Parents are always looking for activities for Christmas Day, particularly if they have really young children.

With a little investigation, I discovered there are tons of Christmas themed games we can do on the big day. Here are 9 game ideas for the holiday.

• Christmas Trivia

  Share

  Play Christmas trivia with family researching questions and facts and offer a prize for the family member who gets the most points. Some great trivia questions I found were Where country did the Christas tree come from? Answer: Germany. Also, what is the most popular Christmas song ever? You might think it's Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas," but it's not. Answer; Bing Crosby's "White Christmas."

• Christmas Scavenger Hunt

  Share

  A Christmas Scavenger hunt can be fun if you have young children.

• Christmas Guess Who

  Share

  Personalize the game of Guess Who and give it a holiday twist by making cards that relate to various family members or using Polaroid photos as cards for an easy, vintage twist.
• Holiday Dance Freeze

  Share

  Turn "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" into a game by holding a holiday dance-off. Play dance freeze. Turn on the music and get groovin', then shut it off without warning and shout, "freeze!" Whoever stops moving last is out.

• Snowman Bowling

  Share

  Save a stack of uniform-sized containers, like tissue boxes or shipping packages, then paint them like a snowman and add a paper hat and nose, painted features and some other accessories. Grab a ball and you're ready to bowl!

• Christmas Bingo

  Share

  Print out a handful of free Christmas bingo boards, filled with candy canes, snowflakes, gingerbread men and other symbols of the season.
• Gingerbread House Competition

  Share

  Gameify your gingerbread house project by turning it into a competition. Challenge each construction team to build a replica of their own home.

• Candy Cane Hunt

  Share

  If you already have candy canes lying around for decorating or eating, then you're already equipped to play this game.

• Santa Hat Cup Stacking Game

  Share

  With red solo cups and white pom-poms see how many "Santa hats" you can stack on top of one another before your tower comes toppling down.
