5 Christmas games for kids

1. The garbage man game: hide some Christmas items around the house. The children have to find them all. Here are some examples of things: a Christmas hat, sparklers, Christmas tree decorations, sweets - candy or cookies.
2. Who I am is the Christmas version. The player's task is to guess the Christmas character that is written on his forehead. Not literally, of course, but on a leaf. Fasten the leaf with the word on a rubber band or under a handkerchief, but so that the guesser can not see the inscription. The player should ask leading questions about his character, and the others answer - yes or no. For example, who can be guessed - Russian Santa Claus or Santa Claus, Rudolph the reindeer, Grinch, elf, snowman, or Russian Snow Maiden. The main thing is that the child should know all these characters.
3. Christmas quiz: here you have to prepare in advance. So, the presenter thinks up questions on the theme of Christmas and gives options for answers. The children have to choose the right answer and earn a point. For example, you can ask the questions: What is the name of Santa's main reindeer? Or how does Santa Claus get into the house on Christmas Day?
4. Paper snowballs - You will need old newspapers or magazines. Place sheets of newspaper on the floor, and children should crumple them into "snowballs" to the music. When the music stops, the one who has crumpled the most snowballs wins.
5. Snowball in a spoonFor this game you need ordinary absorbent cotton. So, form a small ball and put it on a spoon. The child's task is to run with the spoon around the table or Christmas tree without dropping the snowball. This will not be easy! After all, the snowball is light!
