CVW-11 White Elephant Rules
•A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game primarily in North America, with many
variations in name and game play. Generally, white elephant parties need a minimum of six participants,
although the larger the group, the more entertaining and protracted game play will be. White elephant
parties can result in vicious rivalries between players trying to get sought after gifts. The goal of a
white elephant party is usually entertainment rather than gain. In the southeastern United States, this
game is sometimes called a Yankee Swap.
•The most popular version of the White Elephant or Yankee Swap Rules say any number of people may
participate. However, the minimum number of participants should be at least four or else the game is not
much fun. Each participant is asked to bring along a gift worth no more than a pre-agreed amount.
•Participants draw numbers from a hat to determine their swap order from one up to the total number of
participants.
•Each person gets a crack at choosing a gift. The person who picks the first gift opens it and shows it to
the rest of the company. Then the number two participant picks a gift and chooses to either unwrap it or
exchange it for an unwrapped gift. If the gift is exchanged, the person who had their gift taken from them
gets to unwrap the chosen gift and the turn passes.
•When all the gifts have been opened, the game is over. Afterward, some trading should be expected and is
perfectly acceptable so that, as much as possible, everyone goes home with a gift they are happy with.
•A common twist to the game is that after all gifts have been unwrapped to then allow the number one
swapper to choose a gift from any of the unwrapped gifts.
•Since items can be stolen, the item in your possession is not yours until the game is over. However, this
is often amended with a rule declaring a gift "dead" or "safe" after it has been stolen a certain number
of times (usually three). This helps the process go more smoothly (avoiding, for example, the hypothetical
scenario of the same gift being stolen by every successive participant) and limits the disadvantage of
being among the first to choose gifts.
*NOTE:
- Both member and spouse/guest can bring a separate gift to participate in the White Elephant Gift
Exchange.
- All gifts should range between $20.00 to $25.00 in price.(Please be considerate and appropriate with
your gift selection)
- Please be sure to draw you and your guest's number at the door for participation.
