Family Party Games

[Brengirl]

I have got the family coming round on Monday. For my sins I have organised a Secret Santa for us. The gifts have been exchanged but the grand opening will be on Monday.

We are not too much into party games but to keep the atmosphere going I am trying to recall one I played yonks ago.

It involves a pile of assorted wrapped gifts and a pack of cards. A 'trump' card is selected and the dealers deals. If you get a trump card you pick a gift and so on until the lucky dip is empty. The game then proceeds bla bla bla.
I know there are other bits to it but as I cannot remember the name so I cannot google.

Will be so grateful for any hints.

sorry dont know this one. One I played the other day involves sitting down with pencil and paper, everyone has to close their eyes and draw a fire place, then a tree, then a garland on fire place, lights on the tree, swapping back with things on fire place to tree include whatever you like the last thing is to draw a frame around the whole picture, then award points for each item in right place. Even a cat in front of the fire. Keep eyes closed all the time no peeping, then pass paer to person next to you for scoring, give high points and low points, theswap back and award pressie to highest scores, I scored ummmmmmmm 4 everyone else had 80 plus points it was a scream, and something kids can get involved in, you dont have to be able to draw either.
