[Christmas] Ranking of Popular Entertainment/Performance Ideas (31–40)
Christmas gift exchange36rank/position

From the image of gifts from Santa, presents are an essential part of Christmas.
Let’s incorporate a gift exchange into the event to highlight the fun of Christmas.
Have everyone hold one present and pass it to the next person until the music stops, building excitement about what will end up in their hands.
You can make the contents random so people can enjoy surprise Christmas gifts, or turn it into a game by filling them with scoring stones or similar items to ramp up the excitement.
Gesture Telephone Game37rank/position

Gesture games where you enjoy using body movements and facial expressions, and the telephone-style gesture relay game, are both casual entertainments we’re all familiar with.
So how about hosting a Christmas Gesture Game Tournament by limiting the prompts to Christmas-related themes? Starting with classics like Santa Claus and reindeer, and moving on to trickier ones like Christmas trees and Christmas cakes, it’s sure to be a fun time.
If many people are participating, making it a team competition will make it even more exciting!
Gift Stacking Game38rank/position

Speaking of Christmas, kids always look forward to presents, don’t they? The Present Stacking Game is a competition to see how high you can stack presents.
Focus and stack paper-crafted present boxes in a balanced way.
Since the boxes are handmade, they won’t all be the same shape.
The key is to observe their shapes and balance, and stack them so they stay stable.
If your tower collapses along the way, start stacking again from where it fell.
You could also put small candies or other treats inside the present boxes and give them to participants at the end to make it even more exciting.
Snowman wreath made with pom-poms39rank/position

Here’s how to make a Christmas wreath easily with decoration balls! You’ll need fourteen 2.5 cm decoration balls, floral/arrangement wire, rhinestone stickers, pipe cleaners, thread, round stickers, and glue.
First, thread 12 decoration balls onto the wire.
Twist the ends to form a wreath shape.
Next, attach the remaining two decoration balls to make a snowman.
Use stickers for the eyes and a pipe cleaner for the scarf.
Tie the snowman to the wreath with thread, and you’re done!
Mission game40rank/position

It’s exciting to carry out a mission written on a piece of paper, isn’t it? If you’re doing a “mission game” at a Christmas party, we recommend simple yet slightly nerve‑racking tasks like “stack three paper cups,” “thread a string through a toy needle,” or “quickly change a doll’s outfit.” Think up missions that match the children who will be playing.
And if there are sweets or prizes waiting after they clear the mission, it’s sure to make things even more exciting!
[Christmas] Ranking of Popular Skits/Acts for Entertainment (41–50)
Russian roulette41rank/position

The classic punishment game Russian roulette is kind of cliché, but it always gets everyone hyped! The orthodox way is to prepare several cream puffs or pieces of sushi, and make only a few of them super spicy.
If you use it as a punishment game, you can simply say that getting the spicy one means you’re “punished,” and you can also set a rule that even if you get a normal one, you have to pretend it’s spicy.
That makes it a pretty tough challenge in its own way.
It’s an idea for a punishment game that seems fun from the preparation stage!
puppet show42rank/position

Puppet shows, which use puppets to present stories, seem to be something we see less often as we grow older.
This project aims to recreate well-known tales through puppetry and let audiences experience the world of those stories.
Even if you already know the plot, seeing it enacted through real movement may lead to new discoveries.
The variety of ways to arrange it—such as which kinds of puppets to use and what mechanisms to incorporate—is another point of enjoyment.
