Reindeer Poop Christmas Game Rules
What Did Rudolph Eat? If you're looking for candy bar games for parties, this reindeer pooping game is super fun. You'll have everyone laughing with this holiday guess the reindeer poo game!
Servings: 1
Equipment
- Pens or pencils
- Paper for each guest
Ingredients
- 5-10 different kinds of chocolate candy bars or chocolates that people will recognize we used mini chocolate bars
- Paper plates
- Parchment paper
- Black marker
Instructions
- Cut squares of parchment paper to match the number of candy bars.
- Unwrap each candy bar and place one on each parchment paper square. TIP: If you are using full sized candy bars, you will just need a small piece. (Don't melt the entire candy bar!)
- One at a time, heat each candy bar on the parchment paper in the microwave (just for a few seconds!). You may have to smash them down a little to make them harder to recognize. Set aside and allow them to cool.
- At the top of each paper plate, write What Did Rudolph Eat? and number each plate.
- Place one melted candy bar on each plate. (Again, keep track of which candy bar is on which numbered plate so you have the answers at the end of the game.)
TO PLAY THE GUESS THE REINDEER POO GAME
- Have players sit around a table where they can easily write and pass plates. Give each player a piece of paper and pen.
- Start by explaining that Rudolph has an upset stomach and it's their job to help figure out what he ate by examining his reindeer poop. Tell them they can look at the poo from the reindeer, sniff the reindeer poo and even break off a tiny piece to taste it.*
- Once they have examined that candy bar on paper plate, they write their guess of that paper plate number on their paper. (For example, if the melted candy bar was on paper plate 1 they would write 1. Milky Way.)
- They pass the plate to the person on their left and then get a new plate. Game play continues until every party guest has guessed all the reindeer poo on plates and written their answers on the paper.
- Host then holds up each paper plate and announces the candy bar on the numbered paper plate.
- The guest with the most correct candy bar guesses wins. Have a small prize to give to the winner! (See the post of funny prize ideas!)
Notes
*Some people play the guess the candy bar game as no tasting allowed. You can play that way, too. If you allow tasting, you will want to make the melted candy bar pieces larger.
TIP 1: To make this easier (especially if you have younger kids playing), you can play this as a match the candy bar game. Simply list out the names of all the candy bars used and add in some other random chocolate bars names, too.
TIP 2: You will also want to keep track of the candy bars you are melting! Some of them are hard to recognize once you have heated them and they are melted.
TIP 3: IMPORTANT: If you are using Hershey kisses they will not melt completely! You will need to heat them for a few seconds and then smash them down with another piece of parchment or wax paper to make them flat and harder to recognize.
