Christmas Guess The Word Game

The game that gets loud around the third card.

Split into two teams (or more). One person draws a card and describes the word on it without saying that word and without using any of the five forbidden words listed underneath. Their team shouts guesses. The other team(s) sits with the buzzer, waiting…

One minute per turn. Every correct guess is a point. Every slip-up is a buzz and the card goes in the discard pile. That’s it.

90 Christmas Guess The Word game cards

Ninety cards is enough for a long night and enough that you’re not seeing repeats by round three. Christmas words, holiday traditions, the things that come up every December month. The forbidden words underneath are the obvious ones so you actually have to think.

And a page of blank cards

The last page of your Christmas Guess The Word game is a page filled with blank cards. Here you can fill in your own word and forbidden words. Inside jokes, family names, the thing your uncle says every year. Those are the cards people will always remember.
