Christmas Matching Game
A matching game with Christmas motifs! All you need is paper and paper cups, so try making it in your spare time.
First, draw Christmas-themed pictures on the bottoms of the paper cups.
Make sure each one uses a different motif.
Next, draw the same pictures you drew on the cups onto a sheet of paper, arranging them in a grid.
Coloring each picture makes them easier to recognize and lowers the difficulty, so it’s recommended.
At “Ready, go!” place each paper cup on the spot with the matching picture.
If you’re playing with multiple people, it works well to take turns placing cups.
How quickly can you find the matching pictures?
Santa’s Present Game
A popular segment on sports shows is “Strikeout,” where you throw a ball and knock targets out.
It’s fun because even pro athletes don’t always nail it.
So let’s customize that target-aiming game and create a “Santa’s Present Game” to get everyone excited.
In short, it’s a game where you toss present-shaped balls into a container with Santa’s face on it.
Adjust the throwing distance or change the size of the balls depending on the children’s ages.
It’s a Christmas-themed recreation packed with festive spirit!
Gojūon game
It’s a very simple yet exciting game called the “Gojūon Game.” The first player says a three-letter word starting with A, then points to the next person.
The chosen person says a three-letter word starting with I, and so on, taking turns and moving through the Japanese syllabary in order, each time saying a three-letter word.
It sounds easy, but if you try to keep a quick tempo, there’s a pitfall: people sometimes mix it up with shiritori midway and stop following the syllabary order.
In conclusion
With the right preparations, games and activities to liven up a Christmas party can offer all sorts of fun.
Since it’s a chance for a large group to gather, try incorporating Christmas games that will make everyone smile and enjoy a special time together.
This year’s Christmas party—be sure to create memories that will stay with you.
