\nStocking with Christmas objects inside<\/p>\n

Game Preparation<\/strong>
\nTake a new pair of very warm, thick socks or a thick Christmas Stocking. Place objects you use or see around Christmas time, into the socks\/stockings. More than one sock\/stocking allows the game to go faster, but make sure you put identical things in each stocking. Use things like holly, scotch tape, ornaments, pine cone, etc. (See the\u00a0Christmas Bingo<\/a>\u00a0game if you need other ideas for objects) Make sure you put about 20 to 25 different objects inside. Tie a ribbon or rope around the opening to make sure nobody peeks.<\/p>\n

Game Play<\/strong>
\nGive everyone a piece of paper and pass the socks\/stockings around and tell participants how many objects there are inside. Have them write down all they can feel. The person who correctly guesses the most objects is the winner. You might choose to award the stocking to the winner.<\/p>\n
