  Here's a fun indoor game that's even more fun when you have lots of players. But you won't need lots of sporting equipment, just your wits and word-wrangling skills!

What you'll need:

  • a watch or timer
  • a pencil and paper for each player

What to do:

  1. Set the timer for 60 seconds.
  2. Tell players to print the word "CHRISTMAS" (or any other holiday-themed word) down the side of the paper.
  3. Flip a coin to decide who goes first. The first player should then choose a subject, like "favorite places to go on vacation," "cartoon characters," "rock stars," etc.
  4. Each player must then write down a word that falls within that subject. But here's the catch: each word must start with the letters in the word "CHRISTMAS" (or whatever's written down the side of the paper.)
  5. Players must stop after 60 seconds. Each person scores one point for each letter completed and a bonus two points if all the letters have been used.
  6. Be sure that each player gets one chance to pick a new subject when it's his or her turn. The game is over after the last player has selected a topic. Then total up the scoresóthe player with the highest score wins!
