4. The person with the most fingers pointed at them gets a point.
5. That person explains why with a short story.
6. Move to the next prompt.

Scoring and Winning

The “points” are a joke prize. At the end, give a silly title to each person, such as “Cookie Monster” or “Santa’s Helper.”

Tips for a Fun Game

• Keep prompts positive and silly. Skip mean ones.
• Let guests add their own prompts.
• Hold hands over eyes until three so no one can copy.
• Take a photo when the group points at someone.

Variations

• Little kids: Use pictures and have them point at a stuffed animal.
• Reverse: Point at the person least likely to do it.
• Adults: Write prompts about shared memories from past holidays.
