This free printable roll and colour Christmas game is a great way to keep kids entertained during holiday events.
Kids of all ages will have fun decorating the Christmas tree and dressing Santa with this super fun printable Christmas game.
My kids are always super excited to see their cousins at Christmas time.
When we first arrive the kids are happy to run around a play and enjoy catching up while the adults chat and make food, but after a while it starts…
“When can we eat?”
“When can we open presents?”
“I’m starving!!!”
There’s always seems to be a gap between ‘yay let’s play’ and ‘yay lets eat’ at our Christmas celebrations, but this year I have a plan to tackle that gap and keep the kids happy while the adults get food on the table.
The plan involves backyard cricket, a few silly games, and some drawing and colouring activities – something for everyone.
Part of the plan is this fun, free printable, roll and colour Christmas game.
Roll and Colour Christmas Game – Decorate the Tree and Dress Santa
Poor Santa hasn’t got any clothes on and the Christmas tree is bare! Quick! Roll the dice and dress Santa and decorate the tree!
This fun roll and colour Christmas game is perfect for kids aged 3-10, but older kids will have fun with it too, and even younger kids can join in with a little help.
To play the game you’ll need:
- A printed game sheet for each player (see below for download link)
- Markers or coloured pencils
- A dice
Here’s how to play to game:
Give everyone a printed game sheet and some markers, ready to draw and colour.
The youngest child goes first (that’s always our rule but you can make up your own!).
Each player takes it in turn to roll the dice and draw and colour the item that corresponds to the number on the list.
If you roll a 1 – add Santa’s pants
If you roll a 2 – add Santa’s coat
If you roll a 3 – add Santa’s boots
If you roll a 4 – add Santa’s hat
If you roll a 5 – add decorations to the Christmas tree
If you roll a 6 – add a star to the top of the Christmas tree.
If you roll a number that you’ve already rolled you miss a turn.
The first person to dress Santa and decorate the tree completely wins!

What an awesome idea I am going to get this ready for my nieces to play before christmas dinner. Great thinking thank you so much for this.
This is fantastic. I am printing them out for my party next week. I am sure the kids will have loads of fun. Thanks for creating this game.
Its Sunday morning, clocks have gone back & I’m in bed checking my emails.
Opened yours & its as if Christmas really has come early for me!
I’m a childminder with 5 under eights who love craft but as I’ve had these same children for a number of years I thought I’d be struggling to come up with new, exciting ideas. You’ve certainly gone a long way to helping me in this task & its still only October! MANY THANKS!!
