How to Play Christmas Charades

1. Print and cut out the charades cards.
2. Pull out any cards you don’t want to use.
3. Fold them and place them into a bowl or festive container.
4. Split players into two teams.
5. A player from Team 1 picks a card and acts it out without speaking.
6. Their team tries to guess before the timer ends (30–60 seconds works great!).
7. Alternate sides and keep score—or don’t! It’s just as fun to play casually.

Tip: For younger kids, let them act with motions and sound effects, or choose only the easy cards.

If charades aren’t your jam, try having people draw it out instead! Like Pictionary!

Fun Ideas to Make the Game Even Better

• Play in pajamas on Christmas Eve for extra cozy vibes.
• Use Christmas music as a timer.
• Let kids “earn” candy canes for correct guesses.
• Turn it into a relay: after guessing correctly, the next teammate has to jump up and act immediately!
