Games for the Christmas Holiday


Defined Tag: Christmas Traditions.

When you have a lot people over for Christmas dinner you'll want to plan some fun Christmas activities they can do while dinner is cooking. While some guests of course may prefer to watch games on TV while dinner is cooking, there will be some who will prefer other activities for fun. Here's some fun table games for the Christmas holidays your guest can play while waiting for dinner.

Board Games

Board games have always been popular through out the years, so be sure to have some on hand. For the kids you'll want something like chutes and ladders, candyland, monopoly, yahtzee, game of life, wheel of fortune, or scrabble to name a few.

Tablecloth Coloring

Another fun Christmas holiday activity for the little ones is to get a tablecloth that they can color on and decorate. This should be one of those disposable types of tablecloths of course, as you don't want to ruin your good stuff. Have them date it and put their name on it as this will give you something to look back on and have as fond Christmas holiday memories when they are all grown up.

Outdoor Games

If the weather permits, perhaps some outdoor games would be a good way to pass the time until dinner is ready. They could play a game of Frisbee, soccer ball, football, horseshoes, or even a simple little croquet game would be fun!

Sharing Stories

For example you could have everyone share their stories about the best or worst Christmas gifts they ever got! They would have to describe the present and describe why they thought it was the best or worst gift they ever got. Guess that food dish Let those who aren't helping prepare the dinner try to guess what dishes are going to be served by smelling them with their eyes closed. The easy stuff like ham, turkey, roast etc doesn’t count, as those are easy but how about some of those side dishes! For instance can they tell squash from sweet potatoes,

Brussels sprouts from cauliflower etc. Let the winner have a taste of the dish of their choice!

Puppet Show

Puppet show - Put on a puppet show acting out some Christmas Stories can be another great way to entertain the little ones and help pass the time as well! If you can video tape the puppet show it will make for great entertainment and wonderful memories in years to come as well.
