Are you planning a Christmas party this year? Whether you’re getting together with family, hosting a classroom party, or planning a Christmas party with friends, having a few fun games ready can make the day even more memorable.
I love simple party games that don’t require a lot of preparation. You don’t need a closet full of supplies or hours of planning to get everyone laughing and having fun.
These Christmas name games are easy to print and play. They’re a fun way to get everyone involved, and they work especially well as an icebreaker when guests don’t all know each other.
How to Play Christmas Name Games
These games are based on a simple idea: use the letters or numbers in your name and birthday to discover your Christmas-themed name.
Each printable has a chart that tells you what your new name is based on things like:

Once everyone has figured out their Christmas name, take turns sharing them. Some of the names are silly, and that’s part of the fun!
You can play these games around the dinner table, at a Christmas party, or even use them as a fun activity during a family gathering.
5 Christmas Name Games to Print and Play
I created five different Christmas name games, each with its own festive theme. You can choose your favorite or print all five for a little extra holiday fun.

What would your name be if you were one of Santa’s elves?
This Christmas elf name game is a fun way to get everyone thinking about the North Pole. Have each person use the printable chart to discover their elf name, then share it with the group.
