How can the 'left right' be incorporated into a Christmas game related to the Nativity story?

One way is to use the game to act out the Nativity story. Divide the players into two groups, 'right' and 'left'. The 'right' group could be responsible for the events leading up to the birth, like Mary's acceptance of the news from the angel. The 'left' group could then take over for the events after the birth, such as the visit of the shepherds. As the game progresses, the story unfolds in a more interactive way.

Well, the Right, Left Christmas game can be seen as a modern take on the values from the Nativity story. The Nativity story is about giving, love, and new beginnings. The game, where presents are passed from right to left, can be thought of as a way to mimic the act of giving. For example, the wise men gave their precious gifts to Jesus. In the game, we pass along wrapped presents, and it can remind us of the selfless giving in the Nativity story.

Well, one could stretch it and say that just as the characters in the Nativity story moved in different directions (like Mary and Joseph traveling to Bethlehem), in the 'left right christmas game' players also follow directions. But this is a very tenuous connection.

The Nativity story mainly focuses on the birth of Jesus. However, the 'right and left Christmas game' could potentially be related in a creative way. For example, it could be a game where players are divided into 'right' and 'left' groups and they retell parts of the Nativity story. Maybe the 'right' group could start with the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, and the 'left' group could continue with the arrival at the stable and the birth of Jesus. This would be a fun and educational way to engage people, especially children, in the Nativity story during Christmas time.

You can start with a Christmas story like Santa is delivering presents. Then, whenever he makes a turn left or right in the story, that's when the players pass an item. For example, 'Santa turned left at the big pine tree', and the item moves left.

One way could be to create a treasure hunt game. 'Right' and 'left' could be used as directions. For example, you could have a map of the nativity scene and the players are given clues like 'Go left to find the shepherds' or 'Turn right to reach the manger'. 'Free' could mean that the players are free to explore the scene in any order they like as long as they follow the directional clues to find all the elements of the nativity story.

The left right game can be incorporated by having characters like the Christmas mice. They are trying to find their way to the big cheese under the Christmas tree. But they have to follow the left right commands. Every wrong move leads them to a cat's toy or a mousetrap (without getting caught of course). It makes for a funny adventure as they scurry around in a panic.

To create it, first write out the nativity story. Include details about the angel visiting Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, and the birth of Jesus. Then, at random intervals, insert the words 'right' and 'left'. After that, format it in a printable layout. You can add some simple Christmas - themed pictures around the text to make it more appealing.

The Christmas Nativity story doesn't directly focus on 'right' and 'left' in a major way. But if we think about it, when we imagine the stable where Jesus was born, the animals could be on one side (left or right) of the manger. The important thing is that the story is about the birth of Jesus, which is a miraculous event that brings hope and salvation, regardless of such directional aspects.

I'm not sure of the exact rules of this specific 'left and right christmas game nativity story'. But it could be that you start by sitting in a circle. When the game begins, one person starts by saying something related to the nativity story like 'Mary was visited by an angel' and then passes an object (like a small nativity - themed figurine) to the person on their left or right. That person then has to add another part of the story and pass it on.
