Three deep
Three Deep is a big-group, fast-paced, basically strategy-less party game that involves shouting and finding your two teammates as quickly as possible. Fun!
The monster game
A drawing game where different players draw different parts of a monster, creating a silly masterpiece…er, monsterpiece!
Monkey in the middle
Monkey in the middle is a throwing and catching game for a small group. Players try to keep the ball away from one player, the “monkey.”
Who am I?
A character card guessing game for a large group of people. You’re assigned a character or person and you have to ask questions to other players until you figure out who you are. It’s a great mingling game because it can encourage you to talk to lots of people in the group.
Christmas gift pass
This is a Christmas gift exchange activity, using the poem “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas” and the words “right” and “left” to instruct children to pass their gifts to the right or the left. It’s kind of like a white elephant gift exchange, but for younger kids because it’s easier and faster and, because there’s no actual choosing involved, will probably lead to less gift-picker remorse.
