\"wrap<\/p>\n

This is one of my absolute, favorite games to play at Christmas parties. It always catches the group by surprise!<\/p>\n

The key<\/strong> is keeping the item they’ll be wrapping a surprise! <\/em><\/p>\n

(Shhhh…they are going to wrap one of their team members!)<\/em><\/p>\n

Christmas Wrap it Up Game<\/h3>\n

Group size:<\/b>\u00a0\u00a09 or more<\/p>\n

Time needed:\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Approximately 20 minutes from start to finish<\/p>\n

Supplies needed:<\/b> For each<\/strong> team: 1 roll of wrapping paper, 1 pair of scissors, 1 roll of tape (You should be able to find\u00a0all of them\u00a0at the Dollar Tree.) Small prizes for the winning team (i.e. candy canes, Christmas chocolates, etc.)<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Divide the group into teams of\u00a0 3-5 people.<\/li>\n
  2. Distribute the supplies to each team.<\/li>\n
  3. Say: Today (tonight) we\u2019re going to test your gift wrapping skills. Each team will wrap ONE item and we’ll see who does the best job. When I say “GO!” you’ll have 5 minutes to wrap (insert dramatic pause) one member of your team. Go!<\/i><\/li>\n
  4. Call time at the end of 5 minutes and walk around to each team. You could have the planning team or a church member serve as the judge or hold your hand over each “present” and choose based on the amount of applause each\u00a0team receives.<\/li>\n
  5. Award the winners and collect the supplies.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Notes:<\/b> I am always surprised by the creativity of the teams. One\u00a0team used their empty wrapping paper roll and made a Statue of Liberty-like package. Another fashioned earrings for their gift.<\/p>\n

    This is a high energy, loud game that usually produces\u00a0lots of laughter.<\/p>\n
