I am getting ready to have our annual Christmas Party and I am looking for some new ideas on games. I want to be able to get the women more involved and also get to know each other better. Please, does anyone have any ideas?? I always use the game where you guess the person by there past. I am ready to do something else.

I shared this one awhile back:

Here's a fun one you could do with the whole group or you could break into little groups.

Take a gift (can be a simple box of Christmas chocolates or anything)
wrap it. put a tag on it that says "Merry Christmsa"
wrap it again,,,,,,,,
and again,,,,,,
and again,,,,,,
in between some wrappings put notes like "What is your favorite thing to do at Christmas?" or "Sing us your favorite Christmas carol" or "tell us about your best Christmas" or "share with us a Christmas tradition in your family" or "What is your most memorable Christmas"
get the idea?

anyway, you can have this wrapped as many times as you want....
then you play like "Hot Potato"
we usually have someone at the piano playing Christmas carols, but if you are in small groups a tape of music will do,,,,,
when the music stops the person holding the gift opens ONE LAYER....
(They don't know it's layered, they think they are getting the gift)
eventually they will get the hang of it. The last person of course, the one that says "Merry Christmas" gets to keep the gift.

It's fun. Makes for lots of laughs. I have done this with seniors, ladies, youth and even in the childrens department. You make up your own questions, so there's really no limits.

Have fun!
