Question

How can I discourage kids who deliberately keep the parcel to make sure they'll win a prize?

Community Answer

It's pretty simple. Don't turn off the music until they pass the parcel. Don't reward poor sportsmanship!

Question

What is eeny, meany, miney, mo?

HumanBeing

Top Answerer

Eeeny, meany, miney, mo is a nonsense rhyme used to make a choice. You say the rhyme and each word represents one of the things you are choosing from. There are more words, and again they vary. You may, for example, have a choice of two candy bars. You'd point at one and start the rhyme pointing between the two: "Eeeny, meany, miney, mo, catch a monkey by his toe, if he squeals let him go, eeeny, meany, miney, mo." Which ever you are pointing at when say the last word "mo" is your choice.

Question

What do you mean by "wrap as many layers as players?"

Community Answer

For example, if there are seven players, you should wrap the parcel with seven layers. If there are eight players, wrap the parcel with eight layers, and so on.

Question

How many players can play the game?

Tara Burke

Top Answerer

You would probably need 5+ players for the game to really be fun, and there isn’t really a maximum (keep in mind, however, whether you really want to prepare heaps of layers).
