ble (with their mittens on), takes a Hershey’s
kiss out from the bowl and tries unwrapping
it with the large mittens. After they unwrap
it they have to run down and pop it into the
next person’s mouth. The next person takes
the mittens and runs to the bowl to do the
same.
the coat, hat, scarf and oven mitts. Before
the game starts, choose a random number
to be the “chosen number”; if someone rolls
this number with their dice, they need to put
on the coat, hat, scarf and oven mitts and attempt opening the box. In the meantime,
when that person is trying to open the box,
people continue taking turns and rolling the
dice. Whoever gets the chosen number again
has to take the dressed person’s place—put
the coat, hat, scarf and oven mitts on—and
continue opening the presents. This can be
one of those adult Christmas games that's
very fun to play!!
Dirty Dice Christmas
Gift Grab Game
Step1: Everyone brings a wrapped gift and it
is placed in the middle of a room.
Dress Up, Open Up
This is game is best for 3-10 players. For this
game you will need a wrapped gift, coat, hat,
scarf, oven mitts and dice. Before the party
wrap up a small gift (this can be anything—
candy, chocolates, a CD, etc.). Then wrap this
small box in many larger boxes (one inside
the other. Don’t tell anyone about it, they will
find this out as the game goes on). It’s best to
use duct-tape for wrapping (to make it hard
to open).
Have everyone sit in a circle and put the
wrapped box in the middle. Next to this put

Step 2: Once everyone is seated and two dice
are passed to each person to roll (a larger
group of people can pass two or three pairs
of dice). Whoever shakes a double retrieves
a prize but can't open the gift, and so on until all gifts are taken. Everyone who has a gift
(some have none, some might have many)
opens their gifts for everyone to see.
Step 3: Now it gets dirty! A timer is set for 15
minutes and the dice keep going around the
room to each person and if someone shakes
a double they can steal an unwrapped prize
from anyone. 'Everytime' a double is rolled, a
prize gets stolen.
Step 4: When the timer runs out, that is the
end of the game. When we have very young
children participating, the adults make sure
each child is left with at least one prize. ✤
