7. Witch Hat Cupcakes

Place a Hershey’s Kiss atop an Oreo cookie using icing to hold the pieces together and you’ve got an adorable witch’s hat that you can use as a cupcake topper. Another option is to top your cupcakes with an upside-down chocolate ice cream cone to make a witch hat design. 

8. Green Elixir and Pink Potion

If you’d like to try the wizard’s famous green elixir you can mix up a fabulously green drink with this green punch recipe. For something a little more G(a)lindified, offer your guests pink lemonade.

Place pretzel sticks into upside down mini peanut butter cups to make an easy and fun party treat that looks like Elphaba’s broomstick.

10. Pink and Green Party Snacks

Offer your guests an assortment of pink and green party treats such as M&M’s, candy-coated popcorn, or cotton candy. You can also assemble a charcuterie board filled with green snacks like guacamole, grapes, and green apple slices, and pink snacks like salami, strawberries, and watermelon.

Wicked Party Games and Activities

11. Witch Hat Ring Toss

One of Elphaba's defining costume features is her pointed, black hat, which makes the perfect prop for a witch hat ring toss game. Make your own game set with some plastic rings and a black traffic cone as the witch hat or purchase a Witch hat ring toss game.

12. Pin the Hat on the Witch

For more fun with Elphaba's iconic hat, play Pin the Hat on the Witch. You can give the game a Wicked-themed twist by making witch hat cutouts from black construction paper and using a Wicked movie poster to pin the hat on Elphaba. 

13. Yellow Brick Road Musical Chairs

Musical chairs is another classic party game that you can play with a fun, Wicked-themed twist. Make a yellow brick road by laying yellow carpet squares, foam tiles, or sheets of construction paper in a circle, setting out one less square than your number of players. Play some music (the Wicked soundtrack, of course!) while party guests dance along the yellow brick road. When the music stops, players will need to stand on a square, and the player left without a square is out.

14. Have a Wicked Singalong

Have fun belting out favorite musical numbers like “Popular” and “Defying Gravity” along with Glinda and Elphaba while screening the movie’s home singalong version.

16. Wicked Coloring Pages

Get free, downloadable Wicked coloring pages of your favorite scenes from the movie with illustrations of Elphaba, Glinda, the Emerald City, and more.
