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

Simple to Set Up: All you need is a printable game sheet, a small gift, and some eager participants!
Perfect for All Ages: Kids, teens, and even adults can enjoy the fun of passing a gift as the story unfolds.
Fun for Parties or Family Gatherings: This game works wonderfully at holiday parties, classroom events, or as a new family tradition during the Christmas season.

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!

Bring the Magic of Christmas into Your Home

The “Left-Right” Christmas Elf Story Game is a wonderful way to keep the holiday spirit alive in your home. Whether your Christmas elf introduces the game or it’s simply part of your festive activities, it’s sure to bring smiles and laughter to all who play.

This unique and fun idea for The Elf on the Shelf was shared with Frugal Coupon Living by Elf enthusiast Clare S., and it’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before! In this clever scene, your child can actually wear their Christmas companion all day long by crafting a creative wearable Christmas sweater that features The Elf on the Shelf right on the front. With a little bit of crafting and imagination, your family elf can “hang out” with your child wherever they go. Using simple supplies like mirror card stock, plastic, and tinsel, this fun idea is the perfect way to get your child excited about spending the day with their tiny scout. The end result? A festive and playful way for your child to carry their favorite Christmas companion wherever they go!

Can You Carry The Elf on the Shelf?

Yes, you can carry The Elf on the Shelf! But remember the Elf rules, you cannot touch the Elf. With this creative DIY Elf shirt idea, your child can wear The Elf on the Shelf right on their clothing, allowing them to carry their festive scout all day long. By securing the elf inside a custom-made shirt design, your little one can take their Christmas companion wherever they go, adding an extra bit of holiday fun to their day. This is a playful way for your child to interact with their tiny elf while keeping the magic alive!

How to Create the Wearable Elf on the Shelf Stunt

Get ready to take elf anywhere! In this creative scene, you’ll make it look like your family elf is sitting inside a t-shirt, ready for a day full of adventure. By cutting out a circle of mirror card stock and placing your little visitor inside the shirt with clear plastic and tinsel to complete the look, your child can proudly show off their festive scout all day long. Whether your child is at home or out and about, this clever elf setup adds an extra bit of holiday magic to their day.

Supplies Needed for Your Christmas Elf’s Wearable Stunt

The Elf on the Shelf Doll
T-shirt or Sweater (one you don’t mind altering)
Circle of silver mirror contact paper
Clear plastic (to cover the elf)
Hot glue gun
Tinsel (to hide the glue edges)
Bean bag filling (optional, to create a snow effect)
Card stock and markers (to write a fun message)
Optional: Extra Christmas crafts for recording the shirt

Instructions for How to Wear The Elf on the Shelf

Start by choosing a t-shirt that you don’t mind-altering.
Cut a circle out of silver mirror card stock and hot glue it to the front of the t-shirt. This will serve as the “background” for your elf.
Position your festive scout in the middle of the circle on the shirt, arranging the little guy to sit as if they’re ready to hang out with your child.
If you want to create a snow effect, add some stuffing from a bean bag around the elf for an extra playful touch.
Using the hot glue gun, carefully glue clear plastic over the holiday helper to secure them in place. Be sure to leave some room so that the elf is visible but protected.
Add tinsel around the edges of the plastic to hide any hot glue and make the design look festive and clean.
Once everything is dry, write a fun message from your jolly sprite, like “Let’s hang out today” or “Let’s go on an adventure—me and you!”
Now your child can wear their magical elf all day long, bringing holiday cheer everywhere they go!

This fun and interactive “elf on the go” idea is a creative way to let your child spend the day with their favorite little friend. It’s sure to be a big hit and will make this year’s elf antics even more special proving the age-old elf question “Can I take The Elf on the Shelf with me?”

How to Play the Candy Dice Game

Set Up the Game: Lay out a bowl of candy or treats in the center of the table. Each player will need access to the dice and their own handful of candy to start.
Roll and Play: Players take turns rolling the dice and following the instructions on the printable game sheet. Each number corresponds to a fun action—some will have you give candy to others, some will let you keep a piece for yourself, and others may have a little playful twist like trading candy or passing candy around the table.
Keep the Fun Going: The game continues until everyone’s had a few turns, and candy has been swapped, shared, and enjoyed! It’s a festive way to spread holiday cheer while keeping everyone entertained.

Incorporating Your Christmas Elf Visitor

Candy Trail: To build up the excitement, the elf could leave a little candy trail leading to the game setup, inviting the kids to follow the treats and discover the fun dice game waiting for them.
Elf as a Candy Guard: Your elf might act as the guardian of the candy bowl, ensuring that only the dice rolls determine who gets the next piece!

Next, using your finger, write the message “See You Next Year” on the window.

Why Choose an Easter Scavenger Hunt?

Traditional Easter Egg Hunt Ideas are fun, but why not give it a bit of a twist? Easter scavenger hunts are versatile, engaging, and perfect for all ages. Whether you’re entertaining toddlers, teens, or even adults, a scavenger hunt can add an exciting twist to your holiday. From rhyming riddles to meaningful Bible trivia, these activities bring fun, learning, and family bonding together.

Take a look at these fun ideas below. They will become your favorite traditions!

1. Bible Easter Scavenger Hunt: 24 Questions to Explore the Easter Story

For a meaningful activity that dives into the heart of Easter, try a Bible Easter Scavenger Hunt. This hunt combines the fun of a scavenger game with Easter trivia, encouraging kids to explore the Easter story through 24 Bible-based questions.

How It Works:

Provide each child or team with a Bible.
Provide the 24 Easter trivia questions, each tied to a verse from the Easter story.
Challenge them to find the answers by reading the Bible passages.

Sample Questions:

“What happened at the Temple when Jesus died in Matthew 27:50-51?”
“What did the angel say to the women in Matthew 28:5-8?”
“In Mark 15:21, who helped Jesus carry the cross?”

This Easter Scavenger hunt for older kids is ideal for Sunday school, youth groups, or families looking to deepen their understanding of the Easter story.

2. Christian Easter Story Scavenger Hunt Printable

Celebrate Easter with a meaningful twist by incorporating a Christ-centered scavenger hunt into your festivities! This Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt blends engaging fun with the powerful story of Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. Designed for families, Sunday school groups, or homeschoolers, this scavenger hunt leads participants through the Easter story using riddles that highlight key moments and symbols of faith.

Highlights of the Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt

Faith-Focused Clues: These different clues guide children to uncover the story of Jesus’ resurrection step by step with 20 rhyming riddles.
Interactive and Fun: Each clue connects to a meaningful element of the Easter story, making the experience both exciting and educational.

Hide the Clues: Place the cards in creative locations around your home or yard.
Solve Together: As children follow the clues, they’ll journey through the Easter story, reflecting on its powerful message of love and hope.
Celebrate at the End: Conclude the hunt with a special reward—a meaningful keepsake, faith-inspired treat, or even turn this into an Easter Basket Scavenger Hunt with a giant basket from the bunny at the end!

This Christian Easter Scavenger Hunt offers a unique way to reflect on the true meaning of the season while creating lasting memories with your family. Whether used at home or in a group setting, it’s the perfect activity to celebrate the joy of Jesus’ resurrection.

Add small prizes, candy-filled eggs, or save a big Easter basket as the final reward.

This hunt is customizable—omit clues that don’t fit your home, and rearrange the order to suit your layout.

Easter Egg Hiding Riddles are great for controlling your child’s environment. They lead your child around the home instead of letting them run wherever on a traditional Easter Egg Hunt.

Easter Scavenger Hunt Ideas for All Ages

How do you make Easter fun? A guided Easter Scavenger Hunt is a fun way to twist up the classic Easter Egg Hunt tradition. With our 20 at-home scavenger hunt clues, hop through the house with Easter-themed clues using rhyming riddles.

There are a few different ways you can handle this Easter Treasure hunt. Have an Easter egg with candy at each location, have a fun little treasure or treat with your clues, or save a big Easter basket for the end of the Easter bunny treasure hunt.

Use scavenger hunts at easter with the following age groups.

Toddlers and Preschoolers: Younger children may need help reading the clues. Pair younger elementary-age kids with an older sibling or adult for an exciting bunny hop from one location to the next. Add interactive fun by encouraging them to “hop like a bunny” or “wiggle their noses” between clues.
Tweens and Teens: Older kids can enjoy more challenging riddles and tailored prizes like money, gift cards, or small gadgets. This ensures they stay engaged and excited about the hunt.
Adults: Why let the kids have all the fun? Create a grown-up scavenger hunt with clues leading to treats like gourmet chocolate, mini wine bottles, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Let’s elaborate!

Easter Scavenger Hunt for Toddlers

These Easter Scavenger Hunt clues are very appropriate for preschoolers. If you have a child who cannot read an adult or older sibling can help them read the clues and solve the Easter Scavenger hunt riddles. Have them get silly hopping like a bunny to each new location.

Easter Egg Hunt Clues for Older Child

As a mother of five, I know the older kids tend to be left out of the treasure hunt fun especially when it comes to your outdoor Easter egg hunt. Apparently no one likes to see a teen with an Easter egg basket out racing young kids. While the little kids can delight in the outside Easter Egg treasure hunt fun, allow your youth and tweens to enjoy an at home Easter Treasure hunt. Fill the teen eggs with only something they would love like make-up, new phone chargers, fuzzy socks, sour candy, or even money!

Easter Egg Riddles for Adults

Gift your spouse some inner childhood Easter fun. Use these Easter egg hunt riddles for adults instead of the kids. Fill plastic eggs with fancy candy one would never share with the kids. Alternative Easter Egg fillers for adults could also include mini alcohol bottles, socks, tie, self-care products, or even lottery tickets.

Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt

What about a fun twist? Try this alternative to Easter morning. Another fun way to twist up the traditional Easter Egg hunt is with glow in the dark eggs. You can buy glow in the dark eggs or make your own DIY glow in the dark eggs. Pair with your treasure hunt clues for a fun adventure and prize after the sun goes down.

All of these fun Easter ideas can be a scavenger hunt with eggs or without.

Easter Scavenger Hunt FAQs

Do I have to use all 20 Easter Scavenger Hunt Clues?

Not at all! Tailor the hunt to your space and audience. In the scavenger hunts with clue cards, you can split these Easter Scavenger Hunt clues. For example, if you don’t have a flower pot or the freezer is not a place you want your child to go, omit that treasure hunt card. In the Easter Story scavenger hunt, try to eliminate as few cards as possible as it tells the story of Easter with the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

What are fun Easter Games?

Scavenger Hunts make fun Easter games for groups or inviduals. You can find similar content and more fun Easter game ideas. These include Easter Minute to Win it Games and Easter Party Games.

Who is this Treasure Hunt Appropriate for?

These treasure hunts can be used with toddlers, young kids, teens, and even adults. The riddles would be geared to a child, but there is no reason that an inner child cannot have fun with the Easter activity too. Pair older kids with younger kids that cannot read or solve riddles.

Do you use Easter eggs in this hunt?

The use of Plastic Easter eggs and the amount of prizes is up to you. Have an Easter egg with a treat at each clue stop or have a large prize at the end of the treasure hunt. Adapt to what works for your home, family or Easter party guests.

What are good prize ideas?

Candy is a classic choice, but mix it up with small toys, trinkets, or experience-based prizes like “movie night” or “pizza party” coupons. For example, keep it simple and prize ideas can include candy – just like your traditional egg hunt. To twist it up and personalize your hunt. Fun things to put in Easter eggs are money, stickers, socks, rings, necklaces, erasers, and small trinkets. One alternative is experiences. Write on a piece of paper like popcorn night, pizza out, go to the movie theater, etc. Your child can trade in their coupons throughout the ear for entertainment events with mom or dad. These are things you might otherwise do, anyway.

When is a good time to have a scavenger hunt?

There are many times of year you can host a scavenger hunt. Our favorite is the Birthday Scavenger Hunt leading your child to find a birthday present at each stop along the away. Also look at the Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Camping Scavenger Hunt. See more here.
