How to Play Christmas Pictionary

• Decide if you will play in teams or individually
• Decide how much time each team or individual gets for people to guess what they are drawing.
• Set up the room so everyone can see the board and the person drawing can hear as people shout out their guesses.
• Remind everyone before the game starts that the Christmas Pictionary cards revolve around the Christmas theme.
• Remind everyone that the artist can nod ‘Yes’, shake their head ‘No’, and point to the board, but they cannot speak.
