How to Play Name That Line

For Individual Competition:

1. Print out the quiz for each participant. (Pro tip: Select “page 1 only” when printing multiple copies – you only need one answer key!)

2. Distribute the quizzes and pens to all players. Make sure everyone knows the answer key is off-limits until they’re done!

3. Set a timer (we recommend 15-20 minutes) or let players work at their own pace. Part of the fun is watching people furrow their brows trying to remember if that quote was from The Santa Clause or The Polar Express.

4. Players match each numbered movie on the left to its corresponding lettered quote on the right by writing the letter next to the movie title.

5. When time’s up (or everyone’s finished), bring out the answer key and let players check their own work – or swap quizzes with a neighbor for scoring.

6. The player with the most correct matches wins! And yes, they absolutely get to pick which Christmas movie you watch next. That’s the rule.

For Team Play:

1. Divide players into small teams of 2-4 people. This version is fantastic for parties because it gets people talking and debating!

2. Give each team one quiz sheet. Teams work together to match the quotes to the movies.

3. Set a time limit of 15 minutes to keep the energy high and the competition fierce.

4. Have teams swap quizzes and use the answer key to score each other’s sheets. (This adds an extra layer of drama when teams realize they were so close on that tricky quote!)

5. The team with the highest score wins! Celebrate their victory with hot cocoa or the honor of choosing tonight’s movie marathon lineup.

Pro Tips to Make This Game Even More Epic

Create a Tournament Bracket: If you’re hosting a larger gathering, run multiple rounds! Start with the Name That Line quiz, then move to other Christmas games, with winners advancing until you crown an ultimate holiday game champion.

Add a Betting Element: Before revealing the answers, have players wager points on the quotes they’re most confident about. Correct answers on high-stakes questions earn double points, but wrong answers lose those points. This raises the tension deliciously!

Make It a Drinking Game: For adults-only gatherings, take a sip every time you get an answer wrong when the key is revealed. (Please play responsibly!)

Go Virtual: Hosting a remote Christmas party? Share the PDF in advance, have everyone complete it on camera, and reveal answers together over video chat. The delayed reactions are hilarious!

Theme Your Prizes: The winner gets a DVD of their favorite Christmas movie, a festive mug, or the coveted title of “Chief Christmas Movie Curator” for the evening.

Create Custom Versions: Once you’ve mastered this quiz, challenge yourself to create your own version with even more obscure quotes, or focus on one specific movie for super fans.
