The winter holidays are an exciting time for children, which is a blessing and, well, sometimes a bit less of a blessing. On the one hand, it\u2019s great watching those eager little faces. On the other, that much energy needs to be channeled or it\u2019s going to finds its own, potentially unwanted, outlets. That\u2019s where holiday games for kids come in. Here\u2019s five games to help keep kids happy and active as they wait for the winter festivities to reach their peak.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Snowman Wrap<\/strong><\/p>\n

This game requires some supervision, but it\u2019s guaranteed to have kids dissolving into giggles.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The concept is easy. Cut two black construction paper circles for the snowman eyes, an orange triangle for nose, and a series of small black dots for the smile. You\u2019ll also need some tape, and a few rolls of cheap single-ply toilet paper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One person is the snowman. The rest use the toilet paper to wrap the volunteer with toilet paper to make the snowman. When the person is completely wrapped, tape the nose, eyes, and mouth to the snowman, snap a couple of pictures, then unwrap your brave volunteer. If none of the children are brave enough to be the snowman, they\u2019ll love wrapping an adult.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s in Santa\u2019s Hat<\/strong><\/p>\n

A much quieter game than the Snowman Wrap, What\u2019s in Santa\u2019s Hat is ideal for playing in front of a glowing Christmas tree. All you need is a Santa hat and some small seasonal items\u2014pinecones, candy canes, beads, and small decorations. Each player\u2014without looking\u2014feels the outside of the hat and writes down what they think is inside. The person who makes the most correct guesses wins.<\/p>\n
