About Pass the Parcel

Pass the Parcel is a Children’s game, usually played at Birthday parties, whereby a gift is wrapped up in several layers of wrapping paper. Music is played as the parcel is passed around between the children, and when the music stops the person holding the parcel takes off the wrapper. The person who takes off the last wrapper (i.e. the inner-most wrapper) and reaches the gift gets to take home the gift.
