I need help with a 2nd grade class christmas party games. Please give me some ideas.?

Question

I would appreciate any good classroom christmas party ideas for a 2nd grade class. We will only have an 1 hour to play and it will be indoors.

Answer 1

Kids that age love participation games! this one will require them to listen and earn adults a little quieter time during the party, too!

***Sit students in a circle and give every other child a wrapped candy cane. Make up and read a story containing the words "left" and "right". Instruct them that as they hear those two words they must pass the candy canes that direction. When the story ends, the students with candy in their hands get to keep it.

The story should go something like: "Mr. and Mrs. Right had left their children Suzie Right and Joe Right right at home while they left to go to the neighbors house. 'Turn left here, Honey.' Mrs. Right told her husband Mr. Right. But he turned left instead." Stretch this story out as long as you can mixing up all the directions and making sure the students are listening well.

The big punch at the end of the story should go something like: "The Right family arrived home right in the nick of time because Santa had left all their Christmas presents under their tree and were ready to be opened right then! Which was the only thing left to do...(pause letting the children think they'd won and then say...) Right?"

Answer 2

Well when I was in first grade my class made a wreath, where we got a parent to turn a hanger into a circular shape then we tied pieces of cute fabric around it (pre-cut at home) then we did it and brought it home to hang up. Might seem kind of dumb, but my parents lvoes it and I can see it right now hanging over my fireplace =) And it's been eight years since that, and they still love it. Also I forgot WHAT grade I did it, possibly 4th... we made some kinda of cinammon dough and got stamps and cut out ornaments after letting them dry. I still have THAT too, lol. Wellthose are just some good ideas!!! Good luck, I'm about to help my mom with some ideas, haha.

Answer 3

We did bingo (we bought the bingo sheets at wal-mart in the party section) and we used red and gereen M&M's to mark the numbers. They can eat them while playing. You can have prizes for the winners (we did $5 gift cards from wal-mart)

Answer 4

Christmas word bingo. i use to do this 2-5 times a year for most holidays. For Christmas use words like, "winter, snow, snowman, Santa, jolly...". you just say the word, they cover it, if they get bingo, they then read the words to you.

Answer 5

Arts and Crafts are always fun for little ones, why don't you have them make ornaments? You can go to an arts and crafts store and buy those old school wooden clothes line clips and have them make reindeer ornaments out of them. Or get construction paper and glitter and glue and have them cut out snow flakes and decorate them. Then give them cupcakes and juice. . I dunno, hopefully that'll give you a good start.

Answer 6

a secret santa??...i dunno if there too young or not to keep a secret. just do some christmas word searches, or some bean-bag tosses, maybe some cookies?? hope it helped, have fun!!
