Pass the Parcel

You will need to prepare the parcel before the party. Place a gift at the center of the parcel. You can put the gift in a box before wrapping it.  Wrap the gift in as many layers as there will be guests. You can add to the fun by wrapping small gifts between layers. Have guests form a circle. When the music begins, guests pass the parcel around the circle. When the music ends, the guest holding the parcel gets to remove one layer of wrapping. If there is a gift, that child gets to keep it. Continue until the final child opens the final layer.
