Left-Right games are fun, hilarious, and perfect for groups. Today I am sharing two cute and original Free Printable Birthday Left-Right games that are written by a human which is me. 🙂 You can play both games or choose one of these to play at the birthday party. Both are suitable for a gathering of all age groups. Games are a fun way to mingle, interact and spend some quality screen-free time. I try my level best to keep creating more and more games so people can stay off the screens.

How to Play
You can play these left-right games in two ways
Method 1: Ask the participants to bring a small wrapped gift to the birthday party that is different from the one they are bringing for the birthday celebrant. At the time of this game, gather them in a circle with the gift in the hand of each player. A narrator reads the left-right story. When the narrator says left each participant gives their gift to the participant on the left, and when they say right, gift is given to the player on the right. This way, each player leaves with a gift at the end.
Method 2: This is the classic pass-the-parcel game style. Give the players a gift, parcel, or cushion. As the narrator reads the story, the players pass the parcel to the next person. When the narrator says left the parcel should be passed to the left, and when they say right, it should be passed to the right. If the parcel is already moving in the direction that the narrator reads, players should keep moving it in that direction. The narrator should read the stories slowly so the cushion keeps moving.
