THE ACTUAL PLAYER SHEETSanta’s Scrambled Sack player sheet: eight festive anagrams, instructions and space for answers
Print as many copies as you need for your own gathering.
Answers are on the separate second page.

PRINT. PASS. PLAY.

The host’s very short to-do list.

  1. 01 / PRINT

    Use A4 paper at actual size or 100%. Plain paper is fine. Colour is optional.

  2. 02 / KEEP A SECRET

    Give players page 1. Keep the answer sheet, page 2, out of sight. Team up if you like.

  3. 03 / START THE CLOCK

    Set a five-minute timer. One point for each answer; highest score wins. A tie? Share the glory.

Best for confident readers. Younger children can team up with an adult. You’ll need a printer, pens and a timer.

THAT WAS CHRISTMAS. THIS IS YOUR CHRISTMAS.

The dog’s name.
That holiday.
Grandad’s terrible dancing.

The free anagram game is complete on its own. The paid pack is a separate product: a personalised cover, three games and three answer sheets. Nothing is posted.

A couple of things worth knowing.

Is the download really free?

Yes. The two-page anagram PDF needs no email address, account or payment. Buying the personalised pack is optional.

Can I print in black and white?

Yes. All game text and answer spaces work without colour. Print one copy of page 1 per player or team; only the host needs page 2.

Do I need to personalise the free game?

No. It is ready to play. If you want games about your own family, use the separate personalisation form for the paid pack.

Can I share it?

Please share this page so others can download their own copy. You can print copies for your own gathering; please don’t resell the PDF.
