A Christmas party ain’t a Christmas party without games that bring out our best competitive selves.
In case you’re cramming your Holiday festivities in these last two weeks before Christmas and have got no time to run and get props for these games, look no further!
These no-prep, no-prop ideas are perfect for last-minute fun and guaranteed to keep your guests laughing and participating to the very end!
The best part? They’re simple enough for everyone to enjoy, from kids to adults.
1. In and Out, Left and Right
@youthalive.acacia PART 1 | YA PALARO – In & Out, Left & Right Game #fyp #gamesnotiktok ? original sound – Youth Alive Acacia-Tinajeros
Instruct the players to form a circle and hold hands. The facilitator will make commands (in, out, left, or right), which players should quickly and correctly follow. Any player who hesitates, moves in the wrong direction, or loses grip of another player’s hand is eliminated.
The game repeats until only one player remains. Best played after a drink or two — wink wink.
2. Game of Wits
@arjaymarbella GAME OF WITS ???????? #youth #motivationalactivity #Icebreaker #fyp #tiktokviral ? original sound – Arjay Marbella
Here’s a game that has no room for hesitation.
Game of Wits will have players standing in a line and counting from 1 to sawa. They will have to “own” the number they call out by sitting down.
They get eliminated if two or more players call the same number at the same time, or if they are the last to call out number.
After each elimination, a new round starts from the beginning. The game continues until one or two players remain as winners.
3. Pass the Number
@knarftenser Christmas Game Ideas super funny game
Just like in the game Pass the Message, players are divided into two or more teams, with each team forming a line. The facilitator gives each team a unique 3-digit number to pass using facial gestures: winks represent the hundreds, kissy faces represent the tens, and tongue-out faces represent the ones.
Players must silently pass the number to the next teammate in line using only these gestures. No speaking or using other signals!
The last player in line writes or says the 3-digit number aloud. The first team to correctly relay the number to the last player and get it right wins the game.
4. Funny Face-off

Christmas song “Let’s decorate” – 3KTrack
Funny Face-off starts with two players facing each other with a makeshift divider between them (e.g., a hand, a paper plate). When the divider is removed, both players make their funniest faces at each other.
The first person to laugh loses the round, and the game continues with other players in a tournament style until one person remains as the champion.
5. Telepathy Test

Ask the players to form pairs and stand back to back. Each pair will be given a category (e.g., fruits, colors, Christmas songs), and after a countdown from 3, the pair will face each other and say their answer at the same time.
Pairs must say the same answer to stay in the game. If they don’t, they are out. The last pair remaining wins.
