When planning Christmas games for young children, the options are endless. Make sure you provide room to run, do a little planning and the kids are sure to have a good time.
Let’s start with a few relay race ideas. Begin with a candy cane relay. Give each team 4 candy canes (and be sure to have a few more in case some break) and have the child who’s running hold the candy canes between their fingers, with the crooked part of the cane hanging over their fingers. But tell them not to use their thumbs. The canes should be just carefully perched between their fingers.
The children run to their teammate, exchange the candy canes (again, only using fingers), and that teammate runs to the other end and does the same. The game is over when only one team still has candy canes that haven’t dropped on the floor.
Another fun relay that kids love is pass the ornament. In this game, each team gets one ornament (a lightweight, basic thin glass one is fine) and a straw. They must blow through the straw to get the ornament down the line, then the next child blows on their straw to get the ornament back down the line. Make sure each child has a fresh straw, as you don’t want everyone to get sick.
This next simple relay game can be played with just about anything that signifies Christmas. You could have the children pass a Santa hat (perhaps requiring them to wear the hat as they run down the line) or have them wear Christmas socks that they then have to take off and get to the next child during the relay.
“Santa Says” is a fun game that all children will know how to play because it’s just like “Simon Says”. Before playing it, confirm that each child is familiar with “Simon Says” and then create a series of orders from “Santa”, like “Santa says, touch your toes”, “Santa says bend your knees” and so on. But sometimes leave the “Santa says” part off and trick the children. Always a popular game!

The holiday season is when it seems the world is clattering for you to shop ’til you drop! It can be a very stressful time for everybody involved, but it doesn’t have to be. Save gas, time and money by shopping online this season! It can be a little tricky, but lucky this we have some online holiday shopping tips for you to make it that much easier!
Tinsel Tip #1: Make A List!
Write down exactly who you’re gifting this year and what it is you’re going to gift to each person. Not only will this list be your go-to guide when it’s time to start shopping, it will also help you figure out if you’ve forgotten someone! If you already own a smartphone, you know that the multi tasking features like checkbook ledgers, alarms, reminders, calenders, and Internet all help you manage life a little easier. If you don’t have a smartphone but you’ve been meaning to get one, this would be a great time to do it!
Tinsel Tip #2: De-clutter!
If you already know you’re going to be replacing quite a few items for your kids (they grow up so fast!) why not go through the closets and find the stuff you know they or you won’t be using again. Old video games, clothes, shoes, etc can all be sold or donated (donations can be written off at ‘fair market value’ come tax time). Make back some of the money you spent on gifts and do a good dead for a nice warm fuzzy feeling!
Tinsel Tip #3: Start Shopping NOW!
The longer you wait the more likely top items are going to be sold out. The closer an item gets to sold out, the higher the price climbs – so start your shopping as soon as possible! Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) is always a good time to get started as its when the Christmas sales get going at ridiculously low prices. By getting what you need
