✨Christmas Scattergories Game Instructions
You can play this fun game a few different ways depending on the age of the players. Younger children may need a little bit of help, but they can still participate.
- Print out the categories game sheets after you have downloaded. Double check your printer settings beforehand.
- Each person will get a game card. Merry is spelled across the top. There are 5 versions to choose from, so there are other Christmas related words as well.
- For each letter there is a category down the the side. The object is to come up with different words for each of the categories starting with the letters M, E, R, R, Y. But the answers must start with that letter of the alphabet.
- We play that the first one who fills all of them in first wins! You can also set a time limit and choose the winner based on who has the most filled out before the timer runs out. You could also give prizes or choose winners based on who uses the most unique words.
*Try to write a unique answer for each letter.
For teachers this isn’t just a fun Christmas party game, it’s also a great way to ignite critical thinking skills!

💡Helpful Tips
- We love laminating our printable games to make them last longer.
- If you want a more professional look or if you want the game to look a little prettier, use heavy white card stock. The paper weight will vary, but as a reference regular printer paper is about 20lbs.
- Check ink levels before printing. No home printer? Your local print shop can help, and they are usually reasonably priced or you can check an online print shop.
- If you need another size other than US Letter, check your printer settings.
