Last-Minute Christmas Games: Argentine Media Publish Ready-to-Play Ideas for Family Gatherings

The guides stress low-prep, all-ages activities to keep conversation flowing after dinner.

Overview

  • La Voz del Interior on Dec. 24 released a list of 10 simple games, including a musical timing challenge set to Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, a candle-blowing contest, balance tests, Christmas bingo and Pictionary, the “impossible cookie,” and a Christmas trivia.
  • Los Andes on Dec. 23 suggested three collaborative options: a themed bingo with festive icons, a challenge-based gift exchange that requires a task before opening, and a gift-wrapping race using a blindfold or one hand.
  • Both outlets emphasize activities that require minimal materials, adapt to tight spaces or large groups, and involve participants across generations.
  • The recommendations present games as tools to cut awkward silences and reduce cellphone use while encouraging laughter, teamwork, and shared memories.
  • Regional coverage the same day also highlighted eight easy, no-purchase ideas such as a plastic-wrap prize ball, a holiday “Who am I?”, a Rudolph nose placement game, a candy-cane treasure hunt, and an ugly-sweater contest.
