Last week I shared a brand new, created just-for-you, icebreaker called “What’s on ur phone?“.
I thought it would be fun to come up with a Christmas version too!
Christmas icebreakers are a must for any Christmas fellowship you may be planning for your women’s ministry team, Bible study, small group, or Youth.
This game is bound to bring about laughter and fun as women scramble to locate Christmas songs, Christmas-related photos, texts with Christmas lists, and more on their phones.
Now I know, not all of your women have a smartphone. That’s okay! This game can also be played in teams of two or more. In teams of two, one can record while the other search their phone.
Note: If your location has spotty internet service or WiFi issues – no worries – they won’t be searching online for this game.
Game: Christmas Version: What’s on ur phone?
Group size: 6+
Time needed: 10-20 minutes
Supplies: One Christmas Version “What’s on ur phone?” sheet per person or per team; pencils/pens; one personal smartphone per person or team (see notes).
Instructions: Print out copies of the Christmas Version”What’s on ur phone?” (Click the link below to open the free PDF file.)
What’s on ur phone Christmas version
Tell your group that you’ll be going “high tech’ with today’s game. Each person/team will have to quickly search their smartphone for a wide variety of Christmas-related photos, apps, texts, and more. For each item that fits the category listed, you’ll get one point. The person/team with the most points will be crowned the winner(s). Distribute the worksheet face-down. Give the group the time limit (somewhere between 5-10 minutes depending on your schedule). On “go” give everyone 5-10 minutes to record their points.
Winner: When time is up have everyone tally up their points and give the winner(s) a small prize or let them choose something from your Door Prize Basket. Consider including some Christmas-themed icebreaker game prizes too.
Notes: Before playing you’ll need to figure out if everyone in your group has a smartphone. If not, then you’ll need to play this game in teams. For smaller groups, you could play in teams of 2. For larger groups, have them work together in groups of 4 or less.
You want them to rush – some will be savvy and will look over the worksheet realizing that the time given will not be enough time to complete it all. You can clue them in that they may want to look over the sheet and be strategic about which items they search for first.
Not only is this a great game to play at Christmas, but it’s a great game to play when you want to engage multiple generations. Many of your older women may not have a smartphone and will want to partner with the younger and more tech-savvy women in the room.
Let me know if your group plays this game – I’d love to hear how it goes!
May God bless your time together and fill it with much laughter and fun!
