Soooo….every year my husband is in charge of the holiday games at his grandmother’s annual family Christmas party.
And every year we are on top of it….every year, except for this year. The party is in two days and I’ve got no ideas…
Here are a few of the games that we’ve done in the past:
A holiday version of Family Feud where I polled the people on our Facebook Page for the answers to the questions….
It was a lot of fun! And since it was a family party we had the teams split into generations with the older crowd battling it out against the younger crowd.
Then there were all the Minute to Win it games….
We love these kinds of games and have done them several times, always with new challenges, and they are always a hit.
We’ve even set up a photo booth with these printable props:
And then of course we’ve done Holiday Jeopardy, Seasonal Pictionary, and a ton of trivia….aside from a slew of mixer games that I’ve made up…but this year I’m coming up empty…
Maybe it’s the weather…or my trips to the doctor…but I just haven’t felt very Christmasy….and I need to snap out of it. ASAP.
I want to come up with something fun and new and different…the games above really are a lot of fun…and if you haven’t played them at your family party I’d say give it a try. (Really they are great.)
But as for me…I’m in a holiday party rut….and I’ve got to get out of it.
Any ideas…for the games??? Or how to get out of my rut???

We always play Christmas bingo. Everyone brings wrapped prizes. Some are silly, some are gaggy, some are cool. It’s a simple game, but for some reason we always have so much fun! My Mom made a Christmas themed bingo, but I think you can buy them, too.

We play a word game of sorts… And that beard prop is so adorable!

Keep it simple. An easy Christmas craft, make lots of paper snowflakes, or even a regular board game with extra game pieces, so that more people can play. It doesn’t have to be spectacular for your family to enjoy doing something together. Merry Christmas!
