10 Gift Exchanging Games to Play on Christmas That Aren’t ‘White Elephant’

If you’re tired of nasty Christmases, or if the game gets a little too dramatic in your family, there are plenty of gift-giving game alternatives. Go out and buy your $10-to-$20 gift, wrap it with a big shiny bow, and pass it along. Just remember to have fun and be kind; it is the holidays, after all.

All this game requires is a set of dice and a timer, making it one of the easiest gift exchanges. Have participants sit in a circle with a pile of gift cards (of a predetermined amount) in the middle. Set the timer for five minutes. The youngest participant will start the game by rolling a die, and once he/she lands a 6, he/she picks a gift card from the center of the pile. Then, the die is passed to the left and the process continues. On the second round, when players roll a 6, they can steal/trade gift cards. Continue the game until the timer runs out or until everyone is happy with their gift card.
