CHRISTMAS GIFT EXCHANGEThis is great fun for a party or for a family gift exchange. You will want to have a few wrapped presents as you'll want to play this game more than once. Choose simple gifts that are appropriate for any of the players. All players sit close together in a circle while one person reads the story aloud. A player in the circle is given one of the wrapped presents. As the story is read, the gift will be passed from player to player. When the players hear the word "RIGHT", the gift is passed to the player on their right. When the players hear the word "LEFT", they pass the gift to the left. When the story ends, the player holding the gift get to open it and keep whatever is inside. Here's one story - you can make up your own version if you prefer… It was Christmas Eve and Mrs Right was busy preparing goodies in the kitchen. The Christmas tarts were almost ready to come out of the oven. Gingerbread men needed frosting and the turkey to pick up. A few gifts LEFT to wrap. There wasn't much LEFT to be done. She nodded her head as she mentally ticked off everything LEFT to do before Christmas Day. After all, she wanted to get everything just RIGHT for this special day! Little Danny RIGHT climbed onto a chair and gazed at the gingerbread men spread out before him. Would Momma notice if one was missing? What about just an arm or a leg? No, she would see what was LEFT and know he'd been nibbling. It wouldn't be RIGHT, he thought with a sigh. Especially not on Christmas Eve with Santa coming tonight! Only a few hours LEFT! Mrs RIGHT poured milk onto Danny's cereal and place the bowl to the LEFT of his orange juice. "Eat your breakfast," she told him, then go RIGHT upstairs and get dressed. We'll go shopping with my list of errands that are still LEFT to do. Soon they drove out of the driveway and headed RIGHT toward the shopping centre. Mrs. RIGHT hoped there would be some of those delicious oranges LEFT and Mr. RIGHT had declared last evening that the new flavour of eggnog was just RIGHT out of this world so she hoped there was some LEFT. Meanwhile, Mr. RIGHT left the butcher's shop with their Christmas turkey and headed RIGHT down North Avenue. He had one more present LEFT to pick up that he'd LEFT until today and he was very excited that it was just the RIGHT present for Mrs. RIGHT. He turned RIGHT and pulled into the parking lot, then trudged through the snow to the shop. Christmas was finally almost here! Mrs. RIGHT and Danny RIGHT arrived home and walked into the kitchen. Mr. RIGHT was back already and their daughter Patty RIGHT was with him. They were each eating a gingerbread man. All that was LEFT of Patty's was the RIGHT arm and she popped that RIGHT into her mouth.
We're finally ready for Christmas, Mrs. RIGHT exclaimed. Nothing LEFT to do so let's wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and play some games!!
