[Christmas] Ranking of Popular Entertainment/Performance Ideas (1–10)
What’s inside the box?1rank/position
“What’s in the Box?” is a game where you guess what’s inside a box using only your sense of touch.
If you let everyone except the challenger see the contents, the challenger will be on pins and needles reacting to the crowd! Touching something you can’t see is surprisingly scary.
If you use this as a recreation activity at a children’s Christmas party, giving hints will help the game run smoothly!
Gift hunting2rank/position
When it comes to what kids look forward to at Christmas, it’s all about the presents! This “present hunt” isn’t just about receiving gifts—it’s a thrilling game for children where they search for hidden presents.
It may mean extra work for adults to hide them, but once kids hear there’s a treasure hunt, their eyes will surely sparkle as they join in.
Be sure to try planning one for your Christmas party!
Gesture Game3rank/position
A gesture game is a recreational activity that livens up a Christmas party.
Because players must guess the answers using only movements without sounds or voices, it involves a lot of remembering and thinking, so it can be expected to have brain-training benefits.
It also seems to help refresh both body and mind.
Try making accommodations for older adults, such as preparing prompts that can be performed while seated.
There are plenty of elements that make it exciting—like figuring out answers from movements and enjoying humorous expressions.
It’s a great way for everyone to share smiles.
Please feel free to use this as a reference.
Spoon race4rank/position
The “spoon race” is where you run to the finish line while balancing a ping-pong ball or another sphere on a spoon.
It’s a very simple game, but when you get flustered your hand shakes and the ping-pong ball falls off, and if you try to run faster to reach the goal, your body sways and—again—the ball drops.
Setting rules like making it a team competition or restarting from the beginning if the ball falls would likely make everyone take it more seriously!
Bingo game5rank/position
Bingo games are a classic activity at events.
You might think, “We need a bingo machine and cards…,” but it can be simpler and more enjoyable for older adults to write the names of favorite vegetables or fruits on paper instead of numbers and play bingo that way.
Participants can call out items from their own cards, or you can make separate cards and draw from a box—either method works.
Offering a small prize to those who get bingo would make it even more exciting.
You can also try it with animal names or any theme you like.
Christmas Quiz6rank/position
An exciting event! Here are some ideas for a true-or-false quiz about Christmas.
Many children may think of it as an event where they receive presents from Santa Claus.
Turn Christmas-related topics into a true-or-false quiz and have fun deepening learning while playing with the kids.
Since it’s a simple two-choice (true or false) quiz, it’s easy to incorporate into your activities! By the time the Christmas Day event arrives, they might even become Christmas experts.
Gift exchange7rank/position
One classic activity at Christmas parties is the gift exchange, which kids always look forward to.
Here’s how to play: First, everyone holds a present and forms a circle, then start the music.
While the music is playing, pass your present to the person next to you and keep it moving around.
When the music stops, the present in your hands is yours.
If the gifts are wrapped, you won’t know what’s inside, which makes it even more exciting!
