Christmas wrapping paper games and fun!

What do you do with all that left over Christmas paper? Could we give it one more purpose before it meets its destiny in our recycle bin?

We searched ideas for our paper and found a game, with a twist and few modifications, here is what we came up with:



Have two boxes filled with your left over paper, boxes, your unwrapped ribbons, tags, perhaps lights could carefully be included etc.

Choose two teams, A and B (or create a themed team)

Have the teams choose a member that will be gift wrapped. (or choose straws, shortest straw is the winner of this prestigious effort)

Set a timer for 10 - 15 minutes.

Begin the race to wrap your person as fancy and awesome as the team can conjure!
Here is where a theme could be great fun- for example, living snowman, reindeer, robot etc


Make a portrait, and perhaps a new tradition!

Create your own twist and Enjoy!
