The holiday season is not just about delicious food and beautiful decorations. For Filipinos, it is also about spending quality time and sharing cackles with family and friends. And what better way to do that than by playing fun parlor games?
Here are a few game suggestions to bring joy, laughter, and memories to your holiday season:
Pinoy Henyo: Fun with Guesswork
Let’s start with Pinoy Henyo, a fun game that involves guessing words without saying them out loud. It’s like a guessing game on turbo mode that requires teamwork, quick thinking, and a lot of laughter. Imagine the chaos when your children are trying to guess “KathNiel.”
Bring Me: A Quest for Random Stuff
“Bring Me” is a fun game that is similar to a scavenger hunt but without the need to run around. The rules are simple: one person announces an item that needs to be brought (for example, “Bring me a pair of socks!”), and everyone rushes to find it. The first person to bring the item back wins! Watching relatives and friends sprint to find that perfect item and win the game is always exciting.
Charades or Pictionary: Act or Draw Your Heart Out
A parlor game classic! These games are perfect for some hilarious family bonding, whether you’re miming your heart out or sketching masterpieces. Imagine Dad attempting to draw Rudolph the Reindeer or Grandma acting the Frozen character Olaf. It’s an unforgettable experience that’s sure to bring joy to everyone involved.
Santa (Simon) Says: A Merry Twist
Do you remember the game Simon Says? Well, imagine adding a touch of Christmas spirit to it, and you’ll have Santa Says! The game involves following Santa’s tricky commands, and he is in charge this time around. You’ll have a lot of fun as everyone tries to keep up with Santa’s holiday-themed instructions. However, be careful not to be the one caught out when Santa didn’t say!
Christmas Carol Charades: Hum a Tune, Guess the Song
Who doesn’t enjoy a good Christmas carol? You can act out those beloved tunes with Christmas Carol Charades without singing a single note. Just imagine the joy of watching your cousin attempt to mimic “A Perfect Christmas” by Jose Mari Chan without making a sound! It’s an absolute riot, believe me!
Here’s a list of parlor games that will bring your family closer this Christmas. These games aren’t just about winning; they’re about creating moments of laughter, camaraderie, and shared joy that will stay with you long after the holidays. So, gather around and let the good times roll!
