Christmas Auction Game

Guests earn Holly Bucks all party long, then raise a paddle and bid on the gifts and prizes

Perfect for

  • Family Christmas gift exchanges
  • Office holiday parties
  • Classroom reward stores

Hand every guest a paddle and 100 Holly Bucks at the door. All party long they earn more for ugly sweaters, games won, carols sung and arriving on time. At the end of the night, the auctioneer holds up each gift or prize and the bidding begins. Going once, going twice, sold!

There are 3 ways to play: a classic auction with host prizes, a gift-swap auction where everyone bids on wrapped mystery gifts, and a kids and classroom store. Each crowd (family, office, classroom) has its own ways-to-earn list and earning cards. The play money is clearly pretend: one-sided, smaller than real bills, with festive pictures and no cash value printed on every bill.

What's included

  • Holly Bucks play money in 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100, ten bills per page
  • 40 numbered bid paddles plus 4 blanks, in an ornament shape
  • 3 ways to play, a host quick start with a money-printing table, and an auctioneer's cheat sheet
  • Ways-to-earn lists and 27 earning cards for family, office and classroom, plus blanks
  • 18 twist cards (steal, freeze, double bid, sneak peek and more) with card backs
  • Lot tags 1-30, class store price tags, a bidder register and an auction record
  • Color and ink-saving black and white, in US Letter and A4

Sold as a printable download for personal use through our Etsy shop.
