Christmas Scattergories Game

If you love the classic game of Scattergories, you won’t want to miss this fun Christmas version. Always popular with kids and adults alike, it’s the perfect addition to your holiday festivities!

How It Works

Not familiar with the original Scattergories board game? It starts when players set the timer, then try to think of words in specific categories that all start with the same letter.

They write down as many answers as they can in the allotted time. However, in order for them to count, they have to come up with answers that no other player has selected. The player with the most unique answers in the end is crowned the winner.

This Christmas version of the game works the same way, except the categories are all holiday themed, so you’ll be thinking of Christmas words and phrases. Categories include Christmas songs, decorations, movies, foods, gifts, and more. The words ‘Santa’ and ‘Snowy’ across the top of the game card contain the letters of the alphabet that each group of answers in the Scattergories list will begin with.
