Finding the best Christmas party game for your event is easier than you think. Once you assess how many guests you expect to attend and the age groups, you can plan out your entertainment from there. Ask yourself these questions when choosing the perfect game for your party crowd:

  • How many guests are attending? Before choosing a game, think about how many guests are expected to come to your Christmas party. The larger the party, the more inclusive the game will need to be. You should opt for playing games where you can divide guests into large teams if you’ll have more than 20 participants.
  • Will there be kids at the party? Make sure to set aside activities for kid attendees and assign a responsible chaperone to the kids’ table. This way, adults will be able to enjoy themselves during their respective games.
  • Do most of the guests know each other? Your answer to this question is key as you’ll need to include icebreaker games if most of your guests don’t know each other. Icebreaker games are fun and can lighten the mood so everyone feels comfortable at the start of your party.
