Christmas carols singing has long been a common and popular tradition in many countries since the 4th century AD. Many Latin hymns that were sung in ancient Rome are still sung in some of the churches. Over the following centuries, the tradition of singing these Christmas hymns spread to North European monasteries, and later to other parts of France, Germany and Italy and eventually all over the world. But as of today, only a handful would have drawn a carol. Confused? It's the game called Draw the Carol that makes it possible. The game works within the framework of another popular game called Pictionary, in which the team representative has to draw symbols on a white board, which will have to be decoded by the other team members. The team members have to guess the word given to the representative by the opposite team. Only this time, you'll be symbolizing to convey the lyrics of the carol, and if guessed right, the same carol will have to be sung by all the members of that team. Fun isn't it?
