Gift passing Games, sometimes called "Right Left Games", are fun and great when you have a large crowd, are trying to involve everyone at the same time, and even when you are working with different age groups.
How it works:
Gifts are passed out to everyone and then a story is read. (Another option is to only give a gift to every 3rd person or so. In this case, not everyone gets a gift, only the lucky few!)
The story is already prepared ahead of time, and the word "left" and the word "right" appears often.
Whenever the word "right" is said, everyone passes their gift to the right.
Whenever the word "left" is said, everyone passes their gift to the person on their left.
You can make up your own story, or purchase one that is already prepared. Here are some examples of Right Left Passing Games that you can purchase from PrintableGamesAtoZ.com.
