Tea party games are always fun to plan. If you are looking for the best tea party games, you have come to the right place.
The first game I am going to tell you about is called Teacup Swap. Each guest needs to have a teacup and saucer to play. Either provide one for each of your guests or let them know they need to bring one that they are willing to spare in the invitation.
When the guests arrive, have them sit at the tea table and place their cups and saucers in front of them.
When you are ready, have everyone walk around the table, admiring each teacup and saucer set. When everyone has finished, let them know that the first guest to arrive is the first to choose a teacup.
You can go in the order of the guests arrivals, by birthdays, or go in age order.
It is lots of fun if you keep the fact that they will be trading teacups a secret. Just make sure that those bringing their own know that they should make sure they bring a teacup that they don't mind giving away.
Everyone is a winner and they all get to take home a pretty new teacup!
Try playing Tea Tasting with up to 10 people at your next tea party. This game is lots of fun. You will need a few teapots and a small inexpensive prize.
Buy an assortment of teas and steep each in a different pot.
Give each guest a little bit of the teas, keeping the flavor a secret. Serve everyone one flavor at a time.
After everyone has tasted each flavor and guessed what they might be, award a prize to the best guesser.
Writing down which tea is in which pot is a good idea, just in case you forget.
Buy teas that have very different flavors for this game. The game won't be much fun if every tea tastes the same.
In general, avoid buying mixed teas because the flavors can get confusing.
Try out these great teas for distinct flavors:
Peppermint
Rose Hip
Orange Zest
Green Tea
Lavender
Chai
Chamomile
Ginger
Raspberry
For a fun and silly game at a relaxed tea party, have each guest make a tea party hat.
Look at a craft store or a dollar store for inexpensive hat making materials.
Don't worry too much about finding the perfect craft supplies. Your guests are sure to get creative with whatever you supply.
Need some ideas of what to buy? Here are a few ideas:
Silk flowers
Ribbons
Lace
Buttons
Beads
Thread
Bells
Fabric
Buy flowing fabric such as tulle, organza, or lame (pronounced la-may) and cut them into pieces big enough to wrap around the brim of a hat.
Having a hot glue gun around is important. The more hot glue guns the better!
No hot glue guns? Not to worry. Just buy some quick drying craft glue while you are at the craft store.
When each hat is complete, award a prize to the most creative hat, the prettiest hat, the smallest hat, etc. Make sure you take lots of pictures! - 15437
