The Left-Right Game
One holiday tradition that is always a fan favorite is playing games with friends and family. And what better game to play than the Left-Right Game?! If you’ve never played this game before, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered.
First, gather everyone in a circle and hand out a small gift to each person. Then, read the Christmas story that accompanies the Left-Right Game out loud.
