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 paper

***********************
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….
(can’t find the source)

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) and decorate the cans with santa, elf, rudolph, candy cane , tree, star ect…BAM now you have christmas bowling!
