Reindeer Game - How to play

Reindeer Games is a fun holiday party game that is perfect for a group of kids, teenagers, or adults. It's a simple game that can be played indoors or outdoors, and it's a great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit.

To play Reindeer Games, you will need a few supplies:

• A set of reindeer antlers (you can make these out of construction paper, cardboard, or a headband with antlers attached)
• A list of holiday-themed challenges or tasks (you can find lists online or create your own)

To start the game, divide the group into teams of 2-4 players each. Each team should have a designated "reindeer" who will be responsible for completing the challenges or tasks.

Next, choose a challenge or task from the list and give it to the first team. The reindeer from the first team should put on the antlers and attempt to complete the challenge or task within a set time limit (such as 1 minute).

Challenges and tasks might include things like singing a holiday song, wrapping a present, or decorating a Christmas tree. The more creative and festive, the better!

If the team successfully completes the challenge or task within the time limit, they score a point. If they don't, the next team has a chance to try and score a point. Play continues in this way, with each team taking a turn as the reindeer, until all of the challenges or tasks have been completed.

You can also add a few twists to the game to make it more challenging or fun. For example, you could have the reindeer complete the challenge or task while blindfolded, or you could have them switch antlers with another team after each turn.

Another option is to have the reindeer act out the challenge or task, rather than just completing it. This can be especially fun for more physical or expressive players. For example, if the challenge is to "deliver presents to all the good girls and boys," the reindeer might put on a Santa hat and use a toy sleigh to "deliver" the presents.

 It's unclear who invented the game of Reindeer Games or when it was first played. It's possible that the game was inspired by other holiday party games, such as Christmas Carol Pictionary or Christmas Mad Libs. It's also possible that it was created independently as a fun and festive activity for holiday gatherings.
