stocking around. Let the children take turns guessing what’s inside it.

The kids can smell it, shake it, or simply feel the stocking to know what’s inside. There is another version to this game where you have several stockings with only one object inside for the participants to guess.

3. Jingle in the Trunk

Well, kids can’t have all the fun right? This game starts with 12 jingle bells loaded inside an empty tissue box attached to the waist (directly above the backside).

By dancing, prancing, or doing the jingle bellhop, the contestant must get all 12 bells out of the box with no hands. That’s right, no hands!

4. Face the Gingerbread Man

5. Christmas Charades

6. Giants, Wizards, and Elves
