Are you going to have a family get-together for the holidays?
Want a game that you could play that both young and old can play together?
And one where the youngsters won’t be at a disadvantage because they are young?
Wonderful!
This Christmas Dice Game is a great because the whole family can play together.
Print up my free printable Christmas Dice Game sheets. You can either print them on card stock paper or regular copy paper. Both work just fine.
(NOTE: you will not be able to download this file if you are using Internet Explorer or Chrome on an Android phone. You will need Microsoft Edge. Even then, you will get a pop-up saying that it couldn’t download the file SECURELY and a second pop-up saying that the file was blocked because the file could harm your device. Dismiss those pop-ups and you will be able to download it. If you are still having problems on your phone, I suggest you use a different device such as a computer, laptop, or tablet. )
There are 6 different sheets — a Santa, candy cane, Christmas present, Christmas tree, snowman, and Christmas stocking.
Give one sheet to each player along with one dice. Select a grandchild to be the first player.
That grandchild rolls the dice. She crosses off the paper the number that she rolled. Let’s say she rolled a two. She looks at her sheet, finds a number two, and puts an X through it.
The player to her left rolls the dice and crosses the number off her paper that she rolled.
As play continues, it gets a little tricky. Say that you rolled a three but all of the threes on your paper are already crossed off. Sorry Charlie! Too bad. You don’t get to cross anything off.
And, that is the end of your turn. You pass the dice to the next person.
Play continues until someone has all of the numbers crossed off their sheet. The first person to cross out all of their numbers is the winner.
This is a simple game but easy to play with all ages of grandkids.
Happy holidays!

I see the 6 prints but do not see how to download!
When you click on the link to open up the different pictures to print up, there is a teeny tiny arrow in the top right-hand corner. The arrow points down. Click on that. A window will come up to let you select where to save to save them. Once you decide where to save them, there will be a button that says save. Click on that and the document will download to your computer.
I’m unable to get the free download! Could you send me the PDF file?
No luck printing
Were you able to download it?
For some reason I can not get them to download. Would it be possible to have them emailed?
I had no problems downloading the sheets using a chromebook

Have you clicked on the link in my post? In the 6th paragraph down, it says “Print up my free printable Christmas Dice Game sheets.” That is the link to the games.
I’ll email you a PDF file in case you can’t get the link to work.

I think gluing a cotton ball on each number would be fun too.
That’s a terrific idea! Thanks for sharing it.

This should work for you!

I love this game. Do you have any more printable available?
I don’t have any more that have a Christmas theme. Sorry! I do have a Thanksgiving one here and a Halloween one here.
Do you use different sheets since 13 people playing or does everyone playing have the same sheet? Pls respond quickly answer.
It really doesn’t matter. Every sheet has the same amount of numbers to cross off — except for the Christmas tree. It has one less. (Boy, I goofed there!)
