birthday party songs or games or plays
 
  Hello to all dear helpful teachers of this great community.I �m again in need of your creative ideas.In deed when I need something I get pleased since I know that here are lots of helpful colleagues.
    While celebrating your students � birthdays what do you do? Which songs do you use or do you use any games? I �m in need of some idea to make my dear students � birthdays edutaining.While celebrating we wanna make them learn sth as well.If you know any great song or game could you please inform me about the sites I can find them?Thanks a lot in advance.Have a great and sunny day even if it �s rainy in Turkey the whole week.
 
   And another idea from me to Victor.We ,teachers like teaching with games and songs a lot.Can �t we create a cite that we can compile all the songs or only the names of them on a webpage?And we can add our great songs there to share.For inctance when I teach �can-can �t I search a lot but I can �t find any good song.I think we can compile them according to their levels and subjects.As far as I konw there is not a comprehensive site concerning this.Thank you....

Party Game - Pass the Parcel
 
Wrap a small gift in many layers of paper. Between each layer have notes such as:
Give this to the tallest person, oldest, youngest, someone wearing glasses, wearing green, blue etc. Someone with a watch, earrings, necklace, long hair, curly hair. Include some such as �person with the nicest smile �
 
With music playing the parcel is passed round a circle. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel has to unwrap one layer of paper and read the note, then find someone who matches the description.
 
Start the music again and continue passing the parcel until all the layers are unwrapped and the lucky last person wins the gift.
 
We had great fun doing this.
