Pin The Nose on Rudolph is a fun and exciting Christmas themed variation of Pin The Tale on the Donkey. It’s the perfect game for any Christmas Party or celebration. We played it at our annual family Christmas Party last Christmas Eve. The kids really enjoyed it, and some of the adults were eager to join in as well!
I actually came up with the idea for the game just a few hours before the party started. I decided we needed some fun activities to keep the kids busy, when this idea popped into my head. Making the game cost next to nothing, since I already had all the materials to make it. All you need is a large piece of paper, markers, tape and a blindfold (we used a handkerchief).
First, I got a large piece of brown paper and drew a simple reindeer without it’s nose. Next, I cut out a bunch of circles and colored them red. If I had planned ahead, I would have bought some red construction paper. Coloring those in took the most time.
When it was time to play, I gave each kid a red nose, put on the blindfold, and had them try to place Rudolph’s nose where it belongs. To make it harder for adults and older kids, you can spin them around a few times! You’d be surprised how hard it is to walk straight even without being spun. Pin The Nose on Rudolph is an easy game to put together that is sure to bring lots of fun and laughter. The great thing is, you can easily play over and over again if you want. For some more party game ideas, you could learn how to play cricket darts which can be really fun for adults. Consider turning it into a drinking game – it could make it that much more fun!
I’d love to know – Are there any fun Christmas Party games you enjoy playing?
How cute! I’ve never thought about doing that game reindeer style. Definitely doing this for the kids this year!
Very cute! Sometimes the most fun times are born out of something so simple like this!
Wow, you can draw! If I tried to draw a reindeer it would end up looking like a sloth or pig. Ha! Good job improvising last minute. I’m sure the kids loved it!
HaHa look like fun!
This does look like a fun game for a Christmas party! Fun and easy…and most important, its not messy!
OH! This is super cute! Way to make a fun and festive spin on something old…love this idea!! (Great for class parties in elementary school too)
I am making this for my daughters classroom Christmas party…but had a question for you..what did you use to make the noses stick??
Hi Sara! I just rolled a piece of tape and stuck it to the backs of each nose.
Nice and fun game for everyone. I’ll suggest this game when we’ll have a party here at work or maybe at home 🙂
I wish I had found this before Christmas was over. My kids would have loved it. Oh well, it will be a game we will play next year!
Super cute idea, I bookmarked this article for next year!
