Advantages: Fun and will keep the whole family entertained

Disadvantages: May take a while to do

Last Christmas after scoffing Christmas dinner we all sat around exhausted. Except for the children! It's always inevitable that you will run out of steam before they do.

However, on this occasion one of the children had a bright idea which I thought would keep them occupied but ended up keeping us all quite entertained.

Rather than bringing out the old board games we decided to create our own!

You can use this idea or come up with your own for next Christmas:

GAME PLAY

The aim of the game is for the Magi to reach baby Jesus. Each of the players is one of the Kings, although more than just three can participate!

The board is designed so that it sprials towards the centre, where baby Jesus lays! The spiral itself consists of squares, and each player throws a dice to move to the next one.

It's not just as easy as rolling a die however! The following are the sorts of things which appear on the squares:

- Some squares allow you to move forwards
- Some squares make you move backwards
- Some squares are activity squares which must be completed to the satisfatction of the other players! Such activities are: 1) Sing a specified Christmas carol 2) Tell a joke 3)Dance to your favourite Christmas song etc. (make up your own)

This is just an outline, but the kids can have fun making the gameboard and the pieces. You could even make the materials for creating this a special Christmas gift!

Hope you all have fun and a Merry Christmas!
