Update:\u00a0 This game has become one of my most popular freebies.\u00a0 I can’t say that I’m surprised.\u00a0 It’s because we all need human connection and it can be hard to create authentic experiences out of thin air.\u00a0 There’s something about playing a game that makes it okay for us to let down our shield and play by someone else’s rules for a bit.\u00a0 We’re so rigid with our own rules; “don’t speak unless you have something interesting to say,” “make a good impression,” “don’t make a mistake.”\u00a0 And those rules just keep us one step removed from what we really want and need–connection.<\/p>\n

Games give us needed permission to not be right all the time, to take a risk and see what happens, and to laugh at ourselves.\u00a0 This game will release the pressure valve on your party by asking everyone to play a character (so no pressure to make a great impression), and to act out silly situations everyone can relate to.<\/p>\n

If you play this party game, be sure to thank your guest for being so open and willing to have fun.\u00a0 And remember that playing games is important to expanding your comfort with healthy risks and seeing a new perspective–benefits that will reap rewards in all areas of your life.<\/p>\n

I love Christmas party group games.\u00a0 Everyone is in a great mood because–well, it’s Christmas!\u00a0 And group games seem to bring out the jolly in all of us, which is why this new party game is so much fun.\u00a0 Everyone gets in on the fun with this hilarious new game of Christmas Improv, “If the Hat Fits.”<\/p>\n

[bctt tweet=”Get the hilarious party game of Christmas Improv for Free!” username=”@blowingaway1990″]<\/p>\n

It’s simple to play.\u00a0 Just pick one card from the “If the Hat Fits” deck of cards.\u00a0 This will tell you what character you’re going to play.\u00a0 Pick another card from the “Set the Scene” deck.\u00a0 This tells you what scene you’re acting out.\u00a0 Then you choose someone from the audience (your family and friends) to be your acting partner.\u00a0 That’s when the fun begins!\u00a0 Following the improvisation rule, “never say no”, the scene will take hilarious twists and turns.\u00a0 The funnier the scene, the better, because the audience gives you points based on how quick you were on your feet.<\/p>\n

Of course, in the end it’s all fun and games because in this game the points don’t matter!<\/p>\n

The complete game is available in the Freebie Library<\/a> to download.\u00a0 If you’ve never been here before then you’re going to want to subscribe<\/a> so you can get your access code to download and print this fun game.\u00a0 This FREE game design is for personal use ONLY and can NOT be sold or claimed as your own design.
