I have a game…fairly easy, but it takes a little bit of thinking. If you’re sharing with a lot of critical thinkers, it’s a race! But a fun one at that. I first played it probably 40 years ago, but I still have to think through the answers.

Christmas Carol Riddle Game

The idea is to read the description of the song and identify the title of the song.  For example:

1.  Move hitherward the entire assembly of those who are loyal in their belief.

Any ideas?  The answer is…

O Come All Ye Faithful

Here are the rest…without the answers.  I have created a pdf of the riddles, and another of the answers.  Test your skills to figure these out.  This might be easy for some of my more cerebral friends out there.  If so, share it with your more “challenged” friends.  A little brain exercise never hurt anyone!  If you want to test your skills without the answers, you can print out this pdf…Christmas Carol Riddles.
