Why it works as a party game

Christmas is a pile of titles people already know. Charades is the party game that spends them.

How to play

  1. Write 16 prompts: carols, films, and kitchen jobs.
  2. One-minute turns, no talking.
  3. A hit scores. Draw again if time remains.
  4. First to eight wins.

Hosting tips

  • Humming the carol is a different game. Do not allow it here.
  • Keep a kids' hat of only reindeer and cookies.
  • Stand clear of the tree.
