Place a gift at the centre of the parcel.

Use a small box if you want an even shape or to make it look larger than it is.

Wrap as many layers as players, with some to spare in case more players turn up.

The parcel should be large enough for at least a 5 minute game, so add more layers even when you have only a few players; it just means they get more turns.

Place a gift at the centre of the parcel and a gift on every layer of the parcel.

This is the best way of preparing the parcel for children ages 3 - 8, as then each child receives a prize no matter who wins the prize wrapped in the middle of the parcel.

Name the gifts during the game.

Get the children to name them. (I have a………..)
