Having the family over for the holidays this year? If so, you should consider planning some fun, family-friendly games that everyone can participate in. Make use of the time you have together- enjoy the holidays, have a few laughs, and make fun memories! Below is a list of the five unique holiday games that you can play with the whole family.
Five Best Family-Friendly Games for the Holiday Season
- Decorate a family member like a Christmas tree: You need to find a willing family member to let you decorate them like a Christmas tree! This can be a fun competition between groups. You can use wrapping paper, candy, bows, tissue paper and other fun holiday decorations. Break into pairs or into teams and set a timer for five minutes and begin decorating! Don’t forget to take pictures when the decorating is all finished.
- Play some family trivia: Instead of using a board game, try creating a trivia game with your own family history. You can use fun family stories, history, or other memorable moments. Pick a family member to host and create the trivia. Set-up teams and get to it!
- Back to the drawing board: Everyone can draw (even if you don’t think you are artistic). Try Pictionary OR have some family fun and draw snowmen, snowflakes, and other winter-themed items. You can make it a contest or create a beautiful collage together.
- Unwrapping gifts- with a twist: Have you ever had trouble opening a present? Well, set a timer and see who can unwrap a present wearing oven mitts or mittens in the fastest time. This is a fun and challenging competition.
- Make music:Â Work together as a family (or in teams) to write, sing, and record your own Christmas Carol or holiday song. You can make this into a holiday tradition each year.
The games listed above are meant to include your whole family. Spend some quality time with everyone and enjoy yourselves this holiday season. Have any suggestions? Let us know!
