Nasty christmas game

What a great idea! I totally could see doing this for a church, kids, Christmas party. Thanks so much for sharing! I think we will try t5hat this year. Thank you for sharing Such a fun game idea! It would take a bit of thought to put together all of those funny slips of paper but I bet everyone was laughing the entire time. This is so creative. I love it. I wish I had an ounce of your creativity! Blessings and Merry Christmas!

I sat the boards in a chair and leaned the board against the chair back. I hope this helps. Have fun! This looks like an amazing game since I have such a big family - however if they can pick any one what if it doesn't relate to that person? What exactly happens in that situation? Great question Jane. The best thing you could do is just laugh it off.

The game is supposed to be silly. I am not quite sure what you are asking Jamie. I think she mixed the Naughty and the Nice cups up on both sides of the board. Each person can "punch" any cup they'd like. Thank you Katie. I was looking for inspiration for our girlfriend's ornament exchange. I've done some creative games in the past years and now I feel like I have to keep it going. Everyone then picked what they wanted and it determined what kind of Santa they were.

It was a hoot! I think I can personalize this game well for us and they will enjoy it. Thanks so much for sharing. What Kind of Santa Are You? Thanks for sharing your idea, Terrie! I hope you have just as much fun with naughty or nice!

I took your idea and tweaked it just a bit for our adult Christmas party. I had our party-goers roll dice and whoever got doubles got to punch a hole. Last year, I just didn't have the time to commit to all the cute naughty and nice sayings.

The dice idea which I, of course, stole from someone else too added a level of competition that the adults liked while making it fair for everyone. Also, I just hot glued the tissue paper to the rim of the cup and then trimmed the excess paper instead of using the rubber bands; it seemed to work fine. I felt this went well with our small group because tissues in the wintertime in Central Illinois can come in handy anyway, but it was fun to watch the "nice" people scratch their ticket to see if they were a winner again.

Thank you for the idea; I will use it again this year. I love this Jennifer!! I love how you adapted the game to work best for your group and the dice do sound like a lot of fun!

Hi Katie! So cute! Will be using this for my next year's party, or maybe before Christmas! Great idea! We had the most fun with this game Seems to me everyone would take the nice cup. How do you determine which cup one takes? I must have missed a step.

The Naughty and Nice cups are mixed on the boards. The player chooses a cup and they may pick a nice or they may pick a naughty. The strip of paper inside and the contents of the cup will tell them if they are naughty or nice. Correct, you don't know if you are naughty or nice till you pull out what is inside. I just needed two boards to fit all of the cups for my entire extended family, but you might not need that many for your party. I can't wait to play this game at my annual Moms club party.

For the naughty I plan on using condoms, mini bottles, aspirin The ones on your link is mostly for kids. Any ideas that are more adult, but clean? I've tried to Google them, but I'm not having much luck. Any ideas? Thank you!! I would suggest to base it off of your group. Each group is different. Maybe put some real-life experiences into the cups to make it more fun. Trying to figure out how to adapt this for a smaller group And a couple of those are maybes.

Any suggestions? Or is it just made-up stuff? I found your game last year and played it with my family. Everyone buys from the same place, either from one store, flea market, thrift store, Grocery Outlet, or Craigslist. Each guest brings a gift card of the same value to a store of their choice, or from a list provided by the host.

This ensures a more equal playing field but can result in some fun stealing for more desirable cards. All gifts in the Dirty Santa Gift Exchange are selected and swapped before any are opened. If there is enough time some groups allow infinite swapping at the end of the game, in hopes that each person will end up with the item they want the most. If you want to add a little more mystery and guessing to your game, have guests write a clue about their gift on the outside.

Another idea is to have people guess who brought their gift, and perhaps get a small prize from the host if they guess correctly. Player 1 does have the advantage of being able to choose any gift on the table. The Dirty Santa or White Elephant game is fun and entertaining. Dirty Santa Gifts should be first and foremost entertaining.

But what would be the fun in that? Here are a handful of Dirty Santa gift exchange ideas to get you started. Click through on the gifts themselves or dedicated articles elsewhere at our website. Quirky gadgets make for fun White Elephant gifts. Everyone loves gadgets for the home, traveling, camping, or for wasting time in the office. The great thing about giving a gadget as a gift is that they are usually useful and more likely to be something a person will actually enjoy and use.

Among Dirty Santa gift ideas , kitchen gadgets are particularly popular, as well as gadgets for camping. Some of the best Naughty Santa gift exchange parties usually involve one or two hilarious gifts that have everyone rolling on the floor. While it may seem juvenile, sometimes the funny gag gifts are the ones that get passed around the most. Want to make the party guests crack up? Ridiculous, right? I mean, whoever thought of this? You never know who is going to fall in love with the Jeff Goldbum Shower Curtain someone brought.

Strange, but intriguing and perfect for those guests with a twisted sense of humor. You have to determine who goes first and who follows. To do this, have guests draw numbers from abowl, then arrange everyone around the gifts for easy, clockwise gift swapping and opening action! Each player must open an unopened gift or steal from previously opened gifts. If the game does not allow stealing until all gifts have been opened, then have everyone open gifts in the order of the drawn numbers, then let the person with number 1 do the first stealing.

If the gift is stollen from you, it is your turn to steal another gift or open an unopened gift, but you can not steal the gift just taken from you right away. You must wait for another opportunity to strike. Themes for gifts can make gift buying more predictable and easy. A group of students may decde to run a theme of book swapping and your grandma may decide that it should all be about hard liquor!

To extend the gift swapping period, add a timer to the end of the game. When all the gifts have been opened, gifts must be stollen from eachother until the timer countdown is completed.

With large party groups the time may really stretch until all gifts are opened, so it's a good idea to not allow stealing until all of the presents have been opened. This is also an example where game end timer may come in handy. A common optional rule is to have a 3 strikes early out for gifts or player. This means that if a gift is stolen 3 times, or the player gets stollen from 3 times, the gift that they are holding will be theirs and they are out of the game.

The ending of the game would depend on the rules that you want to use. The basic idea is that the game should end when everyone gets a chance to open and steal a gift.

The game should not be too quick to leave a feeling of not enough time was spend playing but also should not be too long and bore everyone to death. Striking a balance when it comes to duration of the Dirty Santa game does not have to be hard. If the group is too large, then not allowing swaps before all the gifts have been opened would make the whole exchange more consise and well timed. We usually have two Dirty Santa parties to go to, one with my family and one at work. Both play out very similarly because the number of people playing is roughly the same.

Let's say that there are 12 people playing. What would happen at the game and how would it all go down? First, you announce the date for the party. With our family, we usually meet on Chritmas day and exchange gifts after dinner. Our office party however is a week or two prior to christmas during the weekend. Announce the date to your group and give them rules.
