Let’s pretend to be Santa indoors and pull a sleigh! Here’s an idea for a Christmas ball-toss game.

What you need: a basket, some balls, and a piece of string.

How to play: Choose one person to be Santa.

The Santa player ties the string to the basket and pulls it like a sleigh.

The other players try to throw the balls into the “sleigh” (the basket).

Playing while Christmas music is on will make it even more exciting! Give it a try!

You can play right away even without any materials! Here are some ideas for a Christmas mimicry game.

What comes to mind when you think of Christmas? In this game, you imitate sounds and movements related to Christmas and Santa Claus to a rhythm.

A teacher or parent acts as the leader: start with two items, and once everyone gets used to it, increase to three.
