This is a fun activitiy -the gift is something from home wrapped beautifully or in a xmas bag.
RULES-must be something you already have at home that is wrapped!

• Something you don't want is someone else's treasure.  
• This can be a food item from your food pantry
• Something used you don't play with anymore
• a game no longer played or used
• We draw numbers and who ever is #1 opens a gift. 
• #2 person has a choice to take #1 gift or open a new gift.
• If he chooses to take #1 gift, The #1 person must open a new gift.
• Gifts can only be taken 2x 
• the 3rd person who has it is the last &  get's to keep the gift.
• Sample:GIFTS: $5 or less gift you already have at home: a large bag of chips, a liter drink, a nice pen, wrapped old ball,old nail polishes
• The best number to get is of course the last number because you will see almost all the gifts open & get to choose from all those gifts that have not been taken 2x or open last gift is yours.
• This activity takes about 30 minutes but it is very fun, when students wrap gag gifts in a huge box & it ends up being something small but the expectation is it was something big.
