Object: Chanukah fun!
Number of players: 2 or more (the more the merrier)
Ages: 5-105
You will need:
- one wrapped gift per player
- “right–left” story
How to play:
Players sit around the table or in a circle on the floor, each holding a wrapped package. No peeking!
The caller reads the right–left story slowly and clearly. Each time the word “right” is read, each player passes their package to the person on their right. When the word “left” is read, each package is passed to the left. Continue the story in this manner, passing the gifts back and forth. Young children will definitely need the help of the adult cheering squad. Giggling adult players may also get confused. At the end of the story, each player opens and keeps the gift that they are holding.

I played this game at the local Chabad ladies event and laughed and laughed. I am so happy I found your version online so I can play it with my grandchildren.
