Count up the cards that land in the box…. Need: Index cards, Paper bags. Write the letters mixed up of the word on individual index cards. Do this two times, making two sets. Put each set in a brown paper bag. Divide children into teams. Give each team a bag. The first team to decipher the word in the bag wins. Each child gets a letter and they must hold onto the card and stand in the proper order to spell the word for all to see. For a flat surface, instruct kids to place a book or something similar on their head.
Hold it in place with one hand. There is one point per correct drawing— one point if the tree is on the ground and one point if the star is on the tree and not in mid-air, one point for each present under the tree!

Tell guests that when you play the Christmas music, they need to pass the gifts to their right.
They continue passing the gifts until the music stops. Then, each person holding a gift takes off one layer of wrapping paper. Play continues until the last layer of wrapping paper is taken off. Whoever is holding the unwrapped gift gets to keep it and is out of the game. A variation would be to switch passing directions each time the music starts again. This way the gifts would be going both ways around the circle. For each of these Christmas gift exchange games, guests need to bring a wrapped gift.

Have them race against the clock, or against each other, to assemble their items. Pair guest children with "host" children for help with finding items, and make it clear which rooms are off limits or the kids might uncover your stash of Christmas gifts!
Travel items to search for could include a sweater or jacket, large spoon, comb or hairbrush, soap, plastic plate, a cup, a purse or wallet, and even some toy tools if you have them since Joseph likely carried some carpentry tools with him to Bethlehem.
Provide two canvas grocery bags per "donkey," plus string and scissors, and have the children race to invent some saddlebags. For some extra laughs once all the items are loaded on the donkey , ask one of the smaller children to try to sit on their donkey as well. Note: It's a good idea to tweak the requirements of this game to suit the age and sensitivity of the participants.
For young children, you may want to provide ready-made "saddlebags," or even skip the "load up the donkey" requirement completely.
