Draw the Carol

Things Needed:

  • Sketch Board
  • Pen
  • Make chits of Christmas Carols that can be chosen according to the level of difficulty that you choose
How To Play:
  • Group your guests into two or more teams.
  • One person is designated as the Game Master and manages the game.
  • A representative of the first team is sent to the Game Master and choose a chit.
  • Only the Game Master and that person see the chit and it is then thrown away.
  • Now this representative tries to make his/her team understand which carol he/she has chosen by drawing symbols on the paper.
  • As soon as the team guesses the carol, they sing its first stanza.
  • The game continues with the next team and so on.
  • Each team gets 2 minutes to guess the right carol.
  • The team that guesses the first five carols wins the game.

The Sandwich and Cinderella game

The Sandwich Game: Choose 4 people to compete. Have them wash their hands. In the middle of the room so all can see have a table with plates of different cuts of meat left over from dinner, sauces and garnish? Now blindfold each contestant. Number all plates. Supply each person with plastic cutlery and an apron. Have contestants call out a number and whatever meat graces that plate - have someone be their eyes and pass the plate to them to start making sandwiches. There is no set time on this game. As the host when you see enough sandwiches made to feed all later in the evening, stop the game and thank them for helping out. Sneaky I know but "funny clever" you must agree.

Cinderella Game: Although a time for season of goodwill not everyone see`s it that way and especially more so if they have to give up something, like their time. This game includes a party guest having to give up their time to wash dishes, make coffee for all or whatever you believe a good forfeit. No one wants to skivvy on Christmas day so it will be all systems go to win the game. To make it fair let us not have one Cinderella but several Cinders. Purchase special bingo tickets with the same numbers on 1-90. You be the caller. When the winning number is called all players will shout "house" at the same time, unknown to them at the beginning of the game each had the exact duplicate of each other's bingo ticket. Outcome: dishes disappear in a flash and coffee poured in no time at all.

Name That Item

Ingredients

  • Bag

  • Shaving cream, Black Book, Baseball Cards, TV Remote, Money Clip, Dirty Socks, Baseball Cap, etc.

To Play

  • Place the above items in a bag

  • Seal the bag.

  • Then pass it around the group and have each person feel the items through the bags.

  • Have the guests write down their guesses.

  • Then open the bags to see how many are correct. You might give the person with the most correct guesses the entire bag (of worthless male items). To increase the usefulness of the "bag of prizes", and increase the raunch factor of the game, you might want to substitute sex toys (purchased from your local adult store) for the "male items" in the bag. You could probably even hold each sex toy in the air (without the cover over it), and have a guessing contest as to the name and function of each toy.

Board Game Tournament

Ingredients

  • Monopoly

  • Scrabble

  • Chutes & Ladders

  • Candy Land

  • LIFE

  • Other Board Games

To Play

  • About 20 to 25 folks attend and everyone participates in the various board games. (Usually about 4 or 5 different games). You get points based on where you finish, i.e. 4 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, etc.

  • Once all the games are played, a king, or a queen is announced.

  • Complete with pictures and the passing of the crown! It's absolutely a blast! I highly recommend this type of event for someone looking for something out of the ordinary.

Guess Whose Resolution


Ingredients

  • Pieces of Paper

  • Hat

  • Scissors

To Play

  • Cut out slips of paper.

  • Make each of your guests write down 5 resolutions, each on its own slip of paper.

  • Pull one slip of paper out of a hat at a time and read it out loud.

  • Everyone has to write down who they think made each resolution. At the end of the readings, the person who guessed the most correctly wins a prize. Read some of the wrong guesses out loud for fun!
