What You Need:
-
A small prize or gift
-
Multiple layers of wrapping paper
-
Challenge slips (e.g. “Do a Santa laugh”, “Sing a line from a carol”, “Act like a reindeer”)
-
Music (Christmas playlist or speaker)

Step-by-Step Instructions:
✅ Step 1: Prepare the Present
-
Choose a small prize (sweets, mini gift, or joke item).
-
Wrap it in a layer of wrapping paper.
-
Before adding the next layer, include a challenge slip.
-
Continue wrapping with multiple layers—each layer should have a different challenge inside.
-
Aim for at least 6–10 layers to keep it exciting!
✅ Step 2: Gather Everyone in a Circle
-
Have all players sit in a circle so they can easily pass the present.
-
Designate someone to control the music (or use a playlist with random pauses if you want to play too).
✅ Step 3: Start the Music
-
Begin playing festive music and pass the present clockwise around the circle.
✅ Step 4: Pause the Music Randomly
-
When the music stops, the person holding the present unwraps one layer only and must complete the challenge inside before the game continues.
✅ Step 5: Keep Playing
-
Resume the music and continue passing the present.
-
Repeat the unwrapping and challenge steps until the final layer is unwrapped.
✅ Step 6: Final Winner
-
The person who unwraps the final layer wins the prize inside!
🎉 Bonus Tips:
-
Add silly or festive forfeits to the challenge slips for extra laughs.
-
You can play multiple rounds with different prizes.
-
Use themed wrapping paper to make it extra Christmassy!
