Rudolph might have been different, but he wasn’t the only one in the North Pole with a secret! Use this fun and hilarious game to distribute door prizes, Secret Santa, or gag gifts.
Give each guest a gift and have them sit in a circle. Read the following story aloud and instruct the guests to pass the gifts to their RIGHT or LEFT as the story prompts. Whatever they are holding at the end of the story is theirs to keep!
It was the night before Christmas, and Santa was in his cozy workshop, checking his famous list one last time.
He had to make sure everything was just RIGHT before his big trip. But there was a problem—something didn’t seem quite RIGHT at all!
Santa decided to step outside to check on the sleigh. As soon as he opened the door, a blast of cold air hit his face. He squinted into the night.
“Oh no,” he said. “This fog is so thick, I can barely see a few feet to the RIGHT or the LEFT! How will we deliver gifts in this weather?”
“What am I going to do?” Santa wondered aloud. “This fog might make it impossible to deliver gifts tonight.
What if I get the sleigh stuck in a chimney or go RIGHT past someone’s house by mistake?”
Meanwhile, over in the reindeer barn, Rudolph was LEFT sitting by himself. His shiny red nose glowed brightly in the dim light, but it wasn’t making him feel any better.
The other reindeer had LEFT him out of their reindeer games again.
“They just don’t understand,” Rudolph sighed. “But maybe tonight, I’ll find a way to make things RIGHT.”
Just then, Santa appeared in the doorway, looking worried. He held up a lantern, but it didn’t help much in the thick fog. Suddenly, he noticed a bright red glow coming from the RIGHT side of the barn.
