Christmas is a great time with family and friends. One of the best ways to bond with(团结) one another is through games. So why not play some great Christmas party games?
Present pickup is a great game for both young and young at heart. It can be played inside or outside. To prepare for the game, you will need to have some small boxes and some small gift bags. This is a great way to use the paper from last year. There should be as many presents as players. You’ll also need four or more candy canes(甘蔗). Two large boxes can be used to drop the presents in.
Two ropes will be needed. Take one rope and make a starting line. The other rope will mark the finish line. Place the large boxes at the finish line.Equally divide the presents into two groups. It’s best to have an equal number of boxes and bags on each side to make it fair.
The first player on each team will take two candy canes. When it’s time to start, They’ll pick up the presents only using the candy canes. Each player must run his present to the box or finish line and drop it in. If it’s dropped on the way, the player starts over. After they drop their presents, the players will run the candy canes to the next players. This continues until all the presents have been picked up. The first team to finish wins.
To play kids against adults, you may want to put easier presents in a group for the kids and more difficult ones for the adults. There are many variations to the game, so have some fun and come up with your own.
