HOW TO PLAY:
The group divides in two parallel lines facing each other across the room (perhaps boys/girls but doesn’t matter). Each person is assigned an animal whose match is across the room somewhere. After being given a moment of thought, everyone in the room acts like the assigned animal and walks (crawls, flaps, waddles, etc) across the room in search of their mate. No human language is allowed. When people think they have discovered their mate, the go to the referee. The pandemonium proceeds until everyone has been mated.
To help with the assignment of animals perhaps you could make two sets of animal cards to pass out to people. In this case, the people wouldn’t need to be in parallel lines across from each other. They could just be in a big circle or anywhere in the room.

HOW TO PLAY:
Give each guest a piece of paper that has the letters vertically written from A to Z. Your guests must then come up with a word for each letter that relates to Christmas. The first one that completes the list with legible words wins a gift.

HOW TO PLAY:
Simple gather together a collection of old Christmas cards and carefully cut off the backs. Avoid glittery cards.
Now set up a "course" by placing a large box or bin on the floor and marking a place to stand some feet away from it, depending on the age of the children. If you are playing with mixed ages, older children should stand further away than younger children. Each child takes turns tossing a stack of cards (like a frisbee) into the box. Count up and the child with the most cards in the box wins.

This game is not particularly a Christmas game, but can be played all year round whenever adults are gathered. It is most appropriate if the party consists of couples. One of the spouses leaves the living room and the rest of the guests ask the remaining spouse questions about his/her partner. It can be specific questions or ethical dilemmas. When questions and answers have been written down, the other spouse re-enters the living room and is now asked exactly the same questions. A point is given for each time he or she gives the same answer as the partner. Each point tells how well you know your partner.

The idea is to have 2 decks of cards, pass out one deck of cards to everyone at the party circling around giving everyone one at a time until all the cards are gone. Hopefully everyone will come out with an even number of cards.. Have a bunch of nice little gifts wrapped 5 or 10 depending on the amount of guests.. Put the gifts in the center of the room..
Then with the second Deck of Cards have someone call out each card, the person that has the card that is called gets up and picks a prize, when all the prizes are taken from the table, everyone can steal the gifts from each other, when the whole deck has been called out the people with the prizes on their laps keep them..

This is a fun and exciting way to exchange gifts. Each person brings a wrapped unmarked gift. (We usually have a $$ limit-ex. $5.00) Or you can bring white elephants gifts for added fun. Everyone sits in a cirlce and the gifts are placed in a pile in the middle of the circle. Write nimbers from 1-??, depending on the number of gifts, on small pieces of paper. Do not number the gifts. Fold papers and place them in a hat or some other container.
Each person randomly picks a paper (number) from the hat. Start with the
person holding number 1. He/she picks a gift and opens it. Number two can either pick a gift from the pile or take the gift from number one. Number one then chooses a wrapped gift from the pile and opens it. Number three can either take a gift from numbers 1 or 2 or pick one from the pile to open. . There is no limit on the number of gifts one person can open if others continue to take the gift they have opened. Each gift can only change hands three times through out the game. The person with the gift on the third exchange keeps it. Each person ends up with only one gift. You may end up with the same gift you brought.

It Gets Harder
Require a small wrapped gift and a pair of dice. The gift should be wrapped in a solid box. We had a gift certificate wrapped in a hard jewellery case.
Wrap the gift with paper, then masking tape, paper, masking tape, paper

Many Variations are out there
Have all of your guests bring a small gift that costs under $10 - $20. You'll need to have one gift for everyone attending. (You may want to have some spares just in case) The gifts can be anything from gag gifts to wine to movie tickets, hot sauces, teddy bear, anything goes. As guest arrive place the gifts in one central area. Once everyone is there, put numbers (1 for each guest) on pieces of paper (1 per piece), fold and put in a hat. Have the guests choose a number, this determines who goes first. The guest with number 1 goes first and selects a gift from the pile. The person who is number 2 has a choice take Number 1's gift or select one from the pile, if Number 2 takes Number 1's gift then number 1 can pick from the pile again. Once you get to the 4, 5, and 6th guest, it will get tricky because only two people can steal gifts from the other guests.
Example: Guest 5 - takes Guest 3's gift (One gift grab)

A Christmas Holiday game where you try to complete the list of twenty questions. A great game to get people talking and telling stories. We've created a page that you can print out.
The Goal is to Find out who has done everything on the list First... or
just use it as an icebreaker!

Everyone brings a gift to the party, this is fun for gift exchanges during the holidays. TO BEGIN: Everyone stands in a circle holding the gift he/she brought to the party. Someone reads the story, every time the word RIGHT is read, everybody passes his gift to the right. Every time the word LEFT is read, gifts are passed to the left. The gift that each person is holding at the end of the story is the gift he keeps.
Story Example:
The Right Family Christmas Story Christmas was almost here and Mother RIGHT was finishing the Christmas baking. Father RIGHT, Susie RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT returned from their last minute Christmas errands. "There's not much LEFT to be done," said Father RIGHT as he came into the kitchen. "Did you leave the basket of food at Church?" asked Mother RIGHT? "I LEFT it RIGHT where you told me to," said Billy RIGHT." "I don't have any money LEFT." The hall telephone rang, and Susie RIGHT LEFT to answer it. She rushed back and told the family, "Aunt Tillie RIGHT LEFT a package for us RIGHT on Grandma RIGHT's porch. I'll go over there RIGHT now and get it," she said as she LEFT in a rush. Father RIGHT LEFT the kitchen and brought in the Christmas Tree. By the time Susie RIGHT returned, Mother RIGHT, Father RIGHT, and Billy RIGHT had begun trimming the tree. The entire RIGHT family sang carols as they finished the decorating. Then they LEFT all the presents arranged under the tree and went to bed, hoping they had selected the RIGHT gifts for their family. Now I hope you have the RIGHT present for yourself, because that's all that's LEFT of our story, except to wish you a Merry Christmas, isn't that RIGHT?
