Christmas holidays are days to share with your family and fully enjoy your children. There is a lot of free time at home, so we will give you some ideas of Christmas games to do with children.
Christmas of childhood is marked with fire, so try to make these dates unforgettable days for your children. For them, the best gift they can have is to share time with you. With these games you will spend very entertaining moments together, flooded with the Christmas spirit.
The invisible friend
As you know, the invisible friend's game is very simple. The names of the participants are written on small pieces of paper, each one gets his own and that will be his invisible friend, who will give you a surprise gift.
It can be from a drawing to a craft made by ourselves. The idea is that all family members, both large and small, participate.
Crafts
Crafts are creative entertainment that you can share with your children. And in fact you can take the opportunity to make the gift for the invisible friend. Here are some ideas.
It is usually done at the end of November, but if you have not done it yet, you can make a slightly delayed advent calendar that extends until the day of Kings. It is a very fun thing to do for kids.
Here are some ideas to make advent calendars with things you have at home, such as rolls of toilet paper, or wrapping sweets or economic details.
You can also make your own gift wrapping paper, a Christmas garland with leaves, or Christmas crafts made with pineapples. By the way, you take a winter walk through the forest to collect dried leaves and pineapples.
Christmas treasure hunt
It's the treasure hunt of a lifetime, but Christmas themed. When creating the list of things that children should find includes Christmas items such as nougat, Christmas candy, or ornaments that you have previously made.
The clues can also be special, as if it were written by His Majesties the Kings of the East, and you can even help children make a beautiful map of the treasure hunt.
Theater play with the Bethlehem
You can gather several children, cousins, friends, neighbors and represent together a small play with the characters of Bethlehem: Mary, Joseph, Jesus, the Magi, the star of Bethlehem and if there are more children, you can add characters like the ox, the mule, the shepherd, the sheep, the angels.
Think of a short and simple story that children can recreate, or if you have a book it will help you to use it as a kind of script.
The previous days you can occupy them in prepare costumes for the play. Children will love it, and you can even record them so they have a nice memory.
Represent a Christmas story
It is similar to the Bethlehem theater but with some Christmas story that you have bought, or a movie that you have seen, or better yet with an invented story.
My daughters loved the movie Arthur Christmas last year and spent all their vacations playing what they were the characters in the movie.
Guess the carol
You cut out about ten pieces of paper and write a key word on each of them, for example "Virgin", "Bethlehem", "fish".
You put them in a box and the child has to choose a piece of paper, without looking, of course. Then you have to Sing a Christmas carol with the word that has touched you.
Cooking with children is also a game.
Put the children in the kitchen It can be very entertaining if you take it as a game. Without stress because they get stained, because things do not turn out perfect, but designed for the enjoyment of the family and in order to spend an entertaining time.
You can prepare some delicious carrot and zucchini muffins for Christmas Eve dinner or Christmas cookies
Christmas Surprise
You must have prepared in advance a package in the form of a ball made of newspaper. A Christmas surprise is wrapped with a leaf and thus the ball is formed by always placing a treat with each leaf and fixing it with zeal.
To play, you have to sit the children in the round, play music and let them pass the ball. When the music stops the child who has the ball in his hands has to remove a cape and find the treat. The game is repeated several times until the ball falls apart and the goodies are over. The duration of the game will depend on the layers that the ball has.
I hope the Christmas games to do with children We propose you to be entertained. The idea is to share moments together, forget the routine and obligations and devote yourself completely to the enjoyment of your children.
If there are others Christmas games that you do at home with your children, we encourage you to share them with us in the comments of the post, so that other parents can play with their children.
