How to Play Christmas Who Am I?
Setting Up the Game
Write down various Christmas-themed characters or objects on sticky notes or index cards. Examples include Santa Claus, Rudolph, a snowman, a Christmas tree, or a candy cane.
Game Rules
- Each player takes a card without looking and sticks it to their forehead or back, so others can see it but they cannot.
- Players take turns asking yes-or-no questions to determine their identity. For example:
- Am I a person?
- Do I appear in a Christmas movie?
- Am I something people eat during the holidays?
- The game continues until every player successfully guesses their character or object. There is no need to keep score—the fun is in the guessing and the shared laughter.

- Clue Giving : Players struggling to guess their character can request a single hint to help them move forward.
- Themed Rounds : Instead of using random Christmas-related characters, choose a specific theme, such as:
- Mime Version : Instead of asking questions, players act out clues while others guess their character.
