Christmas Flashlight Game

Every card is one strip you fold in half, so the hidden picture lands exactly behind the window by itself - no lining up two pieces of paper. Flip the card over and the answer is on the back.

Perfect for Christmas Eve, advent days, holiday parties, classroom centers, homeschool and dark winter evenings.

THE 27 FRIENDS ★

18 woodland animals in Christmas outfits: Santa fox, Santa bear, Santa mouse, elf bunny, elf squirrel, cozy hedgehog, pompom owl, reindeer raccoon, little reindeer, gingerbread badger, candy cane otter, skating beaver, snowman frog, wreath fawn, angel skunk, Christmas tree chipmunk, Santa bluebird, present turtle

9 Christmas things: Christmas tree, gingerbread cookie, present, candy cane, snowman, stocking, hot cocoa, jingle bell, wreath

Some friends look alike on purpose - three Santa hats, two little elves, two reindeer - so little eyes have to look closely at the ears and hats.

HOW TO MAKE IT ★

Print on plain printer paper (card stock is too thick for the light to shine through).

Cut out each strip on the gray lines, fold it on the blue line and glue the two white sides together.

HOW TO PLAY ★

Hold a card up and shine a flashlight behind it - a phone light works too.

Who is hiding in the window? Find the same friend on the boards and put the card on its window.

Flip the card over to check.

WAYS TO PLAY ★

Play in a dim room - the darker the room, the brighter the surprise.

Easier: one board and its nine cards. Harder: all three boards at once.

Take turns: one child shines, the other guesses.

WHAT YOU NEED ★
