Christmas party games for under 5’s
At 5 years of age, children are beginning to know more about the world around them. And for some children, it could be the first time they have been excited for Christmas. As a result, Christmas events, parties and entertainment need to be focused on this excitement, and bring lots of fun and laughter. This is also the best way to keep any infants engaged with what’s going on.
Party games can be a struggle for children under 5. Rules to follow, and sharing, are not always two elements that scream FUN for any five year old. In fact, many games are a bit too complicated. So party games for the under 5’s need to:
- follow some simple, straight forward rules
- be easy to understand
- turn based games help develop social skills and understanding, so this could be educational as well as fun!
- most importantly, the game needs to be fun
This is a list of our top Christmas party games for under 5’s:
- Stack the gifts- with boxes of various shapes and sizes, the children compete in teams to build the biggest tower without it falling over
- Christmas musical chairs- a Christmas variation of a popular favourite. Simply play this game to Christmas music. Musical statues and musical bumps can also be a good idea
- Snowball dash- the children compete in teams to scoop the snowball (cotton wool) with a spoon and drop it in the bucket. Whichever team fills the bucket first wins.
- Santa says- a simple remix of Simon Says, but with Santa instead!
