Pass the Parcel..........

[Im a BusyBee]

I want to play pass the parcel at a family party i am having with guests from 3 yrs to 80yrs old. can anyone suggest little gifts for each layer and also the main gift in the middle? i think it would be a lot of fun and something everyone cud join in with but im stuck for the gifts to suit all. Also any other games suitable for ages and abilities would be most appreciated. thank you.

tickets to collect gifts from a prize table gets round the problem of age appropriateness within the parcel. adult prizes....lottery tickets...miniatures of booze, mini boxes of chocs
kiddies glittery pencils, notepads, crayons, key rings and little bottles of foam bath for any age


Main prize...lots of Haribos for sharing

Why does there have to be a little gift in each layer? I remember forfeits in the outer layers, with a small present in the middle. My favourite was "Make a noise like a piece of cheese", I think my Uncle who wrapped that particular parcel took a slurp at each wrapping! Other forfeits could be "dance like a frog", "sing like a squirrel", "say a nursery rhyme", "tell a joke", anything that makes the participants do things will involve everyone!

DocHH, I did that for my daughter, there was a mix of gifts and forfeits. One was a forfeit to kiss the girl/boy on the cheek sitting next to you. They were sitting alternatively. Unfortunately, the little boy who got the forfeit, immediately burst into tears and was very hard to pacify. I had to explain to his Mum when she collected him why his eyes were so red. Pleased to say he is now over his phobia and getting married next year.
