The left right game is the bridal shower game everyone can play at once: wrapped prizes in every lap, one person reading, and the prizes traveling round the circle at every LEFT and every RIGHT. The stories online are the same for every bride. This one has the bride’s name in it, and a line for every guest you type.
How to play
- Sit in a circle and hand out the wrapped prizes.
- One person reads the story out loud, at an easy pace.
- At every LEFT, pass your prize to the left. At every RIGHT, pass it to the right.
- When the story ends, the prize in your hands is yours.
What is in the story
The afternoon of the shower: flowers by the door, a balloon arch, a quiz about the couple, a wedding dress made of toilet paper, advice cards, guesses about how the couple met, and the first gift held up the wrong way round. The long version adds the toast and the confetti. Every LEFT and every RIGHT is printed in bold so the reader cannot miss one, and the page counts them all.
What it costs
Nothing. No account, no watermark, no email. The left right game has a Christmas story and a gift swap story for any party, and the baby shower version has one for the next shower.
Questions
How do you play the left right game at a bridal shower?
Guests sit in a circle holding wrapped prizes, one each or a few around the circle. One person reads the story out loud; at every LEFT, everyone holding a prize passes it to the left, at every RIGHT to the right. When the story ends, whoever is holding a prize keeps it.
Can the bride's name be in the story?
Yes. Type it, and the story is about this shower: the bride-to-be asks whether this is the right room, gets every quiz answer about the couple except the one about the dishes, and gets the last line of the story. Leave it empty and the story says the bride-to-be. Each guest name you type gets a line of its own too.
How many prizes do you need?
As many as you like: one for every guest so everyone goes home with something, or three or four so the circle keeps watching who ends up holding one. The page tells you how far each prize travels, for example 2 places to the left of where it started.
How long does the story take to read?
About two minutes for the short story and about three for the long one; every name adds a short line. The page shows the time for your story.
Are the names uploaded?
No. The story is put together in your browser, and the file is made there too. Closing the tab erases it.
