Default quilt group games

There are 11 of us in our quilt group and we would like to try a new fun quilting theme game for Christmas. Don't like the pen and paper kind (like bingo etc ) . Also ,we have done the strip Piecing game with dice and loved it. So maybe something along those lines. Looking for something new. Any good ideas.??? Thanks in advance.

[TD]So...One person reads. The group get in a circle with their gift and follow th e R/L directions. Good for a giggle!




Right Left Christmas Game Nativity Story
In those days, Caesar Augustus decided to count everyone LEFT living in the whole Roman world. Joseph LEFT, taking Mary with him RIGHT to his town of Bethlehem to register.
When they arrived, there were no rooms LEFT. All of the inns in Bethlehem were RIGHT full. There was just nowhere LEFT for them to stay. Finally, someone offered to let them stay RIGHT in their stable.
Mary was pregnant and while in Bethlehem the RIGHT time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a boy RIGHT there. RIGHT there in a Bethlehem stable, the Savior of the world was born. Mary wrapped him with LEFT over strips of cloth and laid him RIGHT in a manger.
Some shepherds who lived RIGHT near Bethlehem, were out at night RIGHT in their fields watching over their sheep. RIGHT then, they saw a bright light. The light was so bright that they had to close their eyes. When they opened them again, a beautiful angel was standing RIGHT in the sky RIGHT above them with his arms LEFT opened wide. The shepherds looked RIGHT at each other and were LEFT feeling very afraid.
Then the angel spoke RIGHT to them. "Do not be afraid. I'm RIGHT here to bring you the good news LEFT for all people. Today RIGHT in Bethlehem a baby has been born, He is the RIGHT one, the one that will save the world. You will know the RIGHT baby because He will be LEFT wrapped in cloths, and laying RIGHT in a manger."
RIGHT then, a large group of angels appeared RIGHT there, and they said, "Glory to God, and peace be to all people LEFT on the earth."
The shepherds were LEFT amazed and excited. They had to go RIGHT away to see this baby the angels were talking about.
They LEFT as fast as they could, and soon found Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus RIGHT were they angels said they would be. The shepherds fell RIGHT to their knees when they saw Jesus, and were LEFT filled with joy that they had found the Savior. They stayed for a short time and then LEFT . As soon as they LEFT they began shouting RIGHT in the streets and telling everyone LEFT in town about what they had seen.
RIGHT after Jesus was born, wise men traveling RIGHT on their camels noticed a very strange star RIGHT in the sky. They knew that the RIGHT One who would save the world had been born.
RIGHT away King Herod got very worried. He assembled all of the important people LEFT in the area and asked them where this baby had been born. The people replied, "RIGHT in Bethlehem."
RIGHT then King Herod called the wise men to meet with him RIGHT away. He asked them to go and find the child RIGHT away. “RIGHT as soon as you find Him,” he said, “ tell me, so that I can go to Him RIGHT away and worship Him."
After the wise men spoke to the King, they LEFT to find the baby. They didn't know RIGHT where the He was, but followed the star LEFT in the east until it hung RIGHT over the place where Jesus was. When they found Jesus, and they bowed RIGHT down and worshiped him.
RIGHT after that, they opened the gifts they had brought Jesus... gold, frankincense and myrrh. Then they LEFT to find a place to sleep for the night.
That night the wise men all had the same dream RIGHT as they were sleeping. They were not to go RIGHT back and tell King Herod where they had found Jesus. King Herod wanted to kill Jesus because he was jealous of Him. So, the wise men LEFT for home another way so that Herod would not know the RIGHT direction they had come from. They also decided RIGHT then that they would not tell King Herod anything about what they had seen.
When the wise men LEFT , an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Arise, take Jesus and Mary, and run RIGHT to Egypt. Joseph got up RIGHT away and woke up Mary. She quickly picked Jesus RIGHT up and they LEFT in the middle of the night for Egypt where they would be safe.
RIGHT after King Herod died an angel appeared again RIGHT away to Joseph and told him to go RIGHT to a place called Nazareth. And that's RIGHT where Jesus grew up.

Everybody brings a, "quilt themed," gift, priced under so many dollars, and wraps it up. (Silly, goofy gifts OK.)
-Draw numbers to see who goes first, second, third, etc.
-Everyone sits in a circle with their wrapped gift in front of them.
-The person who drew number 1 goes to the center of the circle and picks one of the gifts, unwraps it and sits down with the gift in front of him/her.
-The person who drew number 2 now goes to the center of the circle and can either pick a wrapped gift, or the unrapped gift.
-The person who drew number 3 now goes to the center of the circle and can either pick a wrapped gift, or any unrapped gift.
-The game continues on until all people have gone to the center and picked a gift.

It can get to be a lot of fun, stealing each others' gifts and having a few silly, gift items in the mix.

Have fun!

Tell me about the strip piecing game with dice, please! I am unfamiliar with it.

The game above, by tropit, I have played in another (not quilting) club I belong to, and it is a blast, because others can "steal" your unwrapped gift. When we played, once a gift hit it's third owner it could no longer be stolen. That third owner gets to keep it. We knew that game as "Dirty Santa", and it was a Christmas gift game.

We have done the "stealing" but we call it a Dutch or Amish Christmas.

I tried to do the "stealing game" at work with the girls and several said they would not steal a gift from someone because it was rude. Kind of sucked the fun right out of it!!
