Free printable Christmas Scattergories Game

Christmas Scattergories is a Christmas-themed version of the popular scattergories game you already know and love. To make it more festive for the holidays all the categories are based on people, places, things, and activities that you do around the Christmas and winter holiday season and the answers are Christmas Words.

Supplies needed to play Christmas Scattergories Game:

  • Printable game pages (enter your email at the end of this post)
  • Pencils or pens
  • Clipboards (optional if you like to play sitting on couches and the floor like I do)
  • Alphabet die or random letter generator (optional if not using the printable)
  • Timer

How to play Scattergories

Preparation:

First, prepare by downloading and printing the game pages. You will see three pages – one with instructions and the letters to cut out you will just need one copy. The other two pages are the Christmas scattergories lists and answer sheets.

Cut the letters out (this paper trimmer makes it fast) and place them into a small bowl. Cut apart the category lists and answer sheets, making sure you have them for each player.

Game Instructions:

Each player is given a list of clues or items to name. These can be hints such as something to decorate the Christmas Tree or a name for an Elf. A letter is drawn and all answers must begin with that letter.

Set a timer for 1-3 minutes, depending on the average age of players. Younger kids will need more time.

List as many answers as you can remembering that each answer has to start with the letter that was drawn that round.

When the time is up each player takes turns reading their answers aloud. If another player has that word on their list both players (or every player) will cross it out.

Each person’s unique words score them a point. Tally up the number of unique words you scored for each round.

The player with the most points wins!

Common Disputes:

Doesn’t every great game end up in disputes? Here are some common concerns that you can think over to determine your own house rules.

No answers – do you lose points for no answers? This answer will depend on how competitive you want your game to be.

Multiple Points – Are there bonus points awarded for answers using alliteration? Such as Santa’s Sleigh would be 2 points for a double S.

Does “The” Count – technically no. The Hat would not count for a T answer. It would for an H thought!

Make sure to explain any rules before the game starts to avoid hurt feelings. Everyone can recall a time that a game ended badly – we are trying to avoid that. If competition is needed, offer a prize!

Hey, I’m Brooke!

I am a mom to 4 boys in Calgary, Alberta.  I love learning how things are made, singing to the radio loudly, and can’t stop talking. Fueled by diet coke and chaos, I can often be found working on a project.  You can hang out here for craft ideas and tips, games and activities to do with kids, plus FREE svg files and printables.
