Mystery gift pass
This is a fun party activity, great for little kids and perfect for class parties (if you’re a room mom). It works well for Christmas, but could be used for other holidays, too.
Don’t Eat Pete
Don’t Eat Pete is a great party game for younger kids. Why wouldn’t it be? It involves colored happy faces, candy, and surprises. “DON’T EAT PETE!”
Castles and beavers
Castles and beavers (or castillos y castores, in Spanish) is a children’s game that comes from Mexico. Definitely one of my all-time favorites. It doesn’t really have a winner or a loser, but it’s hilariously fun.
Tell a story
This is a fun talking game for a smaller group, good for encouraging creativity (and usually silliness).
One hundred
This is a great indoor group game, good for kids or adults. It can be chill and casual or fun and intense, whichever way you’d like to play.
