Virtual Christmas Games
Here's a list of some of the most fun Zoom Christmas games: Gift exchanges to scavenger hunts, holiday movie charades, and more.
1. Simply a Darn Fun Holiday Event
A 6-minute fully hosted Just a Darn Holiday Event takes place via Zoom, Webex, and Google Meet. A host will lead you and your colleagues through a series of holiday-themed games such as "Which came last?", "White Elephant Stampede", and "Blackout Dare". This event is fast-paced, fun, and one of the most memorable times you'll have in a Zoom meeting.
2. Santa's Workshop
Santa's Workshop is a holiday version of "Shark Tank." The game allows players to pretend they are Santa's elves selling toys. Split the group by using breakout rooms to start the game. Each team will be given five to seven minutes to create the most unique holiday toy. Participants will then return to the main area and present their toys to a panel consisting of Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the head elf. The judges will decide if the toy should be made. The judges will choose the "popular toys of the season" at the end of each presentation.
3. The Naughty List
The Naughty list is a game that forces players to confess to holiday sins. Participants must have their cameras on to play the Zoom game. Participants must have their cameras on while the leader reads out a series of "naughty" acts. Those who are guilty of these actions will be asked to turn off their cameras. The last player who has his camera open is the winner.
4. Seasonal Scavenger Hunt
One of the most popular Christmas Zoom games is seasonal scavenger hunting. These are great ways to get people moving and help energize Zoom groups. There are many ways to organize a Zoom holiday hunt. You can organize a lightning hunt where participants race around the office or house to grab the items that the host names one by one. The list can be displayed on the screen, and players have three minutes each to grab as many items as they can.
5. Awkward Family Christmas Cards
Zoom's Awkward Family Christmas Card game is one of the most unique and fun games. Split the group into small groups. Each team will have five to ten minutes to create the most bizarre Christmas card together using the digital whiteboard. Before closing breakout rooms, give each team a minute’s notice. This will allow your artists enough time to complete their cards. Also, take a screenshot of the session before you return to the main room. Each team should take turns sharing their cards by sharing their screens or dropping the file into the chat. The group can vote for the best picture or let judges choose a winner.
