Everybody sit in a large circle. One blank sheet each is distributed to all participants and one pen is kept in the centre. The host goes from one person to another with a dice and flat suface (plate).

Party games - a variation of passing the parcel

At Pooja's party yesterday she made us play a different sort of passing the parcel. The theme of the party was flowers. We passed a pillow and when the music stopped the person with the pillow, picked a chit from a bunch, in which names of different flowers were written. then the flower's name was spelled out. The person on whom the last letter of the flower came. He/She has to sing a song which has the words फूल, कलि, or names of flowers like बेला, चंपा etc.
If the song is sung then the person who had the pillow when the music stopped is out. and if the song is not sung then the person on whom the last letter came, is out of the game. We had fun playing this game.
