Ring Around The Antlers
Your kids will love this one! This is a holiday spin on the classic ring toss game. Best of all, the items you’ll need can be easily sourced and the directions are easy for children of any age to understand. First, you’ll need to fashion the reindeer antler headband. This is a common Christmas item and you should be able to find one easily at your local dollar store. Next, make candy cane rings using white and red pipe cleaners. Lastly, divide into teams, with each teammate getting three throws. Each ring scores two points and one point for a ring that is leaning on or touching the target. First to get to 21 wins!
Christmas Scavenger Hunt
Try this Christmas-themed scavenger hunt in your neighborhood this holiday season. Make your own cards or purchase them from Amazon and let the fun begin. Be sure to include indoor and outdoor items. Some popular holiday items to include are a wreath, a star ornament, a plastic Santa, and a wooden deer.
This game is best played in teams but is also fun solo. Have an adult mediator deal the deck out to each team. Give the teams a predetermined time frame to go out and find the various items, taking a picture of the found object with their phone. Whoever finds the most items in the time allotted, wins! Keep it fresh by alternating teammates after each game.
