Here is a new game (at least it's new to me) that is a lot of fun to play. It can change up your Christmas party gift exchange.
I don't think there is a name for it so I call it Stealing Christmas.
How to play:
- Everyone needs to bring 5 wrapped gifts that cost no more than a $1 each. They can also bring junk from home if they don't want to spend the $5 bucks.
- Once you are ready to play put the gifts in the middle of the room and circle up around the gifts.
- You will need 4 dice and a two containers to roll the dice in. Small plastic containers work fine. The container helps the dice not roll all over the room.
- When you say go the two people that have the dice roll them into their container. If they roll a 7 or 11 they get to pick out a present from the pile. If they roll a double they get to roll again.
- After they roll they pass the container with the dice to the person next to them. The next person rolls and continues the process.
- The game moves quick because of the two sets of dice.
- Once all of the presents have been collected everyone gets to open their gifts.
- Now this is where the fun begins. Set a timer for 5 minutes and start the game over. This time if someone rolls a 7 or 11 they can steal one gift from someone else. If they roll a double they get to roll again.
- At the end of the five minutes if anyone doesn't have a single gift then they get to steal one gift from someone else.
- It's a fast paced game and a lot of fun!
Do you have a favorite Christmas party game?
HEy Rob, Yea I have had...Statcounter since I started the blog! I do have that going, but you are right...read more write less and comment more!
ReplyDeleteThanks
Stealing Christmas is fine if that's what you want to call it, but we've always called it the dice game.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, if you have more people, ad more dice. We played this year with 3 sets and I think I liked it better. I've also thought about having each person bring less gifts, but maybe 4 $5 gifts or maybe 3 $5 gifts and one $10 gifts to get the quality of gifts to go up... These are just thoughts I've been having on improving "stealing Christmas" or the dice game.
