Ultimate Christmas Game Round-Up
The Icebreaker Game, Dract (which stands for Draw + Act), was so much fun! We played it for my Women’s Ministry last year, and everyone loved it. Thank you for all the great ideas. This year, we will be playing the Christmas Left-Right Game.
Angela, so glad your group enjoyed it! You’re so very welcome!
Love your ideas. You are so creative!
I’d love to follow you for inspiration 😊
Thank you, Ernestine! 🙂 So glad you are here!

Need to know how to have a cookie exchange at Christmas Womens Mission party
Hi Marlene, I don’t have a cookie exchange post, but in the past, our group asked women to package up 3 dozen cookies by the half-dozen (6 bags each). We also asked them to bring some samples which we broke into bite-sized pieces. We would have a time for sampling and then called women up to get 2 bags at a time – so the last group didn’t get leftovers. Any leftover cookies were donated to a local fire station or other emergency responders. I hope that helps!
I keep trying to subscribe to ur list but it flashes a screen saying email needed and I sure filled in my email. I reloaded tried again. Switched pages tried again…still not working. Just FYI!
I am sure others r interested in ur content like I am, and I don’t want them to miss out either! God bless!!! Thank u so much!!
Hi Miranda, I checked the site and the sign-up forms all seem to be working right now. I checked and while you subscribed, you still need to opt-in. I just resent that email – you’ll need to click the box to confirm you want to be added to the list. I’m sorry for any confusion. Please feel free to reach out if needed. Thank you!
Thank you sooo much for these greats ideas & helps!
You’re so very welcome, Paula! <3
Great ideas. Just a comment on #24- if you decorate someone’s yard as a surprise make arrangements to take it down especially if someone is ill. You may not be a blessing if you don’t; they do not need one more thing on their plate to do after Christmas.
Carol, GREAT insight!! Yes, we definitely don’t want to be a burden, but a blessing! Thank you for your comment!
We host a Christmas Movie night each year. I encourage the ladies to come with their slippers and comfy blankets. We have one gal that brings a Hot Cocoa machine and we have cups of hot cocoa and movie snacks to share. After an earring exchange, we watch a Christmas Movie. I usually find a Hallmark Christmas movie and purchase it on DVD for us to watch. Be careful to preview ahead of time. There are a lot of good ones out there with funny and inspirational messages if you search for them.
Jenny, I am so glad you shared this idea! How fun! I may just have to borrow it. 😉
Cyndee, I have hosted a “Favorite Things” Christmas-themed party for the women’s Sunday School class before. The gifts we brought for an exchange was a favorite thing. We randomly selected a gift and when it was opened, that giver told why that was one of her favorite things. It helped us to get to know each other even better, plus it was fun! You know women, we love to tell each other about sales and things we like! I highly recommend it.
What a great idea! I love that each woman only needed to bring one gift keeping the cost reasonable to all involved. And everyone got to go home with something! I’ll be filing this idea away to use in the future! Thanks so much for sharing!
