Step 1
Preparation: Place a gift at the centre of the parcel, wrapping it in several layers of wrapping paper and hiding small gifts between some of the layers.
Step 2
Sit children in a circle facing inwards, out of eyesight of the person controlling the music. Children pass the parcel to the person on their right while the music is playing. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel tears off a layer of wrapping.
Step 3
Restart the music after each layer is unwrapped. Continue playing until the last layer is unwrapped and the gift inside revealed.
