Think your brain can handle a Christmas twist? Scarblem – Christmas Edition takes classic holiday words and scrambles them into a tangled mess of letters. From carols to cookies, only the sharpest minds (or luckiest guessers) will be able to unscramble the chaos and reveal the right word before time runs out. It’s festive, fast, and full of merry mayhem — perfect for getting everyone in the Christmas spirit!
How to Play
Show each scrambled Christmas word on the screen. Students can play individually or in teams. When the round appears, the first person or team to shout out the correct unscrambled word earns a point. You can make it more competitive by having teams raise their hand to answer or send a player to the front for a face-off. Keep score through all the rounds, and the team or player with the most points at the end wins!
Bundle up — it’s about to get chilly! Does It Freeze? is the frosty guessing game where students put their cold-weather knowledge to the test. Each round shows a liquid or substance, and everyone must decide: will it freeze or not? Some are easy… but others will leave your brain on ice! It’s a winter wonderland of surprises where only the smartest (or luckiest) survive until the end!
How to Play
Students start in the center of the room. Each round, a new liquid appears on the screen. If they think it freezes, they move to the right side of the room. If they think it doesn’t freeze, they move to the left side. Once everyone has chosen, reveal the correct answer. Anyone who guessed wrong is out for the rest of the game. Keep playing new rounds until only one person remains — the final frosty champion!
It’s time to test your Christmas movie knowledge — one tagline at a time! In Tag! Christmas Movies, each round shows a Christmas movie poster with two possible taglines. One’s the real deal… the other’s a total fake! Students have to decide which tagline actually belongs to the movie before time runs out. It’s a festive guessing game full of laughs, nostalgia, and plenty of movie magic!
How to Play
Students begin in the center of the room. Each round, show a Christmas movie poster on the screen with two taglines beside it. Players move to the right side of the room if they think the correct tagline is Option A, or to the left side if they think it’s Option B. Once everyone’s chosen, reveal the right answer. Anyone who picked wrong is out for the rest of the game. Keep playing new rounds until only one Christmas movie expert remains standing!
Step into the spotlight with Director’s Chair – Harry Potter Edition! In this hilarious crowd-powered game, you’ll reimagine the wizarding world by casting iconic characters with unexpected actors. The audience gets the final say, but can you predict who they’ll choose?
How to Play
Bring two players on stage and show a Harry Potter character along with two alternative actors. Each contestant secretly locks in their pick with the host. Then the crowd votes by moving left or right for the actor they think fits best. If the contestant’s choice matches the crowd’s vote, they score a point!
Santa’s got a sweet tooth and a sneaky side! In Christmas Cookies, students try to outsmart Santa himself. Four delicious Christmas cookies appear on the screen — but watch out, because Santa’s coming to steal one! Each round, students must pick a cookie corner to stand in and hope Santa doesn’t swipe their snack. It’s fast, funny, and full of Christmas cheer — the perfect holiday elimination game to get everyone laughing and moving!
How to Play:
Show the four cookies on the screen, one in each corner. Everyone chooses a corner by moving to the spot in the room that matches the cookie they want. When everyone’s settled, reveal which cookie Santa tries to grab. Anyone standing in that cookie’s corner is out for the round. Keep playing new rounds with fewer and fewer players until only one person is left standing — the last cookie survivor wins!
