Step into a world where "everything has changed" and become a star in our Swiftmas Spectacular! 🌟 This isn't just any game - it's a festive mix of Pictionary-style challenges, holiday trivia, and collaborative rounds that will have you saying, "It's Christmastime!" even in July. (Participants will look at prepared images, that should remind them of a song. They will not be drawing for these challenges) 😉 Here's what to expect: 🎁 Individual rounds where you'll take turns showcasing your Swift knowledge 🎁 Challenge rounds where you'll work as a team (because "two is better than one" under the mistletoe!) 🎁 Bonus rounds for extra points (or should we say, extra "Christmas Tree Farm" vibes?) 🎁 Virtual Swiftie holiday icons as rewards (collect those snowflakes, Christmas trees, and candy canes!) 🎁 A free Author's Sample Copy of "Name That Song, Swiftie: 'Tis the Swift Season Edition" 📚 After our game, we'll dive into Swiftie discussions about the festive songs we decoded, difficulty levels, and more. It's the perfect chance to connect with fellow fans and make some "long live" friendships that'll last beyond New Year's Eve! ❄️ Learning Goals: 🎅 Enhance teamwork and turn-taking skills 🎅 Boost confidence in a fun, holiday-themed competitive environment 🎅 Deepen your Taylor Swift knowledge with a festive twist 🎅 Practice active listening and quick thinking Parental Guidance: To ensure everyone has the "Best (Christmas) Day," please review these guidelines with your Swiftie: 🦌 Respect turn-taking and avoid interrupting others 🦌 Be kind and supportive to all participants 🦌 Understand that disruptive behavior may result in removal from the game without a refund 🦌 Come prepared to participate during your turn and collaborate during team rounds Materials: Just bring your enthusiasm and Swift knowledge! We'll provide the virtual holiday cheer. 🎄
