Christmas Gift Exchange Games


Christmas parties are always a lot of fun, and with these Christmas gift exchange games, they become even more fun!


The Holiday Gift Grab - 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. 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)
  • Guest 3 in turn takes Guest's 2's gift (Two gift grabs)
  • Stop: Now guest 2 must pick a new gift from the pile.
  • Now we proceed to Guest 6 and so on.

  • Remember there is no gift grab if a gift is choosen from the pile.

  • This continues until the person with the highest number goes and either grabs a gift from another or chooses the last gift from the pile.


Wrapped Gift Grab Take 2


  • 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 (the more layers, the harder the game).

  • Players, as many as there are to play, sit in a circle.

  • Each player takes a turn at rolling 2 dice, first person to roll doubles, get to start unwrapping the gift, the catch, they have to wear a pair of mittens (wool, oven mitts, etc).

  • Players cannot use teeth.

  • Immediately players continue to take turns to roll the dice, next player to roll doubles take the mitts and a turn at unwrapping the gift.

  • Play continues until the gift is unwrapped, the player to unwrap the last piece of paper gets the gift.

 

Gift Unwrap Game Take 3: Christmas Gift Exchange Games


Number of players: about 10-30


Materials Needed:

  • Dice
  • Basket
  • Hat
  • Gloves
  • Scarf
  • One small well wrapped present

Method:

  • A gift is placed in the center of the group. A basket with dice is passed around.

  • When a person rolls double sixes, they run up to the gift, don the hat, scarf and gloves (goggles if you want too!) and begin unwrapping as fast as they can. (The more items they need to put on the less they'll be able to unwrap)

  • The dice continue to be passed and as soon as someone else rolls double sixes, they take their turn at the present.

  • Play continues until the present is completely unwrapped.
