When I saw this game I knew we had to try it at my daughter's 11th birthday! We were able to customize it and include the b-day girls name & her sisters! It was so fun to play and my girls loved it so much they continued to play it even after the party ended & the guests left! =)
needed lots of adult support

My daughters birthday party had 10 6&7 years olds who needed quite abit of adult support to keep them going through this game...possibly too long for this age group? A shorter version would have been better.
Had a GREAT time!

I have been playing a left, right, across game with my family for the past few years on Christmas Eve day when we have our big Christmas celebration. I was so pleased to find another story with left and right in it. The kids and adults loved it! We played several of the games at Christmas and all were enjoyable.

The idea of this game was really fun. We had a very large group we were playing this with and we found out that the gifts (we had two) didn't get very far from the starting person. I would suggest adding in more lefts and/or rights to get the gift(s) to move around the cirle. Other than that, the group we had which was ALL boys, had a great time with this game and they thought the story was very funny!
Kids enjoed it, too long for the age group.

We shortened it as it was too long for the age group (5 yrs), which I had expected. When they started to lose interest, we gave them a last paragraph warning.
Too Long of a story...

We played this at my daughter's birthday party after the guests arrived. It was a great ice-breaker and beginning to the party which lasted 6 hours. We played the version where you have 2 wrapped gifts go around the circle at the same time. I read the story very fast so the children had to listen very carefully.
Was too long-children lost interest

There were 8 children (8-10 yrs old) and were excited when we started this game. More than halfway thru, they started to lose interest. I think a new shorter version should be created.

To ensure all guests can participate you will want to match up the presents to the number of guests. For example, we had 8 people and 3 gifts being passed around yet there were still 2 people that did not really have a chance. Either that or add more lefts and rights to the story so that the present will travel further throughout the group.
Guests loved it!

My daughter turned 9 this year and we wanted to have a party at home with some fun games and this one was a hit. I wrapped 11 pieces of jewelry up and we played so everyone won something at the end. All the girls loved it and we personalized it which made it more special. I would highly recommend this game!
Great fun

It was funny but some of the younger kids had a hard time knowing which way to go so we had an adult stand in the middle of the circle to keep it going the way it was supposed to. This was the first time for me to use this website and I was happy with it.
Loved the game

I made it suitable to my daughter Paris - she was 8 years old and invited 14 girls. I think you have a great variety of games and at a very affordable price.
