Notes

CHRISTMAS IN BALANCE: Place an empty wrapping paper tube on a table or on the floor, and balance a yardstick on top of the tube. Each player has five Christmas tree ornaments of equal size and weight. Standing on opposite sides of the yardstick, players must work together to hang all five ornaments on their side of the yardstick without toppling the structure. If the structure falls the game is over. We recommend plastic ornaments to avoid a mess.

JINGLE OUT THE TRUNK: Take an empty Kleenex box and fill it with 12 jingle bells. To play Jingle in the Trunk, the box must be strapped to the player's lower back (use an old belt, or glue string on either side of the box to tie it securely around the player's waist). The object of the game is to shake, jump, and move around in order to get all of the bells out of the box within the one minute time limit.

REINDEER NOSE DIVE: This is a fun game for all ages. Before the game starts, tie a large red fuzzball to a length of red ribbon. Dangle a ribbon with the attached fuzzball from their mouth. Put a little dab of petroleum jelly on her nose. When the timer starts, she must swing the pom pom to land and stick on her nose using only her mouth and body - no hands.

SNOWBALL FIGHT: Get 4 large styrofoam balls on stools. Put one each stool. Each player must use pingpong balls to knock their styrofoam ball of their stool.

BLOW BALL: Blow off all red ping-pong balls from a tray, leaving only 3 yellow balls remaining.

BANANA BALOOZA: Have a banana hang from a string from a person's waist. They will have to swing the banana back and forth hitting the ball into the hula hoop.
