Listen to the Carol of the Chins. This website lets you pick Christmas songs and the Chin Kids sing them for you. If you look closely, you can see that the two “kids” are actually adults who are upside down. You are seeing their mouths and chin, but the eyes are located on the chin. Kids and adults can get hooked typing in Christmas songs to see if the kids know them. Some of our favorites include 12 Days of Christmas, Carol of the Bells, and Angels We Have Heard on High.

An oldie but goodie is the penguin bash. A word of warning, this game involves an abominable snowman creature hitting penguins with a club to see how far they go. So if your little ones might not get into that, skip it. But this game is harmless. The penguins look like they enjoy diving off the mountain and flying through the air after being struck.
