7 As I read this story, whenever you hear the word RIGHT, continuously pass the gifts to the RIGHT until you hear the word LEFT, then switch direction and continuously pass the gifts to the LEFT. Are you ready? Here we go... Rudolph, the RIGHT-nosed reindeer LEFT a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him RIGHT, you would even say it glows RIGHT. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him RIGHTY. They never LEFT poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games. Then RIGHT one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came RIGHT up to say: "Rudolph with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" Then all the reindeer loved him as they shouted RIGHT out with glee: "Rudolph the RIGHT-nosed reindeer, you'll be LEFT in history!" Now you know how the story went.. Which way did the gift go? To the RIGHT and to the LEFT, stop the passing and open your gift!

8 NEEDED: A counter for each player Christmas Tree Game Cards INSTRUCTIONS: Print this game board and laminate if you like for durability. Print and cut out the cards and shuffle before placing face down in a pile by the side of the board. Youngest player rolls first and moves his counter. If he lands on a square, he takes a card and follows the instructions. First to reach the Christmas Tree Star wins the game! Happy Holidays from Cutty's Okoboji
