Here are five **Left and Right Game** options, each with a unique theme, including the one above:

---

### **Option 1: The Holiday Party (from above)**
Theme: A holiday party where things go hilariously wrong.
Read the original story, where Mr. and Mrs. RIGHT get ready for a party and deal with decorations, music, and even a playful dog.

---

### **Option 2: The Great Birthday Mix-Up**
Theme: A chaotic birthday party prep.

It was finally Sam’s big day, but everything was going wrong RIGHT from the start. The invitations had been LEFT in the car, and the balloons floated RIGHT out the window!

“Who LEFT the window open?” Sam’s mom yelled. “That’s not the RIGHT way to handle party prep!”

Sam ran to the kitchen to check the cake. “You LEFT the oven on too long!” he shouted, pulling out a cake that was definitely not the RIGHT color.

“I’ll be RIGHT back!” said Dad, dashing out to the store to get a new cake. While he was gone, Sam’s dog grabbed a slice that had been LEFT on the counter and ran RIGHT into the backyard with it.

Finally, the guests arrived. They passed their presents LEFT and RIGHT until Sam found the RIGHT one—his favorite video game! “This is the BEST birthday ever!” Sam said.

---

### **Option 3: The Camping Adventure**
Theme: A misadventure in the great outdoors.

It was the first day of camping, and the Johnson family was ready for an adventure. They LEFT home bright and early, but someone realized RIGHT away that they had LEFT the tent behind!

“We’ll have to go RIGHT back,” said Dad, turning the car around. When they finally reached the campsite, they set up RIGHT next to a stream. “Be careful! Don’t leave your shoes RIGHT there,” Mom warned, but Tim LEFT his sneakers too close to the water, and the current carried them RIGHT away!

Later, the family went hiking. “I think the trail goes LEFT,” said Dad. “No, it’s to the RIGHT!” said Mom. They argued until a ranger pointed them in the RIGHT direction.

That night, everyone sat by the fire, laughing about everything that had gone wrong. “Camping is the BEST,” Tim said, as he LEFT to toast another marshmallow.

---

### **Option 4: The Office Mishap**
Theme: A workplace comedy.

It was just another day at the office until everything started going LEFT. The printer jammed RIGHT in the middle of an important report. “Who LEFT paperclips in the tray?” the manager shouted.

“I’ll fix it RIGHT now,” said Jenny, but she LEFT the instructions in her desk drawer. Meanwhile, Bob was trying to send an email, but he hit the WRONG button and sent it to the entire company instead of the RIGHT person.

During lunch, someone LEFT their food in the fridge too long, and it started to smell. “I need a break,” said the boss, heading RIGHT out the door.

At the end of the day, everyone laughed about the chaos. “We may not always get it RIGHT, but we sure know how to keep things interesting!”

---

### **Option 5: The School Field Trip**
Theme: A school trip full of wrong turns and funny moments.

The class LEFT school early for a field trip to the museum, but the bus driver took a RIGHT turn instead of going LEFT. “Are we going the RIGHT way?” asked the teacher nervously.

When they finally arrived, one student realized he LEFT his lunch at home. “Don’t worry, I have an extra sandwich RIGHT here,” said his friend.

Inside the museum, the students had to stay with the group, but one kid went LEFT when the guide went RIGHT. “Get back here RIGHT now!” the teacher yelled.

At the gift shop, the kids passed souvenirs LEFT and RIGHT, trying to find the perfect one to take home. “This trip has been the best!” one student said as they got back on the bus.

I'm having too much fun 😁

Here are five **Chanukah-themed Left and Right games**, expanded for more fun and holiday spirit!

---

### **Option 1: The Chanukah Party Mishaps**
It was the first night of Chanukah, and the Goldstein family was getting ready for their big party. Mr. RIGHT was in charge of the menorah, but he LEFT the box of candles in the wrong drawer.

“I’ll go find them RIGHT now!” said Mrs. RIGHT, heading to the kitchen. But as she opened the cabinet, she realized the oil had been LEFT out of the shopping list.

“Who LEFT us without enough oil?” shouted Aunt Miriam. “This is not the RIGHT way to start Chanukah!” Uncle Joe laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll head RIGHT to the store.”

Meanwhile, the kids were spinning dreidels and passing chocolate gelt LEFT and RIGHT. Suddenly, one of the dreidels got stuck in the carpet, and little Avi shouted, “Who LEFT that there?”

When Uncle Joe got back, he had the RIGHT kind of oil, and everyone gathered around to light the menorah. The family sang together, passing plates of latkes LEFT and RIGHT. By the end of the evening, they all agreed: “It may not have started perfectly, but this party turned out just RIGHT!”

---

### **Option 2: The Dreidel Disaster**
The kids were excited for their annual dreidel tournament, but everything started going LEFT before it even began. Sammy LEFT his dreidel at home and had to borrow one from Sarah.

“Don’t worry, I have an extra RIGHT here!” said Sarah, handing it over. Just as the game began, Leah spun the dreidel so hard that it flew RIGHT off the table and into the pile of presents.

“Who LEFT their spin to chance like that?” asked Avi. “Don’t worry, I’ll get it RIGHT out!” But as he dug through the presents, he accidentally LEFT the menorah a little too close to the edge of the table.

“Move it back RIGHT now!” shouted Mom. Everyone laughed as they fixed the decorations. When the game continued, the dreidel kept landing on “gimmel,” and the gelt pile was passed LEFT and RIGHT until everyone had their share.

“That was the most exciting dreidel game ever,” said Sammy. “Let’s do it again tomorrow night!”

---

### **Option 3: The Latke Cook-Off**
It was the third night of Chanukah, and the Levy family was having a latke cook-off. Grandma said her recipe was the best, but Dad was sure his was RIGHT up there with hers.

“Who LEFT the potatoes unpeeled?” Grandma asked. “That’s not the RIGHT way to make latkes!” Dad smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got the grater RIGHT here.”

As they worked, the kitchen got messy. Flour was LEFT on the counter, and someone spilled oil RIGHT onto the floor. “Be careful, or you’ll slip RIGHT into the sink!” warned Mom.

When the latkes were ready, they were passed LEFT and RIGHT around the table. Everyone tasted each recipe and voted for their favorite. Grandma won, of course, but she LEFT some credit for Dad.

“Next year, I’ll get it RIGHT!” Dad promised, laughing as he took another bite.

---

### **Option 4: The Search for the Missing Gift**
On the fifth night of Chanukah, the Silver family gathered around to exchange gifts. But when it was Miriam’s turn, her present had gone missing! “Who LEFT my gift off the table?” she asked.

“I’m sure it’s RIGHT here somewhere,” said her brother, David, digging through the pile. He found a box and handed it to her, but Miriam shouted, “This isn’t RIGHT—it’s the wrong one!”

Everyone started looking LEFT and RIGHT, trying to find the missing gift. Grandma finally spotted it hiding under the couch. “Someone must have LEFT it there while cleaning up,” she said.

Miriam opened the box and gasped. “This is exactly the RIGHT gift! Thank you so much!”

The family laughed and cheered, then passed more gifts LEFT and RIGHT, making sure no one was forgotten again.

---

### **Option 5: The Miracle of the Oil**
On the eighth night of Chanukah, the Cohen family decided to act out the story of the Maccabees. Dad explained, “The oil was supposed to last for one day, but it burned for eight nights, which was just the RIGHT amount of time!”

The kids got creative with costumes. Leah LEFT to grab her toy sword, while Avi searched RIGHT through his closet for a shield. Mom lit the menorah and LEFT it glowing in the window.

As they told the story, the kids passed props LEFT and RIGHT to act out each part. The menorah was set in the temple, and the jar of oil was placed RIGHT in the center of the table.

“Who LEFT this mess of costumes on the floor?” Mom asked, laughing as she picked them up. Dad replied, “It’s all part of the fun, RIGHT?”

At the end of the night, they ate sufganiyot and passed them LEFT and RIGHT around the table, celebrating the miracle and the fun they had together.

I downloaded this last week from the internet:
Chanuka Game
Everyone sits in a circle and has something I.e. a prize, and it gets passed around as you say
the story either, right or left
RIGHT from the start, we were always RIGHTFULLY Hashem’s chosen nation. The other
nations were LEFT to believe that they had the RIGHT to persecute and the RIGHT to eradicate
the Jew, so that there should be nothing LEFT to even “RIGHT” about. Well I’m sure you
guessed RIGHT, They didn’t succeed and we were LEFT as always, Hashem’s chosen nation,
we were LEFT to do his mitzvos, and we were LEFT to be different than the other nations!
The story of Chanukah is just another RIGHT example; Antiyochus felt it RIGHT for all his
subjects to be strong and well learned in the philosophies he felt to be RIGHT and just, yet the
Jew was not to be LEFT out. So he decided to “RIGHT” a decree that the Jews had no RIGHT
to perform certain mitzvos. And so the soldiers marched into Jerusalem. They went RIGHT to
the Bais Hamikdosh and LEFT it broken and dirty. Yehudah Hamkabi LEFT his safe home in
Modin and went RIGHT to work; getting an army together, crying RIGHT out “Mi lahashem
aylai”.
He sent his soldiers marching to Jerusalem.
RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT
RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT
RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT
As we all know with Hashem at his RIGHT hand, he LEFT Antiyochus’s army wounded as they
LEFT Jerusalem in shame. And this time they marched RIGHT, RIGHT out of Jerusalem. They
LEFT RIGHT out of Israel. And the Jews were LEFT in peace. The Jews went RIGHT to work
in the Bais Hamikdosh. They couldn’t believe what was LEFT of the beautiful Bais Hamikdosh.
When they set everything RIGHT again, they realized that when the Greeks LEFT there wasn’t
even a single pitcher of pure olive oil LEFT to be used. They couldn’t make new oil RIGHT
away since it took eight days to do it RIGHT. They searched RIGHT and LEFT, and RIGHT
again until they found a tiny pitcher, just RIGHT for one night.
The excitement spread through the city RIGHT away, that one pitcher of oil was LEFT and they
would not be LEFT in the dark for even one more night. The Kohen Gadol lit the candles and
the Jews thanked Hashem for the pure jug of olive oil that the Greeks had miraculously LEFT
behind. They LEFT that night in high spirits but were unsure about what to do tomorrow.
The next morning they couldn’t believe what greeted their eyes. The menorah stood RIGHT
where they had LEFT it and the oil was LEFT in it. The Jews were exalted! Hashem had LEFT
the light for the Jews for yet another night. And so the lights were LEFT burning for yet another
night, and they were LEFT burning for a fourth night, and they were LEFT burning for a fifth and six night, and they were LEFT burning for another two nights, making it eight nights, until the
new oil was just RIGHT.
And yes, we still have some of this light LEFT till today guiding us in our hard times.
But wait! Is is RIGHT to light the candles in our menorahs from RIGHT to LEFT? Or from LEFT
to RIGHT? No, we start the lights on the RIGHT side of the menorah, but we light the first one
from the LEFT continuing on to the RIGHT.
Did you get that RIGHT??
Now you can open the gift that was LEFT in your hands.

Did Esther O. only recently start charging? I'm pretty sure that just a couple of weeks ago, when I was browsing her site and Between Carpools, trying to put together this year's Chanukah activities, her downloads were free. I was considering purchasing it now, but then I found the other free download.
