Who loves playing holiday games? These free printable Thanksgiving Charades are the best way to have some family time. Just print the Thanksgiving Chardes game, and let the fun begin! When it comes to fun Thanksgiving games, you’re going to want to add these free printable charades to your list! 

free thanksgiving charades cards printable

It’s safe to say that holiday games and activities are a must for the winter break and are a great way to have everyone in the family join in on the family game night fun.

The fun part about playing charades is that it’s different each time you play it. Each person will act out the cards and words in their own special way, making it unique and hilarious each and every time.

Being able to print out these Thanksgiving charade ideas and have everyone in the family join in and play sounds like the perfect holiday party! Just be ready – there might be a little bit of friendly competition happening in the house!

If you’re looking for fun Thanksgiving activities, charades need to be on your radar! These Thanksgiving charades for kids are great for all ages to join in on the excitement!

How do you play Thanksgiving charades?

All you need is this Thanksgiving list of words to get started! That doesn’t mean that you can’t add more (and I’ve included blank sheets for you to do just that!) if you want!

Start by splitting up into teams, and then fold up the Thanksgiving words and have the person who will be acting out the clue pick one. If their team members can guess what they’re acting out before the time runs out, their team earns a point!

Take turns with teams, and the team who ends up with the most points wins!

How many people do you need to play charades?

how to play charades with thanksgiving charades cards

For this inclusive game, you can literally play this group game with 2-20 people! (or more!) You really just need someone to be able to act out the clues and someone to guess them. But I can promise that the more people you have, the crazier the game gets!

The object of the game is to act out a word or use words to describe the word. Just be careful you don’t use the word. You can use props, hand gestures or even a drawing board. The first team will choose a player to do the motions. The actor will stand in front of the room, while the rest of the team guesses the word. You can set a timer or create a time limit to keep the game moving along. Keep track of the amount of points and at the end you can declare a winner.

You can also just play this charades game for fun. You don’t even have to keep points or pick and “winner” if you don’t want to. See how many you can get in a specific amount of time – and have fun doing so.

Supplies

Christmas parties are a great way to be festive & get in the holiday spirit. Here are some of the best kids Christmas party ideas including games, music and food. Download and print the free Christmas party printables too.

Christmas Party Ideas for KIds

Christmas is a time for family, friends, and fun. It’s also a time for giving, and what could be more fun than throwing a Christmas for the tiny people we love? But sometimes it can be hard to come up with ideas for a Christmas party for kids. If you’re stuck for party ideas, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ve put together a list of some great Christmas party ideas for kids, so you can make this holiday season extra special.

How do you make Christmas fun for kids?

The winter holiday season is great because there typically are a number of fun activities for kids in December. Create special memories by incorporating fun activities into your every day (or every weekend) calendar. This can be outdoor activities like building a DIY igloo or indoor activities like putting together gifts for your neighbors.

If you are looking for some fun Christmas ideas for the kids, try some of these ideas.

  • Host a Cookie Exchange
  • Create a Holiday Family Bucket List
  • Bake a Cake for Jesus
  • Try a New Christmas Tradition
  • Have a Gift Exchange
  • Decorate the Christmas Tree
  • Create fun Christmas Crafts
  • Write and Visit Santa
  • Have Fun Outdoors
  • Throw a Kids Christmas Party

The most important thing is to make the activity memorable. Events are most remember when they are just a little bit out of the ordinary. Not activity you do every day. Put down the electronics and everyone immerse themselves in the Christmas activity.

In this blog post, we will focus on ideas for a Kids Christmas Party. Many of these fun activities can be incorporated as entertainment.

Hosting the Perfect Kids Christmas Party

Take a deep breath. If you suffer from anxiety at the idea of having a number of people in the home, remember the perfect kids party doesn’t have a set number of party guests. Party guests can be each of your children inviting one friend. Or go large and invite the entire youth group or neighborhood.

kids Christmas party ideas

Whatever your party size, there are plenty of fun ways to enjoy a kids Christmas party. Keep it simple by planning ahead. Get together a theme, activities and entertainment and a list of fun foods to make. Cooking and baking with the kids not only bring fun food to the event, but it provides a number of holiday activities to do with the kids while prepping for the big day.

Choose a Theme

One of the best ways to make sure your party is extra fun is to choose a theme. This will help you plan the decorations, games, and activities and give the kids something to get excited about. Some great Christmas party themes for kids include ‘Ugly Christmas sweaters’, ‘Winter Wonderland,’ ‘Santa’s Workshop’, or ‘A Night at the North Pole.’

Plan Fun Activities

No party is complete without some fun activities! Why not plan some Christmas-themed games or craft activities to keep the kids entertained? Some great ideas include decorating gingerbread houses, making Christmas cards, or wrapping presents. You can even host a White Elephant Gift Exchange or incorporate a few Christmas games.

Set up a Delicious Feast

No party is complete without food! To make sure the kids are well-fed, set up a buffet of their favorite snacks and treats. These don’t have to be hard, in fact easy Christmas snacks for school party allow you to focus on other areas of the party.  For a festive touch, you could also include some Christmas-themed foods such as candy canes or gingerbread men.

kids Christmas party food ideas

Good food ideas for a kids Christmas party might include…

  • Hot Chocolate Station – This is especially great as it allows each person to personalize what they like in hot cocoa. Options include mini marshmallows, bits of peppermint candy, chocolate sprinkles, mint leaves and more.
  • Dessert Table and Cookie Table – Instead of a cookie exchange, ask party guests to bring a dessert or Christmas cookies to share. This creates less stress on the host for baking before the event.
  • Candy Bar – This is perfect for letting everyone choose their DIY snack or even make their own trail mix. It’s fitting to everyone’s taste buds, you can even use a candy bar as a resource for decorating gingerbread houses.

Children’s Christmas party food ideas are always a good idea! If you love a good food craft, check out more of these Christmas party food options. These Christmas finger food recipes are perfect for preparing ahead or making at the party as a fun Christmas activity.

Play Some Festive Music

A fun way to get everyone in the Christmas spirit is to play some festive Christmas music in the background. This will help to create a magical atmosphere and get everyone dancing along! You can incorporate classics, pop or even Christmas carols. If you can handle it,  even gather instruments and have preschoolers or younger kids make their own festive tunes for the party.

So how do you entertain kids at a Christmas party?

Entertainment Ideas for a Kids Christmas Party

The Elf on the Shelf requires magic to return home to the North Pole each evening. Because human touch causes magic lost, you cannot touch the Elf on the Shelf. It is important to share this Elf Rule with your child immediately upon Elf adoption. If it is Christmas Eve, you can touch the Elf on the Shelf on the last night. Because Santa brings Elf on the Shelf home on Christmas Eve, Elf does not need magic this evening to return to the North Pole. He/She will get a ride on Santa’s sleigh.

This can be an Elf doctor, a special Elf friend, or a magical signal sent to your Elf.

Take a look at these solutions for when Elf on the Shelf is touched. Make some assessments before solution is determined for your Scout Elf doll.

  1. Was Elf touched by accident?

Whether you’re planning to attend a New Year’s Eve party or staying home, here are some of the best New Years questions that are fun for both kids & adults. This New Year’s game includes 68 conversation cards that offer thoughtful reflection on the past year.

Fun New Years Eve Conversation Cards Game to Play

It’s hard to believe that another year is just about ready to come to a close and a new one will begin, but it’s true. That means that it is time to look back on the year and reflect before leaping ahead into the new one. If you are having a gathering of friends and family this year to celebrate the New Year print out these New Year’s Eve questions conversation starters to help everyone reflect on the past year.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind?

What does that New year’s Eve Auld Lang Syne song mean anyways? The exact Scottish translation is old long since. It’s not a common phrases to English speakers.  In essence, it means “old long since,” or to the “olden days.”

If you are celebrating New Years Eve with Kids or even with friends, let’s toast to the olden days – the days of yesterday or last year. Before having a family chances are you spent New Year’s eve out partying at clubs, going to the New York Time Square ball drop in person, or attending parties at friends’ homes. Once you have kids, celebrating New Year’s day can look a little bit different because you want family-friendly activities and traditions that the kids can participate in too. Incorporating New Year’s Eve games are great for kids and even adults!

New Year’s Questions

You might be asking what makes a good new year’s question? The best new year’s eve questions prompt or create a conversation. They cannot be answer with a simple yes or no answer. Instead good New Year questions and answers create reflection and discussion among those sitting in the room. A good question might take minutes or even a half hour to answer as you go to down the rabbit hole of reflection and redirection.

example new years eve questions conversation cards printable

We put together a list of 68 good NYE questions. These New Year’s Eve conversation starters are one such tradition that the whole family can enjoy. You can use these conversation starters year after year as a fun way to help friends and family reflect on the year that has passed. All of the conversation starters in this free printable set are family-friendly. If you don’t have children, or your gathering does not include children, don’t worry these conversation starters are still perfect for New Year’s reflections for any age group.
