Here’s What You’ll Need for this fun Christmas Game…
- Boots – an old pair of rain boots are perfect
- Loose paper
- Table Tennis Balls
- Paper for score and marker
- Masking Tape (optional)
Setting up How Old is Santa?
- Wad up the loose paper and place it into the bottom part of the boot leaving space for the balls to land into
- *this holds the top of the boot open
- Tape the masking tape down on the floor as a line to stand behind or have something else defined as the starting line
- Place several balls down for players to use – or have a couple of containers with balls inside near the starting line
- Set the boots several feet away from the starting line
- Space them a few feet apart and designate one boot for each team
- Create a score board – you can just use a sheet of paper with a dividing line for team 1 and team 2
Playing How Old is Santa?
- Timing this game is a good idea or you can go until players run out of balls to throw
- When ready, players should toss balls toward their boots opening as fast as they can until the timer runs out or they run out of balls
- After they are done, count how many balls are in their boot
- Add the tally to the score board – each ball is worth 100
- After everyone has played, add up the score
- The winning team now knows how old Santa Clause is and a bonus – they won!
