Saran Wrap (or Shrink Wrap) Ball!

(Note:  My sister asked a friend of hers what she used when she did it, and she said "Saran Wrap", and that "It was great!".  So I vote Saran Wrap, since it seems to work just fine.)

I think this would be a very fun family game or party game!

While the first person tries to un-wrap the ball, the person to their right is trying to roll doubles with the dice.

When they roll doubles, the dice get passed to the right of them, and they get the ball, to try to un-wrap.

There's candy (or money, or something) between almost every layer.

I'm going to attempt to share this video, however, sometimes, Facebook videos or pictures aren't accessible anymore after a period of time.

We'll see if this one is viewable by anyone at anytime..........

Even if the video disappears, I'll post the instructions here.

First, here's the Facebook link to the video:

Saran or Shrink Wrap Ball!

Here are the instructions (below) that one lady posted when someone asked about how to play the game and make the ball:

However -- as I read through it though, she says that the person to the left of the person with the ball rolls the dice.

In the video, the person to the RIGHT of the person with the ball is rolling the dice.  That makes more sense.

Also, it sounds like this person is someone other than the person who made the ball in the video because she says that it took about 20 minutes to play with 24 students.  There aren't 24 people playing the game in this video, and it looks like a family, not a bunch of students.  Plus -- you can do whatever you want!  The video and instructions are just for ideas.   : )

INSTRUCTIONS:

To make the candy ball:

I used about 75 pieces/ packages of candy. I used all sizes and types.
 
To start the ball, I used a large jingle bell elf as the center. (It was fun for the kids to hear the jingle inside as they pulled off layer after layer. The closer they got to the center, the louder the bell jingled)
 
I wrapped it in bubble wrap and taped it with packing tape.
 
Then I placed a piece of candy on the ball that was forming and wrapped it up with shrink wrap (the sturdy wrap used for packing and moving) I would not recommend saran wrap as it is not sturdy enough.
 
I continued this process of placing a candy on the wrapped ball until it was a little larger than a basketball.
 
Every few layers, I would use tape to seal up the recently wrapped layer (this made it a little more challenging and I recommend doing this)

To Play the game: 
A player hold the ball and starts removing the layers.
 
The player on their left is rolling 2 dice as fast as possible in an attempt to roll doubles
 
When the player to the left rolls doubles, they pass the pan and dice to their left and the ball is passed to them.
 
They tear as many layers as possible while the player to their left is rolling the dice and so forth.
 
As the layers are removed, the candy starts to come out.
 
Players keep any candy that comes out during their turn.
This took us about 20 minutes with 24 students playing.
This was fast moving and kept their total attention.
Everyone got at least 1 piece of candy.

To make this more challenging, have players wear gloves. If you plan on using gloves, you may not want to use as much tape when assembling the ball.
