It's that time of the year I get to play my favorite game - pass the parcel! Well, I've only ever played it once in my life, this was with the Sheffield community back in 2013. I loved the game so much so that afterwards, I made sure I created and facilitated this game every. single. Ayyam-i-há!
In case you're not familiar with the game, it's basically a ball with layers and layers of little gifts. Everyone sits in a circle and passes the parcel round while the music is playing. When the music stops, whoever has the ball should unwrap one layer and he/she gets the prize. Then continue with the music, pass the parcel round, stop, open... again and again until you reach the last gift.
This year I'm spicing it up a little bit... well, more like humour-ing it a little bit. Each gift inside the parcel has a little pick-up line/pun that matches the gift.
Are you coffee? Because you woke up my heart that was sleeping |
Do you have a license? Because you're driving me nuts! |
Did you eat sugar? Because you have a sweet smile. |
Are you Safeguard? Because I'm germs and I'm 99.9% madly in love with you. (Safeguard's tagline claims to kill 99.9% germs on your skin lol) |
If I have a shop, I'd sell everything cheap to everyone except you because you're the only one I love. (mahal has two meanings in Tagalog: love and expensive) |
Do you cook Pancit Canton a lot? Because whenever I'm with you, I feel "Lucky Me" |
These pick-up lines are so funny, right? Do you have any more? I can't think of anything else because all I ever think about is you. |
You'll only get the next two if you understand Tagalog:
Are you tea? Because I was struck by you. The word struck is correctly spelt "tinamaan" |
Are you mango? Because I want the love I feel to be coming from you. The word mango (MANGGA) is in MANGGAgaling (coming from) |
1. Are you Wifi?
Because I feel a connection
Gift: Pocking wifi
2. Are you a tower?
Because Eiffel for you.
Because Eiffel for you.
Gift: Round trip ticket to Paris
Apart from these, there are a couple of chocolate bars in the parcel, and attached to each is a little dare, eg. If you want to have this chocolate: you should sing your favorite song; you should tell a joke and make everyone laugh; you should stand up and dance and get everyone to copy your dance moves!
