OPERATION: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Collector’s Edition

The questions are centered around Christmas movie trivia, movie trivia, TV trivia, song trivia, world trivia, Christmas carol trivia, Christmas traditions around the world, and many more.

Draw a Snowman

All you need are paper plates and markers and you’re well on your way to fun. Everyone places their paper plate on their head, holding the plate in one hand and the marker in the other. Then the host gives a series of instructions:

Draw a line for the ground/snow
Draw a large snowball for the base of your snowman.
Create a medium sized snowball on top of the first one.
Cap your snowman with a small snowball for the head.
Draw a carrot nose.
Now add two eyes and a mouth with dots of coal.
Draw a scarf to keep your snowman warm
Add two stick arms and finish your snowman by drawing a top hat on your snowman’s head.

When that’s all done, it’s time to flip the plates over and admire your work!

Fa-la-la-la Foosball

No game room is complete with a foosball table, offering hours of fast-paced fun for people of all ages.

Candy Cane Hook-Em

All that’s required for this game is a deep bowl and a couple dozen wrapped candy canes. Players place a candy cane into their mouth with the curved side out. Then using the candy cane in their mouth, they try and hook another candy cane from the pile to transfer into the bowl.

The catch? No hands allowed.
