How to Play Christmas Trivia
All players sit in a circle.
Place the Christmas Trivia Board in the middle of the playing area.
Place the Christmas Trivia Question Cards on the Board according to the categories indicated.
Before you begin, decide how you would like the game to end:
1. Based on time (for example, after 30 minutes)
2. Based on score (for example, once any player scores 20 points)
3. Based on number of rounds (for example, when everyone has answered 10 questions)
This Christmas Trivia Game is unique as everyone is involved at the same time.
For each question, there will be someone answering the question (the Answerer) while the player on the left reads it (the Asker). All the other players are Guessers who can score points by correctly guessing whether the Answerer is right or wrong.
(For each question, all the players except the Asker has a chance to score points.)
The youngest player begins and will be the first Answerer.
For each question:
1. The Answerer rolls the dice to determine the question’s category:
(1) From the Bible
(2) Christmas Carols
(3) Christmas Movies and Books
(4) Christmas Foods
(5) Random Facts
(6) Answerer gets to choose
2. The Asker (player on the left of the Answerer) draws the top card of that pile and reads the question aloud. If there are no remaining cards in that pile, the Answerer gets to choose any of the remaining categories.
3. After the question is read, Answerers indicate their answer by placing their token on either A, B, C or D on the Christmas Trivia Board. Once the token is placed, Answerers cannot change their answer.
4. The question then becomes open to all the Guessers. Guessers will indicate whether they agree or disagree with the Answerer by placing their tokens on either Agree or Disagree on the Christmas Trivia Board. (To avoid confusion, each player should have a unique token.)
5. The Asker reveals the correct answer after all Guessers have placed their tokens.
Scoring:
Award 2 points to the Answerer for every correct answer.
Award 1 point to each Guesser who guessed correctly.

Read
John 3:16
Conclusion
God loves us so much that he wants to be with us forever and ever! But we cannot be with God because we have all sinned. We have all done things that are wrong. Telling lies, fighting and stealing are examples of sins.
So God sent his Son, Jesus, to come to earth to die on the cross so that all of our sins can be forgiven.
And on the third day, Jesus became alive again!

You can talk to Jesus about this right now:
Dear Jesus, I know that I have sinned. I believe that you died on the cross to take the punishment for my sins. Please forgive all of my sins. Please come into my life and help me turn away from doing wrong. Thank you that because you took the punishment for my sins, I can have a relationship with you now and will one day be with you in heaven. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen

That’s great, Linda. Pray they will have fun and draw closer to God as well!

Thanx for these ideas! I was “Chosen” to get the games together and “You are a God-Send”… <3
Thee best site for Sunday school games!! Thank you so much for making my life easier when trying to find fun games!!
You’re most welcome!
I am sorry but where are the answers for the Christmas-Trivia-cards please……. I think this is a great game for my seniors Christmas break up too, thank you. blessings
ooops disregard my question about the answers, I see them in small print on the bottom of the card, sorry, thank you again
When I print these, the questions are barely readable on the card. Is there a way to get a Word document version or Google doc version so I can go in and make the text of the questions bolder/darker/larger? I have tried printing them on multiple printers and with different settings and the text is so small and so light on any printer that I can barely read them. Thank you!
Hello Laura,
Thank you for your feedback. We have just darkened the text on the downloadable to make it more readable. Hope this helps.
