Ugly Sweater Party Games
Snowballed
2 – 3 rolls of clear packing tape, lots of small prizes
/ wrapped candy. 2 dice
Players to try and unwrap the snowball
while it is their turn.
Before the party start to make a large round ball (snowball!) by
wrapping the packing tape around and around itself.
When you have a round base, about 2” diameter, start to add candy
and prizes one at a time as you wrap the tape around the ball.
When you are done the ball should be large and have candy and
prizes inside in layers.
Players sit in a circle and the ball
is given to one player and the dice to the player next to
them. On “go” the
player holding the ball tires to unwrap the
tape to get to a prize.
While the 1st player is trying to unwrap the ball the
player with the dice is rolling over and over trying to get doubles.
When the dice land on doubles the ball goes to the player that
was rolling the dice and they begin to try and unwrap a prize.
Players get to keep any prizes they unwrap.
The dice are passed to the next person.
This is a fun and fast paced game!
Freeze Out!
Ugly Holiday t-shirts, gallon Ziploc bags
Prep time the day before the party
The day before the party wet down the t-shirts with water and place in gallon size Ziploc bags. Fill the Ziploc bags with water, seal and freeze overnight. During the party break party guests into teams and give each team a shirt in a Ziploc bag. On "go" teams have to unfreeze the t-shirt by using only their hands, breath or bodies. The first team that unfreezes their shirt enough tso that one team member can put it on wins! place small toys inside an ice cube tray, fill with water and freeze. This game is fun and challenging!
For a quicker game or for younger children freeze small prizes in large ice cube trays overnight instead of using the t-shirts.
Christmas Antlers
Pantyhose / balloons (not inflated)
Split players into two or three teams and give each team a bag of balloons and a pair of pantyhose. The teams must blow up balloons and stuff them into pair of pantyhose. When the team feels their pantyhose antlers are complete, one person from the team puts on the pantyhose. The team with the best antlers wins!
Red Christmas Tree
36 Red Solo type plastic cups
One at a time, give a player 36 red solo cups to stack into a pyramid, or Christmas tree, and then take back down again.
