Christmas party games for kids?
Christmas party games for kids?
does anyone have any good ideas for fun party games for a children's (ages 4-10) Christmas party? The children won't be American - and so can't speak english. I can have someone translate the instructions - but, that means the instructions can't be too long/drawn out/difficult.
an idea i had was a relay race with candy canes....stuff like that is what i am looking for. Fun things for a group of kids to do - i need to fill up about an hour's worth of party time.
any suggestions?

Chosen Answer
Catherine K: Pin the nose on the santa Make a cardboard snowman and have the children throw a ball through a hole cut in the middle Stack up colored plastic/paper cups on a table and have the children knock them down with a ball Hang a string with a clothespin from a doorway or otherwise suspended from a ceiling. Skewer some donut holes with popsicle sticks and clip them to the clothespin. Gently swing the donut hole and have the child try to catch in with only their mouth. Each activity should result in a prize, such as a small candy cane or a ticket. The tickets are then exchanged at the end for a small prize. All children are winners in the game, and each child gets one small gift at the end.

WoaiFishy<3: Well, I know this isn't really a "game" but you can get them to decorate things! For example, you can take a giant group photo and get it developed quickly (if possible) and then have tons of blank foto frames with stickers, paint, etc. to decorate it. Another fun idea would be decorating plain ornaments or stockings. Also, decorating cookies is always lots of fun, and gingerbread houses are a classic. Just have a bunch of sprinkles and icing out for them. The cookies can even be in christmas shapes, like snowmen, santa and reindeer. Furthermore, these can be turned into contests. Whoevers is the best decorated in a certain age group (for example: between four and five-year-olds) wins a small prize.
Hope that helps. Good luck!
Merry early Christmas! :)
