How to play
A gift is wrapped and re-wrapped in layers of newsprint, foil, wax paper, plastic, paper, etc. All guests sit in a circle. Each one removes one layer of wrapping and passes the present on. The guest who removes the last wrap has to do a forfeit and then he gets to keep the gift.

Poison Pole
You have a pole (a broom will suffice) and you place the pole on a stool. Everyone needs to gather around the pole and hold hands. The aim is to try and get OTHER people to knock the pole off the stool. You do that by pulling people around you and trying to have them hit the pole. If a person knocks the pole off the stool, they are out. If two people let go of each other, they both are out unless one was about to hit the pole and panicked by letting go, then that person is out.

Make it out of a chair
First, you split up into groups of 3-5. You should have at least three teams to play. Each team gets a chair and the caller chooses any random tangible-object noun. Each team is given 5 minutes to create that thing/person from the chair and the items given to them. As a bonus, each team gets one random object. It needs to be something that could be wrapped/tied/stuck to the chair, and be able to get un-stuck. (Toilet paper, multi-colored duct tape, yarn, ribbons, a bag of safety pins with cotton balls, magnets, etc.) As more rounds are played, the game gets sillier and crazier every time--due to the fact that the paper has already been drawn and cut out and used, as well as things that have been pinned together, and other objects that might look "used up". It's a blast, and everyone brainstorms and then builds a wacky-looking creation out of a chair! The prep work is definitely worth it.
