Pin the Nose on Rudolph
If you’ve ever played the traditional pin the tail on the donkey at a birthday child, get ready for a holiday twist that’s a fun party game the whole family can play! We’re turning the classic party game into a reindeer game and giving it away as a free printable Christmas game you can download and play this holiday season!
It’s a perfect game for a class Christmas party, a play date, or a fun game for a family game night. It’s one of those easy games that even younger kids can enjoy, but you also have a pretty even playing field if older kids or adults want to get in on the fun too!
And best of all, this Christmas fun can be done with our free picture of Rudolph game board, and a few simple craft supplies.
Supplies Needed:
- A large printable picture of Rudolph/ rudolph’s face (pst. grab out free printables)
- Large red pom-pom/ DIY large red circles for the red nose for each player
- Adhesive to attach to the back of the noses
- Blindfolds for players (a scarf or bandana work really well)
Optional Items:
- Timer if you’re playing with a time limit
- Additional Pom Pom/ large cotton balls/ paper set of noses for each player to have an additional turn
Note: If you can’t find red pom poms, you can easily shift the Rudolph Christmas game into a reindeer name. Go with a black nose using black pom-poms to make a reindeer nose game instead!

How to Print Poster Prints on the Cheap
Did you know Staples does large blueprint/Engineer prints for only a couple of dollars? You can send it to their print shop and usually get your fun Christmas game printable templates enlarged and back in about 24 hours. They also have quite a few sizes so you can get a bigger image, or go with a medium or small one if that works better for your space.
Check out all the details in this blog post all about how to create giant engineer prints.
You can certainly opt for a professional print job and even get it laminated. But we opted to only spend about $5 to get a color engineer print of Rudolph’s face, and it did the job perfectly!

- Blindfold the first player and spin them around 3 times.
- Have the player then try to place the nose on Rudolph.
- Take turns letting each player attempt to place their pom-pom on Rudolph’s face, as close to the center of the nose as possible.

Note: If you have players with over a year age difference, you can even the playing field with a time limit for older players. Also, you can close the age gap with a greater distance to the game board for older players. Also, you can require additional spins for older players and fewer or no spins for the young children.
Christmas Game for Kids
It’s a great way to get in the holiday spirit! We’ve also found most kids cheer each other on like they are a team members. It’s really sweet to see! Is there anything better than your siblings/cousins/friends/classmates cheering a child’s name in encouragement?
We hope you enjoy this freebie as much as we enjoyed making it. And may it bring some laughter, smiles, and a lot of fun as you play some Christmas games together this holiday season!
