✨Christmas Pictionary Game Instructions
There are 3 ways that you can use the Christmas Pictionary cards. For starters, you want to split everyone into teams and place cards face down. Younger kids may need a little help reading the cards depending on how old they are.
The basic idea is similar to the classic game of Pictionary, set a timer for 60 seconds. One person will choose a card and then draw it out. If the team members guesses correctly within the time frame, they win a point. If not, the opposing team gets one guess. If they get it, they will steal the point.
OR
See how many cards the team can guess in 60 seconds. One person can keep acting/drawing or people in the team switch off based on who guesses correctly whoever guesses correctly takes the next card.
Acting (Christmas Charades)
Choose a team to go first, this team will pick a player from their team to act out the prompt on the card they pull.
When you say “GO”, that player pulls a card and acts out the word to their the rest of the players on their team (no talking, props, or no pointing).
Pictionary
Pick a team to go first, this team will pick a player from their team to draw the prompt on the card they pull. When you say “GO”, that player pulls a card and draws the CLUE for their team (no writing words, speaking, OR pointing)
Act or Draw – Coin Toss
Play a combination of the games above. Toss a coin before choosing a card. Decide what heads and tails will be, then play as directed.
*Remember that all of the cards are related to winter and could be Christmas-themed words compared to regular Pictionary words that could be anything.

💡Helpful Tips
- We love laminating our card sets to make them last longer.
- For the best quality use nice heavy white cardstock, but you can also use regular paper too.
- Check ink levels before printing. No home printer? Local print shops 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.
- When younger children are playing you may need to up the time limit to help them out a little.
