Head on over to your nearest Christmas Shoppe and you’ll find stacks of Christmas hats…my eyes about popped out of my head when I saw the selection at Hobby Lobby. That’s right, Hobby Lobby, a craft store. And that’s when I fell in love with the Santa Hat theme for an office party!
Simple…host your office party anyway you like – at the office, at another venue, potluck at lunch, whatever. But make sure everyone wears a santa hat. Easy enough?
Then at some point, be sure to play this “no thinking involved” Santa Hat game:
Santa Hat Game
You’ll need everyone to be wearing a hat, so ask everyone prior to the party to wear a Santa hat. This game is based on observation. The objective is NOT to be the last person left with a hat on.
At the start announce the simple objective, the only rule is that no one can take their hat off until you (the hostess) have. Let another game or conversation take place, and as time goes by, people will take their attention off you, and even forget the game is happening. Eventually, remove your hat and watch as people catch on. Gradually the hats will come off, amidst snickers and smirks. Some unsuspecting person (who’s probably busy boring everyone with a hopeless story) will be last to notice, and much to every ones mirth, this person is the loser. Serve up an appropriate forfeit, get the hats back on and give the loser the chance to start the next game.
And if you want more games (totally optional) here’s a few we like:
