PARCEL PASS
Wrap a small gift in a large parcel consisting of as many sheets Oif paper as possible. The funnier the gift, the bigger the laugh. Arrange the plaj'ers in a circle, give the parcel to one, then provide music, either by piano, gramophone or radio. As soon as the music starts the r>layer holding the parcel passes it to his neighbour, and it continues round until the music stops. The player then in possession of it drops out of the game. Tho music starts up again and the game continues. As the players become fewer the fun grows greater. Finally, only two players are left, and when the music stops the parcel becomes the property of the one in possession of it. He or she must unwrap it, and the laughter that greets the disclosure of, say, a baby's dummy or a feeding bottle will liven up any party.
