Party Games

Thank you, Ronda (NY) for sending a copy of this party mixer game!

Bring a wrapped gift to the party. Gather all the guests into a circle and read this script. Each time you say the word "right" or "left" they pass the gift to their left or right. The gift moves around the circle and at the end, the person holding the gift wins!

When ____ booked a show, I knew RIGHT away,
That working with her would just make my day.
She made up her list of who to invite,
And she went over it twice to make sure it was RIGHT.

As replies came in, she checked them RIGHT off her list,
Until no one was LEFT and no one was missed.
She chose the RIGHT day for her friends to meet,
And LEFT it to me to make it complete.

She did all the RIGHT things and was excited to see,
What she would receive from her wish list for free!

As I packed up my things for the show tonight,
I was certain the evening would go just RIGHT.
With everything packed, I LEFT RIGHT away,
Thinking about ___ show, and the RIGHT things to say.

I arrived RIGHT on time and set up my things,
To share the joy the Gold Canyon Candles bring.

Selecting just the RIGHT gift won’t seem like a chore,
When your browse through our catalog – it won’t be a bore.
Your wish list is growing, you can’t seem to choose?
Book a show RIGHT today – you have nothing to lose.

Our hostess plan is generous and great,
Check your calendar and let’s set the RIGHT date!
Shopping made simple, RIGHT to your door-
Just provide your home and I’ll bring the store.

And if perhaps you’re looking for a new position,
Gold Canyon Candles could be the RIGHT decision.
Great income potential, flexible schedule and more,
An opportunity awaits you RIGHT on the ground floor!
All your dreams could finally come true,
Don’t be LEFT out, it’s just up to you!

Thanks again for joining me tonight,
The only thing LEFT is the winner on the RIGHT.

Here is another version of it, on this one the host starts with the wrapped gift and gets to choose who it goes to. After each verse, the person holding the gift passes it along as described. Again, the person holding the prize at the end of the poem wins:

You thought all the gifts were meant for you.
But I have other items too.
So hold up the gift and look around,
And give it one with eyes of brown.

You think you are the lucky one,
But let us all share in the fun!
Look around with eyes discreet,
And give it to the one with the smallest feet!

Your feet are tiny and very small,
Now hand it to someone very tall.

Please take your time and don’t be harried,
Give it to the one who is longest married.

You must be proud of your married life,
Now pass this on to the newest wife.

Of this parcel you are bereft,
Give it to the one on your immediate left.

The largest earrings I’m looking for now,
If you’re wearing them, step up with a bow.

Now to the person with buttons of any kind,
The one with the most gets the gift this time.

Now don’t get cross and please don’t fight,
But pass it to the person third on your right.

We should stop now, don’t you agree?
The gift is yours to open and see!
