You could play a gift exchange game where everyone brings a Christmas-themed gift and takes turns picking and stealing. It's always fun and full of surprises!
You could have a charades game with scenes or quotes from A Christmas Story. It's a great way to get everyone acting and laughing as they try to guess.
How about a trivia game about the movie A Christmas Story? Test everyone's knowledge of the scenes and characters. It can get quite competitive and exciting!
One game could be story guessing. Read a part of the story and then let the others guess what will happen next in the story.
Another game is 'Story Scent Creation'. Divide the guests into groups. Each group is given a basic story plot. For instance, a story about a beach vacation. They then have to create a new scentsy scent name and description that would fit that story. One group might come up with 'Tropical Breeze' with a description of a blend of coconut, ocean air and pineapple scents. This game encourages creativity and also makes the guests more engaged with scentsy products in a fun way.
A 'Story Relay' game. One person starts reading the story, and then after a certain number of sentences, passes it on to the next person to continue reading.
One game could be the 'Right Left Gift Exchange'. You tell the 'right left' story which has mentions of 'right' and 'left' throughout. As you say each word, you pass a gift around the circle either right or left. When the story ends, the person left holding the gift gets to keep it. It's a fun and simple way to engage everyone at the Christmas staff party.
One variation of the Left Right Story game could be to use different directions like 'forward' and 'backward' in the story too. So instead of just left and right passing, you might also pass the item forward or backward based on the words in the story. Another variation is to have two gifts and two stories going at the same time in opposite directions.
Some great party favors for a Christmas party could be small ornaments. They are festive and can be used to decorate the Christmas tree. Another option is Christmas - themed candies like peppermint sticks or chocolate Santas. Miniature stockings filled with treats are also popular.
For Christmas party games, one popular one is 'White Elephant Gift Exchange'. In this game, everyone brings a wrapped gift. People take turns choosing a gift or 'stealing' one already opened. As for a gift exchange story, I remember at one party, a little girl got a beautiful hand - made scarf. She was so excited as it was exactly what she had been hoping for.
One Christmas party I attended had a gingerbread house - making competition. We were divided into teams. My team decided to make a gingerbread castle. We spent hours carefully constructing the walls, using icing as mortar and candies for decoration. There was also a live band playing Christmas music in the background. As the night went on, we finished our masterpiece and were so proud of it. Then we all joined in a dance, moving to the rhythm of the jolly music, and enjoying the delicious food and drinks provided at the party.
A Christmas party game could be 'Santa's Sack Race'. You fill sacks like Santa's and have a race. For a gift exchange story, I once saw a guy get a guitar pick holder at a gift exchange. He was a guitarist and was super happy. Simple gifts can bring big smiles.
One great party game is charades. People can act out different words or phrases, and others have to guess. It's really fun and suitable for all ages.
