Chinese New Year Party Games

The following make great party games for your Chinese New Year Party.

Wonderment Chinese New Year Party Games

The Wonderment game is sure to take the players of your Chinese New Year party game by awe. The Wonderment game is played with just two people in the party who will be in the know of the game, resulting in "wonderment" for all the others. First, before the commencement of this Chinese New Year game, two players need to agree on a signal word such as the word "and". Then one of them declares that he/she is gifted with second sight and that he/she can name, through a closed door, any object touched by any person. The player then chooses a confederate as if by random, while actually selecting the other player. Then the player leaves the room and the selected player proceeds to call out different objects. The trick is to call out a variety of objects but precede the selected object with the signal word. For instance, the player can call out "table, rug, piano, footstool and chair, inkstand, lamp", adding a lot of object names to confuse the other player. The player then touches a chair in the room and asks the other player "what am I touching now"? The player will answer "Chair" to the amazement of everyone present in the room. Of course, the player finds the right answer because the signal word "and" was spelt immediately before the word "chair".

When played skillfully, the Wonderment Chinese New Year party game will fill your Chinese New Year party with a lot of amazement and wonder.

Postman's Knock Chinese New Year Party Games

The Postman's Knock Chinese New Year party game begins with one player going out of the room and giving a postman's knock (a double knock) at the door. One of the players must stand inside and answer the knocks made. First, the player should ask the postman "Who is the letter for?" The postman then names a member of the Chinese New Year party game, usually of the opposite sex. The player then must ask the postman how many cents need to be paid. The postman replies with a number say "six". The person for whom the letter is meant for will then pay the postman with the same number of kisses, instead of cents. The person then takes the turn as postman and the Chinese New Year party game continues.
