What is the Left Right Game?
The Left Right Game is a party game where guests pass around a small object (often a wrapped candy or small gift) while music plays. When the music stops, whoever is holding the object is eliminated or performs a small task. The game continues until only one person remains, winning a prize. This simple premise leads to plenty of fun and friendly competition. Its adaptability makes it perfect for bridal showers, as the tasks can be tailored to the bride-to-be and her relationship with her friends.
