Christmas Charades and Pictionary Words

Draw Christmas charades ideas in three levels: easy objects, medium actions and hard movies and songs. 100+ prompts that also work for Christmas Pictionary.

All tools

Christmas charades is the classic acting game with festive prompts. Easy prompts are objects like a candy cane or a reindeer, medium prompts are actions like untangling the lights, and hard prompts are Christmas movies and songs like Home Alone and Jingle Bell Rock. The same lists work for Christmas Pictionary: draw the prompt instead of acting it.
