18 Elementary Christmas Party Games Teachers Rely On

If you need elementary Christmas party games that work with 20 to 30 wiggly kids, survive the sugar rush, and leave your classroom looking roughly the way it did that morning, this list is for you. These are whole-class games for grades 1-5 that the teacher runs, that make very little mess, and that kids actually enjoy (plus one calm coloring contest, because every party needs a breather).

Every game is quick to explain and easy to clean up. None of them need glue, glitter, or rearranged furniture. I mixed active, printable, and quiet games so your party can move from loud to calm and back again. And if you are also sorting out a classroom gift exchange, the Christmas gift guide for everyone might help.

1. Christmas Kahoot Quiz

Kahoot is the easiest way to open a class party. Put it on the projector, have students join on school tablets or computers with a game PIN, and run a fast Christmas trivia quiz about Santa, reindeer, holiday traditions, and Christmas movies. Every kid plays at the same time, and the leaderboard between questions gets the whole room cheering. It works best for grades 2-5, and first graders can manage with a neighbor’s help.

Search Kahoot’s free library for “Christmas trivia kids” and you will find ready-made quizzes with 10 to 20 questions at the right level, so your only prep is connecting the projector. For grades 4-5, add a five-question custom round in Kahoot’s free editor with questions about your school, your class pet, or your class traditions. Students join at kahoot.it from any browser, and setup takes about two minutes.

The noise here is the good kind, because everyone is reacting to the same screen at once. Kahoot keeps score for you, and the short pause between questions gives you a moment to breathe. Hand a small candy prize to the top three, or skip prizes, since the leaderboard is usually enough. It is the loudest game on this list that needs no floor space and no cleanup.

2. Christmas Bingo

Bingo is a class party classic for good reason. Every student plays at once, all eyes stay on you as the caller, and the room erupts when someone shouts “Bingo!” Each student gets a unique 5×5 card with 24 Christmas words and a FREE space in the center. You call words from a shuffled list, and students mark matching squares with a penny, a dot sticker, or a pencil X. The first student to complete a row, column, or diagonal wins. For grades 1-2, hold up a picture card as you call each word. For grades 3-5, read a riddle clue instead of the word.

Print one unique card per student before the party. Free generators like myfreebingocards.com let you paste in a 24-word list and download 30 different cards as a PDF in a few minutes. Word list: REINDEER, SNOWFLAKE, STOCKING, ELF, CANDY CANE, MISTLETOE, CHIMNEY, ORNAMENT, SLEIGH, HOLLY, TINSEL, GINGERBREAD, NUTCRACKER, CAROL, PRESENT, MITTENS, WREATH, BLIZZARD, COCOA, FROSTY, STAR, BELLS, NORTH POLE, RUDOLPH. Cut a second copy of the list into slips for your calling bag. A handful of pennies per student works as markers and takes seconds to collect.

For grades 3-5, play three rounds with different patterns: a straight line, then four corners, then a full card. That stretches the game to about 15 minutes and gives more kids a win. Riddle calls keep older students on their toes, for example “I have antlers and I pull Santa’s sleigh” for REINDEER. Expect them to ask for another round before you have collected the cards.

3. Christmas Heads Up 7 Elves

This is Heads Up, Seven Up with an elf twist, and grades 1-5 love it. It also buys you a few minutes of near silence. Pick seven students to be elves and have them stand at the front. Everyone else puts their head down on the desk with one thumb up. Say “Heads down, elves out!” Each elf tiptoes around the room, gently presses down one student’s thumb, and goes back to the front. Then say “Heads up, seven up!” The seven tapped students stand, and each one gets one guess at which elf picked them. A correct guess means the guesser and that elf swap places for the next round.

There is nothing to print or prepare. Push chairs in a little so the elves can walk the aisles without bumping desks. With 25 or more kids, stick to one guess per student and reveal the answer right away so the guessing part doesn’t drag. For grades 4-5, tell the elves to walk past a few desks before tapping so their footsteps don’t give them away.

Most kids already know the rules, so you barely need to explain anything. Every student is either sneaking or guessing, and the sneaking phase is naturally quiet. Bring in a new set of elves each round and you can fill 10 to 12 minutes at a calm pace.

4. Christmas Word Search

A Christmas word search looks simple, but it keeps a whole class focused, and it works for grades 1-5. The sheet hides 15 Christmas words that run across, down, and diagonally, with a word bank printed under the grid. Students race to circle them all before time runs out. Use it as a timed solo challenge, as a race with a desk neighbor, or as a quiet activity while you handle other party jobs. First graders might find eight words and fifth graders all fifteen, on the same sheet.

Print one sheet per student and hand out pencils. For the race version, put a five-minute countdown on the board and have students write the time they finish at the bottom of the sheet. Collect the finished sheets and draw one for a small prize. The 15 words are REINDEER, SNOWBALL, STOCKING, CHIMNEY, PRESENTS, BLIZZARD, MISTLETOE, CAROLING, TINSEL, ORNAMENT, SLEIGH, FROSTY, GINGERBREAD, HOLLY, and ELVES. For fast finishers, write a bonus on the board: “Find the smaller words hiding inside the big ones.” SNOW and BALL are inside SNOWBALL, MIST is inside MISTLETOE, and BREAD is inside GINGERBREAD.

The timer and the prize draw turn a quiet worksheet into a friendly competition. Keep a class set in a folder as a backup, too. If a game ends early or a transition runs long, hand the sheets out and the room settles right away.

5. Christmas Charades

Watching a third grader silently act out Rudolph’s red nose while 25 classmates shout guesses is the kind of fun no app can copy. One student draws a prompt (or you whisper one to them), acts it out without words or sounds, and the class guesses until someone gets it or 60 seconds run out. Grades 1-2 do well with “wrapping a present,” “eating a candy cane,” and “building a snowman.” Grades 3-5 can take on “Santa sliding down a chimney,” “reindeer taking off from a roof,” and “opening stockings on Christmas morning.”

Write 20-25 prompts on folded slips and drop them in a gift bag. Split the class into two teams and alternate actors. A correct guess in under 30 seconds earns two points, 30 to 60 seconds earns one, and after 60 seconds nobody scores. Keep a tally on the board. More prompts: decorating the tree, making a snow angel, skiing, ringing jingle bells, riding a sleigh, hanging stockings, drinking hot cocoa, putting up Christmas lights, feeding reindeer, building a gingerbread house, playing with a new toy, waking up on Christmas morning, caroling door to door, and eating fruitcake (the disgusted face is always a highlight).

With a big class, try team charades for grades 3-5, where two actors from the same team mime together. You need half as many rounds, and it is twice as funny. A countdown timer on the projector adds tension and saves you from watching the clock. My favorite charades moment was a kid miming “North Pole” by spinning in circles with one arm up. The class guessed “tornado.”

6. Christmas Word Scramble

The Christmas Word Scramble is a printable race for grades 2-5 that sneaks in some spelling practice. Each student gets a sheet with 15 scrambled Christmas words and tries to solve all of them before the timer runs out. There are no teams and no hands up, just heads down and pencils moving. The words get harder as the sheet goes on, from short ones like EERT (TREE) and FGSIT (GIFTS) to long ones like KTEUCCNRAR (NUTCRACKER) and RGGEBADIERN (GINGERBREAD) that stretch your strongest spellers.

Print one sheet per student and put a five-minute timer on the projector. When time is up, go over the answers together. Students compare, cheer, and groan, which turns the answer check into a mini game of its own. The full list, with the answer key printed in small type at the bottom of the sheet: 1. EERT (TREE), 2. FGSIT (GIFTS), 3. LLHOY (HOLLY), 4. SEBLL (BELLS), 5. OCCAO (COCOA), 6. EISGHL (SLEIGH), 7. AHWTRE (WREATH), 8. ELACND (CANDLE), 9. TITMNES (MITTENS), 10. GIKSTNCO (STOCKING), 11. DIERRNEE (REINDEER), 12. WOAFNLEKS (SNOWFLAKE), 13. TMIETSLEO (MISTLETOE), 14. KTEUCCNRAR (NUTCRACKER), 15. RGGEBADIERN (GINGERBREAD).

Strong readers often finish all 15 with time to spare, so give them an extra task: write a sentence using their favorite word. Students who need more support can still solve the first eight or ten on their own. Give a small prize (a sticker, a pencil, or a candy cane) to everyone who gets all 15 right. You will probably have several winners, and cleanup is just collecting papers.

7. Silent Snowball (Pass and Freeze)

Silent Snowball works like hot potato with a paper snowball. Students sit in a circle or stay at their desks and pass a crumpled sheet of paper while Christmas music plays. When the music stops, whoever is holding the snowball does a silly holiday dare from a list on the board. Nobody throws and nobody runs, just a quiet pass that builds a surprising amount of suspense. Good dares: sing the first line of Jingle Bells, say Merry Christmas in two languages, do your best reindeer impression, moonwalk three steps, say all of Santa’s reindeer names as fast as you can, or make your best surprised Christmas morning face. It works for grades 1-5, and you stay in control the whole time.

Setup takes about a minute. Crumple one sheet of scratch paper into a snowball, or make two if you have more than 25 kids so the action moves faster. Write 10-12 dares on the whiteboard where everyone can see them, because reading the list is half the fun. Play a Christmas playlist through the classroom speaker, pause it at random, and point to the student holding the snowball to pick a dare.

The silent part is what makes it work. Students have to stay quiet to hear the music stop, so you get tense, hushed seconds in a room of 28 kids. Older classes tend to keep each other quiet because nobody wants to miss the stop. Restless kids get to move their hands without leaving their seats, and cleanup is tossing one or two paper balls in the recycling bin.

8. Roll-a-Snowman (Dice)

Roll-a-Snowman is a printable dice-and-draw game. Students take turns rolling a die and drawing the snowman part that matches the number: 1 is the bottom ball, 2 the middle ball, 3 the head, 4 the hat, 5 the arms, and 6 the face (eyes, carrot nose, and smile). Parts can go on in any order, and a hat floating over an empty spot while it waits for its head is part of the fun. If you roll a part you already drew, you pass the die to the next player. The first student to finish a whole snowman wins. Because it is all luck, a first grader has the same chance as a fifth grader. The whole class plays at once in groups of 3-4, and the room fills with the sound of rolling dice and happy groaning.

Print one sheet per student. It has a big blank drawing space, a dice key in the corner, and a name line at the top. You need one die per group, which you can borrow from classroom board games or ask families for on a supply note the week before. Set a five-minute timer. If nobody has finished when it rings, the student with the most parts drawn wins the group round. Two or three rounds fill 10 to 15 minutes, and the finished snowmen make a cute bulletin board afterward.

For grades 4-5, add a steal rule: when you roll a part you already have, you can cross out that part on another player’s sheet instead of passing, and they have to roll for it again. It turns a sweet, quiet game into a surprisingly competitive one. Either way, the only supplies are dice and paper, and once the rules are clear the game runs itself, so you are free to walk around and enjoy a cookie.

9. Reindeer Pom-Pom Relay

This is a relay race where nobody runs. Split the class into four teams using your existing desk rows. The first student in each row gets a red pom-pom, which is Rudolph’s nose. On “Go!” the first student balances the pom-pom on the back of their hand and tips it onto the back of the next student’s hand, and so on down the row. No grabbing and no cupping. If the pom-pom falls, the student who dropped it picks it up and tries again from their seat. The first row to get Rudolph’s nose to the last student wins. It is funny to watch, the kids waiting their turn get very invested, and everyone stays in their seat.

You need four red pom-poms from a craft aisle or dollar store, or balled-up red tissue paper if you have none. Show the back-of-the-hand pass before you start, because kids will try to palm it. Run three heats and keep team points on the board, which fills 10 to 12 minutes. For grades 1-2, allow a flat open palm instead. It is still tricky but less frustrating for small hands.

It is one of the few active games on this list that stays quiet and tidy. Kids stay seated, the relay stays inside the desk rows, and balancing a pom-pom on the back of your hand is harder than it looks, so there is real suspense and plenty of cheering. And if you are also planning the rest of your December spending, these 7 Ways to Budget for Christmas might help.

10. Christmas Riddles

Christmas Riddles is a printable brain teaser sheet for grades 2-5 with twelve Christmas riddles, each with an answer line. They are the kind that make a fourth grader stare at the ceiling for a moment before the big “Oh!” A few from the sheet: “I wear lights and a star, and presents wait under me” (a Christmas tree), “I come in pairs, keep fingers warm, and get lost without each other” (mittens), and “I am made of snow, but I wear a hat and scarf. I melt when the sun comes out” (a snowman).

Print one sheet per student and give eight minutes of silent solving. Then reveal the answers one at a time on the projector or by calling on students, which turns the answer check into a game of its own. The twelve answers are Christmas tree, mittens, reindeer, snowman, candy cane, stocking, elf, present, chimney, star, jingle bell, and North Pole, and the key is printed in small type at the bottom of the sheet. A bonus box asks students to write their own Christmas riddle, which keeps fast finishers busy. Read the best ones aloud and save a few for next year’s party.

The riddle sheet works well in the middle of a party when you need to go from loud to calm without losing the fun. The quiet solving time settles the room, and the reveal brings the energy back up. A first grader working through the first few riddles with a partner and a fifth grader writing a bonus riddle are both busy with the same sheet.

11. Desk Ornament Pass

Desk Ornament Pass is a seated game that sounds too simple and still gets the whole class invested. Students sit in a big circle, or you use the desk rows as one long passing chain. Hand out four or five shatterproof plastic ornaments at different spots. When the music plays, students pass the ornaments to the right using only their non-dominant hand. When the music stops, anyone holding an ornament is out and moves to the “Nice List” cheering section. Take one ornament away after each round and keep going until one player is left.

You only need a handful of shatterproof plastic ornaments, so they can live in your party box for years. Soft substitutes work too: balled-up red socks, mini stuffed animals, or beanbags from the PE closet. The non-dominant hand rule is what makes the game tricky, and it evens things out between fast and slow passers.

Kids want to pass fast so they are not caught holding an ornament, but moving fast with the wrong hand leads to fumbles, slow-motion drops, and wild catches. Students who are out cheer for the ones still in, so nobody sits there bored. Keep each round to a minute or two and you can play several rounds in about ten minutes. Cleanup is one small box of ornaments.

12. Christmas Math Facts Race

The Christmas Math Facts Race is real math practice dressed up as a party game, and kids love it because it is a race. The sheet has 30 Christmas problems in three tiers: problems 1-10 are addition and subtraction for grades 1-2, problems 11-20 are multiplication for grades 3-4, and problems 21-30 are division for grade 5. Each problem has a holiday story, like “8 elves + 7 elves” or “6 streets x 9 houses,” so it feels less like a test. Students solve as many as they can in six minutes, and their score is the number they got right.

Print one sheet per student. Tell grades 1-2 to focus on the first tier, grades 3-4 on the second, and grade 5 on the third, or let everyone start at problem 1 and go as far as they can. Set a six-minute timer. When it rings, show the answers on the board (the key is printed at the bottom of the sheet) and let students mark their own work with a colored pencil. Anyone who gets all 30 right earns a Math Elf Champion sticker.

Teachers of mixed-ability classes like this one because every student races against their own score rather than against classmates. And if the principal walks in mid-party, you can honestly say the class is doing holiday math practice. Cleanup is a stack of papers and a cup of colored pencils.

13. Minute-to-Win-It Desk Challenges

Minute-to-Win-It gives every student a one-minute challenge at their own desk, so you get a lot of energy without the chaos. Run four or five 60-second challenges back to back. Ideas that work at desks: use the hook of one candy cane to pick up five more candy canes, one at a time; balance a small plastic ornament on the back of your hand for the full minute; unwrap as many wrapped candies as you can while wearing mittens; flip a small pom-pom off your elbow and catch it as many times as you can; and stack eight plastic cups into a pyramid. After each challenge, ask for a show of hands to see who made it, cheer, and move on. Grades 2-5 do great with this, and first graders may need an extra demo for each challenge.

To keep things moving, pack each student’s supplies in a small zip-top bag before the party, and hand out or collect only what the next challenge needs. A parent volunteer helps, but you can manage without one. For these five challenges you need candy canes, one small plastic ornament per student, mittens or winter gloves (ask kids to bring their own that day), a few wrapped candies each, small pom-poms, and eight plastic cups per student. Most of it is easy to find at a dollar store or to ask families to donate.

Minute-to-Win-It evens the playing field. There is no reading and no spelling, just a silly physical challenge that a first grader and a fifth grader have about the same shot at. The timer creates urgency, the cheering after each round pulls the class together, and quick switches between challenges keep it fresh for about 15 minutes. It also makes for the best party photos of the day, if your school allows photos.

14. Would You Rather: Christmas

Would You Rather: Christmas is a printable opinion game. Students read 12 festive choices, circle A or B, and then the class debates them. There are no wrong answers, which makes it easy for grades 1-5 and a great discussion starter. Each question has two small pictures and a “Why?” line where students write one sentence about their pick. The questions go from silly to surprisingly hard: “Snow every day in December or never snow at all?” “One huge present or twelve small surprises?” “Be an elf who makes toys or a reindeer who flies the sleigh?”

Print one sheet per student and give five minutes of quiet time to circle and write. Then vote on each question as a class with a show of hands, or have the A choosers stand up. The “Why?” line adds a little writing: grades 3-5 write a sentence, and grades 1-2 can use a word or two or a quick drawing. The full question set: 1. Snow every day in December or never snow at all, 2. One huge present or twelve small surprises, 3. Be an elf who makes toys or a reindeer who flies the sleigh, 4. Eat only candy canes for a week or gingerbread for a month, 5. Christmas on a tropical beach or in a snow castle, 6. Know what every present is before opening it or be totally surprised, 7. Sing Christmas songs all day or watch Christmas movies all day, 8. Decorate the whole house or just the Christmas tree, 9. A Christmas breakfast of cookies or pancakes, 10. Open presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning, 11. Ride in Santa’s sleigh or help Santa wrap presents, 12. Build a snowman or build a gingerbread house.

The debate after the sheet is the best part. Kids have strong feelings about whether a beach Christmas counts, and they will say so loudly. Early finishers can flip the sheet and write their own Would You Rather question, and you can read those aloud as a bonus round. There is no answer key and no grading, and cleanup is a stack of papers.

15. Guess the Christmas Song Intro

Guess the Christmas Song Intro gets every hand in the room up within seconds. Play the first four to six seconds of a Christmas song through the classroom speaker, and students race to name it. There are no buzzers and no devices, just a raised hand and a correct answer. Play 10 to 15 clips and keep score by table group, with one point per correct title. Mix easy songs like Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls with harder ones, like themes from The Nutcracker, to find your real Christmas music fans. Grades 2-5 get very competitive, and in first grade you can let each table answer as a team.

Build the playlist ahead of time in Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube. Searching “Christmas music quiz playlist” brings up ready-made options. For a harder version, play only the instrumental opening so nobody can recognize the first words. Queue 15 to 20 clips before the party so you only tap one button between songs. Pick a student DJ to handle the volume while you keep score. They will feel very important and stay focused the whole game. Set one rule up front: your hand must be up before you say the title, or the answer does not count. That keeps the loudest kid from winning every round.

It needs no supplies and no cleanup, and almost every kid knows Jingle Bells and Rudolph, so everyone gets a few early wins before the harder songs start. The difficulty builds across the playlist, and a student who names O Christmas Tree in round twelve can become the hero of their table. It is also a lot of fun for you, and you are at the party too.

16. Christmas Maze

The Christmas Maze is a printable puzzle that grades 1-5 settle into fast. There is something satisfying about tracing a path with a pencil, and the story turns it into an adventure: help Santa get from his workshop to his sleigh. Students start at Santa’s Workshop in the top left corner and find the one path to the sleigh in the bottom right, avoiding the dead ends on the way.

Print one sheet per student and hand out pencils. A timer is optional, but a five-minute clock adds a race and keeps the activity from running long. First graders can trace the path with a finger before they commit with a pencil. For grades 4-5, make it a race: the first three students to finish without crossing a wall win a small prize.

The maze is a good calm-down game after an active one. It takes focus, so the room naturally quiets down before your next game. Once the sheets are out, every student is busy on their own, and you get five minutes to refill your cocoa. And if you are also working on your own holiday wish list, every woman deserves a peek at this.

17. Color the Ornament Contest

The Color the Ornament Contest turns a coloring page into a competition, and kids try much harder when there is a vote at the end. Each student gets a sheet with three big ornament outlines, a round one, a teardrop, and a star, filled with patterns like snowflakes, stripes, swirls, and diamonds. The goal is to color all three as creatively as possible with the crayons or colored pencils at their desk. At the end the class votes by anonymous ballot so friends do not just vote for friends, and the three winning sheets go up in a “Christmas Gallery” on the bulletin board. Grades 1-5 can all compete, because creativity does not depend on grade level.

Print on plain white paper. Give 12 to 15 minutes of coloring time with soft Christmas music in the background. When time is up, collect the sheets, number them on the back, and tape them along the whiteboard. Students write their top three numbers on a ballot slip. Count the votes during the next activity and announce the winners. Crayons are the only supply, and cleanup is collecting papers and a few stray crayons.

The vote and the gallery are what make this a game instead of a quiet craft. Kids color more carefully when they know classmates will see their work. The gallery stays up through December, so the party leaves behind classroom decor, and you get a calm 15 minutes in the middle of the day. If you are also shopping for a staff gift exchange, the coworker gift guide has affordable ideas.

18. Christmas Kindness Circle

Christmas Kindness Circle is a quiet, heartfelt way to end the party, and even a rowdy fifth-grade class tends to go still for it. Students sit in a circle on chairs or on the rug. Each student gets a slip with a classmate’s name, assigned secretly like a mini Secret Santa. They have three minutes to write one specific compliment or kind memory about that person, like “You always explain the math problem when I get stuck” or “You make everyone laugh at lunch.” Then you read the compliments aloud without saying who wrote them, and each recipient just listens and smiles. Three minutes of writing and about ten minutes of reading leave the room warm and quiet.

You need a name slip and a writing slip for each student. Holiday notecards look nice, but plain paper cut into thirds works fine. Assign names ahead of time so nobody gets themselves or a tricky pairing. Do the reading yourself: say only the recipient’s name (“This one is for Maya”), read the compliment warmly, and let it stand without commentary. If there is time, recipients can say thank you. Students take their compliment slip home.

It belongs at the end because it lands best after the games have burned off the energy and kids are a little tired and a little more open. The party mood makes giving and getting a compliment feel safe. It costs almost nothing, takes the least prep of any game here, and often leaves the biggest impression, including on the teacher, who may need to blink a few extra times while reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best elementary Christmas party games for large classes of 25-30 students?

Games where every student plays at once work best. Christmas Kahoot Quiz, Christmas Bingo, Minute-to-Win-It Desk Challenges, and the printable sheets (Word Search, Word Scramble, Math Facts Race) keep every student busy with no waiting. Among the active games, Silent Snowball and Desk Ornament Pass also work well with 30 students.

Which Christmas party games work for a mixed grade 1-5 classroom or multi-age group?

Roll-a-Snowman, Reindeer Pom-Pom Relay, Color the Ornament Contest, Would You Rather: Christmas, and Christmas Kindness Circle work for all ages without changes. The Christmas Math Facts Race is split into tiers by grade, so every student works at the right level on the same sheet.

How do I keep the classroom low-mess during a Christmas party?

Stick to games that use paper, pencils, and a few small items like pom-poms and plastic ornaments rather than glue, glitter, or food decorating. Bag small supplies per student before the party so handing out and collecting is fast. Pick a two-student cleanup crew for each table and build a two-minute tidy-up into the gap between games. It feels like a short break and keeps the room under control.

How long should each classroom Christmas party game last?

Plan 8-15 minutes per game so energy stays high and nothing drags. Printable games like the Word Search, Maze, and Riddles take 5-8 minutes of solo work plus 3-5 minutes of class review. Active games like Charades, Heads Up 7 Elves, and Guess the Song naturally run 10-12 minutes. Leave a 1-2 minute buffer between games. At this pace, a 60-90 minute party fits 6-7 games comfortably.

Do I need parent volunteers to run these elementary Christmas party games?

No. You can run all 18 games on your own. One volunteer does help with Minute-to-Win-It (handing out and collecting supply bags) and with Christmas Bingo (checking winning cards).

Are these Christmas party games appropriate for a school that celebrates “winter holidays” rather than Christmas specifically?

Many of them adapt easily. Bingo words can switch to winter vocabulary like SNOWFLAKE, MITTENS, and BLIZZARD, and the Would You Rather questions can mention winter break instead of Christmas. Roll-a-Snowman is about snow rather than a holiday, and the Kindness Circle works for any class. Check your school’s guidelines and swap the wording where needed. The games work the same either way.

That is 18 elementary Christmas party games to carry your class from the first bell of party day to a happy send-off into winter break, with no glitter and no moved furniture. Print the game sheets, queue up the playlist, grab a bag of pom-poms, and you are ready. Pin this list so you can find it again next December, and if you want ideas for the year ahead, bookmark 20 Simple Halloween Games for Kids’ Parties for next fall. Happy holidays, and may your classroom be merry, bright, and low-mess.
