Are you looking for a fun and festive activity to do with your family during the Christmas season? Look no further than the classic game of Twinkling Lights!
This game is perfect for all ages and can be played both indoors and outdoors. Here’s how to play:
What You Need:
- String Lights
- Timer or Stopwatch
- A Group of Players
How to Play:
The objective of Twinkling Lights is simple: Players must try to untangle a jumbled mess of string lights while racing against the clock. The catch? The lights must be plugged in and twinkling throughout the entire game!
Step 1: Set Up the Game
To set up the game, begin by plugging in your string lights. Next, have all players gather around the tangled mess of lights. It’s important that everyone is able to reach different parts of the tangle.
Step 2: Begin Untangling
Once everyone is ready, start the timer or stopwatch. Players can then begin untangling the lights, but there’s a catch: they can only use one hand! This means that players must work together to strategize how to untangle different sections.
Step 3: Keep Twinkling
If at any point during the game, the lights stop twinkling, players must stop untangling and fix any bulbs or connections that have come loose before continuing.
Step 4: Finish and Declare a Winner
The game ends once all of the lights have been successfully untangled and are still twinkling. Stop the timer or stopwatch to record everyone’s time. The player or team with the shortest time wins!
Tips and Tricks:
- Designate a leader or captain to help organize and delegate tasks throughout the game.
- If playing with younger children, consider having them team up with an adult or older sibling.
- For added difficulty, try increasing the number of tangled lights or decreasing the time limit.
Twinkling Lights is a fun and engaging game that’s perfect for any Christmas gathering. So gather your family and friends, plug in those twinkling lights, and get ready to untangle your way to victory!
