Christmas party games FAQ

What are good Christmas party games?

Christmas charades, pictionary, would-you-rather questions, trivia, printable prompt cards, and team guessing games are easy options for most groups.

Can these games work at work or school?

Yes. Keep prompts clean, split into teams, and use trivia or pictionary if the group is shy about acting.

How many Christmas prompts should I prepare?

Prepare 20 to 40 prompts for a standard party. If you have many teams, print extra cards so prompts do not repeat too quickly.
