Pass the parcel Totally Explained

Everything about Pass The Parcel totally explained

Pass the parcel is a popular children's party game in which a parcel is passed from person to person around a circle.
   In preparation for the game, a prize (or "gift") is wrapped in a large number of layers of wrapping paper. Usually, each layer is of a different design so they can be easily distinguished. Smaller prizes or mottos may be placed between some or all other layers of wrapping.
   During the game, music is played as the parcel is passed around. Whoever is holding the parcel when the music is stopped removes one layer of wrapping and claims any prize found under that layer. The music is then restarted and the game continues until every layer is removed and the main prize claimed.
   The stopping and starting of the music is usually done by an adult who isn't taking part in the game. While in order for the game to be fair, they shouldn't observe the game, in practice they often do, to ensure that every participant has a turn, that prizes are well distributed and perhaps that the child whose party it's claims the main prize. A fairer alternative is to prepare recordings of short snatches of music.
   Variations on the game include allowing participants to remove as many layers of paper as possible (rather than just one) before the music restarts, and including challenges or forfeits on slips of paper in place of mottos.
