The catch is that each person can only use one hand!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oven Mitt Unwrapping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rather than raffling off prizes to guests, make them work for them. Put a gift wrapped in many layers of paper, a die, and a pair of oven mitts on each table. Guests pass the die around the table, each rolling it, until someone rolls a six. That person takes the oven mitts and attempts to open the gift as others keep rolling the die to see who goes next. Whoever finishes unwrapping the gift gets to keep it!<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-12215 alignleft\" alt=\"Fun Christmas games for the office\" src=\"\/blog\/media\/fun-christmas-games-for-the-office-christmas-invitations-300x294.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/blog\/media\/fun-christmas-games-for-the-office-christmas-invitations-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/blog\/media\/fun-christmas-games-for-the-office-christmas-invitations-150x147.png 150w, https:\/\/www.paperdirect.com\/blog\/media\/fun-christmas-games-for-the-office-christmas-invitations.png 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Holiday Charades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once everyone is loosened up, play a fun game of charades to end the party.
