Christmas Character Bowling
Either paint some old tin cans or tall cardboard boxes in Christmas characters and play a classic game of Christmas themed bowling with the family in the backyard.
Pin the Nose on the Reindeer
Create a fun festive variation of pin the tail on the donkey. Make your own reindeer or print out a template online and gather around to see who can pin Rudolph’s nose the closest. This game will surely bring lots of laughter on Christmas day.
Christmas Bingo
Who doesn’t love bingo? You can find printable Christmas themed bingo games online that you can easily print, then it’s game time!
Christmas Carol Charades
Put a holiday spin on this classic party game by limiting the charade choices to the names of Christmas carols. Write the names of the carols on small pieces of paper and place them in a bowl. Pass the bowl around and let everyone choose their carol one by one.
Gingerbread Houses
An activity that doubles as a decoration and a dessert. Add a bit of competition by diving the family into teams and seeing who can decorate the most creative gingerbread house with an assortment of lollies and sweets.
