5 Fun and Festive Holiday Party Games for Kids
Are you looking for some fun and engaging activities to keep the kids entertained at your holiday party? These 5 holiday party games are sure to be a hit with children of all ages:
"Pin the Nose on Rudolph": This classic party game is a twist on the traditional "Pin the Tail on the Donkey." Simply draw or print out a picture of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and hang it on a wall. Cut out red noses from construction paper or foam, and give each child a turn trying to pin their nose as close to Rudolph's as possible, blindfolded. The child with the nose closest to the correct spot wins a prize.
"Pass the Present": This game is a great way to get kids moving and having fun. Have all of the children sit in a circle and give one child a small wrapped present. Play some holiday music and have the kids pass the present around the circle while the music is playing. When the music stops, the child holding the present gets to unwrap a layer of the gift. Play continues until the gift is completely unwrapped.
"Holiday Scavenger Hunt": Create a list of holiday-themed items that the kids can search for around the house or yard (e.g. a red ornament, a pinecone, a candy cane). Divide the kids into teams and give each team a copy of the list. The first team to find all of the items on the list wins a prize.
"Freeze Dance": This game is a hit at any party and is easy to adapt to a holiday theme. Simply play some festive music and have the kids dance until the music stops. When the music stops, the kids must freeze in place. Any child who doesn't freeze is out. Play continues until there is only one child left, who is crowned the winner.
"Santa's Workshop": Set up a "workshop" area with craft supplies, such as construction paper, scissors, glue, and stickers. Give each child a blank piece of paper and let them create their own holiday-themed crafts, such as greeting cards, ornaments, or gift tags. Encourage creativity and let the kids use their imaginations to come up with their own unique creations.
These holiday party games are sure to keep the kids entertained and having fun during your holiday gatherings. With a little bit of preparation, you can easily add some festive cheer to your party.
