For those of you who haven’t played the game for a while; note that the basic rules are simple.
Each participant places their name in a hat.
Each group member selects one name without telling anyone else whose name they drew. Then they secretly buy their chosen recipient a gift.
Kids can play Scavenger Hunt, Treasure Hunt, Guess Who game, musical chair game, or Christmas story pass and grab game.
LEFT RIGHT LEFT game is an exciting Secret Santa game for kids. You can either get a story online or create one yourself and include words left, right, left in it. Kids pass their gifts when the word” Left” or “Right” comes in the story. The game ends when the story is complete and each kid gets their gift.
Kids love the Hot Potato Gift Exchange game as it works well for gift exchanging. What you need for this game is a hand-held timer. Children can pass around gifts one at a time. The child who has a gift when the timer goes off becomes the owner of the gift.
You can continue this game until each participant receives a gift. Kids can open their gifts as soon they receive them or wait until the game ends.
