3. Left-Right Thankful Story

This is one of those Friendsgiving activities that mixes movement, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos.

Here’s how it works:

  • Ask each guest to bring a small wrapped gift. It can be something simple like a candy bar, a candle, or even a silly gag gift.
  • Everyone sits in a circle holding their gift.
  • A designated reader tells a short, silly story that’s filled with the words “left” and “right.” (You can write your own or find printable versions online.)
  • Every time the reader says “left,” everyone passes their gift to the left. When they say “right,” gifts move the other way.
  • The story continues until the very end, and whichever gift you’re holding is the one you keep.

You know there will be guests that forget to bring a small wrapped gift. I recommend having a few on hand so they don’t miss out on the fun. Here are some ideas on Amazon:
