Left Right stories and games are always a hit, no matter the size or age of the group!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created this original story for you to use at your next Christmas Women\u2019s Ministry event<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll meet Mama Wright and Suzie Wright who are running late for the big Christmas brunch at church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With very little tweaking, it could be used for really any Women\u2019s Ministry event, fellowship, Bible study, or Small group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However you choose to use it \u2013 your women will laugh as they scramble to keep up with your emcee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas Left Right Game<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Group size:<\/strong> 8 or more<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time needed:<\/strong> 15-20 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supplies:<\/strong> Printed copy of story, microphone<\/a>, and wrapped gift(s)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

If your group is not seated at tables or in a circle, you will want to have them stand and form a circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randomly distribute the gifts around the circle or table(s). If each attendee has brought their own gift, they will start the game with their gift in their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Say, \u201cWe have a story to share with you all today. When you hear the word \u201cright\u201d please pass the gift you are holding one person to the right. When you hear the word \u201cleft\u201d, please pass the gift you are holding one person to the left. The person\/people holding a gift at the end of the story is\/are the winner(s).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Emcee, using a microphone, will read the story very slowly, emphasizing each \u201cLEFT or \u201cRIGHT\u201d as noted in all caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Ways to Play:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Purchase and wrap 1 small gift per table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Purchase and wrap 2 (or more) small gifts per table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Ask every attendee to bring a $5 gift (have extras on hand for any who may have forgotten).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Purchase and wrap 1 small gift for every 8 women in attendance (approximately).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
