Christmas Games To Play On Zoom
Here’re some much-loved Christmas games to play on Zoom for you and your family members or friends!

1. Switcharoo

To play this game, someone should be a quizmaster who is in charge of preparing questions in advance, then the answers will have the others’ names in return. This game mainly focuses on switching the first letters in participants’ full names, so keep an eye on how many correct answers you get during one-minute sessions.

2. Memory Match

As suggested, this game aims to challenge your memory as you need to name a collection of Christmas-themed items without a hint. The only thing for you to remember is that someone has taken a video of such objects and share it via your video chat. You’re also responsible for being an organizer and do the same things.

All members usually have two minutes to write down what they’ve recorded in mind based on the aforementioned rule. The winner can be a team or a single person who can list the most correct items according to his memory!

3. Christmas scavenger hunt

Like Memory Match, this much-loved party game appears to lure both kids and parents of our family circle into the Christmas vibes. The host will have to compile a decent list of Christmas things for the guests to figure out later. The first one to call an item out at a time will take back a point.

However, let’s make it a little more fantastic by requiring the participants to stumble on more quirky things, for instance, wrap up a Christmas gift or dress up as a Santa. It’s not that hard to follow!

4. Don’t show your teeth!

Everyone is welcome to join this word game. The rule is very simple – you choose a topic with particular themes and take it into turn-based plays. Each needs to think of a word in accordance with the theme.

Here’s the catch: all the participants are not allowed to show their teeth at all! They must cover the teeth with their lips during the entire game. Yup, using the hands is not allowed in this game as well. Those who fail to comply with this rule or are caught showing the teeth will be kicked out of the round! Try to become the last man with covered teeth in the end!

Right, you can play this with ease with in-person interactive, but it's better to write down an agreement if you’re all brought together via Zoom.

5. Paper plate drawing

Paper Plate Drawing is one of the funniest Christmas games to play on Zoom. Every participant holds a paper plate on top of his/her head alongside a pen for drawing, then listens carefully to the host, who will give them the instructions. An important thing to keep in mind is that the paper plate must not come off their heads if the game is yet to finish.

6. Pipe cleaner game

This is an old-fashioned family game. Creating objects using only crafting pipe cleaners – set the teams a task to make a Christmas decoration.

Teams have five minutes to create something. Share the end results and everyone can vote on their favorite creation. Needless to say, this could be the best-ever crafty and relaxing game to play on Zoom.

7. Five-second rule

The five-second rule is nothing but an exciting thinking game for those who love the speedy concept. Only five seconds are given for each question after you ask the players to name three things within a five-second time period. Amid the Christmas time, for example, three items could be films, carols, and so on.

It sounds easy but will turn much trickier when your mind goes blank due to the pressure caused by the 5-second time frame. The most difficult Christmas games to play on Zoom so far, isn’t it?
