Christmas Auction Game Printable, Family Christmas Party Activity, Merry Tokens and Bidder Cards, Going Going Merry

Going once… going twice… MERRY! Turn simple family privileges into a Christmas auction filled with friendly bidding and holiday fun.

Going, Going, Merry! lets players spend pretend Merry Tokens on little experiences, such as choosing a Christmas song, picking a bedtime story, or leading the Christmas lights countdown. You won’t need to buy a pile of prizes!

Designed for ages 7 and up, this printable activity is a fun addition to Christmas Eve, family gatherings, holiday parties, or a December family night.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

Six coordinated printable pages:

• Host guide with setup instructions, bidding rules, and auctioneer script
• Eight ready-to-use Christmas privilege cards
• Ten Merry Tokens per sheet
• Four numbered bidder cards
• Four bidder planning slips and an eight-item auction results tracker
• Eight blank privilege cards to personalize by hand

Designed for US Letter paper, 8.5 × 11 inches, in festive red, evergreen, and gold.

HOW TO PLAY

Give each bidder ten Merry Tokens and a numbered bidder card. Preview the privileges, choose your favorites, and decide how much you’re willing to spend.

The host auctions each privilege, starting at one token. Players raise their bidder cards to bid, and only the winner pays. Each bidder can win up to two privileges.

Use the included tracker to record winners and check off privileges as they’re enjoyed.
