The Christmas Jigsaw Race
By: S Roberts

A cheap and fun children's party game. Ideal for children of all ages. Its a race against one anther to collect your Christmas jigsaw pieces and to complete your jigsaw.

Preparing the Game
A different Christmas card is needed for each player. Only the image on the fronts of the Christmas card is needed, the backs can be discarded.

The Christmas pictures need to be cut into four pieces. You may cut them into 4 equal parts, or into abstract shapes, or four traditional jigsaw shapes. Make sure that each card front is cut into four parts.

How to Play
Show each player their jigsaw in its made state, so that they know what their jigsaw should look like, and so they can familiarise themselves with the individual pieces within their jigsaw.

Send all the players out of the room whilst you hide all of the jigsaw pieces in various places within the room. Behind curtains, under tables, behind cushions etc.

Let the players back into the room. They must now find all of their own jigsaw pieces, discarding all of the others, and be the first to complete their jigsaw puzzle. The first player to complete their jigsaw correctly is the winner.
