Step into the festive spirit with our free Christmas Hangman template. Challenge your friends, kids, or coworkers to discover the secret Christmas-related word or phrase.
In this Christmas version, each incorrect guess adds a colorful ornament to your tree. That’s right, if you lose, you have a fully decorated tree. So, you’ll win either way in this delightful version of Christmas Hangman.
This game is suitable for any age and is fun for a classroom Christmas party or office Holiday party.
Or roll it up and put it in an advent calendar.
What You’ll Get
I have for you a fun printable Christmas version of the hangman game and a list of Christmas words and phrases to get you started.
How to Play
- Pick a host.
- The host chooses a secret Christmas-related word or phrase and draws a blank line for each letter in the box above.
- The other player(s) try to figure out the secret word by guessing letters.
- Each correct letter is written on every line to which it belongs.
- For each incorrect answer, the host gets to color an ornament on the tree.
- Guess the word before the tree is decorated to win.
You can play this fun Christmas game one-on-one or with a group, which makes it a perfect game even for a large party.
You could split the group into teams and take turns guessing. If a team guesses correctly, they get to go again.
