Alice in Wonderland - Games
- Play lawn croquet: with hedgehog plush toys as balls, or perhaps hedgehogs painted on the balls. Attach colored and stuffed socks to the end of the mallets and sew on eyes, to represent flamingos, or use a plush flamingo. Create large cardboard playing cards for the arches.
- Play chess. You can do this on a normal sized chessboard, or you can make a huge chessboard in your garden and have your guests play the pieces!
- Play "pin the grin on the Cheshire Cat"
- Turn on the TV and play Alice in Wonderland movies during the party.
- Paint eggs so they resemble Humpty Dumpty. Or buy white tea pots and tea cups, and paint your own tea set.
- Do the Caucus race. Make your guests run around in a circle, and when you shout 'stop' the last one to sit down/run to the middle is out. Or make a caucus version of the game musical chairs, where you remove one of the chairs each round and people have to find a chair to sit on when the music (the caucus race song from the Disney movie) stops.
- Buy some basic top hats and let your guests decorate them
- Hide a small golden key or a White Rabbit plush and have your guests find it
- Play games with a 'Contrariwise' theme: make people name stickers, where you write their names on backwards. Everyone must call everyone else by their backwards name, or risk a forfeit. You could invent a game where names must be called, or you could just have this going on throughout the party. Also, you could ask people questions and they must give the opposite answer. Or, say the answer, but backwards. For most of these games, some kind of time pressure is essential to make it more difficult and to make people make mistakes and have to do forfeits. The more adult the party, the more adult the questions. 'Have you ever done xyz?' would be interesting if people have to say the opposite. It becomes more like a truth or dare game then.
- Make coloring pages for children so they can paint the roses red
- Have an "I'm late!" potato sack race, in which everyone has to hop to the finish like the White Rabbit.
- Gather a lot of teacups and put them upside down on a table. Under one of them, you hide a Dormouse (or White Rabbit). Your guests take turns and may lift one cup per turn to see whether something is underneath it. The one who finds the Dormouse wins. You can make the game harder by inventing extra rules, like shuffling the cups after each turn.
