Old name, new purpose: why we’ve gone back to RNID

RNID Christmas Dinner Game

Get your RNID Christmas Game today!

People who are deaf or have hearing loss face barriers in almost every part of daily life. Train announcements, job interviews, even around the Christmas dinner table.

We’ve created a festive game to help break down those barriers.

The RNID Christmas Dinner Game

Do you have family or friends who have hearing loss? Perhaps you are the one who often feels left out of conversations?

RNID’s Christmas Dinner Game was created to ensure that everyone at your dinner table this Christmas can have fun, while being deaf aware. This game ensures that everybody feels included (and no one misses that joke you’ve been practising!).

The game, which you will receive in the post, includes everything you need to have a festive, fun-filled dinner – including the chance to learn a bit of British Sign Language (BSL).

Family friendly with a deaf aware twist

Your Christmas Dinner Game will include six family friendly games, each with a deaf aware twist:

  • Sign sleuth (New for 2024) – Unleash your inner detective and see if you can guess the festive sign in this BSL Christmas challenge.
  • Do you see what I see? – Players take turns to draw a picture that represents what’s on their cards – first correct guess wins.
  • Read my lips – Uncover some Christmas cheer in our lip-reading game.
  • Sign it – Use your BSL fingerspelling cheat sheet to spell out Christmas phrases. Your partner must guess as many as they can in one minute.
  • Act out – Players take turns to act out Christmas-themed phrases – the first to guess correctly wins.
  • The reindeer game (New for 2024) – Race to create ‘antlers’ on a chosen player’s head in this fast-paced elimination game – be quick, or you’re out.

This Christmas let’s make sure no one is left out.

Support our work

In return for your game, we’re asking for a suggested donation of £10 to help break down the invisible barriers that affect one in three of us in the UK.

Your kind donation will support:

  • Funding vital research projects to improve technology and find treatments for those who want them
  • Services like our free online hearing check, which so far has helped more than 444,000 people take the first step to looking after their hearing health
  • Campaigning together for a more inclusive society, from calling for more subtitles and signing, to making sure you can get ear wax removal on the NHS.
