Note: If you have players with over a year age difference, you can even the playing field with a time limit for older players. Also, you can close the age gap with a greater distance to the game board for older players. Also, you can require additional spins for older players and fewer or no spins for the young children. Christmas Game for Kids Blindfolds Ready: Have blindfolds on hand to ramp up the challenge and stir up giggles as players fumble their way to pinning the nose.

If you're looking for inventive ways to celebrate the holiday at home this year, there are plenty of fun games that you can play with the family. This Pin the Tail on the Donkey type game is just right for kid’s Christmas parties and events. Pin the Nose on the Reindeer or even pin the Carrot on the Snowman are easy games that most kids know how to play and already have had fun playing. There is some assembly work needed for this reindeer game printable and I am going to do my best to talk you through it with a diagram to illustrate the steps. Spin it Up: For an extra dash of challenge, spin the player around a couple of times before setting them off towards Rudolph. Take turns letting each player attempt to place their pom-pom on Rudolph’s face, as close to the center of the nose as possible.Determining who gets to go first in a playful and fair manner can add to the fun and excitement of the game. Here are some creative suggestions: As with pretty much all my printables I’ve provided two paper sizes – A4 and US Letter (8.5″ x 11″) – use which size is appropriate for your printer. It’s a great way to get in the holiday spirit! We’ve also found most kids cheer each other on like they are a team members. It’s really sweet to see! Is there anything better than your siblings/cousins/friends/classmates cheering a child’s name in encouragement?

Incorporate a Hanukkah tradition by spinning a dreidel; the player with the highest resulting letter goes first.Keep your players in mind when hanging up Rudolph. When you’re playing with younger kids, he’ll need to be closer to the ground than when you’re playing with older kids.

Set the Stage: Find a clear open space on a wall to hang Rudolph. Keep the height in consideration depending on the age of the players; lower for little ones and higher for the older kids. This Pin the Nose on Rudolph game is the perfect Christmas party game for kids. It’s a simple classic that children love every time!
