Stocking Swap Game

At Christmas time we play a stocking swap game. Each person brings a filled stocking and you sit around the circle. Taking turns each person reads the card on top of the stack and trades stockings as prompted. Then the card goes to the back of the stack and they are passed to the next person. In our family once we get back to the first card we ask to see if anyone has ended up with the stocking they brought, if so we shuffle the cards and start again until everyone ends up with a stocking they didn’t make.

The more cards you make, the longer and more exciting the game will be! Its also a little less cut throat then white elephant games where people steal gifts, since you are just doing what the cards says to shuffle the stockings around.

I have a page of blank cards so you can make as many as you want, and another sheet with some prompts to get you started. Just click here to download them.
