Cute kids' games to play on Christmas Day

From preparing a festive feast to decorating the table and ensuring the kids are not tearing the house apart – it goes without saying that entertaining on Christmas day is a juggling act.

To keep things merry, running smoothly, and to ensure the place stays intact with a house full of rellies and kids, it’s a good idea to think ahead as to how you’ll occupy children on December 25.

On Christmas day, we’re going to set up a little games station in our backyard to keep our little ones busy and stop them from tearing around the house.

Setting up some activities is a great way to keep kids excited and busy, so they don’t get up to mischief in their bedrooms. Some adults might even want to join in on the games, too.

Here are three Christmas games for kids that are bound to keep the little people in your life entertained on Christmas Day.

1. Christmas hat decorating and parade

Kids love getting crafty and with so many decorations, Christmas loot and leftover wrapping lying around, a hat decorating competition is a great way to keep kids busy. And make good use of things that often end up in the bin.
