How to Play the White Elephant Game
-
Gift Buying Instructions:
-
Decide if the guys and girls will play together (keep in mind the gifts guys may buy)
-
Decide if you will buy gifts (set a dollar amount) or re-gift something
-
Tell everyone to wrap their gift and keep what they bought a secret
-
Game Instructions:
-
Tear up a piece of paper for every person you have playing
-
Number each piece of paper and fold it to hide the number
-
Let each player pick a piece of paper
-
Who ever choose #1 goes first and can pick and gift they want
-
You must unwrap the gift, show everyone what you got
-
Then it\'s #2\'s turn. #2 can pick their own gift or steal someone else\'s gift
-
Repeat until the last person picks
-
After the last person picks their gift, the last steal is done by #1 (why, because they never got a chance to steal in the beginning)
-
Don\'t forget:
-
You can only steal the same gift, once during one round
-
Change up the rules however you see fit. Crazier the merrier!
