Santa's Sleigh Theme oi Game “Santa’s Packing His Sleigh” is a quiet Christmas game that pro­ vides fun and hearty laughter. It starts simply enough with one mem her of the group saying, “Santa’s packing his sleigh, and he’s bring­ ing a toy dog.” Then each person repeats the sentence, adding another gift to Santa’s sleigh. The object of the game is to repeat correctly, in order, the complete list of gifts in Santa’s sleigh—and it’s harder than it sounds. As the list gets longer and long­ er, more and more players just can’t seem to remember the whole list and its order, so consequently they drop out, until only one is left. Charades Give Fun on Holiday Christmas charades is a lively game that the whole family will enjoy. Divide the group into two teams. Individual members of teams are then called upon to act out a word, character, phrase, scene or situa­ tion—and since it’s Christmas, all the charades should have Christ­ mas overtones. Subjects are supplied on a slip of paper by the opposing team and then passed on to the "actor.” From here on, it’s his job to see how quickly he can get his team ­ mates to guess what he is acting out. “The Night Before C h r i s t ­ mas,” "Jingle, Bells,” “A Par­ tridge in a Pear Tree,” and “Fill­ ing the Christmas Stocking” are just some of the many, many sub­ jects that can be used.
