Christmas Games

Most groups have a "Christmas theme" night at some stage towards the end of the year, so we thought we'd build up a list of ideas if you're having a Christmas night:

Here's a couple of ideas to get things started...

  1. Christmas trivia night - you'd be amazed about what people assume is fact in relation to Jesus's birth (for example, how many wise men were there!?) 
  2. Act out the 12 days of Christmas - split your group into 12 groups and each group has to act out a verse of the 12 days of Christmas. 
  3. Community Service - Christmas is an ideal time to do something for the community.  Imagine the impact if you setup a free gift wrapping service at your local shopping centre.  No catches, just a service for people and a way to interact with your local community.  Or what about helping at a Soup Kitchen?  An important message to communicate to your young people is that this service shouldn't just be at Christmas time but all year round
  4. Shoe boxes - Samaritan's purse have a fantastic program where you can prepare shoe boxes full of gifts for kids.  They collect the boxes and distribute them to communities that don't have the luxury of being able to celebrate Christmas in this way.
