Tween birthday parties can be tricky. The kids are too young to have too many organized activities, but too old for just letting them sit around and visit, or have boy/girl interaction. The following are a few fun party games that tweens will enjoy.
Treasure Hunt Games
Even tweens can get excited about following clues to find treasure. The way to make this game an exciting party game for tweens is to make the clues on their level, or rather difficult, and make the treasure something that would interest a tween. Tweens are still into candy, so even that would work. Just remember, making it seem "little kiddish" will turn your tweens off to this fun party game.
Mummy Wrap Game
This is a fun team game for a party. Basically, you are going to want to split the kids off into teams, and give each team some toilet paper. Then, start them off, and the winner is the team who wraps one of their team members into a mummy the fastest. They will shriek with laughter as they get dizzy and fall during the play. You can provide a ton of toilet paper and give the kids a chance to let everyone become the mummy.
Charades Game
Kids to adults love playing charades. One of the best ways to direct this kind of play is to write down objects that the birthday guests can act out. If you give them specific ideas for what to be, the game will go better. You can do a theme, such as "birthday" and have them act out being things like gift bags, birthday cake, singing guests, a candle being blown out, etc. Or you can just do whatever. Another fun twist is to have each person pick a paper out and act it out at the same time, and have two of each item. The goal of the game being to find your match without talking, just be watching people act out their object.
Spoon race Games
Divide the guests into teams, or have each guest play individually, and give them spoons with an object that they have to hold on it. Make an obstacle course the kids have to race through. If they drop their spoon item, they must start over. Whoever completes the course first wins!
TV Tag Game
This is a classic game of tag, but instead of freezing, or becoming it automatically, kids have the chance to call out a television character. If they do not, or can't think of one, they become it. The rule is, no repeats, so they have to pay attention to what other players say.
Nail Polish Birthday Spin Game
For this game, you need an assortment of nail polish colors, and you sit in a circle with a nail polish in the middle. The birthday girl spins the nail polish bottle, and whoever the cap points to must paint one of the nails. Then it is their turn to spin. You play until every girl has painted all of their fingers.
