Party Games for 12 Year Olds

  1. Catch the Candy

  • Place a large bowl of brightly colored candy-coated candy in the center of the group. You could use M&M’s, Skittles or whatever your group likes.
  • Each person has a straw and a cup.
  • When the game starts, each person must transfer as many candies as they can to their cup.
  • The catch is they MUST use only the straw. They cannot touch the candy with their hands.
  • Once all the candy is gone, the person with the most candies in their cup is the winner.

  1. Flying Like a Kite

Having a party happening outside? Try one of my fav hilarious party games, this one is too funny!

  • Attach kites to the back of baseball caps.
  • Participants must put on the baseball caps and try to keep their kite in the air.
  • For every time your kite hits the ground, you get a point.
  • The person with the least amount of points at the end of the game wins!
  • Set a timer for this game and play for a minute or two at a time!

  1. Wear That

  • For this game, fill a black garbage bag with silly clothing items and accessories, like bikinis, large boxers, feather boas and high heels.
  • Then, have players take turns rolling a dice.
  • If a player rolls a 1 or a 6, they must take an item from the bag and put it on over their clothing.
  • Continue playing until all the items are removed from the bag.
  • The winner is the player wearing the least number of items.

  1. Commercial Birthday Game

  • One player starts the game by choosing an item in the room, such as a pillow or remote control.
  • Then, they must perform a 30-second commercial on that item.
  • The game continues until everyone has had a turn.

  1. Two Truths and One Lie

  • As each guest arrives to the party, give them a 3-by-5 inch-index card and have them write down 3 facts about themselves, two true facts and one lie.
  • After everyone has arrived, read aloud each guest’s facts and the other party guests need to figure out the lie.

Party Games for 13 Year Olds

  1. Balloon Pop

This one you need a nice large space to play in.

  • Blow up a balloon for each person.
  • Using a piece of string, tie a balloon to the foot of each player keeping the string length short.
  • When the game begins, participants must try to pop the other balloons without getting their balloons popped.
  • The last person left with a balloon is the winner! Turn on some music for more of a dance party game vibe.
  • This is definitely one of my favorite fun things to do at a birthday party for 13 year olds!

  1. Giant Tape Ball

This game takes a bit of prep work but is well worth the effort to prep before the party. This has got to be one of my fav indoor party games for teens.

  • Gather a bunch of little prizes such as glow sticks, candy, nail polish or other small presents. Anything that is made of paper roll in a piece of clear saran wrap first to keep the tape from sticking to it.
  • Now use a roll of packing tape and start making a giant ball of tape, adding your goodies and presents to them as you go. I find it’s better to use clear tape, so you can see all the treats, but if all you have is colored tape, it will work.
  • To start the game, you need a pair of dice and your tape ball.
  • Take turns going around the circle and rolling the dice.
  • The first person to roll doubles (both dice are the same number) gets a chance to start ripping into the tape ball.
  • While they try to rip out prizes, the other players keep taking turns rolling the dice until someone else rolls doubles.
  • Once a new double has been rolled, the new person now has a chance to rip the prizes out of the tape ball.
  • The game ends when all of the prizes are ripped out of the ball!

This game can get hilarious, especially for a large group of teens. I can’t wait to get some more prizes to play again! You can also play this game with Saran Wrap, like in this video:

  1. Would You Rather

This party game is hilarious to hear everyone’s responses. You never know what your friends will pick!

  • Create a jar full of questions with each paper including a choice.
  • The only rule is that participants must choose one of the options on their question.

Here are some examples of questions:

  • Would you rather hang with Taylor Swift or Selena Gomez for 24 hours straight?
  • Would you rather be able to change the past or see the future?
  • Would you rather go without the internet or without a car for a month?

  • Then, have everyone place their hands behind their backs and on the word “Go,” players need to dive in and retrieve the gummy bears.
