Have An Old Fashioned Christmas - Party Games

Dancing Reindeer



PENNY HUNT

Have all players stand in a circle in the centre of the room. As they watch, walk around the room, placing one penny for each player in a different spot.

When all the pennies have been placed, tell the players to get ready, set and go!

They must each pick up a penny, then sit in the centre of the room.

The first time, there will be a penny for each player. Ask the players to return the pennies to you and again stand in a circle in the centre of the room.

Place the pennies around the room again but this time, have one or two fewer pennies than players. Whoever doesn't find a penny is out.

Use care in selecting "hiding places" to avoid bumped heads. When you're down to the last two players, don't let them see the hiding places you select.

Occasionally place a penny on top of the head of a player who has been eliminated earlier in the game. The last player to remain in the game is the winner.


PIN THE NOSE ON RUDOLPH

Draw and colour a picture of a reindeer, minus its nose, on a large sheet of paper, such as newsprint. Tape the paper to a wall so the centre is at about shoulder height for the players.

Cut circles out of red construction paper to represent Rudolph's nose.

Set up a starting line about 6 feet away from Rudolph's picture. Distribute a "nose" to each of the players and have them write their name on it.

Blindfold the first player, then turn them around 3 times and face them toward Rudolph's picture on the wall. The first place the player touches is where you must tape their "nose".

When every player has placed their "nose", you may have to measure to see who the winner is…or you may not.
