Left Right Game is one of the most popular Christmas Games. Today I am sharing 5 Free Printable Christmas Left Right Games for Adults and Kids that are funny and will fill your Christmas gift exchange with giggles and laughter.
Where to Play Christmas Left Right Game?
This fun game can be played at any Christmas get-together. From having some Christmas fun at your home to your workplace. You can also play this game with a Christmas party that you are throwing for your neighbors or your extended family. This game is suitable for all age groups so this will help everyone bond and have some fun time together.
How to Play Christmas Left Right Game
I am sharing two fun ways to play this popular Christmas game.
Method 1: If you want to add some fun to your Christmas gathering, you can ask your guests to bring a small, wrapped gift such as candy or chocolate bars. To play the game, gather everyone in a circle and have them hold the gift they brought. Choose someone to be the narrator and have them read a story. Whenever the narrator says “right,” the participant must pass their gift to the person sitting on their right, and when the narrator says “left,” they should pass it to the person on their left. At the end of the story, each person will keep the gift they are holding. This game is an excellent way to add some excitement to your Christmas celebration!
Method 2: An alternative way to play this game is by using the classic pass-the-parcel format. To do this, you need to prepare a parcel filled with goodies or favors and have the players sit in a circle. The game starts with a narrator reading a story while the parcel is passed around the circle. If the narrator says “right”, the parcel should be passed to the person on the right. Similarly, if the parcel is already being passed to the right, it should continue in that direction. The same rule applies to “left”. If the narrator says “left”, the parcel should be passed to the person on the left and continue in that direction if it is already being passed that way. In this way, the parcel is passed around the circle while the story is being told. At the end of the game, the person who is holding the parcel gets to keep it as a prize.

The Left Right games are great! Thanks! I was wondering about the Night Before Christmas. It’s missing the rest of the story.
Ok I’ll try to make full story game next Christmas. 🙂
I’ve downloaded the free pintable’s but every time I click on the downloads all I get are pop ups telling me to download and install or Run and Install. Downloading anything is so hard. WHY does everything have to be downloaded???
They are probably ads as my free printables are pretty straightforward to download. Just disregard the download prompts and save the larger game printable image that opens up.
