Christmas Bingo

The bigger game: twelve different 4 x 4 cards for the family table or the class party. All sixteen Christmas pictures - Santa, the reindeer, a snowman, a stocking, a gingerbread man - are on every card, each time in a different place, so every call is a find and the youngest player is never left out; the race is about where the picture sits. Cut out the sixteen calling cards, put them in a Santa hat, pull one and say its name. Four in a row wins. There is a page of cover chips (mini marshmallows work too) and a page of ways to win, from a line to four corners to a full house. Between rounds play Hide the bell - warmer, colder - and color a star for every find. Draw a tree ornament and a candy cane in four easy steps, join the dots to find a stocking, finish the other half of an ornament, spot the difference, sort treats from things you wear and find the way through three mazes.
