White Elephant Kit

Everything you need for a gift swap: a clear rules page (with options for friendly or cutthroat groups), cut-out numbered slips to draw turn order, and a steal tracker so you always know whose gift is whose and which ones are frozen. Works for any group size from 6 to 40.

How to play

  1. Everyone brings a wrapped gift (agree a price limit first). Cut out the number slips and let everyone draw one.
  2. Number 1 opens a gift. From then on, each player either steals an opened gift or opens a new one. A gift can be stolen twice, then it is frozen.
  3. When everyone has a gift, Number 1 gets one last turn to swap with any unfrozen gift. Use the steal tracker to keep score.

You need: A wrapped gift per guest, A bowl for the number slips. What's in it: rules, numbered draw slips and a steal tracker.
