PASS THE PARCEL
(Celebrations)
Subject: Humans and their world
Cross-curricular links: English language, Music
Target language: 10-20 minut
Time: 10-20 minutes
Materials: a small gift wrapped in several layers of wrapping paper, music/CD player
- A small gift, perhaps a bar of chocolate or a packet of sweets, is wrapped in several layers of paper. Each layer should be secured with an elastic band or sticky tape.
- The players sit in a circle and one of them holds the parcel. When the music begins the parcel is passed around the circle.
- Each time the music is stopped, the person left holding the parcel removes one layer of wrapping.
- The music is then restarted and the parcel passed around again. The game continues until someone removes the last layer of wrapping and so reveals the prize.
Variation:
This game is the same as Pass the Parcel except that a forfeit is written on each layer of wrapping (the teacher will need to read the forfeits out when necessary). The forfeit requires the player to perform a specified action or mime. The player left holding the parcel when the music stops has to perform the forfeit after taking off the wrapping.
