Christmas Icebreakers and Games



The Twelve Days of Christmas
Sing the 12 days of Christmas. Assign 12 people or draw names to see who is going to participate. Don't tell them what they'll be doing ahead of time, just say you need some volunteers. Everyone begins singing the song, then have the first person sing their part "a partridge in a pear tree". The second person, "2 calling birds", and so on through the 12 days. Tell them they have to do the motions too. For some of them, they'll have to be creative but some will be easy. This is a lot of fun.


Share a Memory
Ask everyone or a few people to tell what their favorite Christmas memory is. This could be changed to what was the best gift you ever received? What is your favorite thing your mom or grandma baked or cooked during the holidays?


Christmas Musical Chairs
Play just as you would normally, using Christmas carols for music. Have some small gifts wrapped up for the winner. If you have a large group, just have about 6-8 chairs out and have volunteers come up to participate.


Christmas Word Search
  Baking Up Christmas
Correlates with the Baking Up Christmas Theme.


Wright/Left Gift Exchange Game
I had one of these games on my site last year but I can't seem to find it anywhere so here's some more of them. None of them are the version that I originally had. If I find it, I'll let you know.

Version 1   (Homeschoolzone)-Halfway down the page.
Version 2   (Party 411)
Version 3   (Robin's Web)-Halfway down the page. Other games there too!
Version 4   (Party Game Ideas.com)-2nd one down on page. Other games too!
