Pass the parcel is a fun activity to play during a birthday party or another special event. Learn how to play this gift exchange game plus print this adorable pass the parcel game with rhyming game tasks today!

Pass the Parcel is a classic party game that has been enjoyed by children and adults alike for generations. The game involves passing a wrapped parcel (present) from person to person based on a series of directions or while music plays. The aim of the game is to be the one holding the parcel. The person holding the parcel at the end of each round (or at the end of the game) gets to unwrap a layer of paper to reveal a small gift or prize inside.

The origins of Pass the Parcel are unclear, but it is believed to have originated in Britain in the early 20th century. The game of pass has since spread around the world and is now a popular party game in many countries. Pass the Parcel is a simple game that requires no special equipment, making it a popular choice for children’s parties and other social gatherings for adults.

Pass the Parcel is also called the left-right game as the present can jut quickly to the left and again quickly to the right. This gift exchange game can be enjoyed by people of all ages and is a great way to bring people together and create a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Whether you’re playing with friends, family, or colleagues, Pass the Parcel is sure to provide low-cost entertainment and laughter. So, if you’re looking for a fun and easy game to play at your next party or gathering, why not give Pass the Parcel a try?

What is the Pass the Parcel Game?

Pass the Parcel is a game that involves a present wrapped in one or multiple layers of wrapping paper or reusable fabric bags of different sizes. A prize or gift is placed in the center of the parcel. The game is played by a group of players who sit in a circle. The parcel is passed around the circle from player to player.

How to Play Pass the Parcel Game

There are multiple versions of the Pass the Parcel gift game. You can play this gift exchange game with music or with rhyming directions.

Musical Pass

To play Pass the Parcel with music, players must sit in a circle. The person who is hosting the party or event should start the game by playing music and passing the parcel to the person sitting next to them. Similar to hot potato only when the music stops, you want to be holding the package. When the music stops, the player holding the parcel unwraps one layer of wrapping paper. The music begins again. With each break in the music, a new layer of the parcel is unwrapped. The game continues until the final layer is unwrapped, revealing the prize or gift inside.

To make the game more challenging, the host can add additional rules, dares, or “forfeits”, such as requiring players to perform a task or answer a question before passing the parcel. This can add an element of fun and excitement to the game. In addition between each layer of the package can be a smaller gift or prize.

Rhyming Riddles Pass

Another fun version of the pass the parcel game is with a series of directions or rhyming riddles. In this game, directions are provided which where to start the package. Then as each new rhyme is read aloud, the parcel or package moves around the circle. You can have layers of the package where with each new player, a new layer can be unwrapped or you can have the package rotate the circle and at the end of the game, there is only one winner. This last person gets to unwrap the entire package.

Rhyming Pass the Parcel Game Tasks

To get a general idea of directions, take a look at these pass-the-parcel game task examples.

We will start this game with a little rhyme, who has known you the longest time?
A very important person gets to start the game, pass now to the one with the longest first & last name.
The first person to your right is wearing blue, Is now allowed to grab the parcel straight from you.
To be fair we have to share, Pass now to the person with the longest hair.
We know how time can get away. Pass to the one who had the most recent birthday.

Materials Needed for Pass the Parcel Game

To play Pass the Parcel, you will need the following materials:

Wrapping paper or reusable fabric bags
Tape
Scissors
Music player and fun music
Prize or gift to be placed in the center of the parcel
Printable Pass the Parcel Game Tasks
Optional: Small prizes in-between layers

Examples of smaller prizes between the layers of gift wrap can be candy bars, plastic toys, gift cards, chocolates, and lolli pops.

It is important to ensure that the wrapping paper or fabric bags used to wrap the parcel are of different designs and sizes. This will make it easier to distinguish between the different layers of wrapping paper and add an element of surprise to the game.

Discover meaningful Sunday school Thanksgiving crafts for kids! Engage children with fun, faith-based activities like the Pumpkin Prayer, Gratitude Tree, and Thanksgiving Prayer Wheel. Perfect for Christian parents, teachers, and educators looking for hands-on ways to teach gratitude and God’s blessings this fall.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to teach children about gratitude, generosity, and God’s many blessings. Through engaging activities, kids can understand the importance of giving thanks and recognizing God’s provision in their lives. In Sunday school classrooms, crafting can be a powerful way to reinforce these biblical lessons. Creating hands-on activities that connect faith and gratitude is an excellent way to make the Thanksgiving season more meaningful plus create an adorable keepsake for the fall season.

Why Use Crafts to Teach Thanksgiving in Sunday School?

Crafts are a fantastic tool for engaging children in Sunday school lessons. Not only do they provide a creative outlet for kids, but they also serve as an interactive way to teach important biblical principles. When children create something with their hands, through kinesthetic learning they’re more likely to remember the lesson that was tied to the activity.

Thanksgiving offers the perfect opportunity to focus on gratitude, and a great way to teach this concept is through Thanksgiving-themed crafts. These fall activities can help children connect their faith to everyday expressions of thankfulness and generosity.

The Importance of Gratitude in the Bible

Gratitude is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, reminding us that thanksgiving should be a daily part of our lives, not just reserved for special occasions. From the Psalms to the letters of Paul, we are encouraged to live with a heart full of thanks. Psalm 107:1 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” This verse reminds us that our gratitude is not based on circumstances but on the enduring goodness of God.

One of the foundational teachings of the New Testament on gratitude comes from 1 Thessalonians 5:18, which encourages us to “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” This verse teaches children and adults alike that gratitude is not dependent on whether things are going well or not. Instead, it is a posture of the heart, rooted in the recognition that God is always working for our good, no matter the situation.

Sunday school Thanksgiving crafts provide a fun, interactive way to help children understand these verses on a deeper level. As kids engage with hands-on projects, they can connect biblical principles with real-life applications, learning that giving thanks is something they can practice in their everyday lives.

Biblical Stories That Teach Gratitude

Crafts are a great way to explore specific biblical stories, such as the story of the 10 lepers in Luke 17:11-19. In this account, Jesus heals ten men suffering from leprosy, but only one returns to thank Him. This story can open up rich conversations with children about the importance of showing gratitude, not just to God but also to the people around us. It highlights that gratitude is a choice, and those who choose to express thanks bring joy not only to others but also to the heart of God.

Another powerful story is found in 2 Corinthians 9:7-8, where Paul reminds us that God loves a cheerful giver. Although this passage primarily talks about generosity, it also emphasizes that we should give—and live—with a thankful heart, knowing that God will provide for all our needs. These kinds of stories, paired with engaging crafts, can reinforce the connection between thanksgiving, generosity, and our relationship with God.

Thanksgiving crafts can also focus on the gratitude Jesus expressed during the Last Supper, recorded in Matthew 26:26-29. Before sharing the bread and the cup, Jesus gave thanks. This moment shows children that even in challenging situations, we can still offer thanks to God, knowing that His plan is perfect.

By integrating Bible stories and gratitude-focused crafts into your Sunday school lessons, children can develop a deeper understanding of thankfulness as a way of life.

Hands-On Learning: Why It Matters

Creating hands-on activities is a key method for reinforcing Sunday school lessons, especially for younger children. Crafting allows kids to see, touch, and take home something tangible that represents the spiritual truths they’re learning.

Hands-on learning through crafts can also encourage collaboration and sharing among students. Kids can work together to create Thanksgiving decorations, cards, or keepsakes, all while discussing what they are thankful for in their lives. This opens the door for deeper conversations and allows children to express their gratitude in a meaningful way.

Creative and Fun Thanksgiving Craft Ideas for Sunday School

The Pass the Pumpkin Left-Right Game is a fun group activity where kids pass around a pumpkin (or any object) while listening to a story that includes the words “left” and “right.” Every time the story mentions one of these directions, the children must pass the pumpkin accordingly. This is a lighthearted game that helps build teamwork and reinforces listening skills.

Supplies Needed:

Printable Left-Right story (on Etsy too)
Pumpkin or small prize/gift to pass (you can have several for playing over and over)
Chairs or floor space to sit in a circle

Making Thanksgiving Meaningful Through Sunday School Crafts

As we teach children about Thanksgiving, it’s important to remind them that gratitude is something we should carry in our hearts year-round, not just in November. These Sunday school Thanksgiving crafts are a meaningful way to help children understand this truth while they have fun and express their creativity.

By using hands-on activities in your Sunday school class, you can instill in children the biblical principles of thankfulness and generosity. Through crafting in the month of November, kids will have a tangible reminder of the things they are grateful for and how much God has blessed them.
