Party Games For Your Christmas Party
By Katerina Octanova
If you are planning to have any type of a holiday gathering,
then you may want to consider incorporating some fun Christmas
games as well. Party games can even be the focal point of your
party if you wish, as you could tie them into your party theme.
There are many different types of games available, whether for
children, adults or both, which will add that something extra
to your festivities.
For an older group, some games that you may want to try include
Christmas movie trivia. Depending upon the number of guests, divide
them up into one, two or several teams. Give each group several
index cards and have them write down several questions relating
to a particular Christmas movie with the answer on the back.
Give Out Prizes
Once the teams all have several cards, everyone can take turns
reading their cards and having the other teams try to guess the
movie. You can hand out prizes to the team that answers the most
correctly.
Date That Toy
For other adult party games for Christmas why not try "date
that toy." Get pictures of several toys that were popular
Christmas presents, according to the age group that is attending
the party.
You can either provide the answers on cards and have them try
to match the names to the toys or just give them the pictures
and see if they can come up with the name. This is only one Christmas
game that can be played at an adult oriented Christmas party;
a search on the Internet should yield pictures of vintage toys,
as well as several other great ideas for games.
Passing A Christmas Bow
For teenager’s, one Christmas party game idea that can be a lot
of fun is "pass the bow." This is done much like the
Halloween game where an apple or orange is passed down the line
of a team without using their hands.
You can use a large Christmas bow, tucked under the chin of the
first person and have them give it to the next person in line
without using their hands. If the bow is dropped, then it goes
back to the first person and the merriment starts all over again.
You can hand out prizes for the winning team.
Guessing The Number Of Candies In A Jar
Another idea for a Christmas kid party is to have a jar filled
with candy that you have already counted. Have each child write
down their guess as to how many pieces are in the jar, and the
child whose guess is closest to the correct amount gets the jar
of candy.
Other party games may include the "penguin race," where
the kids form two teams and the players put a ball between their
knees and waddles to the finish line or to a team member standing
across the room.
They then have to place it between another player’s knees and
the game continues until all the team members have had a turn.
If the ball is dropped, then whoever dropped it must start over
at the line. You can give presents to the winning team.

Did You Know?
Is there a way to make a Christmas party for adults only?
When you are searching through different
Christmas party ideas you are going to come across some that are
for any age. You may also come across some that are for adults
only. Usually this is because there is going to be alcoholic beverages
served and some parents do not want their children exposed to
this.
If you want to have an "adults only" party
then you need to spell that out on the invitation. You do not
have to be rude but you can mention that this is a time for adults
to gather and get away from the kids for a few hours. There are
going to be some parents that will not come. But there are always
some that enjoy a good night out with friends sans children.
If you have sent out invitations to your
Christmas party that says it is for adults only and you have a
guest ask to bring their child, just gently remind them that it
is an adult’s party and that though you adore their children,
it may not be appropriate bringing them.
