Old Fashioned ChristmasParty Games


To make your Christmas party a thorough success, there is nothing like having plenty of variety in the games. There is no chance then of the boys and girls getting tired.

Many of the games included here would be suitable for parties anytime throughout the year.



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.
