Can you remember who is who and get everyone in your team in the sleigh?

1. Christmas Ideas - Four Men in
a Sleigh
Can you remember who is who and get
everyone in your team in the sleigh?

2. Materials
One chair for each person and a couch (sleigh). Four
chairs can be used to replace the couch if you don’t
have one available. Decorate the couch (or four chairs)
like “Santa’s Sleigh.” There should also be one extra
chair.

3. Game Setup
1. This game requires 10 or more people to work. Set up
requires that there be one more chair than people and
the name of each person playing written on a piece of
paper. Place the chairs in a circle and the couch on one
side of the circle.

4. 2. Divide the group into 2 teams that can easily be
identified (e.g. girls against guys, or those wearing glasses
against those not.) If you want, distinguish one group by
making them wear red Santa red hats or some other means
of easy identification.

5. Game Play
1. Have everyone sit on the chairs making sure two of
each team is sitting in the “sleigh”. Mix up and then pass
out the papers with the names giving one to each
person.

6. 2. To win the game, a team must have 4 of their players
sitting in the “sleigh.” This is accomplished by having the
person on the right of the empty chair call out a name.
The person with that name on their piece of paper
moves to the empty chair and then exchanges the name
paper with the person that called him/her.

7. The person to the right of the new empty chair is the
next person to call a name and exchange with the person
who will move to the empty chair.

8. The game gets confusing trying to track who has what
name and how to move the opposite team off of the
“sleigh” and to get your team mates there.

9. Variation
Instead of a “sleigh” label the couch the stable. Then
inform the team that the first to get four wisemen to
the stable wins. (There may have been more than 3
wisemen, although only three gifts are mentioned in
scripture.)
