Christmas Day Family Fun and Games

The presents have all been opened, the Turkey has been devoured. What do we do next on Christmas day? In the 16th to 19th centuries, people would play ‘Snapdragons’ this game involves covering a plate of raisins in brandy and setting the whole thing alight.

The players then have to eat the raisins straight out of the fire. For extra points, larger dried fruits like apricots were used and sometimes stuffed with a lucky sixpence! I think we’re all glad that dangerous pastime has died out! Prezzybox have some safer and more fun ideas to keep the family entertained during the after-dinner lull on Christmas day.

Chalenj and Cranium Wow are board games, and when else can we all get together to play a board game than on Christmas day. These board games challenge the player’s creativity, knowledge and physicality as they play the game. Chalenj uses props included in the game to challenge players as they go. Cranium wow uses the talents of the family artist, actor, braniac and wordsmith to progress in the game. Both games are great fun to play and provide something for everyone in the family to enjoy.

Pub Quiz is another brain-challenger. Let the quiz master/landlord ask the questions and jot the answers down in your teams. With over 420 questions, in 4 categories, Pub Quiz will keep you entertained for ages.

If you’d rather stay at the dinner table, why not clear off the debris from the Christmas Dinner and turn the table into Dining Table Ping-Pong! This little red tin contains all you need to turn your dining table into a ping-pong arena! Set up a tournament and challenge your granny to a game!

Prezzybox hope that whatever you do on Christmas day, have a good one!
