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!
It's the holiday season! Grab a pal and play this fun game. Here's how:
- This is a game for two players. Snip out the counters and presents. Place your counters at the start. Each player begins with five presents.
- Take turns to roll a die and move around the board. If you land on a GIVE space, give the other player that many presents.
- If you land on a GRAB space, the other player must give you that number of presents.
- The game ends when both players cross the finish line. The winner is the player with the most presents!
Let’s catch the bus to... the museum. (But only because you’re secretly in love with the bus driver!) Here's how to play:
- Try to get around the board without the grannies causing too much chaos!
- Grab a counter* (or two, if you’re playing with a friend) and place it on the start. *A button or small toy work well!
- Take turns rolling a die and moving the number of steps you roll. Be prepared for granny stops! The first one to the end wins.
Not that Bingo — Bingo the game! Take two secs to make it and play with a pal. Here's how the game works:
- Ask a grown-up to cut out the pictures below and put them in a bag... or a hat if you can’t find a bag... or a bowl if you can’t find a hat...
- 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.
- First person with all eight pictures on their bingo board shouts, "BINGO!"
Snip out these dominoes and grab a mate to play this fun matching game! Grab a grown-up and snip out along the dashed lines only. To play:
- Share the dominoes evenly with your grown-up or a friend. The first player puts any domino down on a table.
- The second player needs to try and put a domino next to it that matches one side of the other player's domino.
- If you don't have a matching domino, miss a turn. The first one to lay down all their dominoes is the winner!
