About Tea Time
TeaTime is a fun game that makes you think before you speak. The designated “First Judge” recites the TeaTime rhyme, and finishes by ringing a bell and saying, “Begin”. The first person to be called out also becomes a judge, as does each person called out thereafter. When there are more than two judges, it takes at least two judges to hear the mistake and call a player out.
Before the game begins, a topic is chosen such as sports, animals, school, politics, the environment, etc. The first judge asks each person to
answer the same, or different question about the topic. This continues until only one person is left in the game…the winner!
