How to play Christmas Song Charades

The rules for charades are fairly simple: Each player takes a turn drawing a slip of paper out of a bowl. The papers contain phrases to silently act out using body motions and hand gestures. Whoever guesses the correct answer first earns a point. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

For this version, I have created printable cards featuring classic songs of Christmas. There are 64 Christmas carols total, and most of them should be pretty familiar to everyone. There are a few lesser known songs on the list, but that just makes for even more Christmas fun! You are welcome to take out any cards that seem too difficult for the group you are playing with.

How to use the Christmas charade printables

Print the digital files onto white paper. The pdf file will include 8 pages of cards.

I printed mine onto regular printer paper and then laminated them so they can be used over and over again. You could also print the cards onto white cardstock and they will last longer than regular paper.

Have players pick the cards out of a bowl, someone’s hand, or some other festive container.

Other games that can be played with the Christmas song charades cards

Christmas Pictionary

Divide up into teams and see which team can make the correct guess first! You can use whiteboards like these to make it easier to play this fun game!

The Christmas carol game

The game leader draws a card and then plays that song on a streaming service like Spotify. The leader should choose a random time stamp to start and play for only a few seconds. Everyone writes their guesses on a piece of paper and at the end of the game the player with the most correct answers wins.
