More Christmas Minute To Win It Games

This post contains affiliate links.

Last Christmas Eve we played several Minute to Win It Games and they were such a hit we had to do it again this year.  This year we played several new ones but also a couple of the ones we did last year that were just too fun not to play again. Even though Christmas has come and gone these games would be lots of fun on New Year’s Eve or your next family party.

Our first game was:

Jingle in the Trunk

You will need:

Two empty Kleenex boxes

Belt or strap to attach boxes to

16 Jingle Bells

To play I hot glued an empty tissue box to some belting and added a buckle so that people could adjust it to their own size.  I made two so that two people could compete against each other.  I put 8 jingle bells in each box.  The object is to shake your hips so that you bounce the bells out of the box.  The first one to empty their box wins.

This game was hilarious and probably my favorite of all the ones we played!

Christmas Nutstacker

For this game you need:

Two candy canes

12 bolts big enough to fit onto the candy cane

Two plates

Each person holds the plate in one hand and in the other hand is the candy cane with the bolts slid onto it.  They must stack the nuts one on top of each other onto the plate without them falling over.  First one to do it wins.

  Merry Fishmas

For this game you will need:

2 chopsticks

2 large candy canes

6 small candy canes

string

I attached one end of the string (about 10 inches long) to the chop stick and the other end to the large candy cane.  Place the three small candy canes on a table with the hook end hanging over the table.  Place the chopstick between your teeth and pick up the three smaller candy canes with the larger candy cane.

The winner is the first person to pick up the three small candy canes on their larger candy cane.

 Christmas in the Balance

You will need:

An empty wrapping paper tube

A yard stick

8 Ornaments with ornament hooks

Two people work together to hang their ornaments on the yardstick and keep it balanced so it doesn’t tip over.  This was pretty easy if they work well together.

Our two repeat games were:

Face the Cookie

You will need:

A cookie for each person.  A round, flat cookie like an Oreo works best

Player places the cookie on their forehead and with their facial movements moves the cookie down to their mouth.

This one is pretty funny to watch!

 Stack Attack

You will need:

36 plastic cups. Be sure and use cups that slip apart easily.  Ours didn’t and made it harder.  With one hand the person must stack the cups in a pyramid and then take them down into a single stack in less than a minute.  Only using one hand!  We didn’t have 36 cups so just use a number that will form an even pyramid.
