Christmas Word Scramble Game
Supplies:
Sheet with scrambled words, pens, fast thinking
Here's how to play:
Take common Christmas or Holiday items and scramble up the letters of the words and have guests try to figure out what the word is.
Version 1
Place 15 – 20 Christmas item word scrambles on a page. Depending on how difficult the words are give your guests 3 or 5 minutes or play until the first person announces that “I’m done!”
Examples:
Christmas tree = scahmrtis reet
ornament = narotnem
wreath = etwrah
To extend the game or have more rounds – create several word lists based on:
Things people do during the holidays
Like: shopping, carling, baking, gift exchange, wrapping, decorating…
Version 2
Once your guests have arrived, randomly divide them up into groups of two or three. Pick numbers from a hat or just name team, the goal is to mix everyone up so people meet each other.
Now give each team a sheet of paper with the Christmas Party name on it and let them know that they will have 5, 7 or 10 minutes to come up with as many baby related terms by using only the letters found in the using the letters at the top of the page..
So if you are hosting a “White Elephant Party” or “Jones Christmas Party” they can only use these letters.
Note: You can only use the letter as often as it is used in the name, so if there is only one “g” that is all you can use.
