Christmas Charades
Print a deck of Christmas charades cards, cut them apart, and act out holiday prompts — no talking allowed. Forty-eight cards across six categories.
How to play Christmas charades
Split into two or more teams. Place the cards face-down. A player draws one card and acts out the prompt while teammates guess. No talking, spelling or pointing at objects in the room. Keep a one-minute timer handy for faster rounds.
What is on the printable cards
Each sheet prints eight cards with dashed cut lines. Categories cover traditions, carols, food, actions, objects and classic Christmas movies or stories. Skip any category you do not want before downloading.
Party and classroom tips
Laminate a set for reuse, or print extras so every table has a deck. Younger players can team with an adult. Pair charades with our office Christmas party games pack for a longer program.
