Festive & Fun: Christmas Games for Senior Adults That Everyone Will Love
Share
The holidays are a time for connection, laughter, and making joyful memories—especially for our senior loved ones. Whether you're planning a family gathering, a community event, or a cozy get-together, including Christmas games for senior adults is a wonderful way to spread cheer and keep the party lively.
Here are some heartwarming, easy-to-organize Christmas games perfect for seniors—plus festive decorations and supplies to make the event sparkle!
1. Christmas Carol Memory Game
Create a list of classic Christmas carols, but only give participants the first line. Can they finish the lyric? Play in teams or one-on-one—either way, it's a jolly challenge that taps into decades of holiday nostalgia.
Tip: Add a festive touch with themed tablecloths, cups, and centerpieces. Our party decorations collection is filled with cheerful supplies that make your gathering look extra merry.
2. Pass the Ornament
Have everyone sit in a circle. While music plays, pass around a (non-breakable) ornament. When the music stops, the person holding the ornament shares a favorite holiday memory.
Want to level it up? Use fun props like Santa hats, snowflake garlands, or jingle bell necklaces to get everyone in the spirit.
3. Holiday Bingo (With a Twist!)
Create bingo cards filled with holiday-themed items like “eggnog,” “mistletoe,” “reindeer,” and “fruitcake.” Use wrapped candies or peppermints as bingo markers for a sweet reward.
🎁 Pro Tip: We recommend using our festive table decorations and bulk candy to create a cozy setup that seniors will love.
4. Who Am I? – Christmas Edition
Write down the names of classic Christmas characters—Frosty, Rudolph, the Grinch—and tape one to each person’s back. Players ask yes/no questions to figure out who they are.
Pair this game with themed cups, plates, and goody bags from our party supplies section to tie the whole event together.
5. Ornament Craft Station
Seniors love hands-on fun too! Set up a table with supplies to create personalized ornaments, then let each guest take one home as a keepsake.
🎨 Stock up on crafting extras like paper snowflakes, stickers, and table runners on our decor page for easy cleanup and festive flair.
