Santa Suit Relay
Christmas Party Game Description
This Creative Christmas Party Idea requires participants to dress up as Santa.
Game Materials
A Christmas Santa suit should consist of a minimum of:
- Santa Hat
- Thick winter Gloves (red if possible)
- A heavy Coat (red?)
- a very large pair of black boots
Optional items:
- A large red sack stuffed with newspaper
- White cotton for a beard
- A bell to ring
Note: You can also rent two Santa costumes from a costume shop if you have the money or have one of the more adept ladies in your church sew one for you. Make sure the costume is extra large so that all your participants can easily fit into it. Whoever heard of a skinny Santa Claus?
Game Preparation
Lay out two sets of Christmas Santa Costumes - One for each team.
Game Play
- Line the youth, children or adult participants up into or two teams behind the starting line. Across the room are two chairs with a Santa suit laid out on each.
- At the starting signal, the first person on each team runs to the chair, puts on the Christmas Santa suit and says "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
- They then take all the items off and run back to tag the next person in line.
- Each person repeats these actions until all have had a turn being Santa.
- The team who finishes first is the winner.
