This game idea is for any occasion and any age. It consists of two or more players, a bowl or container of some sort, a large spoon/ladle, a blindfold and a bag of cotton balls.

One at a time, the players are blindfolded and the cotton balls are spread out on the floor in front of them. The object is to see who can get the most cotton balls in the bowl in a specified time. It's hilarious to play and watch.

Thanks to Tracy S - this sounds like fun!

Styrofoam peanuts are a good substitute for the cotton balls - thanks Stefanie B.!

Give each player a sheet of paper and a pencil. The object of the game is to draw the most snowmen as possible, according to the rules. No player may start a second snowman until the first one is completed.

Each player takes a turn rolling the pair of dice, trying first for a 6. Once a player rolls a 6, he/she may draw the snowball for the snowman's base. After he/she had drawn the base, he/she may add another snowball for the upper body when a 3 is rolled, and a head when a 4 is rolled. A pair of numbers on the dice will add eyes and a 5 will add the snowman's nose.

Set a timer for half an hour. At the end of that time, the player with the most snowmen wins the game.

All players but one line up at the end of a room. The player who is "it" is called the Catcher and stands alone at the opposite end.

The game begins when the Catcher turns so his or her back is facing the players.

While the Catcher isn't looking, the remaining players begin moving across the room toward him or her. At any time, the Catcher may suddenly call "Red Light!" and turn around. All players must instantly freeze like statues.

If the Catcher sees a player actually moving, he/she sends the player to start over at the beginning. When the Catcher again turns his/her back to the players, he/she will call out "Green Light!" and the players may again begin to move carefully forward.

The goal is for players to gradually move across the room without being caught until one of them reaches the Catcher. The winner then becomes the Catcher.

You will need a tiny ball (mini foot balls are the best) and you'll want more than 5 people to participate. Everyone forms a circle and one person is chosen to be the judge. You throw the ball back and forth. The person catching the ball must immediately say a one word phrase about Christmas or they're out.

The judge will watch the game - they can play too if they want to. If the ball isn't caught either the thrower or the catcher is out. (the judge gets no favorites)

Thank you to Deanna Z for sending this game!
