What to put in layers of pass the parcel - not sweets/chocolate

savingmonkey

Just wondered if anyone had any good ideas of what to put in the layers of pass the parcel. I don't want to put sweets/choc in as one child does not eat sweets (issue with teeth) and another is intolerant to dairy so can't have regular chocolate.
I have 18 children coming, aged 4 to 6 and mix of boys and girls.
I thought about stickers but does anyone else have any good (cheap!) ideas?
Thank you.

'Dares'?
Packets of Lego? (Mail free-withs along soon)
Slips of paper with really awful puns (the worse the pun the more they love them!)
'Treasure clues' to where the cake is?!

Hoping you have a wonderful, happy, giggly & not-too-messy party!

Poundland have loads of party bag stuff in at the mo (or most I have been in recently have), and they are things like packs of 5 plastic medals, or 5 silver plastic wands for girls etc....

2. Skip around the circle
3. Frog jump around the circle
4. Walk backwards around the circle

7. Stand on one leg until the music next stops
8. Say the alphabet backwards

How about a traditional pass-the-parcel, where only the last person to unwrap it wins?

When did it become the norm, to put something in each layer? Means you now have to cheat when 'stopping' so you make sure everyone has a turn, as the kids get to stay in for the whole game too

Having a member of the family who can't eat sweets, I put things like balloons, temporary tattoos sometimes I put sweets as I don't think it is then fair on the others but I have a pot where they can swap if they wish.

We have used glow sticks and temp tattoos before.
We have also done things like dress up pass the parcel. With a box of dressing up things in the middle and when the music stops they unwrap a layer and put on an item.
We have also used dried fruit treats before - go down well with younger kids.
I have picked up a large bag of party toys from Wilco and put 1 thing in the layers.
I know sweets are cheaper, but I think it works out OK as its something that I would add to the party bag anyway.
