Pass the Parcel is a classic party game that brings joy and excitement to kids of all ages. When you're hosting a Kids DJ party, adding some creative flair to your Pass the Parcel prize can elevate the fun and match the party's high-energy vibe. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to wrap the perfect prize for this crowd-pleasing game.
1. Choose the Right Prize
First, decide on the main prize. Since this is a disco themed party, try to find something that fits the theme. Some ideas could be:
Mini disco lights
Glow-in-the-dark accessories
A disco inspired toy or microphone
Music-themed stickers or notebooks
2. Layered Wrapping for Extra Fun
Pass the Parcel is all about unwrapping layer after layer, so you need more than just one wrapping. Each layer builds anticipation and excitement as the kids pass the parcel, hoping it lands on them.
3. Select Fun Wrapping Paper
Choose colorful, music-themed wrapping paper. Look for designs with musical notes, DJ equipment, or vibrant colors that match the party’s high-energy theme. You can even mix and match wrapping paper to keep it visually interesting.
4. Small Prizes for Each Layer
For each layer of wrapping, hide a small prize to keep the kids engaged throughout the game. These could be things like:
Glow sticks or bracelets
Stickers
Temporary tattoos
Mini instruments (like maracas or harmonicas)
Disco themed keychains or buttons
Make sure each prize is easy to unwrap and doesn’t delay the game.
5. Layer 1: Main Prize
Start by wrapping the main prize. Use a sturdy box to keep it secure, especially if the prize is fragile. Wrap it with the special DJ-themed paper to make it stand out.
6. Layer 2: Small Prizes in Between
Once the main prize is wrapped, begin adding layers with small prizes between each one. Use a variety of colorful papers to keep it lively. You could alternate between glossy, patterned, and even metallic wrapping paper to give the parcel a festive, disco-ball-like appearance.
7. Add Fun Surprises
For a DJ party, think about adding some fun surprises in the layers. Slip in small challenges or music-related trivia questions between layers. For instance, a piece of paper might say, "Do your best dance move before passing the parcel" or "Name a song that makes you want to dance!" This adds an extra element of fun and keeps the kids entertained.
8. Use Music as a Timer
Since it’s a disco party, The Kids DJ will use music as the timer for the game. Playing a mix of upbeat, child-friendly tunes and stopping the music randomly to make the game unpredictable. This ensures everyone is listening and waiting eagerly for the next pause in the music.
9. Final Wrapping Touches
To finish, add some ribbons, colorful bows, or even some music-themed stickers to the outer layer of the parcel. You could also attach a tag that says, "Let the music guide you!" or something disco related to keep the theme alive.
10. Get Creative with the Game Flow
To keep the kids excited, the Kids DJ might play with different rounds, like speeding up the music or slowing it down unexpectedly. They might also introduce rounds where the kids need to freeze when the music stops, adding another layer of challenge.
Conclusion
Wrapping the perfect prize for Pass the Parcel at a Kids DJ Party is all about creativity and adding little surprises along the way. By theming the wrapping, selecting fun small prizes, and integrating music into the game, you'll create a memorable experience that keeps kids entertained and engaged. Happy wrapping and enjoy the party!
