Game Play
Someone stands with his back to the group. Then a bean bag, pillow or some similar soft object (called this the snowball) is passed about the group, and someone is designated from the group to throw the object at the person whose back is turned. As soon as he is hit he turns around and tries to guess, by examining the expressions on the faces of those before him, who it was who hit him. If he guesses correctly that person becomes the next target of the snowball. If not, he turns back around and tries again.

Variation
If you are in an area with snow, why not play outside with real snowballs!

The team with the most correctly identified objects wins.

Variations
Blindfold everyone and place them in a line. Pass the objects down the line. When they get to the end of the line, remove them from sight. Then after all the objects have been passed, give each person a piece of paper to write down a list of the objects that were passed. The one to correctly identify and remember the most objects is the winner.

Materials
A Christmas gift wrapped in multiple boxes and multiple layers of tough tape. It helps to have several layers of wrapping paper and boxes within boxes to make the game more challenging. Make it as difficult to unwrap as possible, with as many layers as possible; pair of dice in a basket; numerous items of clothing including heavy gloves, tie, coat, Santa hat, winter scarf, snow goggles, or anything else silly. (The more items you have, the more difficult it is to unwrap the gift. Heavy gloves also make it more difficult)

Activity
The objective is to be the person who FINISHES unwrapping the present. Place the gift in the center of a circle of people. A basket with dice is passed around. When a person rolls double sixes, they run up to the gift, don the clothing, and then begin unwrapping the gift as quickly as they can. (The more items they need to put on the less they’ll be able to unwrap) The dice continue to be passed and as soon as someone else rolls double sixes, they put on the clothing items and then take their turn at unwrapping the gift. Play continues until the present is completely unwrapped.
