Put a spin on traditional gift-giving with this printable Christmas Gift Exchange Game! It’s more fun than simply wrapping up a gift and sticking someone’s name on it. With this game, you won’t know whose gift (or what’s inside it) that you could possibly end up with!

Christmas Gift Exchange Game

Christmas Gift Exchange Printable PDF - Christmas White Elephant Game Directions

This game is fun for giving gifts where the group of people are similar in age. Like with a sports team, boy/girl scouts, or during a classroom party. That way, everyone will be gifting items that all participants can enjoy.

Fun Christmas Gift Fact

Speaking of gift-giving, do you know why we give our family members and friends gifts at Christmas in the first place? According to Why Christmas?, gift-giving has become a holiday tradition because the Wise men brought gifts to Jesus at birth. He received gold, frankincense, and myrrh when He was born.

Though we give and receive very different presents today, it’s all because we want to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season…and that he was given gifts too.

Getting Ready for Christmas Gift Giving

To get started with this Christmas gift exchange game, everyone should agree on a date for the event. Make it a total evening of fun and laughs with finger foods and desserts, or go all out with a potluck dinner. Gifts are best given after a full belly!

You will also need a spending limit on the gifts you plan to exchange. You wouldn’t want to bring a $10 gift and go home with an item valued at $50! Setting a budget makes the game fair for everyone. Most people will probably be okay with a $25 budget.

Items you could give for this Christmas gift exchange include:

  • Comfy items (Blanket, slippers, cozy socks)
  • A basket full of treats
  • Gift cards to specific stores or restaurants
  • Cute coffee mug that would be meaningful to anyone playing

How to Play the Christmas Gift Exchange Game | Better than a Secret Santa

Playing the Christmas Gift Exchange Game

When it’s time to exchange your gifts, the real fun begins! Incorporate a fun holiday party game. Print the cards on cardstock paper so they will withstand the entire game – and for future years of use, if everyone enjoys playing.

Put the cards in a stack on a table and let everyone gather around with their gift in their hands. Take turns drawing cards and following the directions.

Example directions on the printable cards for this game include:

  • Swap gifts with the person to your left
  • Swap gifts with the tallest person in the room
  • Swap gifts with the oldest person playing
  • Swap gifts with the person whose birthday is next
  • Swap gifts with someone wearing a sweater

The more cards you turn over and follow, the more the gifts will get scrambled up around the room. Once everyone has drawn a card (or 2 cards, 3 cards….however long you want the gift exchange game to last), it’s time to OPEN the gifts!

This game is so fun, it’s easy for it to become one of your yearly Christmas traditions!

Peppermint Search

Get messy when each player is given a pie tin filled with whipped cream and hidden peppermint inside. Using only their mouths, players have one minute to retrieve as many peppermints as they can. When retrieved, they grab the peppermint and place it on plate beside them. The player with the most candy retrieved, wins!

Oven Mitt Game

In this silly Christmas game idea, have a wrapped gift. Choose a number like three. The youngest player puts on two oven mitts and tries to unwrap a gift (you can have multiple wrapped gifts in each wrapped gift.) The player to their right begins rolling the dice. When a three is rolled, that player gets the mitts and gift and begins to unwrap the gift. The player to their right begins rolling to dice. This game goes on until someone unwraps the gift. They get to keep the unwrapped gift.

Ornament Spoon Relay

Just like an egg spoon relay. Divide teams into two and players must carry an ornament on the spoon to a designated spot and back. If the ornament drops, return to the starting line. Fastest team, wins.

Christmas games are a fun way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family. They are one of the many Christmas Traditions that will fill the holiday with warmth and plenty of laughter. If a family game night is part of your routine, twist it up with Christmas theme fun activity during the holiday season.

What better way to spend time together than to plan a night of fun laughing while you play a game of Christmas Scattergories? It’s a classic game with a ho-ho-holiday twist I know you’ll love!

What is Scattergories?

Scattergories is a game of wits and words. In the game there are categories that players must think of answers to, but the twist is every answer begins with the same letter as your category. For example: Christmas songs that have names that begin with S.

The game can be made more difficult for adults (think songs with three-syllables) or easier for younger players.  Players that are younger will usually think of simple answers like Silent Night and Santa Claus is Coming to Town, but the older players may come up with songs such as Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time and Sleigh Ride.

Scattergories is a fantastic game for people of all ages. The best part? You can play it anywhere. It’s an easy go-to game that can be pulled out during any holiday gathering or on a long car ride. It’s accessible for almost anyone and offers hours of fun!

Playing Scattergories on Christmas

The holidays are one of the best times to play Scattergories. Everyone is already in the spirit, so it will be easy to come up with unique Christmas-themed answers. Some examples of categories are:

  • Things that are red
  • Holiday Christmas movie
  • Foods you eat on holidays
  • Christmas song
  • Words associated with the North Pole
  • Gifts to give friends and family members

There are so many ways to play Scattergories, especially when it comes to themed editions. You could grab a blank set of paper and create some of your own. Roll an alphabet die to come up with the starting letter of the alphabet.

Christmas Scattergories Game Rules & How To Play

Christmas Scattergories PDF

This classic game is much like the original except for a few festive twists. Here are the rules to get your party started:

There are five pages with different Christmas words on them. You can either paly five different rounds or if you’re looking for a quick game, break the pages up into sets and play one at a time.

Hand each guest a copy of the Christmas-themed words to use in the game. Using a a timer, set a time limit for game play. Players will think of words that fit the description on the left and also match the letter of the alphabet at the top of the column.

Once the time is up, the fun begins when each player shares their words for each topic. If an answer is voted not to be a good answer, they lose that point. The player with the most blanks filled with accepted answers wins the round!

Scattergories Christmas Game Words List:

  1. Santa
  2. Candy
  3. Sled
  4. North
  5. Frost

This game is great for all ages. It makes a fun, uproarious Christmas party game and works well for students during a classroom party. This  printable game is a perfect addition for last minute entertainment for your family’s Christmas dinner or December birthday party.

What is a Minute to Win It Challenge?

How to Play Minute to Win it Games

Each game requires 60 seconds. The goal of Minute to Win it, is to complete your challenge in under one minute and/or first. Before you begin your games, decide how you will create your teams/groups.

Invidudal vs Clock: In tis man verse clock setting, each player plays for their own score and points. This means games can be played over and over, many times. Make sure that have enough supplies in this setting. You can have one individual play a new game until they do not win one in 60 seconds or less. Or you can just rotate players each time.

Groups: Minute to Win it for groups is your traditional head to head challenge. Pair players to battle each other. In this setting, two players are trying to complete the same task, each with their own individual supplies. First to finish, wins. This works best when you have a handful of players, everyone rotates getting turns. Everyone might not play the same type of game.

Teams: Split larger groups into teams of two or give. Players alternate turns. Players assign a team member each round (new game.) In this setting, your team wants to finish first to be awarded the most points.

There are times where individuals might have to pair up into small teams. In that case, each invidudal player is assigned points for that game. This could offer fluidity, where on one game persona A and B are paired together and in an entirely new game, invidudal B and C are paired together.

How to Score Minute to Win it Games

It’s very easy to score Minute to Win it games. Having a paper, pen, and pencil helps you keep track of players, games, and points scored each round. You can also download and print the Minute to Win it Score Card with everyone of our Minute to Win it Games.

Minute to Win it Score Card

There are a few ways to tally scores. If you have teams battling against each other, teams can earn different points based on their finishing positions. First team to finish can earn 3 points, second team to finish can earn 2 points and the last team to finish can earn one point.

Alternatively, if you are playing with individuals, every individual that finishes the 60-second challenge before time is up, gets one point.

What do I need for Minute to Win It Games?

Minute to win it games with no supplies are rare and mostly found online or virtual. However, the best thing about minute to win it games and supplies are what you need is pretty common.
