What would a Christmas party be without a Massive Christmas Challenge!

3. Christmas Mafia (the naughty list)
Have you played Mafia before? If yes, then you know how the games goes. If not you can find the instructions at Ice Breaker Ideas. They explain the game well so I won’t even attempt to do that.
What makes it a Christmas Mafia is that you will have
- Mrs. Claus (detective)
- Santa Claus (doctor)
- Elves (Mafia members)
Also in Christmas Mafia you don’t kill anyone… the Elves put the nice ones on the naughty list. Mrs. Claus tries to figure out who put them on the wrong list and Santa can add them back to the nice list.
Christmas party game for large group.
5-25 players.
Teens will like this game too!
4. Christmas Bingo
Christmas Bingo! Always an easy and fun way to entertain the party crowd. You could also include it as a cool activity for an advent calendar. Your kids will love it.
What I really like about this bingo game is that it has 30 unique game boards so you can play it with a large group like a class room full of kids.
5. Christmas Table Game
Twist and Sprout Game is a game of acting, humming and general knowledge.
Keep a box at your dinner table and play a round or two after dinner every day in December.

Who has not tried to shake the presents or feel the stockings to find out what’s in there.
Now you get to do that with permission!
You’ll need stockings and an item to put in each stocking. This advent calendar gift list will get you started.
Number the stockings and give everyone a list to write down what they think is in each stocking.
This could also be a fun way to do Christmas gift exchange. The one who got most correct can pick a stocking as a Christmas gift. Then the one who got 2nd place gets to pick a gift next and so on.

Perhaps you won’t get to ride in the sleigh with Santa but you can certainly deliver gifts down this chimney.
Make a chimney out of cardboard box.
- big box
- draw bricks or glue on paint sample chips
You could also use the inexpensive cardboard fireplace pictured above. Tape a piece of cardboard behind it or place it against the wall so you can tell whether the gifts went to the “chimney” or not.
Other preps:
Wrap boxes.
How to play:
See who can toss the most gifts in the chimney.
11. Pin The Hat On “Elf”
Younger kids love the “pin it” games. They will have fun pinning the hat on a kid who would loved to be Santa’s helper. (This is an 8.5 x 11 in printable.)
You could also play pin the nose on the snowman or pin the ribbon on the gift.
Digital Product. You’ll also get 4 additional games: 48 gift exchange cards, scattergories, Christmas ABC, and finish my phrase.
12. Christmas Carol Pictionary
The worse you are at drawing the more hilarious this game is.

Get the pictionary from My Computer Is My Canvas.
