Some lovely ideas and an ebook :)

A HUGE selection of quality Christmas ebooks, from cooking, baking, Christmas Caroling, 12 Days of Christmas eBook (Education), Vintage Christmas Countdown eBook and loads more.. really worth a visit!

In the Northern Hemisphere where winter has approached, families will be looking for fun indoor activities to while away a lazy afternoon, or as an appetizer to a children's Christmas party. In the Southern Hemisphere where a scorching African summer is in full force and the 6 week long Christmas Holiday is upon us - along with a sometimes very rainy season - parents will be looking for something to occupy little minds and hands out of the midday sun.

Together with my children I devised and compiled some fun printable Christmas games that are easy to download, easy to print and easy to assemble. The easiest - and most fun part - is playing the games, which can be used only for little people, or can be turned into an entire family feast of competition...

Printable Christmas Games for Kids including Christmas Trivia Quiz and Christmas Pictionary - very sweet :)

Very cute Printable Christmas Games for Kids and their adults (^_^)

How well do you ACTUALLY know Christmas around the world; in song, dance, and language?

This game provides a wide selection of Christmas trivia questions from general trivia to movies and music, traditions and languages. Test your knowledge of Christmas music with questions in the Music and Song Category, or see how well your dad REALLY remembers the movie or famous novel, "A Christmas Carol". What Christmas song contains the words "And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmas time..."? Who is Rudolph's dad? What will probably not find under the Christmas tree? What kind of Christmas is Elvis Presley going to have?

Get friends and family to join in to while away a lazy holiday afternoon, or use the game as a warm-up to a fabulous and fun Christmas gathering. Play the Game! And find the answers to these questions and a whole lot more!

This ebook is divided in various categories covering a wide range of subject areas including phonics, math, motor skills and critical thinking skills - all in all over 320 pages of fun and educational activities!

An eclectic mix of stunningly illustrated activities, from basic Christmas Picture and Christmas Animal Dictionaries; The Christmas Alphabet, Christmas Phonics, Snowman Activities, Christmas Numbers and Counting, Santa-themed activities, Flash Cards, Spot the difference! and an assortment of gift tags and label crafts.

If you're hosting a Children's Christmas Party you might want to consider a few board or card games. This full deck of full color cards includes Jokers, and blank cards (if you're feeling inspired). The cards are created using beautiful assorted vintage Christmas images from the public domain. Enjoy with our compliments!

Playing card games is a great way for children to learn a variety of basic skills, including counting, taking turns, basic strategy, and being a good sport. Here are some ideas for the best traditional card games for children. All of these games can be played with a standard 52-card deck. While these games are mostly aimed at the younger generations, people of all ages can join in.

Simply print all pages onto cardstock, laminate for protection and durability and cut out cards. Fold on the dotted line and paste the front and back of each card together. (Bonus here is that if you need more than one deck, just print two sets of the cards)

Full instructions for each game as well as variations are at the end of the book.
