Santa Claus and Christmas Games for Kids
By: FUN Monster
The holidays are about family, food, and fun. Families have their own unique Christmas traditions. They have certain movies they watch, foods they eat, and activities they do together. It's also a great time to play games! Many holiday-themed games don't require a lot of prep work so if cousins or friends come over unexpectedly, it's still possible to have a great time trying new Christmas activities. There are activities that are great for very small kids, some good for older kids, and even games aimed at being played by family members of all ages. Sometimes the holidays can be a little awkward because not all families see each other often. These games are a great way to break the ice and let the holiday cheer begin in a natural, stress-free way that lets the entire family have fun together.
