In the White Elephant dice game, everyone starts holding a wrapped gift and a die is passed around. Each roll sets an action: swap left, swap right, steal any gift, everyone passes left, trade with anyone, or keep yours. An optional second round unwraps everything and runs on a three to five minute timer. A free printable card is included.
Everyone starts holding a wrapped gift. Pass one die around the circle. On your roll, do what the card says.
| Roll | Do this |
|---|---|
| ⚀ 1 | Swap gifts with the person on your left |
| ⚁ 2 | Swap gifts with the person on your right |
| ⚂ 3 | Steal any gift you want (give yours away) |
| ⚃ 4 | Everyone passes gifts one seat left |
| ⚄ 5 | Trade with anyone you choose |
| ⚅ 6 | Lucky! Keep yours, or open one now |
Round 2 (optional): unwrap everything, set a 3-5 minute timer, and keep rolling. When the timer rings, you keep what you hold.
Set a timer. 5-10 minutes for round 1 works for most groups.
No. Any 6-sided die works, or use a dice app.
