    So that you don't forget what to do each time someone takes a turn, I recommend printing out the sign and hanging it where you will be playing so that everyone knows the white elephant dice game rules.

    • If you roll a 2, everyone switches to the right. 
    • If you roll a 3, everyone switches to the left. 
    • If you roll a 4, switch with the person directly across from you.
    • If you roll a 5, steal any gift you want!
    • If you roll a 6, trade gifts with someone wearing red.
