Create excitement around the series AND spark new friendships amongst your tweens with a Warriors Book Party! There’s something special about pretending to be a pack of feral cats roaming the library that brings people together. These games and activities were used in an hour-long program for a group of 25 tweens with a budget of $75. Use these activities during a Warriors book club, too!

Warrior Cats Party Games & Activities
What Warrior Cat & Clan Are You?
Set up laptops/tablets for “apprentices” to take the What Warrior Cat Are You? quiz. After their Cat name appears, encourage them to click “View Cat Page” to see which clan they belong to as well. I recommend having this be the first activity attendees do as they come into the room, especially if you want them to utilize their clans in other activities.
Cat Name Generator
Once their clan has been determined, attendees can use a Name Generator to find their cat name. Offering sticky nametags for them to write their cat names on is a fun touch.
Warrior Cats Trivia
Challenge the whole group or have them compete by their clan.

Warrior Cat Activity Stations
Split the attendees into teams by clan or let them run free to enjoy these activity stations:
Cat Masks Craft
Print cardstock cat masks for attendees to color, cut, and assemble with string. HelloKids.com has a great cat mask template, which I used to create this printable with two masks per page.
Clean the Den
Remove “dirt” (aka cat poo) from the den. Fill a bin or kiddie pool with Rice Krispies cereal and hide brown tootsie rolls.
Catch Your Dinner
Fill a bowl with water and Swedish Fish candies. Have attendees use chopsticks to “catch” the fish while timed for speed to see who can get the largest catch.
Kittens & Kills Scavenger Hunt
Task the apprentices to hunt the library for lost kittens and kills (prey). Print out pictures of kittens, mice, snakes, and birds, and hide them throughout your department or building for attendees to find and collect. For added fun, draw Clan symbols on each picture to denote which territory the kitten or kill belongs to. Challenge apprentices to only make kills and take kittens that belonged to their Clan’s territory.
After this event, our hearts soared as many attendees stuck around the library to conduct more hunts and their own “battles.”
Cat Face Cupcakes
Challenge apprentices to decorate cupcakes to resemble cat faces using frosting, Twizzlers for whiskers, M&M’s for eyes, and graham crackers for ears. Unfrosted cupcakes were donated to the event by a local grocery store.
