Fun and Enjoyable Office Christmas Party Games

One of the most important things that you must include in your company Christmas party planning without doubt are party games. And if you are looking for fun and enjoyable office Christmas party games ideas, here are some that are sure going to make your office Christmas party an event to remember.

Holiday Office Guess Games

PARTY DECORATIONS

This game is considered one of the most entertaining among the office Christmas party games, as it will tell how well each employee knows their co-workers.

Get childhood photos of each person who worked in the company from spouses, family members, significant others, etc. At the party, post each picture on a huge white poster board with a number under each. Each member of the company had to write down who they thought each person was.

Another great idea to create this game is to secretly go around and snatch one somewhat 'personal' item off of their desk. At the party, lay everything out on a table, each assigned with a number. Everyone had to figure out which item came from whose desk. It is interesting to see who knows what is on other peoples desks!

Association Game

Put the following on a table:

A calendar The letter K A match in a bottle of water Jar of 16 candies Toothbrush Pitcher Candle Salt Fork Tacks Buttercup The letter N Stamp 2 dice on a dish of dirt An Iron

When the guests come, have the previous articles on a table. As they come, give them the following list. Match the statements on the list with the items on the table.

End of pork (k) A bunch of dates (Calendar) A swimming match (match in the bottle) Sweet sixteen (Candies) Never borrowed, never lent (toothbrush) Seen at a ball game (pitcher) Out for the night (candle) The ending of a Biblical Character (Salt) Branching of a river (Fork) On of the causes of the American Revolution (Tacks) A spring flower (buttercup) The end of ambition (N) Ready to be licked (Stamp) A paradise on earth (dice) Birthplace of Burns (Iron)

Creepers and Slammers

This is another great game among the office Christmas party games as it is a good game for large groups. Sitting at a table, have people sitting on either side of you and across from you. Divide your group into two teams. One team at a time takes a turn passing a quarter under the table carefully so that the people across from you on the other team cannot see where the quarter is.

Then at any time the other team that does not have the quarter tells you to stop! They either yell CREEPERS, all the people on the team that has the quarter must bring both hands up on the table or slowly try to open their hands with their palms down trying not to allow the quarter to drop loudly.

The opposite team tries to guess where the quarter is. If the opposite team calls SLAMMERS then everyone on your team brings their hands up quickly slamming them down with palms down and opens. The other team tries to guess who has the quarter. Just take turns until you are tired of playing. It is a lot of fun and everyone can join in. The winner is the team with least number of guesses to find the quarter.

Office Holiday Party Decorations on a Budget

It is a little more than a month until Christmas, and you have just been informed that you were picked to be on the office holiday party decoration committee. A committee of one. YOU! It was also made clear that funds for decorations are limited. Great. Never fear, the good news is that it will be held at the office, not a rented banquet room. Yikes! Don't lose hope. Now that you have an idea as to your location, you now have a blank canvas to put your artistic abilities to work. Here are some inspiring ideas to make your office party into a winter wonderland!

Start with your table decorations. If your budget is too low to add accents to the room, your table(s) will be your focal point. Anything after that is superfluous. If your tables are small, rearrange them into longer tables. This will cut costs, as you will not have to decorate as many tables. Try using white plastic tablecloths, instead of the red or green. The white background will give a snowy touch and make your table decorations stand out more. For a winter wonderland effect, choose blue, white, and silver for your color scheme.

The center pieces do not have to be so large that conversation is thwarted, but balanced to the size of your table. Several small decorations grouped together can be eye catching as long as you keep your groupings to a minimum. Make an arrangement of 3 tapered Christmas trees made from Styrofoam cones. Spray paint the large and small cones silver, then glue blue and silver beads and ribbon for a festive look. Your medium sized cone can be left white with colored decorations on it. Taper them in a tripod shape, then add tea lights on either side. In order to balance this group, add garland into the mix.

Take your garland and ripple it down the length of the table, but leave enough space for a place setting at each ends. Within each ripple of the garland, sprinkle potpourri. You can add small pine cones, decorative confetti and more tea lights to the array as well. For an additional sparkle, spray paint the potpourri on one side with silver glitter. For fun, cut about 12" of wired star garland and wrap around your table garland in sections, with the ends pointed up and out. Bingo! A simple design that is festive, and easy on the pocket.

If there are funds left over and a wall to decorate, draped garland and wreath are always an additional benefit. Another crafty decoration would be to ask your fellow employees for a picture of them and their family. Frame them in Christmas wrap, and scrap book them on a poster board. This will bring up entertainment and conversation during the party.

Usually, your company will have a Christmas tree with decorations from previous years. If not, having one is not necessary. However, if you have the funds, you may want to invest in an artificial tree. Add wide, wired blue ribbon with blue and silver glass ball ornaments to carry on with your winter wonderland theme.

With these quick and easy ideas for your office party decorations, you will soon be singing "To face unafraid, the plans that you have made, for walking in a winter wonderland". Happy Holidays!
