one of these days i will prepare for classroom parties more than 48 hours before hand.
i don’t foresee that day nearby though.
so hopefully you guys are just getting around to planning your classroom parties…cause i got a whole slew of fun ideas!!!!
*****************************
Pin the Nose on rudolph
made this for my sister in law (i’m doing a fifth grade party…a little to old for this..)
************************
**********************
*************************
*****************
snowball toss (using marshmallows!)
************************
***************************
find santa’s helpers. print these off and cut out…hide around the room and see who can find them first!
******************************
wrap the tree *using crepe papersource
***********************
candy cane pass
break into teams and the first team to pass one candy cane through the line -only using candy canes -wins!
**************************
Bingo
************************************
there are sooo many fun printables to make really intricate fun snowflakes…print some out and let those kids go scissor happy!
**********************
ring the reindeer….
*********************

build a snowman
this is a game we used to play growing up. you close your eyes (or turn off the lights) and one person will tell you what to draw….like draw one big circle. draw a medium circle. draw a small circle on top. draw a square on top of the three circles. draw a triangle in the middle of the small circle…(you get the idea right!)
and then when you finish you see your “creation” the hat is like 2 inches left of the circle and the nose is in the middle of the belly. so fun!
(edited to add:
found this fun idea where you put a paper plate on your head and have to draw it (that way you know no one is cheating)
she also has a point system…so much fun! go check it out!
it would be fun to do everyone’s hands and then give it to the teacher or hang on the classroom door!
******************
i never now how time  is going to go at these things…so i love having a few extras like mad libs in case we have a few spare minutes!

you can go HERE to my halloween games –tons can be adapted to christmas!
like the pumpkin bowling…cover some styrofoam balls with batting (now you have snowballs) Â and decorate the cans with santa, elf, rudolph, candy cane , tree, star ect…BAM now you have christmas bowling!
