Make your own family naughty and nice Christmas game

What to do on a wet weather sleepover? We recently had our friends children to stay for 22 hrs, it rained and rained and rained. I decided on an impromptu theme “Christmas” with a variety of activities roughly fitting into the theme.

The activities included making bath bombs, bird feeders, air clay snowmen, Christmas biscuits and playing this year’s “Naughty and Nice” game. Everyone had a good time:)

So what is the Myers “Naughty and Nice” game? It’s a board game with a variety of squares, the first person round wins. If you land on a green you pick up a nice card, if you land on a red you pick up a naughty card. My husband picks comments which he knows will bring a smile to our kid’s faces.

Naturally, you can make the naughty or nice cards to fit your family.

So what is on the cards? Here are some examples – but you can download a full list here if you wish to make your own:)
