Are you ready to add a sprinkle of magic to your Christmas party or family holiday fun? Look no further than our delightful “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game—a whimsical and interactive experience for children and adults alike! This printable game is a perfect addition to any holiday gathering, making gift-giving extra fun while adding a touch of Christmas spirit.

Not only is this game great for parties, but it can also be a charming surprise from your Christmas elf visitor. Imagine the excitement when the elf introduces this magical activity to your kids!

How the “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game Works

The game is centered around a fun and engaging story filled with the words “left” and “right.” As the story is read aloud, participants pass a small gift (or several gifts) to the person on their left or right whenever those words are mentioned. By the end of the story, the gift could end up in anyone’s hands!

What You Need to Play:

• Our printable “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game
• Christmas Elf Doll (optional)
• A small wrapped gift (or multiple gifts if you have a larger group)
• A group of eager participants!

This holiday game is perfect for any Christmas gathering, whether it’s a cozy family night or a classroom holiday party. It’s easy to set up, requires minimal materials, and guarantees lots of laughter as gifts are passed back and forth!

Fun Ideas to Involve Your Christmas Elf Visitor

If your family has a Christmas elf visiting for the season, this game provides the perfect opportunity for them to join the fun! Here are some ideas on how your elf can play a role in this magical game:

• Elf as the Gift Bearer: Imagine your elf arriving one morning with a small wrapped gift, ready for the kids to use in the Pass the Present game. They could leave a note encouraging everyone to gather around for a special surprise!
• Elf as the Storyteller: Your elf could be found sitting with the printable game story in hand, as if they’re about to read it aloud. This adds an extra layer of excitement for the kids as they prepare to play the game.
• Elf’s Personal Touch: To add a little extra magic, the elf could leave behind some holiday-themed wrapping paper or small trinkets to be used as the “gifts” in the game. This adds a personalized touch that your kids will love!
• Elf Surprise Gift: After the game, the elf might leave behind a surprise gift for the winner or for all the kids to share. Whether it’s a small toy, a holiday treat, or even a sweet note, the possibilities are endless!

Does the Elf Bring Gifts?

A common question families ask is, “Does the elf bring gifts?” The answer varies depending on your family’s traditions! Some families like to keep the elf as a playful visitor who only causes a little mischief or fun, while others enjoy adding a gift-giving element to their elf’s daily appearances.

If you decide that your elf will bring gifts, here are a few ideas:

• Small, Simple Gifts: Candy canes, holiday stickers, or mini Christmas ornaments make for great, inexpensive surprises.
• Gifts for Group Games: Your elf could leave behind a wrapped gift to be used in a fun game like the Pass the Parcel Elf Game.
• One Big Surprise: Some families enjoy having the elf bring one special gift on Christmas Eve or just before they say goodbye for the season.

Whether or not your elf brings gifts is completely up to you! The important thing is to make the tradition work for your family and create holiday memories filled with joy.

Why You’ll Love the Pass the Gift Elf Game

Tips to Make It Extra Special

• Use Multiple Gifts: For larger groups, consider using several small gifts so that more people end up with something by the end of the game.
• Create a Festive Atmosphere: Play some Christmas music in the background, set up holiday decorations, and have some hot cocoa ready to sip on while playing the game.
• Make It a Surprise: If you’re hosting a party, keep the gift wrapped and a mystery until the end of the game. The excitement of wondering what’s inside adds an extra element of fun!
