Game – PASS THE PRESENT

Take a very small box and put a candy treat inside it.  Wrap the box in wrapping paper.   Put the small box into a larger box and wrap that larger box in wrapping paper.  Put that box into a larger box and wrap that box with wrapping paper.   If possible have 6 boxes or so wrapped up inside of each other.  Place 8 or 10 chairs in a row across the front, facing the audience.   Choose children to sit in those chairs.    Give the big multi-layered box to the first child in the row.   Start some music.   When the music starts the child is to pass the present to the child beside them, who passes it on to the next child etc…..   When the music stops whichever child is holding the box gets to unwrap the present.  Of course when they do so they will just discover another wrapped up box inside.   The music begins again and this child passes the box onto the next etc…..   Each time the music stops the present is opened until they get to the tiny box with the treat.   That child can keep the treat.
