Naughty or Nice

DIY Christmas Party Activity - Naughty or Nice Kids Game

Supplies for Carnival Games - Christmas Lollipop Tree:
4 Santa Themed Buckets
8 - 12 Lumps of Coal Toys
Decorations and or stand behind lines
Prizes - at least consolation and top prizes for this game!

How to Play:
Before the Christmas carnival (or holiday party), set up the game as shown above. Note: place the Santa Buckets about 6 - 8 inches apart to make this game challenging.

It is optional, but we used a white tablecloth under the game to show a "stand behind line" for kids. We have found kids are tempted to get closer to this game in thier excitement to win!

Also, if you have different aged children playing, be sure to have an additional line about 1 1/2 - 2 feet further back for the older kids to make the game more fair for the little ones playing!

Children are given 4 "lumps of coal" toys to toss into the Santa Themed Buckets. They must start with the closest bucket first and try to get the coal to stay inside each bucket in order. If they miss a bucket, they can try for that bucket again as each bucket gets harder to hit!

Game Winnings Suggestions:
0-2 Lumps of Coal in the Buckets = Consolation Prize
3 Lumps of Coal in the Buckets = Medium Prize (for a kids classroom holiday game or small party, you can omit the medium prize for simplicity)
All 4 Lumps of Coal in the Buckets = Top Prize

Note: This game is much harder than it looks...the uneven "lumps of coal" seem to have an unpredictable bounce and sometimes will land in the bucket at first, but bounce out right away!
