Will you be left with a surprise gift when the music stops? Read all about this unique Musical-Chairs-like game that's perfect for parties!
Pass the Present
Players: 4 +
Ages: 3 +
Place: a space large enough for the players to sit in a circle
Equipment: wrapped surprise (toy, candy, game) and music source that can be easily stopped and started
How to play: Before the game, wrap a gift in as many layers of paper as there are players.
Have the players sit in a circle and begin passing the present around while the music plays.
When the music stops, the player left holding the gift carefully unwraps one layer of paper, hands the box to the next person in the circle, and leaves.
Play continues in this manner and the player left at the end unwraps and keeps their prize.
Variation:
Wrap as many presents as there are players. Make the final gift slightly better than the rest.
Players again pass a single gift around, but this time whoever is left holding the box unwraps and keeps the gift, then sits out with the prize.
A new gift is put into play and the rounds continue in the same manner as the original version.
The final player is handed the "fancier" gift and deemed the winner, although in this option, everybody wins.
