When
planning your fabulous Sweet 16 birthday bash, it’s imperative that you don’t
forget the entertainment! Sure, if you have all of your best friends present,
you’ll have a blast no matter what you’re doing, but adding a few fun games to
your party will only serve to make it even better! We’ve come up with quite a
few different Sweet 16 party game ideas. It doesn't matter which one you pick, because they're all a total blast! Pick
one or two to play on your big day and you definitely won’t regret it.
Lip Sync
Contest.
Similar to the super popular TV show, Lip Sync Battle, this game
encourages your guests to do their best diva impression! Come up with a list of
songs, from old favorites to new hits, and let your guests draw a song from a
bowl. Either let all of the guests sing once and have someone who isn’t
attending the party vote for the best lip sync-er, or pair party guests up to
battle it out one-on-one! Watching your friends sing and act their hearts out
will be hilarious, and bring you back to the days when you’d sing to Britney
Spears in the bathroom mirror!
Guess the
Name.
Ask guests to write down a few names each to contribute to a large bowl.
Names can be people from history, celebrities, characters from books and
movies, or even mutual friends or people in the room. Divide your guests into
two teams. Set a timer for a minute, and let each team take turns trying to
guess as many names on the papers as possible within the time frame. The person
who reads the name can give clues to their teammates, but cannot say the
written name!
Junk in
the Trunk.
Players will all get empty tissue boxes tied around the back of
their waists. The boxes will be filled with ping pong balls. Once everyone is
ready, the players shake and move in an attempt to get all of their balls free
from the box. The first player with an empty box has broken it down the best
and will receive a prize!
Would You
Rather.
Players write down ‘would you rather’ questions, like ‘would you
rather inherit a million dollars or get your dream job’. The group should read
each question aloud and share with one another which option they would rather
have or do! This game is especially fun the crazier and funnier the questions
get!
Jeopardy.
Although it takes a bit of pre-planning because a board with questions has to
be made up, jeopardy can be great fun- especially when your friends are the
type to enjoy a little healthy competition! Pick categories like celebrity
relationships, Disney movies, One Direction, and other fun ones!
Bring to
the Moon.
This is a version of the alphabet game, where the first player says
“I’m going to the moon and I’m bringing an ____”. Since they’re the first one
to go, they’d start with A, and say (for example) avocado. The next player
would say “I’m going to the moon and I’m bringing an avocado and a bundt cake.”
Each subsequent player adds a word that starts with the next letter of the
alphabet to the words already said, and the person who forgets a word first
loses!
Definitions
Game.
Write down a handful of words with their definitions that are rare or
your players will not be familiar with and put them in a bowl. One at a time, a
player will pull a word and read it aloud. The other players will then write
down their guesses for the definition. The winner of each round is the person
who either guesses the definition or who the other players vote for as the most
plausible.
