How Do You Say Merry Christmas? A Fun Trivia Game on How the World Says Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Joyeux Noel all say the same thing but in different languages.

This Christmas Trivia Game is like taking a trip around the world and sharing the spirit of the holidays with everyone.

When I was reviewing Merry Christmas Around the World, I was able to get about one third of the answers before I became stumped and had to start thinking which Merry Christmas went where. For me that is a sign of a good trivia game, when you get enough to get started and then are challenged to figure out what goes where.

I can tell you this, I did not score a 100% on Merry Christmas Around the World, but it was fun even though I got 4 answers wrong.

This Merry Christmas party game is good for Language Classes, Groups that do International Foreign Student Exchanges, Church Groups, Teen Sunday School Classes and anyone who enjoys a challenge. A nice little extra is that you can Personalize these game for your group, party or holiday event.

Plus this party game is so unique that it should be a challenge for your Christmas trivia experts and enjoyable as you score the results and pronounce the answers.

My only disappointment with Merry Christmas Around the World is that there should be a pronunciation key so when you reveal the answers you know how to pronounce them correctly.

Merry Christmas Around the World is a printable game you purchase and print out from your computer. You can purchase just this game or get the entire Christmas Game Collection that includes 70 other games the range from Winter, Christmas, Christian Christmas and New Years party games so you have fun activities for the entire winter break.

A Dinner Dare turns into a Fun New Christmas Game Idea for Kids

Recently at a networking event, the people at my table ask what I did and I said I run a Party Games web site. Then they said you think up party games? I said yes.

Then cam e the challenge can you come up with a party game using things on this table? Well I looked around and thought, hmm and then I said lets select three items and I will have a game for you by the next meeting.

The items from that were selected for this Party Game challenge were a:
1. Dinner Plate
2. Drinking Straw
3. Paper

Well a week went by and I kind of ignored my commitment, but then I saw a straw and when I was out to eat and started thinking how could I make a party game from a these three items.

I was a little stump, by then it hit me while watching a Christmas Holiday Special. Snowflakes.

Yes Snowflakes were the key to making a Christmas party game for kids.

And then the next challenge, how do you tie the straw and plate into a party game that is both fun and challenging. So I had to basically, make paper snowflakes, grab a straw and get a dinner plate and lay them out.

Once I did that it came to me, you must use the straw to get the snowflakes on the plate. This Christmas party game seemed simple and in my mind was easy. You just blow on the snowflakes, they fly up and land on the plate. Easy!

Then I took my idea and tested it, I blew on the snowflakes and they went under the rim of the plate. I used the straw to blow under the snowflake in order and the snowflake still didn't lift the snowflake.

Hmm, so far I had Christmas party game but it I couldn't make it work and therefore it wouldn't be any fun to play. Would this challenge end in a lame game or failure?

After some careful thought and a few test runs I hit upon how you could get the snowflake up and try to land it on the plate. Plus with snowflakes fluttering in many directions, it now became interesting and silly too. The game was coming together.

The next step was to create the rules and how to play instructions for this new Christmas party game and name it. The name was easy Snowflakes on a Plate, which is the objective of the game. The rules came easy to plus we came us with variations of the game based on whether you play as an individual or as teams.

The Game is now done so Check out the game details for Snowflakes on a Plate here and let me know what you think. We even added a video on this one too, it's a little silly but it was fun to make.

So now when I go to this month's networking meeting, I can show them the party game idea they helped me create, Snowflakes on a Plate. I hope they like it because I do.

12 Ideas to Improve Your Holiday Party

Is your Holiday Party stuck on repeat?

We'll here are 12 ideas to Shake Up your Holiday Party!

1. Beverage Tasting Holiday Party
Skip the White Elephant Party and ask each guest to bring a unique beer or wine to the holiday party. Once most of the guests arrive, let each guest introduce why they selected their beer or wine, then label each beverage with a number. Then give each guest a slip of paper and ask them to write down their favorite beer or wine by the end of the night and place in the box. And that person wins - A Prize, Prestige or all the left over beer.

2. Charity Wish Party
Be social, be merry and be giving. Instead of spending money on a gift ask guests to do to things; a. Place the amount they would spend in the jar or container, b. Submit a charity they would like the money to be donated. This type of party is a great way to spread joy during the holiday season.

3. Dress as....
Fill in the Blank... Ask guest to Dress as Elves, Santa, Reindeer or their favorite Holiday Cartoon Character.

4. Feeling Lucky Christmas Party
Yes, this is the Scratch off Lotto themed party, where you ask guests to purchase a specific dollar amount of lottery scratch off tickets and each set is placed into the gift pile. Then randomly determine who gets to go first, scratch and see if they got lucky or not! Play until everyone has scratched away.

5. Random Acts of Kindness Party
Want to through people off their game and send guests off on scavenger type adventure. This works best if you live in town and don't have to drive. Ask everyone to have $10 for a New Holiday Tradition. Then once all the guests arrive, you divide them into teams of 3 - 6 people (or at least 3 - 5 teams and you'll want a smart phone for each team) and let them know that the $10 dollars they have must be used to record a random act of kindness for a stranger.

Estimate about 10 minutes per random act, an hour is usually enough time to complete the mission. However, teams cannot repeat random acts, only one member per team can do a type of act. Ask guests to take pictures and when they return share the stories.

6. Make is a Murder Mystery Holiday Party
Different and Fun it is sure to be fun for guests. We pulled together a few of our favorite Holiday Murder Mystery parties here.

7. Caroling Christmas Party
There was a time we all had to get on stage and sing Christmas carols and some of us even ventured around town Caroling. Well add bring it back with with caroling trivia, sing-a-longs, karaoke or what is the next line of this Christmas carol game.

8. Crazy Scarf Party
Tired of the Ugly Sweater ideas well change it up and ask guests to wear a Crazy Scarf or one of those hats that look like animals and objects instead.

9. Holiday Ornament Making Party or Exchange

11. PJ Holiday Party

Quickly Turn Christmas Trivia Games into Team Relay Party Games

Holiday Trivia Party Games can be lots of fun unless Patty who is known as Mrs. Christmas wins every year or Joe who can recite "A Christmas Story" or a "Charlie Brown Christmas" plays because if they do then they are a shoe in to win and others figure why both.

How do you get around this Holiday dilemma at your Holiday party or gathering?

One easy way to neutralize Patty Christmas and Remote Control Joe is make your Christmas Trivia Games a Team Relay Race!

So randomly divide up your group into 2 or more teams. I would say teams of 4 to 6 people work best. Then pull out a trivia game like Christmas Song Lyrics.

Now explain that each team will be given a sheet of Christmas Trivia or Holiday Match Games to complete, however a team member can only answer 1 question and then it on to the next person to complete or answer the task on the sheet.

Note: Other team member can't share answers, point to answers or assist other members when it is their turn.

One way to ensure that team member aren't cheating is to place the Trivia Games on a table at the front of the room and have team member come to the table to take their turn. Then once they answer they leave the table and tag the next person on their team and the team can be lined up and ready to go but can't be hovering around the quiz.

Note that Team Members can answer "any" Christmas trivia question on the sheet, so they don't have to go in order. They just can't answer more than one per term and as fewer and fewer questions are left to answer it gets harder and harder to answer the trivia questions.

Make things a little interesting by adding a one or two pass buttons to the game, this way if someone doesn't know they can pass. While that is a nice idea it is much more fun to watch them sweat it out or just make up an answer!

Here are some Christmas Trivia Games you can use.
Twas The Night Before Christmas - Harder than it Sounds
Reindeer Games - Match Reindeer Trivia fun for Families
Christmas Riddle Me This! - This is a Tough One
Toys and Games Decade Challenge! - Interesting Toy History Challenge
Christmas Movie Characters - Looks Simple but a Challenge too!
Christian Christmas Song Lyrics - Entertaining and Perfect for Church groups
Who's Who Christmas Movie Stars - Pop Culture Game
