Christmas Party Games
Twelve Days Memory Party Game
Recite the growing list of gifts. Miss one and you are out.
- Players
- 4–12
- Time
- 10–20 min
- What you need
- The carol, or a written list of the twelve gifts
Why it works as a party game
The carol is already a memory game. Christmas party games do not get a cleaner gift than that.
How to play
- Go around the circle. Player one says the partridge line.
- Each next player adds the next day and repeats the whole chain.
- A miss sits that player out.
- Last player in wins, or stop at day twelve together for a group win.
Hosting tips
- Print the list for a mixed-age first round, then hide it.
- Allow the group to sing the melody if that helps.
- Day seven is where most rooms die. Enjoy that.
