How to Play the White Elephant Game

  • Gift Buying Instructions:

  • Decide if the guys and girls will play together (keep in mind the gifts guys may buy)

  • Decide if you will buy gifts (set a dollar amount) or re-gift something

  • Tell everyone to wrap their gift and keep what they bought a secret

  • Game Instructions:

  • Tear up a piece of paper for every person you have playing

  • Number each piece of paper and fold it to hide the number

  • Let each player pick a piece of paper

  • Who ever choose #1 goes first and can pick and gift they want

  • You must unwrap the gift, show everyone what you got

  • Then it\'s #2\'s turn. #2 can pick their own gift or steal someone else\'s gift

  • Repeat until the last person picks

  • After the last person picks their gift, the last steal is done by #1 (why, because they never got a chance to steal in the beginning)

  • Don\'t forget:

  • You can only steal the same gift, once during one round

  • Change up the rules however you see fit. Crazier the merrier!
