5 tried and tested ways to play PASS THE PARCEL 🎁

[@mnamckenzie1144]

Hosting my first party. My plan is to tell all the kids they'll all get something and have tokens wrapped in different layers and if you get a token you bring it to the prize giver and pick a prize that will be pit in your party game so it removes a winner from the game and there's no show boating about what they one. After anyone who didn't get a prize will all get to pick a sweet from the box. So some will get bigger prizes than others but everyone gets something. There's nearly 30 kids and I have 30 prizes to split over different games. Didn't want them all to go out in P the P so I was gonna do 2 parcels going round with maybe a token every 2nd or 3rd layer and maybe 12 prizes in that game. 6 in each parcel. What do you think? Thanks.

Wow! That's so creative! I love how you are really trying to make it different, fun but most importantly - inclusive! Everyone's a winner! My advice would be to just do one parcel! I have overseen a couple of games of pass the parcel when the client has provided two parcels. It's hard to have eyes on the back of your head and there's a good chance they will land on the same players. With the children leaving their places to select a prize too (if I understood this correctly) there will be a lot of movement and it might be a challenge! Sometimes the only way to see what works or what doesn't work is to actually do it, and I have enjoyed trying all sorts over the years. But right now - after all this time, I have settled for simple! 😄 this is just because I can control the game/ speed/ atmosphere/ behaviour much easier and feel the children are more relaxed (they can get a bit worked up!) I'd love to know what you decide on and how it goes! Maybe you could start a new tradition! xxxxx

My most-used way WAS Parcel McParcelface before this video. The remote control mysteriously vanished after making this video 😩 so now I am back to using the other 4 methods. No gadgets for the time being! What's your favourite way? Do you even play this?

Hi, I live in the UK and have a brand new yellow face pass the parcel game, it’s still in its original sealed box. Do you have any idea of how much I should be trying to sell it for please? Thanks.

[@jjjjparties]

lol - I don't know. Why don't you put it up for £100 and see if you get any takers? If not, just reduce the price till someone does! Personally, I would LOVE it (but I just spent £40 buying cloth pass the parcel bags so I'm not quite as desperate as I was a few weeks ago when I realised I'd lost the remote control 🙈😆

I’m sure this is a silly question, so apologies, but do you actual pass the yellow McParcelFace guy around himself? Or is he only for holding treats for the end? And thank you for this video!

Hi Susy, yes you pass the parcel round. But since I lost the remote control he just holds prizes 😭
