Pin the Crown on the Nutcracker
A classic game with a Nutcracker twist! Print out a poster-sized image of a Nutcracker and cut out paper crowns for each player. Blindfold the players one by one and spin them around before they attempt to stick the crown onto the Nutcracker’s head. The player who gets closest wins a prize!
Nutcracker Bingo
Create bingo cards filled with Nutcracker-themed pictures and give players a handful of candy or small toys to use as markers. As you call out the pictures, players mark them off on their cards. The first person to get five in a row shouts “BINGO!” and wins a prize.
Sugar Plum Fairy Freeze Dance
Put on Tchaikovsky’s classic Nutcracker ballet music and have players dance around the room. When the music stops, players must freeze in place like the Sugar Plum Fairy. The last person to freeze is out, and the game continues until only one player is left.
Nutcracker Relay Races
Divide into teams and set up a relay race course with Nutcracker-themed challenges. For example, one player can balance a toy soldier on their head while they race to the other end of the room, and their teammate must catch a falling snowflake cutout before finishing the race. The first team to complete the relay wins!
Snow Queen Scavenger Hunt
Hide small Nutcracker-themed prizes around the party space and create a list of clues to help players find them. Each clue leads to the next prize, with the final prize being a Snow Queen crown or other magical prize. The first player or team to find all the prizes wins!
