Teen Games To Keep Those Raging Hormones Busy!To Keep Those Teens Occupied!
EGG TOSS Everyone pairs up and each pair is given an egg (raw is more fun than boiled). The goal is to toss the egg to their partner and their partner tries to catch it without breaking it. If they succeed, each person takes a step backwards. The egg toss continues until someone is out. The winners keep having playoffs until only one person remains, who is the ultimate winner. EGG & TROUT Split everyone up into guy/girl pairs. Attach a raw egg to each guys forehead using duct tape. Girls get on the back of the guy with a raw trout. Do NOT use a frozen fish, as they can hurt or literally kill someone. All the girls try to break the eggs on other guys' heads using their trout. Whichever team is able to protect their egg from breakage wins. To help your teens learn how to work together, consider teen games that are focus on team building. DO YOU TRUST ME? Here's one of the teen games that involves trust that's an old favorite. One person stands with their back to another and falls backward into the arms of that person. Step it up a bit and have your teens stand on a picnic table and fall backwards into the arms of at least 4-6 teens, depending on their size. THE HUMAN KNOT Here's one of the teen games that requires everyone to work together. Have everyone stand in a circle and face each other. Then have them hold the hands of two other people in the group who are not standing to their immediate right or left. Once this is done, the object of this team-building activity is to figure out a way to make a straight line out of everyone without letting go of the hands they are holding. Teens love to be creative, so you might consider including some teen games that call for their creative juices to flow. TOILET PAPER CLOTHING Divide everyone into pairs and give them rolls of TP and tape. Have them make TP clothing for one another like head-pieces, trains on a dress, vest, tie, etc. When everyone is done, have a fashion show, along with a panel of judges to crown the winner(s). STYLIN' Guys with hair that is about 5"-6" long are the "models." The rest of the teens are the stylists. The models put a nylon stocking on their head. The stylists begin poking toothpicks through the nylon to grab small amounts of hair and pull it through the nylon. This process continues to create their new "do." Once this is done, they can add various temporary hair colors, barrettes, etc. Whichever team creates the best hairstyle wins. If you want to step it up a bit, add make-up, a dress, heels, etc. and make your "models" beautiful! Relays are always fun, so you might consider some teen games that involve the thrill of victory. DRINK N' DRIVE TRIKE RACE Some teen games require you to not act your age, this is one of those games. Divide your teens into teams. Give each team a tricycle. Create an obstacle course for your ridders to follow. When they reach the end, have them drink something from a baby bottle and ride the trike back to their teammates. The next teammate does the same thing. Whichever team gets through all of their teammates first wins. FLAMINGO FOOTBALL Play tackle football--guys against girls. All the regular rules apply except the guys must hold one foot off the ground with one hand at all times. They will have to run, pass, catch, hike, and even try to kick the ball, all on one foot. FYI, the girls usually beat the guys. When determining which games for teens to include, you'll want to be sure to consider a water-related game. It's the kind of thing that creates an instant love/hate relationship. They love the idea of inflicting wetness on their opponents, and hate the thought of getting wet themselves. BLIND WATER BALLOON VOLLEYBALL Create a "net" by attaching opaque shower curtains to volleyball net. Be sure teams can't see one another. Divide guests into two teams. Give each team the same number of water balloons as there are players. Each team throws their balloons over the "net" with the hope of breaking them on someone. Meanwhile, everyone tries to catch the flying water balloons to avoid breakage and throw them back at their opponents. Whichever team breaks the most balloons on the other team are the winners. WATER BALLOON TOSS Fill balloons with water prior to party. Allow 4-5 per person. Divide everyone into pairs. Have partners toss back and forth until one person is eliminated. Continue to pair up until one person remains who is the winner. For an added challenge put a little vegetable oil on the balloons and proceed with the game. TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION Get some tabloids and look for crazy headlines. Write one on individual index cards. Then make up a crazy headline and write it on the other half of each card. Divide guests into two teams. Team #1 draws a card and reads the two headlines to Team #2, who must decide which headline is the truth. Play continues and goes back and forth between the teams. Whoever has the most points, wins. GARLIC CHOCOLATE Place a piece of raw garlic clove in an ice cube tray. Use a 1 to 5 ratio. For example, 10 kids = 2 garlic chocolates. Place Macadamia nuts in remaining compartments. Pour melted chocolate over them and ensure they are well covered, so no one will detect their contents. Have everyone take a piece of chocolate and bite into it simultaneously. The object of the game is to guess who is eating the garlic. If the persons with the garlic chocolate are able to conceal the fact they ate garlic chocolate, they win.
