Our staff Christmas party was held at a Culinary Arts building. My staff brought a special appetizer or dessert from home. We had chips and dips, fruit, cheese trays, cookies, and so much more. I took about an hour that morning to decorate the building with candles, pine cones, lights, and poinsettias. I wanted to make this Christmas party extra special for the staff. We needed to relax and have a good time.
Let's talk about the games! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. We played a paper plate game. Everyone was given a paper plate and a pen. I told them to place the paper plate on their head and do not remove it to the end. They had to draw what I told them to draw.
1. Draw a line for the floor.
2. Draw a Christmas tree.
3. Draw a fireplace with a mantel and a fire inside the fireplace.
4. Draw decorations to the tree.
5. Add stockings to the mantel.
6. Add a star on top of the tree.
7. Draw gifts under the tree.
I truly wish you could see their pictures. In all the fun, I didn't think to take a picture of it. Most drawings looked like a two year old did it.
Reindeer Games: We started off with two teams. I had a team and my PE coach/AP had a team. We both picked 6 people from the audience. The teams were given a pair of pantyhose, a red dot for a nose and 12 balloons. Each team had to blow up all 12 balloons, stuff them in the panty hose, put it on our head and give us a red nose. The team who completes this the fastest wins. We came in just seconds behind Team Adam. All participants took home a poinsettia from the table.
Other games played:
We sang the 12 days of Christmas which was edited for a "school theme." This was funny because the words to the song fit our campus or school experiences. For example, 8 data meetings, 5 late buses, etc...
My gag gift from the staff- a big box of cups for the workroom. We are always running out of cups. I think they are trying to tell me something. Hey, money is tight, right?
