Everyone sits in a circle holding a wrapped gift: the one they brought, or one handed out at random. One person reads the story aloud, not too fast. Each time the story says left, every player passes the gift in their hands to the person on their left; each time it says right, to the right. When the story ends, the gift you are holding is yours to keep, or to open first.
Read the story through once to yourself first, so the capitals do not catch you out. Pause a beat after each LEFT and RIGHT so the gifts can travel, and speed up near the end for the laughs. With a big group, two gifts on the move at once from opposite sides of the circle make it louder still.
Type over the story to tell one about your own family, class or office: the burnt turkey, the late train, the cat in the tree. Use left and right as often as you can, in any sense (left the house, the right answer); the sheet prints each one in capitals and counts them at the foot of the page.
A Christmas story to read aloud while everyone passes the presents round the circle: 17 lefts and 21 rights, from the last-minute shopping to Santa’s boots in the fireplace, each one printed in capitals. The story below is an example to type over.
