Christmas Party Game Icebreaker for Spiritual Conversation

Here is a sample Christmas Party ice breaker and conversational guide that is similar to the one found on page 38 of Christmas Party Games from Creative Youth Ideas.

You can use this icebreaker as a Christmas party game for adults, for youth, and for kids.

You can probably find this party game for Christmas everywhere on the internet but what I like is the discussion applications to help break the ice for some great conversations over the eggnog or punch.

Name of Party Game: Christmas Forward and Backward.  When I played variations of this in youth group during other seasons, I called it Move to the Left or Right.

Energy level of Christmas Party Game: Low, using chairs in a line.

How to play: Move forward or backward depending on the criteria that is called.  If someone is already occupying that chair, sit on their lap.

Example criteria:

  • Move forward if you are wearing green.
  • If you like eggnog, move forward one chair
  • If you plan to go to church on Christmas eve, move back one chair.

The actual resource of Christmas Party Games for Youth suggests 30 different criteria for this xmas party game.  That should be enough to stir your creativity for more.

As a talking point, you can talk about moving forward or moving backward in life.

As you think about your relationships this past year, have you moved forward or backwards?

As you think about your spiritual life, have you moved forward or backwards?

Did you reach any goals you may have had at the beginning of the year for your spiritual life?

Then you can ask this an application:

Take a few moments to plan where you want to be spiritually at the end of next year.

  • In relationships?
  • In your education?
  • In your career?
  • In some personal goals?
  • In your relationship to God?

This party game for Christmas can be a great ice breaker to start future conversations later over that bowl of eggnog. Your guests might volunteer with you 1-1 where they would like to grow spiritually later that year.

Read more about the  resource of Christmas Party Games for Youth.  It’s a better and more complete resource than my website.

Review: Creative Christmas Party Game Ideas for Youth Groups

I bought my own copy of Creative Youth Ideas Christmas Party Games, and so I’ll be reviewing what it is and what I got.

I’ll review the whole ebook of Christmas Party Games and tell you my thoughts about how it might help you in your Youth Ministry or Young Adult Ministry at your church.

Who is this Christmas Party Game resource for?

Flipping through several of these pages, I am sure that we will be using some of them later this year.

While the Collection of Christmas Party Games is clearly aimed at the church youth group market (youth pastors, middle school leaders, church volunteers), several of these games would be good ice breakers and discussion starters for adults at their Christmas parties.

For example, perhaps your church small groups are planning Christmas party games to help break the conversational ice among potential first time visitors.

Several of these Christmas party game icebreakers would be low key enough for adults to help develop relationships and get the ball going on helping people think about where they want to grow spiritually.

Perhaps you are hosting a Christmas party game night for your neighbor.  Several of these party games for Christmas would fit the bill and provide with a way to help bring forth a Christmas conversation that shares Christ.

Read here for an example of a Christmas Party Game that opens a spiritual discussion.

What comes in the Christmas Party Game Ebook?

This 370+ page ebook would be a perfect help for someone looking for fresh and creative ideas for Christmas parties games for their youth group or young adult outreaches.

You get instant access to over 200

  • Icebreakers
  • Games
  • Object Lessons
  • Devotions
  • Illustrations
  • Humor
  • and Worksheets

These party games for Christmas have suggested locations (indoors, outdoors, field, table, etc) and suggested energy levels (laid back, sits down, or high energy, as examples).

He provides you a list of resources that you will need to play this Christmas party game.

Then the writer gives you clear directions for the leader what to do.

Several have variations on the theme game.

Many have some potential talking points to break the ice, dig deep, and open ways to talk about the meaning of Christmas.

Read here for an example of a Christmas Party Game that opens a spiritual discussion.

Why an ebook of Christmas Party Games?

Candy Cane Games for Christmas PartiesI had a box of candy canes.

I figured I could play a party game with Christmas candy canes.

I was in an office building, away from my collection of books.  Could I find a Christmas party game involving candy canes with my resource books being in another place?

The thought of manually searching  for Candy Cane Christmas games through all my books gathered over the years did not appeal to me.

Been there.  Done that.

I wanted an ebook format to help me scan through the 200+ ideas for Christmas parties.  Open up the book and search for candy canes (I found 8 games right away – no need to open a single book to search for christmas candy cane party games.)

This Christmas Party Idea Ebook (order yours here) is

  • Instantly Searchable (do That with a real book).
  • Even if I search my laptop hard drive for “candy cane” I’ll find this ebook.
  • On my laptop or, phone, or anywhere else I have a PDF reader.
  • No space on my crowded book shelf.
  • No pages to curl or dog ear.
  • Imagine a 337 page brick taking up space to use it 1 month a year.
  • No shipping costs – download instantly
  • Conversational talking points about Christmas- no cheesy websites with stupid Christmas graphics
  • I can print the game I want, not bend the spine of a physical book to make a copy for my leaders.

Who am I?

I'm Chris Walker.    I did youth work in various churches for nearly fifteen years (Methodist, Presbyterian, Assemblies of God), before taking my first associate pastor call in a Presbyterian Church.

After that I helped launch a church for immigrants where I served as the Young Adult leader

I remember each Christmas season trying to come up with various Christmas Party Game ideas that I could use in our youth group or young adult Christmas parties.

It was a routine every Christmas season.

What Christmas Party games can I use that will help me point people to Christ?
