Christmas game ideas are awesome. If you’re like me, the hardest part of your week is picking them out! During the holidays, you can switch up the “regular” games and include Christmas game ideas for teens.
Check out this list of 10 fun Christmas games for youth ministry!
10 awesome Christmas game ideas
1. Ornaments in the Tree
Get a non-decorated Christmas tree and set it up in the middle of the room. Put a circle of tape on the floor 10-15 ft around the tree. Provide each team with a bucket of non-breakable ornaments of a specific color. Give them a few minutes to throw their ornaments and try to get them to stick in the tree. The team with the most ornaments on the tree wins.
2. Human Present
Divide the group into teams or bring few students up on stage. Give the students supplies to wrap and decorate one of the people on their team and turn them into a human present.
3. Christmas Carol Pictionary
Divide your group into teams and play Pictionary with Christmas Carol titles. You may need to have multiple games going at once if your group is larger.
4. Pin the Nose on Rudolph
The classic party game Pin the Tail on the Donkey just went Christmas. The same rules apply—pin that nose on Rudolph! You can get creative with how you spin them, what obstacles are in their way, etc.
5. On-Screen Games From DYM
Download Youth Ministry has a ton of screen-based Christmas games to chose from! Check them out here.
6. Roll to Unwrap With Oven Mitts
Have four to six players sit in a circle with a pair of oven mitts, a present and a die. Each person takes a turn rolling the dice until a certain number is rolled (we will say 4). Once a 4 is rolled, that person then puts on the oven mitts and begins unwrapping the present. Everyone else continues to roll the dice trying to get a 4 and once it is rolled, it is that person’s turn to don the oven mitts and attempt unwrapping the present. Those who are not unwrapping are constantly rolling the dice.
Tip: Wrap the present multiple times to make the game last longer.
