What the charades cards ask kids to do
There are 24 cards. A few of them:
- Ride in Santa's sleigh
- Prance like a reindeer
- Build a snowman
- Hang a stocking by the fireplace
- Wrap a wobbly present
- Decorate the Christmas tree
- Sneak down the chimney like Santa
- March like a busy elf
The scavenger hunt list
12 things to find, written so they work indoors or in a garden. Nothing has to be bought or hidden in advance.
- Something red like Santa's suit
- Something green like a Christmas tree
- Something shiny like an ornament
- Something soft like a stocking
- Something white like snow
- Something that jingles
- Something star shaped or with a star on it
- A treat you would leave out for Santa
- Something striped like a candy cane
- Something cozy you wear in winter
- Something gold like a bell
- Something tiny like an elf's hat
Word scramble
10 words to unscramble, with an answer key on the next page for whoever is running it: reindeer, snowman, stocking, present, ornament, mistletoe, chimney, snowflake, gingerbread, garland.
Ages, timing and printing
- Ages 4 to 10. Younger children usually need a grown-up to read the bingo calling cards and the scavenger hunt list out loud.
- About two hours of party. Bingo runs 10 to 15 minutes, the scavenger hunt 15 to 20, charades as long as they are still laughing.
- Plain paper is fine for the signs, banner and hunt sheets. Card stock is worth it for the bingo cards, charades cards and cupcake toppers, since those get handled.
- US Letter, colour, single sided. Print the invitations first if the party is more than a week away.
- The cupcake toppers say MERRY CHRISTMAS, HO HO HO, LET'S PARTY, SO JOLLY, SWEET TREATS, SANTA APPROVED.
Christmas party ideas for kids and classrooms
- Christmas bingo with mini candy canes as markers is an instant classroom hit.
- Play the charades cards while cookies bake.
- The scavenger hunt list works around the tree or around the classroom.
