Kids are excited about Christmas. Especially when they are young. They love the run up, the excitement, the planning, creating lists and all else that is associated with it. It's also a good time for family to bond, be it over games, food, cooking, travelling or just spending quality time together.
This excitement for Christmas is a great tool to play some fun games. Here are 2 simple games based on Christmas:
1. Making Giveaway Bags
Make giveaway bags with the help of your kids. Give each child empty bags and the goodies they need to pack in. Ask them to ready it all and then start the timer. Whoever finishes packing all bags with every item correctly in the shortest time is the winner.
2. The Blindfold Game
Load a bag with pairs of things, be it candy or small toys. Make sure none of these things can cause harm. By turn, blindfold a child and start a timer. Give each child a minute or two (this is dependent upon the age of the children) and see how many pairs of things they can fish out. The winner is one who pulls out the the most pairs within the given time.
The tricks to games is keeping it simple and fun. Simpler the rules, easier it is for kids to slide into these games.
