Any suggestions for Holiday Ice Breaker games?

Franklin, WI(Zone 5a)

This is the 2nd year my DH side of the family will do a generic gift exchange. Last year my daughter put together a game for an ice breaker and then we played two other games that allowed us to swap/trade the unopened gifts among the group.

We're going to do it again this year and I'm looking for a "funny" ice breaker game to play. We have about 15 people participating.

Anyone have any good ideas? I've searched the web and have seen a few but nothing that jumps out at me. Last year we each got one of two cards with a type of animal on it. We had to walk around making that animals sound while searching for our "mate". It was hilarious making animal noises at each other until we found our "other half"!

Thanks

Work through the alphabet, and each person has to remember everything else that's been said already, and add the next letter of the alphabet.

Here is a game thats fum to watch the kids and the Adults
2 decks of cards Pass out the first deck . The second is to call out the cards.game has all kinds of little gifts wrap but the host has the names who gets what. Like
Pot Holder Bubble bath candles dollar store has most of the stuf
Put all the wraped gifts in the middle and then the fun begins they pick 1 gift and put in front of them when all the gifts are gone you start to take from a person its so cute the little ones start to pout) but once the game is ended you call off the numbers and they get the gift the buble bath in a bottle works real good for the older one they all think its a bottle of wine
and it ends up as bubble bath

At my DH family Christmas we like to play Bingo for small gifts. We wrap the gifts and put numbers on them. Then we put paper with the numbers on them in a bowl. When you Bingo you draw out a number and you get the wrapped gift with that number. Some people end up with more gifts than others but it is a lot of fun especially if you make the gifts funny. We have had toilet paper, icebox magnets, votive candles, etc for gifts. Some good little gifts and some really funny gifts like hillbilly teeth. Anyway we do this every year and we have a lot of fun. Oh, we ask everybody to bring a couple of gifts for the bingo game.

Another game we play sounds very simple but boy is it fun. This calls for a piece of paper for every player,one dice and one pen. The players stand up around the dining room table or I guess you could sit but it would limit the number of players. The goal is to start writing to a 100 on your piece of paper ex: 1,2,3, at the same time the player to your right is rolling the dice trying to roll a 1. When the player to the right rolls a 1 he/she takes the pen from you and begins to write to 100 while the player to the right tries to roll a 1 etc all around the table. The first person to get to a 100 wins the game. There is some strategy, if you roll the dice from way up it will take longer and the other person will have more time to write numbers. Also you could have a mean sister in law,LOL, who will yank the pen out of your hand and punch you at the same time. LOL Sounds simple but lots of fun especially if all those playing are around the same numbers at the same time.
