25 Christmas games

Every time the reader says the word “right” everyone passes their gift to the right. Every time the reader says the word “left” everyone passes left. Since the story is written with LOTS of rights and lefts, things get confusing and hilarious! Click through to this post to get the printable Left Right story.
