By Alice Nichols

Christmas is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the festive season than by playing some fun-filled Christmas games! One such game that is sure to bring joy and laughter to your holiday party is Christmas Vacation Card Scramble. In this article, we will take a look at how you can play this exciting game with your friends and family.

What You Need:

First things first, let’s take a look at what you need to get started with the game. Here’s a list of items that you’ll need:

  • A deck of cards
  • Paper and pencils
  • A timer

How to Set Up:

Once you have all the necessary items, it’s time to set up the game. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Remove all the face cards (Kings, Queens, and Jacks) from the deck.
  2. Assign a number between 1 and 10 to each of the remaining cards in the deck.
  3. Write down each number on a separate piece of paper.
  4. Fold each paper in half and place them in a bowl or hat.

Gameplay:

Now that you’ve set up the game let’s move on to how you can play it.

  1. Divide your group into two teams.
  2. Each team selects one player who will be their ‘reader’ for the round.
  3. The ‘reader’ picks up one paper from the bowl/hat which has a number on it.
  4. The ‘reader’ then has 30 seconds to come up with as many Christmas-related words as possible that start with that number.
  5. Note:

    The words must be related to Christmas and start with the number on the paper.

  6. While the ‘reader’ is coming up with words, the remaining players on their team are trying to guess the words.
  7. The team earns one point for each correct guess.
  8. If the ‘reader’ is unable to come up with any words within 30 seconds, the opposing team gets a chance to steal and earn points for every correct guess.
  9. After both teams have had a chance to play, tally up the points and move on to the next round. The game continues until all players have had a chance to be a ‘reader’.

Tips:

Here are some tips that can help you make the most of your Christmas Vacation Card Scramble game:

  • Encourage players to think creatively and come up with unique words
  • Set a timer or use an app to keep track of time
  • You can modify this game for younger children by changing numbers 1-10 into letters A-J and allowing them more time to think of words

In Conclusion:

Christmas Vacation Card Scramble is an easy-to-play game that is perfect for holiday gatherings. It’s a great way to get everyone involved in some festive fun. So gather your friends and family, follow these simple steps, and let the games begin!
