Christmas Charades Party Game

The way you play Christmas Charades is simple. First, split your group into two teams. Then, print out my Christmas Charades printable found below and cut out each of the squares.

Just like the traditional guessing game, this holiday-themed version will have each team pull a card and then ACT OUT the word using only their bodies with no verbal cues.

The Official Rules

  • Players are split into two teams
  • Cards are placed face down and shuffled
  • One family member is assigned to track points for each round
  • Each round is 60 seconds. One team member per round gets to go up and try to act out each card – one at a time – without using any verbal cues. Rest of team must try to guess.
  • For every card they “pass” on, team loses a point.
  • Game is over when there are no more cards.
  • Tally up points and see which team won.
  • Bonus: Members may add easy charades ideas to piles before the game begins – charade phrases must be holiday related.
