This is a great game for six or more players. You will need white and red paper (can be crepe or tissue paper), masking tape, and white cotton. Divide everyone into teams (you need to have at least three people in a team, and at least two teams). Each team chooses one of their group members to be Santa. Give each team a set of materials (it makes it more challenging if you don’t give scissors). On the mark of “Go”, each team needs to create a Santa costume for their group member with the materials they have. They should be given a time limit (five to seven minutes makes it fast and fun, but if you see that they can use a bit more time, you can give them a few more minutes). Assign someone to be a judge; it’s best if everyone wins in a different category. It’s surprising to how elaborate people can get with creating these Santa Costumes!!

This works best for 3rd - 5th graders, they are capable or wrapping gifts, but haven’t had much practice yet. Select 2 small boxes of equal size. Gift wrap them. Cut extra sheets of wrapping paper to fit the size of the box. You will need one piece of wrapping paper for each child. Divide the children into teams. To play the game, a team member will leave their group, run to the gift station, unwrap the gift, rewrap the gift, and run back to tag the next team member. The first team to have each member wrap the gift wins. To tease the teams before they start, a gift that rattles adds a fun touch. A box of macaroni and cheese works and it gives them a laugh when the first person unwraps it too.
