Grab a friend to play this holiday WHOliday game! Here's how to play:
- Snip out the game boards.
- Pick a game board and sit opposite your friend. Make sure you can’t see each other’s boards.
- Choose and circle a character each, then take turns asking "yes" or "no" questions back and forth with your friend to work out who you’ve each chosen. Cross off the characters that don’t match your questions, and guess who they’ve picked!
Top Tip: Use a pencil so you can erase and play over and over again.
It’s chutes and ladders... but not as you know it, kiddo! This is a game for two or more players. Here's how to play:
- Find a die and use pennies as counters.
- Move around the board doing the tasks as you go. Too easy.
- Bounce up when you land on an inflatable and slide down the pool noodles (just like Chutes & Ladders). The first player to 100 is the winner!

Not that Bingo — Bingo the game! Take two secs to make it and play with a pal. Here's how the game works:

- Choose a bingo board, then sit opposite your friend and take it in turns to pull out a picture from the bag.
- If it matches a picture on your board, place it on top. If it doesn’t, pop it back in the bag.
