TEEN PARTY GAMES:


•I AM – A fun impersonation teen party game to start your party! Each player selects a person to impersonate. It can be anyone as long as everyone knows the person – teachers, parents, celebrities or friends. Each write the person’s name that they will impersonate on a piece of paper and place the paper in their own pocket. One by one start impersonating and the rest must guess! The person, who gets the most impersonations correct, wins. Have a prize for the winner and for the person that does the best impersonation!




•GIFT GRAB – Another nice icebreaker to start a party. You need 5 - 10 small wrapped gift prizes and TWO decks of cards. Sit in a circle. Pass the cards from the first deck out to everyone, giving everyone one at a time until all the cards are gone – a few might get more cards than others do. Now take the second deck of cards and call out each card as you pull them from the deck. The person that holds the matching card from the first deck of cards stand up and pick a prize, continue until all the prizes are gone (this will take 5-10 cards depending on the number of gifts). The FUN begins with the remaining cards of deck two! Everyone can now STEAL THE GIFTS from each other. You can steal a gift from anyone else who holds a gift when a card you hold is called. When the complete second deck of cards has been called out, the people with the gifts keep them.



•ANYTIME SNOWBALLS – Snowball fight of the year! It is not cold it is not wet but its loads of fun. A teen party game that nobody will forget! Start at the toe of a pair of pantyhose, fill with a half a cup of flour, tie a knot just above the flour, and cut. Tie a knot in the loose end and fill once more, continue making snowballs all the way up the leg. Each leg will make 5-6 “snowballs”. Make at least 2 snowballs for each player. HAVE A SNOWBALL FIGHT! Each snowball can be used several times before it pops! Great for free play or dividing into two teams.


•MYSTERY BALLOON PINATA – Use black balloons, as many balloons as the amount of guests. Fill 1/3 of the balloons with some sticky, gooey, slimy stuffing – cooked spaghetti (still in a bit of water) works well or it can be wet and sticky (use a syringe) such as fruit juice, milkshake, give your imagination free reign depending on the crowd. Fill 1/3 with candy and the last 1/3 with money notes, notes with prizes or notes with instructions to do something funny to the party host/hostess. Inflate the balloons. Hang a rope in the garden between two tall objects and attach all the balloons to the rope. Players are lined up at a distance. Each player receives a sharp object like a toothpick or wooden kebab stick. All players pick a balloon and run towards it at the same time, puncturing the balloon they have chosen. Some get candy (if the others do not grab it before them), some notes, and a few lucky ones covered in goo! Using messy stuffing like pasta sauce is better advised for a pool party!


•WATERMELON POOL RACE – Need a fun pool teen party game? Cover two watermelons with loads of petroleum jelly. Divide into two teams. Place the two watermelons in the water and have the two team’s race across the pool with their watermelons.




•ROCK STAR THEME COSTUMES – Plan a costume party where everyone must dress like their favorite rock star or music celebrity. Have a costume contest, let everyone vote for the best-dressed rock star, have a prize ready (movie tickets or something fun) and of course this ROCK STAR must sing a song of his/her favorite ROCK STAR karaoke style!




•PASS THE PEANUT – Sit or stand in a circle. Each player holds a plastic spoon in his or her mouth with the spoon part sticking out. The peanut is placed on one player’s spoon and the game starts! Balance the peanut on your spoon and pass it on to the next person’s spoon. Made the pass without dropping the peanut, you stay! If not, you are out and the next person starts with the peanut! The last two players to remain in the game win.


•HEAD POP – A fabulously fun teen party game to play and a very funny game to watch! Hang 20-40 or more balloons in two colours from the roof at different heights, it can be as low as the ground for more fun! Secure two pins into two hats or caps with tape, the pins sticking out of the top of the hats. Divide into two teams, each team choose a colour. Each team sends one player of choice in who has 15 seconds to pop as many balloons of the teams colour with the pin in the hat on their head! No hands or feet! Every 15 seconds a new player must go in, grab the hat, place it on their head, and start popping the teams colour balloons. The team who pops all of their balloons first wins. One person stands on the side and counts to 15 and then shouts “change” and starts counting to 15 again and continues this until one team win.




•SPIN-A-DARE – We all know spin the bottle... a teen party game that gets a little lame after the third party it is played at. Not any more! Fill a bowl with loads of dares and funny things to do that are written on little pieces of paper. Now, spin the bottle in your circle of friends and whoever the bottle lands on must collect a dare and entertain you!




•DARE-AND-DANCE -If you have a dance party, forget the bottle and the circle, randomly call up people to collect a truth or dare card or a note from the bowl (as in SPIN-A-DARE above), they must now perform the dare or funny action in front of the rest of the people that are dancing. You can even set up a little center or side stage for this, using a sturdy table.


•WHIPPED BUBBLE GUM – A messy teen party game! Each guest receives a paper plate with a piece of bubble gum, topped with a big blob of whipped cream. Hands behind the back, dig in with your mouth, find the bubble gum, chew, blow a bubble, whoever does this first wins!
