Christmas parties wouldn’t be complete without the fun games. And if you’re looking for some that will bring out good laugh at work, we got you covered!

From classic parlor games to modern challenges, here some hilarious games that will bring life to your next Christmas party.

Charades

Pick a famous person, a movie title, a saying, or a book title. Then, act it. You have to act well so your teammates can guess the mystery word or phrase. The team that guesses correctly in the shortest time wins the charades.

Drawing charades is an equally fun version of the classic game. Instead of acting the word, you have to draw it.

What makes this game fun: It’s a classic game of guess, acting, and drama. What’s not to love about charades?

Stop Dance

The rule for this game is simple: players must dance to the music. When the music stops, they must freeze. The players should remain still or they’ll get eliminated. Watch out for playful officemates who’ll make you laugh to distract you.

What makes this game fun: Dancing can be embarrassing to many. Expect your officemates to chant “Sayaw, sayaw, sayaw!” to tease awkward dancers and loud cheers for the highly-competitive ones. Of course, do it all for the spirit of merrymaking.

Pinoy Henyo

A battle of deductive reasoning, Pinoy Henyo is a pop-culture inspired game played between two teams. One player has to guess a word, asking categories ranging from names, things, animals, place, and food. The other player may only answer “Oo, Hindi, or Pwede.” The fastest team to correctly guess the word wins the game.

What makes this game fun: It brings out the hilarity in people when under pressure. For instance, who would have thought saging can be an ingredient in sinigang? DongYan sure does.

Whisper Challenge

A fairly new game, the Whisper Challenge gained popularity through the Internet, and it’s a fun game to include in your Christmas party. The goal is to whisper a word or phrase to your teammates. But you have to do this while wearing a pair of headphones with music blaring on it.

What makes this game fun: The misheard words you’ll get from this game will surely bring out some good laugh.
