Tupperware Party Game: Break the Ice!

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Traditional Tupperware Party Games

Tupperware distributors can choose a Tupperware party game from more than 200 games that focus attention on Tupperware.

* Concentration Tupperware Party Game

Prepare 2 identical sets of 12 square photos of Tupperware products. Paste the photos on plain white cardstock. Arrange shuffled photos upside down on a table: 6 across and 4 down. As guests select two squares at a time, you turn them over. If they are a match, leave them turned. If they do not match, turn them upside down again. Guests must concentrate on where they saw the photos. The person who matches all the photos wins. You can limit the number of guesses permitted to make this Tupperware party game more challenging.

* Word Search Tupperware Party Game

This Tupperware party game is like the word searches you see in word game books except that it uses Tupperware product names. Prepare your word search by arranging letters on a paper in 15 columns and 15 rows. This is done easily on a computer. Among the letters, hide the names of Tupperware products in such a way that they can be spelled out vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Give each guest a copy of the puzzle and a list of the hidden word. Ask them to find and circle each word in the puzzle. The one who finishes first wins a gift.

* Gift Bag Tupperware Party Game

Each guest is given a small gift bag in this Tupperware party game. You announce that you are going to read a story, and when they hear the word “right” or “left” in the story, they should pass their gift bag in the correct direction while you continue reading. They should never have more than one gift bag at a time, and when the story ends, they keep the gift bag they are holding.

Whatever Tupperware party game is used, the winner often receives a gift-wrapped Tupperware product.

New Tupperware Party Games

Tupperware distributors may use other games at their parties, and some christen their new games as Tupperware party games.

* Parcel-passing Tupperware Party Game

Place a small Tupperware gift in a box. Warp it in a layer of paper. Now wrap it in another layer, and repeat until you have about 10 layers. Finally wrap it in gift paper so it looks nice.

Seat guests in a circle, and play a snippet of music. When the music stops, the person holding the parcel removes ONE layer of wrapping. Repeat until the box is unwrapped. The winner opens the box and keeps the gift.

* Mimes Tupperware Party Game

Several women are taken from the room. Those remaining are warned not to say a word. One is returned, and told to mime something. Example: putting 6 wet eels into a Tupperware bowl and closing the lid securely. Before she starts miming, a second woman is brought into the room and told to watch. When the first woman is done miming, she sits down, and the second is told to do what she just saw. Before she starts, a third woman is brought in to watch, etc. When the last person has done the mime, ask her what she just did. Chances are it will NOT be what the first was told to mime. This Tupperware party game has no winner, so no gift is given.

* Memory Tupperware Party Game

On a tray, place about 10 to 15 Tupperware items (e.g. key chain, midget tumbler, garlic keeper, spatula, salt shaker, ice cream scoop, etc.). Cover the tray with a cloth. Seat guests in a circle.

Place the tray in the middle of the circle and tell guests they will have just 60 seconds to look at what’s under the cloth. Remove the cloth for just 60 seconds. When the time is up, replace the cloth. Now ask each guest in turn to name an object on the tray. The first person who fails to name an object, repeats an object that has already been named, or names something not on the tray is out. The tray is then removed, some or all of the objects replaced and rearranged. The game is re-started with the person following the one who is out. The last person to go “out” is the winner and receives a gift. If this Tupperware party game is too easy for the group, add more objects or reduce the time.

* Chubby Bunnies Tupperware Party Game

Guests try to see how many marshmallows they can stuff into their mouths and still say “Chubby Bunnies”. The winner is the one who can manage the highest number. This Tupperware party game shows how fresh and soft marshmallows are when kept in Tupperware.

* Improvisation Tupperware Party Game

Pair guests into teams of two. Give each team a Tupperware object with which to perform in as many creative ways as possible. Example: a double colander. Hold the white part in front of your face, and say, “Your puck will never get past me!” or “Scalpel, please.” Place the red part on your head, and speak in a robot-like voice. When every team has performed, vote on the best and give both team members a gift.

No matter what Tupperware party game you choose, it is important to prepare before your party. Be sure you have the rules written out in a way that is easy to understand. Try reading them to a 9-year old to be sure you haven’t left out an important point. Have all equipment ready to go – all prizes wrapped.

Tupperware party games are so great at Tupperware parties, you may want to use them at your next birthday party, too.

singing lessons - classical or musical theatre?

Monday, November 30th, 2009

I really want a career in the West End doing musical theatre so I started having singing lessons about a year and a half ago and am now working towards my grade five exam.
My teacher is really good and I’m enjoying singing but the only problem is that my voice is now really classical sounding and nearly all the songs I sing with my singing teacher are classical, which is still fun but it requires different techniques to musical theatre singing, which is what I really love.
Do you think I should quit my singing lessons?
Thanks xx

The magic of Edinburgh Christmas and Hogmanay

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Known as the ‘festival city’, Edinburgh’s Christmas and Hogmanay are two glittering events for the Scottish capital’s winter.

At the end of November, the Christmas lights are switched on amid a blaze of ceremony on Princes Street.

Carol singing, fireworks and decorations lighting up throughout the city centre mark the beginning of the winter festivals for this beautiful city.

Princes Street and its much loved gardens become home to Winter Wonderland, where a host of seasonal activities and entertainment take place in the shadow of iconic Edinburgh Castle.

With lights twinkling in the trees below the castle, the city after dark enjoys a deeply magical atmosphere.

Children adore Winter Wonderland, with its ice skating, carousels and Ferris wheel, and the air of an enchanted Christmas.

And kids of all ages go wild for the snow slide and snow cars.

The bustling German street market, with the obligatory offerings of snow frosted candle holders, charming wooden toys and watercolour prints of cityscapes, is a friendlier, more festive way to enjoy Christmas shopping.

When the Scottish air starts to bite, stalls selling cosy knitted scarves, hats and gloves are abundant, as are favourite winter comfort foods such as mince piece and shortbread.

This can all be washed down with mulled wine or hot chocolate.

A wander will take you to many more novelties, from open air carol concerts to the reindeer at the west end of the gardens.

Edinburgh offers fantastic Christmas shopping, from the popular high street chains that stretch along Princes Street, to independent stores in the old town or designer haven Harvey Nichols.

Theatre lovers are spoilt for choice on the seasonal stage, with the city’s many venues performing for a range of tastes, not least the pantomime extravaganza at the famous Edinburgh Playhouse.

Following Christmas is the event which has proved a cultural phenomenon, drawing thousands of revellers from around the world to see in the New Year in Scotland.

Edinburgh’s Hogmanay epitomises Scotland’s hospitality and friendliness. The event offers four days of celebration, with music, dance and street theatre offered in the run up to the countdown.

These include a torchlight procession, creating a ‘river of fire’ through the historic Royal Mile to Calton Hill. Pipes and drums, music and performers play as fire sculptures are lit on the hill.

There is also a street dance or ‘ceilidh’, which is fantastic fun for older children, known as ‘Family Hoog.’New Year’s Eve itself is the time for the world famous street party with sensational fireworks, and concerts featuring high profile acts.

Daring souls may wish to join the ‘loony dook’, where hardy types mark the first day of the year with a dip in the freezing cold waters of the River Forth, in the shadow of the bridges at South Queensferry.

Or, you could just eat, drink and sleep the day away in the comfort of one of the many beautiful hotels in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh is hugely popular at Christmas and Hogmanay so advance booking is advisable to allow choice.

Fortunately, with such a vast array of high quality Edinburgh accommodation, there is something for everyone.

You may opt for serviced apartments in Edinburgh or hotels and whatever you choose, this trip is certain to deliver one of your most treasured memories of Christmas and New Year.
