We would have three days of clues and gifts before revealing. On the reveal night, we would tie one end of yarn to a small stuffed animal, and put the lil's name on the stuffed animal in the front of the living room. We would then take the entire roll of yarn and wind it around all the furniture, in and out of the other yarn, etc. creating a huge maze. The big would hold the end of the yarn that wasn't tied to the stuffed animal. The lils would go into the living room, find their stuffed animal, then follow the yarn all over the living room until (sometimes after a very long time) they would find their big at the other end of the yarn. We had pledge classes of 50+, so all that yarn and all those lils following it created a huge mass of confusion - it was a ton of fun! The excitement was spread throughout the evening, as some bigs used longer yarn than others.
