How to play Pass the Present
- Wrap a small prize in as many layers as you have students, with a question inside each layer.
- Students sit in a circle and pass the present while music plays.
- When the music stops, the student holding it unwraps one layer and answers the question.
- Continue until the last layer.
- Whoever unwraps the final layer keeps the prize (or shares it with the class).
Variations
- Put a fun challenge in some layers: "Sing a line of a holiday song" or "Do 5 jumping jacks."
💡 Teacher tips
- Keep track of who has unwrapped a layer so every student gets a turn.
