The Left Right Christian Christmas Game free printable is a simple group activity based on the Christmas story. Players sit in a circle while a leader reads a story aloud. Whenever the story says left, everyone passes a wrapped gift to the person on the left. Whenever it says right, each gift moves to the person on the right.
Christian versions commonly include references to the birth of Jesus, Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, or the wise men. This gives the activity a faith-centered focus while keeping the rules easy enough for children and adults to follow.
Who Can Use This Printable?
This game is useful for Christmas gatherings that need an easy activity with little preparation. It works well for:
- Church Christmas parties
- Sunday school classes and youth groups
- Christian homeschool gatherings
- Family Christmas Eve celebrations
- Women’s ministry or small-group events
- Classroom holiday parties with a Christian theme
The game is especially helpful for medium or large groups because everyone can participate at the same time. Younger children may need an adult to help them remember which direction to pass their gift.
How to Play
- Ask each participant to bring one small, wrapped gift, or provide inexpensive prizes for the group.
- Have everyone sit or stand in a circle and give each player one gift.
- Choose one person to read the printable story slowly and clearly.
- Pass gifts to the left whenever the reader says “left” and to the right whenever the reader says “right.”
- Continue until the story ends. Each player keeps the gift in hand at the final sentence.
For a smaller gathering, use one gift instead of asking everyone to bring one. The gift moves around the circle during the story, and the person holding it at the end receives it.
Practical Printing Tips
- Print on standard US Letter paper measuring 8.5 by 11 inches.
- Use regular white copy paper for a quick handout or heavier paper for repeated use.
- Choose portrait orientation and check the preview before printing.
- Print one copy for the reader, then place it in a folder or plastic sleeve.
- Highlight the words “left” and “right” if they are difficult to spot while reading.
- Read through the story once before the party so you can maintain a steady pace.
Keep gifts small and set a reasonable price limit if participants are bringing presents. Candy, books, ornaments, small toys, or useful household items all work well. With a faith-based story and straightforward directions, this printable makes a meaningful Christmas activity without complicated setup.
