Why We Love This Christmas Tree Game
- It’s a simple game that works for kids of all ages. It's easy to set up for siblings, cousins, or mixed groups during busy christmas celebrations.
- Rolling the die becomes a great way to practice turn-taking and social skills.
- It’s surprisingly educational in a gentle, low-pressure way. Younger children get a boost with fine motor skills, and older children enjoy turning it into a little race to see who finishes first. Kids naturally work on dice pattern recognition as they play.
- You can use it in the classroom as a fun christmas math activity in groups or math centers.
- It gives everyone a hands-on way to stay busy while you finish up snacks, cooking, or gift wrapping.
Top Tip
The tree never turns out the same way twice, which keeps it fun for repeat rounds. Kids can play solo or take turns rolling the dice. Laminating the page turns it into sturdy game mats for morning work or quiet-time play.
How to Play Roll a Christmas Tree
- Place both printable pages in the middle of the table so everyone can see them. Kids take turns looking at the tree page with the icons and corresponding number guide as they roll.
- Players take turns rolling the die. Each number matches a part of the tree (tree outline, tree trunk, ornaments, garland, presents, or star).
- When a player rolls a number they don’t have yet, they draw or add that piece to their tree.
- If they roll a number they’ve already used, they skip that turn and the next person rolls.
- Each player keeps going until the tree is fully decorated.
- The first person to complete their tree wins!
How to Turn It Into a Craft Game
The printable game also works as an art holiday activity when kids decorate their trees with crayons, markers, stickers, or small craft pieces like felt and yarn.
- Use crayons or markers for a quick drawing version, or swap in simple craft supplies if you want kids to build their own Christmas tree.
- Use felt or construction paper to create the tree base, trunk, and star so kids can layer the pieces as they play.
- Use pom poms, dot stickers, or buttons for ornaments. These are easy for little hands and add fun texture.
- Use small felt squares or paper pieces as presents at the bottom of the tree.
- Use yarn or thin strips of paper for garland so kids can “wrap” their Christmas tree as they go.
