How to Use Christmas Would You Rather During the Holidays

This game works almost anywhere... around the dinner table, at a Christmas party, during a visit with loved ones, or in a care setting where you want a low prep activity. Questions like this help everyone participate at their own pace, and they often spark stories from past holidays.

If you prefer a relaxed approach, read a few questions aloud while enjoying a warm drink. If you enjoy group play, give one person the “reader” role and go around the room answering each question. Many activity directors tell me this style of game helps people think more clearly and encourages conversation without any pressure.

A few options for playing:

• Answer as a group and share your choices
• See if you can guess what someone else would pick
• Use printed cut-outs and draw questions from a hat
• Add a timer for a faster-paced round
• Let each person read a question to another player

However you play, you’ll find that the choices lead to laughter, stories, and sometimes surprisingly thoughtful conversations.

You can also roll up the free cut outs from our game and place them inside your Christmas crackers.
