This article goes through all the ends and outs and fun twists to make sure you (and your guests) have an awesome time.

Are you ready? Let’s get started.

What is the Easter Bunny Left Right Story Game?

The Easter Bunny Left-Right Story Game is a fun printable easter party game for kids and adults. In this mishmash of left-right storytelling and gift exchange, players pass around an Easter gift while taking turns reading a silly tale. 

As key words like “left” and “right” are read aloud, players pass the gift to the left or right. It’s an exciting easter egg exchange activity that brings laughter and surprises.

This easter left right game is perfect for classrooms, parties, and family gatherings.  It’s a party game, an easter game, and a printable easter extravaganza all rolled into one.

Here’s all the deets for how to play:

Objective: To follow the story’s directions, passing gifts to the left or right, and see who ends up with what gift by the end. It’s all about the surprise and excitement of not knowing which gift you’ll end up with.

Materials:

• A pre-written Easter-themed story with plenty of “lefts” and “rights” to dictate the game’s flow.
• Small gifts for participants to pass around. These can be anything from Easter eggs to small toys or candies, all wrapped up to add to the surprise.

Setup:

1. Prepare the Story: Either find a pre-written story or get creative and write your own. Make sure it’s filled with lots of “left” and “right” cues.
2. Wrap the Gifts: Keep the gifts small and simple. Everyone should start with one gift in hand.
3. Gather in a Circle: Have everyone sit in a circle, each holding their wrapped gift.

Gameplay:

1. Start Reading the Story: Someone is the narrator, reading the story aloud. Whenever the story says “left”, everyone passes their gift to the left. When it says”‘right”, everyone passes to the right.
2. Keep Up the Pace: The key is to listen closely and pass quickly. The game gets funnier and more chaotic as the story speeds up.
3. End of the Story: When the story ends, whatever gift you’re holding is yours to keep.

Clever Variations for Playing the Easter Bunny Left-Right Game (Without Making It Feel Like a Chore)

Alright, folks, let’s jazz up the Easter Bunny Left-Right Story Game before everyone starts checking their phones under the table. Here’s how to keep things more unpredictable than my last attempt at baking:

1. Musical Interlude (Or How to Get Everyone Moving Without Actually Exercising): Every time someone drops the word “Easter” into the story, halt the gift-passing parade. It’s time for everyone to play a round of musical chairs, minus the chairs and the music. Just leave your gift shuffle around with the elegance of a bunny on a caffeine rush until you land in a new spot. People fighting over a spot?  Settle it with a round of Rock, Paper Scissors.
2. Gift Swap Chaos (Or How to Confuse Everyone in 3 Seconds Flat): Wait for the magic word – let’s go with “bunny” because creativity is clearly my middle name. When you hear it, it’s time for everyone to swap gifts with the person across the circle. It’s like playing hot potato, but the potatoes are potentially less desirable gifts. This twist ensures the game’s ending is more unpredictable than the status of the Easter dinner I cook every year – and trust me, that’s saying something.
3. Mystery Gift Unveil (Because Everyone Loves a Surprise…Right?): Halfway through the game, throw in a curveball. Everyone must unwrap their gift and then continue the game exchanging unwrapped gifts. It’s like revealing your secret talent at a party, only to find out it’s not so secret or, frankly, not much of a talent. Expect reactions ranging from delight to the kind of polite confusion that mirrors people’s response to my husband’s cooking.

Variation	Pros	Cons	Cautionary Tips
Musical Interlude	Adds a dynamic physical element to keep players engaged.	Can lead to confusion or delays in large or cramped spaces.	Ensure ample space and prep participants to avoid vase casualties and puzzled looks.
Mystery Gift Unveil	Injects a level of unpredictability and excitement, like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag.	Potential disappointment with unwrapped gifts	Only have gifts that are universally appealing, like my attempts at humor.
Gift Swap Chaos	Injects unpredictability and excitement, making the game memorable.	Can create confusion or slight chaos if not well managed.	Choose a clear trigger word and ensure everyone knows their opposite player to avoid gift-swap mix-ups.

3 Ways to Gather Gifts for the Easter Left-Right Story Game WITHOUT Going Broke

Gathering gifts for the Easter Bunny Left-Right Story Game shouldn’t feel like you’re on a treasure hunt without a map, especially if you’re like me, someone who can lose their glasses while they’re still on their face.

Let’s dive into some foolproof (and budget-friendly) ways to stockpile those presents without needing to sell a kidney.

1. The Potluck of Gifts: Ask every guest to bring 1 or 2 small gifts. Yes, it’s like telling your friends, “Come to my party, but please bring your own fun.” It’s genius, really. You get a smorgasbord of surprises without emptying your piggy bank, and everyone gets to pat themselves on the back for their contribution to the collective joy. Just make sure Uncle Bob knows that his weird, re-gifted items from 1995 don’t count.
2. Thrift Store Treasures: Venture into the world of thrift stores, where you can find hidden gems among the…well, let’s call it “pre-loved chaos.” It’s like a scavenger hunt, but instead of looking for clues, you’re sifting through aisles of vintage goodies that can become the highlight of your Easter game. Maybe someone’s “last season” could be a fantastic game-winning gift?
3. End-of-Season Sales: Hit up those after-Christmas or post-Valentine’s Day sales where Easter-related items might already be popping up. It’s the retail world’s version of a sequel – coming out before you’ve fully digested the last holiday. Grab those discounted chocolates, Easter bunnies, and decorations. Your wallet will thank you, unlike when I impulsively bought a gym membership in January.

So, we’ve been chatting about the Easter Bunny Left-Right Game, and it hit me—I can’t just hype up this game and not let you in on the action.

That’d be like inviting you to a dinner party and then forgetting to serve dinner (not that I’ve ever done that… last Easter was an anomaly, I swear).

Here’s how to get in on this fun without spending a dime or, dare I say, much effort (my favorite kind of project):

1. Get Your Hands on the Game: Download the FREE Easter Bunny Left-Right game here.  It’s ready for the taking—no strings attached, just like my commitment to gym memberships.
2. The Magic Word – Print: Once you’ve downloaded the game, it’s time to print it out. If your printer gives you the silent treatment (mine’s on a first-name basis with the recycling bin), just coax it back to life with promises of a less jammy future.
3. Rally the Troops and the Gifts: Call up your gang—friends, family, or anyone who’s up for a good laugh and a mild workout (left, right, left, right… it’s practically an exercise routine).  And make sure you have enough gifts for each player.  And it wouldn’t hurt to have 2 or 3 extras for Easter party crashers.
4. Circle Up: Have everyone take a seat in a circle and arm them with a gift. If you forgot to mention the bring-a-gift part, fear not. That semi-alive houseplant? Fair play. The five-pack of socks from last Christmas? Gold. The mystery novel you’ve read enough to recite? Ideal.
5. Let the Games Begin: Dive into reading the story. Whenever “left” or “right” makes an appearance, everyone follows suit, passing their gift in the corresponding direction. Aim not to end up with your original gift, unless it’s one of those too-good-to-give-away deals.
