1.2.2 Mystery Ggift of the Magi. Wrap a small gift in layers of gift wrap. Have the children sit in a circle and when a child rolls two dice of the same pair they put on oven mitts, a scarf, a hat and proceed to unwrap as many layers of gift wrap as possible before another person throws a pair. (Rules: you cannot tear open multiple layers at once. No using your teeth. Smaller children do not have to put oven mittens on.
