12 Days of Christmas Party Games

If you love Christmas and parties and games (and Christmas party games) as much as we do, you are going to love this series of posts. We’ve been throwing Christmas parties for over 25 years now, so we’ve amassed quite a collection of games.

There are the old standards, like Christmas charades and word scrambles, but if you play them year after year, guests will eventually memorize all the answers, and where’s the challenge in that?

So we’ve also invented a few games of our own. Some are silly, some are sweet, some are seriously cerebral, but they’re all a lot of fun. I’ll be posting as many as I can as quickly as I can over the next couple of weeks, along with our modified versions of the old standards and free printable supplies for all, so check back… the following links will become live as soon as I get the files uploaded.

  1. Ice Breaker Bingo
  2. Christmas Timeline Challenge
  3. Pop Quiz on Party Preparedness
  4. Who Gets What? Matching Game
  5. Christmas Word Scramble
  6. Put the Baby in the Manger
  7. Christmas Carol Quiz
  8. Christmas Word Find
  9. 12 Days of Christmas Sing-a-Long
  10. Who Wore It Best? Matching Game
  11. Holiday Photo Scavenger Hunt
  12. Christmas Travel Bingo

Play these games with your family. Play them with your friends. Have fun. Laugh. Make memories. And have a merry and meaningful Christmastide!

Know friends or family who’d enjoy playing our Christmas games? We’d love it if you’d send them our way by emailing a link or sharing on social media (see share buttons below). Thanks!

    Dear Jennifer,

    Thank you sooooooo much for the free printable “12 Days of Christmas Party Games” . I’ve printed out three of them and am going to wrap them around a very large “Christmas” pencil – that has an eraser on it and a small pencil sharpener – and will tie it with ribbon and place it across the dinner plate of each guest at my Christmas Day dinner. Whoever answers the most correct will win a head band with Santas and the runner up/tie person will a headband with Reindeer.

    Have a MERRY, BLESSED CHRISTMAS!

      There is a link in the original post where you can download the answer key. It was (evidently) harder to find that I thought, though, as I’ve heard from several readers in search of the solutions. So I made the download button bigger and more obvious. You can find it right under the picture of the game in the original post.

    I found your web site on Pintrest. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have never come across anything like this. Our Christmas’s have become really boring since our kids aren’t kids anymore, but the things you are so generously sharing will help to make it fun again! I very much appreciate all the hard work you’ve done. Thank you again for sharing all of this with us and have a Joyful Christmas!

    Hi,

    I am the group leader for our local Parkinson’s Disease Support Group.

    We are having our annual Christmas party this week and your games are perfect for our party. You may know that word games are important to us as we have a higher chance of dementia and so your ideas will be much appreciated.

    Merry Christmas to you!

Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, Every spring, I pull out my little Easter journal, read through it again, and complete a few more pages.  Packed with scripture, word studies, writing prompts, and gorgeous vintage artwork to color, it’s a great way to focus my heart and mind on the unfathomable love and unmerited grace that compelled Jesus to conquer sin, death, and the grave on behalf of all who put their trust in Him (including ME🙋‍♀️)!  If you enjoy coloring, journaling, and/or reflecting on Christ’s love, you can find BECAUSE HE LIVES — along with all of my other devotional journals — on Amazon.

I love leaving all our windows open to let the lig I love leaving all our windows open to let the light shine through, but the glare off this white wall blinds me whenever I’m washing dishes at our kitchen sink. So I decided to paint a mural to help absorb some of the reflected light!  Also, I figured it would be easier to keep painted shrubs and flowers alive than the real thing since we don’t have a sprinkler system and I sometimes forget to water the real stuff until it is limp and wilted — or worse!  #flandersfamilyhome #wallart #outdoorproject
I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE ye I finished listening to David Epstein’s RANGE yesterday. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  What an inspiring book! I told my husband, who’d read it years before, that this book really made me grateful we had chosen to homeschool.  “That’s exactly what I thought when I finished reading it!” he responded.  It’s not that one CAN’T learn to think broadly in a traditional classroom — Doug and I both attended public schools as children, earned specialized degrees in college and graduate/medical school, yet still managed to retain a healthy curiosity about a wide range of topics.  It is just that our modern educational system favors benchmarked learning and early specialization, often at the expense of making interdisciplinary connections or pursuing tangential topics.  Each teacher piles on homework in a given subject, seldom pausing to point out how the material being presented in one course relates to anything the student is learning in other classes.  Modern classrooms stress outcomes, grades, results. They have little time or patience for the kind of “mental meandering” and experimentation that is vital to innovation.  Happily for us, that hasn’t been the case with homeschooling. We teach our kids the basics, expose them to a broad range of books, people, places, and ideas, let them delve deeply into investigating topics or developing skills that interest them, and discuss with genuine enthusiasm and appreciation all the things each of us are learning — collectively and individually — and how it all fits into the framework of our Christian worldview.  As parents, I don’t think Doug and I deliberately set out to create that kind of environment for our kids when we first started teaching them at home, but by God’s grace, that is what our homeschooling experiment evolved into. And books like Range make me extra thankful that is the case. ❤️  #flandersfamilyreads #bookstagram #homeschooling #lifestyleoflearning #recommendedreading

On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked On this date in 1987, my husband officially asked me to marry him before slipping onto my finger an antique diamond ring his grandmother had taken off her own hand two days earlier and hand sized to fit mine.  He proposed on bended knee in the living room of his grandparents’ house in Corpus Christi, with Nanny and Poppie looking on, offering constructive criticism, and making him back up and re-do all the parts that THEY found unsatisfactory the first time. 😂😂🤣  The truth is, Doug and I had already been planning our wedding — and, even more importantly, discussing our hopes, dreams, and expectations for the life we’d share together after the ceremony — for months before his grandparents insisted he formalize things with an official proposal of marriage and a gorgeous ring I’ve worn proudly ever since. 💍  Either way — with or without a ring or a formal proposal — my answer to the question was a resounding “YES!” Agreeing to marry Doug remains one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. ❤️❤️❤️  #officiallyengaged #happilyeverafter

One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation i One thing the kids and I enjoy doing on vacation is working puzzles. We start a 1000-piece jigsaw as soon as we arrive at our destination and race the clock to finish before time to leave.  Abby especially enjoys puzzles and is usually the one pushing for us to continue this tradition, although she abandoned me most of our evenings this trip to play pool with her brother.  Gabriel is an early riser though and made up for it by working on the puzzle with me in the mornings.  Dad and Nana aren’t huge fans of jigsaws, but we saved the last two pieces for them to put in, so they could say they helped, too. 😂
