What games are good to play at the office Christmas party?

How do you have fun at an office Christmas party?
The best way, and most unique way, to have fun at an office Christmas party is to inject some fun and competitiveness into the proceedings!
We’re going to give you three office Christmas party activities for adults below. Two of them are ultra-competitive!! Read on to see why 😁
Christmas Games for Adults At Work
Head, Shoulders, Knees, CUP!
This game is wild and exhilarating and by far the most loved game in our Laughtercise Team Building Sessions!
How quick will you be? Will you grab the cup first? 😄
Check out several teams playing this game 👇
You will need:
📍 Paper cups (1 per two people)
📍 To line up tables so everyone can be facing each other (like in the videos)
Instructions:
📍 Instruct each person to face another person
📍 Tell everyone that you will be shouting out ‘head’, ‘shoulders’ and ‘knees’ and they have to follow the instruction
📍 Tell everyone that when you shout ‘cup’, they have to grab the cup. First person to grab it wins!
📍 Rotate everyone so they don’t continually face the same person
📍 Tell everyone to count how many wins they have!
📍 The person who has the most wins, is the winner! Or, and this is exciting…you can have the two people who have the most wins compete in the ‘grand final’. Whoever wins, is the champion!
Check out the pure laughter that this game creates! 👇
💥 AND NOW IT’S TIME TO BRING OUT THE CHOCOLATE! 💥
(licks lips!) 😋
Head, Shoulders, Knees, SANTA!
First step for you…buy some chocolate Santa’s.
Your team now battle it out for chocolate like the below teams did at Easter 👇
You will need:
📍 Chocolate Santa’s
📍 To line up tables so everyone can be facing each other (like in the videos)
Instructions:
📍 Instruct each person to face another person
📍 Tell everyone that you will be shouting out ‘head’, ‘shoulders’ and ‘knees’ and they have to follow the instruction
📍 Tell everyone that when you shout ‘Santa’, they have to grab the Santa. First person to grab it wins!
📍 Rotate everyone so they don’t continually face the same person
Just check out how much everyone concentrates when the chocolate is brought out 😁👇
Drawing Ahead!
Have you ever put a piece of card on your head and attempted to draw a Christmas tree? No? Well, the time to do it is now! In the below instruction video, we talk through this activity while using a paper plate. However, a piece of card will work fine.
You will need:
📍 1 piece of card per person
📍 1 pen per person
Instructions:
📍 Step 1 – Instruct everyone to put their piece of card on their head
📍 Step 2 – Instruct everyone to draw a picture of a Christmas tree on the piece of card
📍 Step 3 – Instruct everyone to write their name underneath their tree
📍 Step 4 – Give them 1 minute and get them to draw!
📍 Step 5 – After 1 minute, ask everyone to remove the card and show to everyone around them
📍 Step 6 – You can keep this game going by drawing different things….Rudolph, a Christmas pudding, a present etc.
This is what your team will look like playing this game 👇
Pencil Pouting & Pencil Pushers!
You’re going wild with the cups, plates and chocolate…why not go wild with pencils too?
