Pass The Present

OBJECT - Open the present!

GAME TYPE - Passing game.

WHO'S IT FOR - Group One. You need enough people to make a circle.

WHAT YOU NEED - Music, and several prewrapped presents. The presents should be wrapped with several layers of paper.

HOW TO PLAY:
  1. Players sit in a circle.
  2. When the music starts, players pass a present from person to person.
  3. Whenever the music stops, whoever is holding the present gets to unwrap one layer of wrapping paper.
  4. The music starts again and the present gets passed.
  5. Keep going until someone unwraps the last layer of paper. Whoever unwraps the last layer gets to keep the present.
  6. Repeat with another present.

This is a great Christmas game, but can be used for other occasions as well. When you wrap the presents, try to make it very difficult to unwrap more than one layer at once. Also, make sure everyone gets something.

THIS WORKS ON - Sharing (passing the present), fine motor (unwrapping presents), attending (listening to the music), following directions (only unwrapping one layer)
