Hand out the quiz questions to all the groups upside down. When you say go have the teams flip it over and start filling in the answers.

4. Christmas Scavenger Hunts for Lights & Home

Get your guests up and moving with a fun Christmas Scavenger Hunt. There are two different printable scavenger hunts, one to do at home and one to do while visiting Holiday Light Displays.

You'll get both versions with our free printable Christmas Scavenger Hunt.

Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt

The Christmas Lights Scavenger Hunt will get you out of the house and help you explore local neighborhoods or holiday events.

Head to a local neighborhood where all the houses are decorated or a Holiday Light Display in your area, such as the Zoo or Botanical Gardens. Check off all the items on your scavenger hunt list while you explore.

If you're in the Chicago area, here are our favorite Christmas Light Displays In Chicago to do the scavenger hunt.

Scavenger Hunt at Home

You can also choose to do the scavenger hunt at home to get into the holiday spirit. This version gives you holiday items to search for in your house and is a blast for kids of all ages.

To play at Christmas get-togethers, give the entire family a list and see who can find all the items first. Or give a time limit and see who found the most items in, say 2 Minutes, for example.

If the group is large, you could split up into teams to play and make it a competition.

It's a fun game to play on Christmas Eve when the kids are hyped up and excited for Santa to come.

Virtual Scavenger Hunt

If you can't be in person this year with family or friends, plan a Virtual Christmas Party. You can easily do this as a Zoom Scavenger Hunt by emailing the list ahead of time and asking each family not to look at the list.

When you're on Zoom, tell everyone when to start, and have each family search their own house for Holiday items on the list. Whichever family is back to the Zoom camera first with the list completed wins.

5. Christmas Pictionary Word List

A great group game is Christmas Pictionary with teams at parties. Or have some family fun with a Pictionary family game night.

All you'll need is the Christmas Pictionary Word List, a large pad of paper, and markers. We like to use the Table Top Easel Pads so everyone can see what you're drawing.

How to Play - Cut up the Pictionary cards, fold each card over, and place them in a bowl. Teams then decided the order in which they would take turns drawing cards.

Each team will have one minute to draw what's on their card and see if their teammates can guess it correctly. If they guess correctly, their team gets 1 point.

If they do not guess correctly, the other team gets one guess to see if they know the answer. They will then get the point instead if they guess correctly.

The game ends when all the players have drawn one time. If your group is competitive, make sure to keep track of the points to determine the winning team.

Each team has 1 minute to act out the word on the card and have their team members guess. If they get it right, the team gets 1 point.

If they don't get it right, the other team has one guess to get the word correct. Then that team will get the point if they get it correct.

Have each team give everyone a chance to act out a word. Once everyone has gone, the winner is the team with the most points.
