Christmas Party Game: Hershey Kisses

Christmas party food and gift
Everyone enjoys Hershey’s Chocolate Kisses at their Christmas party. At my house, the red and green bags are dumped into a bowl that we pick at during the entire party.

Supplies: Bowls, bags of Hershey Kisses. Oversized mittens or gloves, one pair for each team.

Setup: Have two bowls of Hershey’s kisses at the other end of the room.

To play this Christmas Party Game

For this Christmas party game, divide your group into two teams.

Give each team one set of the oversized gloves.

The first person in line runs to the bowl of Hershey kisses. They are to take one and to unwrap the Hershey Kiss while wearing the oversized mittens/gloves and pop the kiss into their mouth (unless they are allergic to chocolate).

They run back, tag the next person in line, and exchange the mittens/gloves and the next person runs forward to get a chocolate kiss.

The winning team of this Christmas party game is the one in which all members have enjoyed a Hershey kiss.

Charades Christmas Party Game for Church Groups

This Christmas party game is a classic game of Charades that can easily be adapted to a christmas party for your church.

The only preparation or modification you need to make for younger players is in the selection of simpler one word topics.

Christmas Party Charades  for Children:

  • Select a few simple Christmas words and phrases for the children to act out.
  • Have every one of  children sit on the floor while one child stands in front.
  • Whisper to the child what Christmas word he or she is to mime and let the other children guess.
  • Once the correct answer is guessed a new actor is selected and play continues.

Christmas Party Charades for Older Children:

  • Have them Brainstorm a list of 10-15 Christmas topics that the other team will perform.
  • Screen and sort the two groups of christmas themed topics for 3 levels of difficulty.
  • Assign a higher point value for the most difficult christmas themes.  This is a game of points for the teams!
  • Then break the youth or middle schoolers into teams.
  • Each team then selects the desired difficulty level and the volunteer draws a topic from the stack that the other group made.
  • One player tries to act out the Christmas themed clue for his or her team to guess.
  • There is no stealing because the opposing teams created the clues. At the end of play, the team with the most points wins.

Variations

  • Use Christmas Carols as a category instead of broad Christmas party topics.
  • Use Christmas events from Scriptures as a choice of topics.  Some of the scenes can be broken into further scenes.  Be sure that if you have people familiar with the bible scattered among the teams.  Discuss any insights that might arise from these Christmas charades.
