Party Games – Pass the Parcel

This is a fun Birthday Party game for before or after your Cool Magic Show. This game can take a long or short time depending on how long you let the music play and how many layers of wrapping you put on the gift.

Supplies Needed: A small Gift, a box, wrapping paper, slips of paper for writing on, tape, scissors.

Wrap a mystery gift in multiple layers of wrapping paper. Play music and have the kids pass the parcel until the music is randomly stopped. Who ever is holding the gift when the music stops gets to unwrap a layer of paper. In between each layer of wrapping paper, tape a note to the paper that describes an activity that the person who unwraps that layer has to do. for Example, jump on one leg 20 times, say a nursery rhyme, blow up a balloon and pop it, answer a trivia questions, or tell a funny joke.

The person to remove the last layer of wrapping paper wins the prize!

As an alternative you can also include small prize giveaways on some random layers too, this keeps the kids interested in getting to unwrap a layer!
