Five Super Christmas Games For Kids

Article by Andrew Low

Children and Christmas – what a joyful combination. They and their friends will be able to celebrate the season when we remember the birth of Jesus with these five super Christmas games for kids.

Balloon Relay is a team game which requires a balloon (green and red are the colours associated with Christmas), a chair and a ruler for each team. The first player in each team must bat their balloon around their chair at the other end of the room using only the ruler to hit the balloon (no hands or feet). When they return to the starting line the next player in their team takes over, and so on until everyone has completed the course.

Christmas Card Hunt is a fun indoor game for children of all ages. You will need to collect at least three old Christmas cards (or purchase new ones) for each player. The cards should be cut in half and the top sections placed in a box. The lower parts are scattered around the room. Each child chooses one card top from the box and then searches the room in an attempt to find the matching half. Once found, they can choose another card top from the box until they are all gone. The winner at the end of the game is the child with the most complete cards.

Happy Christmas is a counting game where all the children are seated in a circle. The game commences when a nominated player counts “One”, followed by the player on their left who says, “Two” and so on around the circle. When a player should say a multiple of five (that is; 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.), they must say “Happy Christmas!” instead of their number. If a player makes a mistake by counting the wrong number, saying “Merry Christmas!” instead of “Happy Christmas!”, forgets to say, “Happy Christmas!”or says it at the wrong time, they are out of the game. The final player wins.

Jingle Bells, as its name implies, is a noisy Christmas game for kids. Each player is given a blindfold, except one who is given a small bell and is not blindfolded. This player moves around an area while ringing the bell and calling out, “Merry Christmas!” while trying to avoid the other players as they try to catch them. If the player is caught, they swap the blindfold and bell. If you don’t have enough room, four or five catchers can play until the bell-ringer is caught when the remaining players change places with those who have just played.

Ho Ho Ho is a lot of fun for a simple game. The first player lays on the floor with the second player laying at right angles with his head on the first player’s stomach. Player Three lies down in the same direction as Player One but with her head on Player Two’s stomach, and so on. When everyone is in position, Player One says “Ho!” followed by Player Two who says “Ho-Ho” and so on. If any player makes a mistake by saying the wrong number of “Ho’s” or giggles or laughs, the whole team starts again from the beginning. Ho Ho Ho can also be played as a race between two teams.
