Children's Tea Party Games

Here are a few fun games to play at a child's tea party. You can use them as is, or put your own fun spin on them!


An Old Favorite: Duck Duck Goose

Duck Duck Goose is a great favorite game for a children's tea party. Have children sit in a circle on the floor and choose one child to be the "goose." The child walks around the circle, tapping each child on the head and saying "Duck." When he or she says, "Goose" she runs, and the child who was called "Goose" must chase her. If the original "Goose" gets back to the empty seat first, the other child becomes the "Goose." If the child who was tapped on the head tags the "Goose" the she remains the "Goose" for another turn. This is a great way to burn off a little post-cookie energy and give the children a little exercise time. Bonus: The kids love it when the parents get involved!

Word Search This is a great game for children that are a little older and can read well. Take the names of all of the children that will be attending the party, as well as some tea party related words (ie, cookie, cup) and create a word search. Start with a blank piece of graph paper and write the words going up, down, and at angles. To make it very difficult you could even write the words in backwards. Fill in the extra spaces with random letters and make sure you include a wordbank. Make a copy for each child. They will love finding their own names! Don't forget to keep an answer key in case a child has trouble.

Tea Party Pictures Have each child draw a picture of the tea party on a 4 by 6 inch piece of paper (or whatever size you like). They could draw their place setting, a picture of their friends, or maybe their doll. Get a picture frame for each child from the dollar store or superstore (inexpensive plastic frames are the safest). Help each child frame their picture to take home to remember their special tea party. Have the children work together to make a picture for the child who was sick or couldn't attend.
