Merry Minute Challenge: 16 Christmas Party Games

Set a timer, shout "Go!" and let the Christmas fun begin! Merry Minute Challenge is a pack of 16 one-minute Christmas party games for the whole family. Most supplies are things you already have at home or can grab at the dollar store.

It's perfect for family game night, Christmas parties, classrooms, and kids' ministry events. Four of the games come from the Christmas story, so kids can hear about the shepherds, the star, the wise men's gifts, and the angels while they play.
