There are many versions of "Name That Tune" and one of our favorite versions is "Name That Christmas Song," which of course then makes this one of our favorite Christmas party games!
We love sitting around with friends and family on a cold, winter night playing this game, while opening presents and munching on some fabulous holiday treats! The great part about this Christmas party activity is that there are many ways it can be played.
Version One:
Re-write Christmas songs in different words.
Examples
