Girls Birthday Party Games Girls

Truth or Dare
Girls sit in a circle on the floor.  There are two containers - one marked Truth and the other marked Dare.  The first player chooses a person in the circle and has them reach in the Truth container and pull out a truth question.  The girl reads the question to herself and decides if she wants to answer it or not.  If she wants to answer it then she reads the question aloud and then answers it.  If she doesn't want to answer the question she folds the truth question back up and puts it back in the Truth container.  Then they have to choose a dare out of the dare container and do what it tells them to do no matter what.   We've made a fun list of free clean (rated G) truth or dare questions and some fun dares for girls to print and use at a birthday party.  Free truth and dare questions. 

Nail Polish Song
This game puts a girly twist to the game of "Hot Potato".   Sit in a circle and give a pretty bottle of nail polish to the birthday girl.  While singing the song pass the bottle around the circle.  When verse is over the girl holding the bottle opens it and paints one of her nails.  Then start the song again and keep passing the nail polish and playing the game until someone has all of her fingernails painted.  You can give out prizes or just have fun singing along.  Here is one version of the song ... you can easily make it fit your daughters name and age with a little creativity.   "Happy Birthday to Mary (birthday girls name) ... we're so glad she's eight - e, so we could come and play- e.  Happy Birthday Mary!              Thanks Roslyn from Indiana for the great idea!

Drama Bag Girls Game
Make several drama bags by placing 5 or 6 different items in several large shopping bag.  Separate the girls into teams of 3 or 4 and give teams each a bag.  Have the teams go to separate rooms and come up with a skit using the things in the bag to perform for the other teams. Each team gets 10 minutes to create their skit. Variation -   Instead of doing a skit have the girls make up a song or commercial. 

Blind Trust Make Over Game
How much do you trust your friends?  A fun game where one person does the make up of another person ... while blindfolded!  One girl wears a blindfold and the make up is laid out in front of her.  Have another girl sit right in front of the girl who is blindfolded.  The blindfolded girls then tries to put make up on the other girl while everyone else watches.  When done the girls who has on makeup gets to be blindfolded and the next girl in line sits down until everyone gets a turn.

Eye on the Prize Game Game
Ask the girls to bring a nice gift that they received that they don't like or won't use to the party.   Ask them to wrap the item so no one will know what it is.  When the girls arrive gather the gifts together and tell everyone you are going to have a prize auction.  Give the girls $100.00 in paper play money and begin to auction off the unwrapped gifts.   Hold up the first gift and ask who will give $1 for it... keep bids going until there is one high bid.  For fun add gag gifts and food items to the auction items so they can bid on and win more then one item.  After everyone opens their presents they can trade presents around or you can have them use their unused money to buy candy or small presents.  Or have them bid on who gets the first piece of birthday cake, what game they want to play, what music is played, etc.

M & M Challenge
This game is played with M&M's, skittles or any small candy that comes in different colors.  Place candy in a bowl.  Sit in a circle and without looking each girl chooses 2 pieces of candy.  Put them in your mouth ... if they are the same color then you can chew them, if not you have to hold them in your mouth until you get another turn when you can try and choose 2 more of the same color.  You can't chew until you get 2 of the same color.  

Toilet Paper Share
You’ll need a new roll of toilet paper for this fun game. Girls gather in a circle and tell them you are going to pass around the  game toilet paper roll and to take as much as they think they need for the game.  Pass the paper around without any further instructions and have them take sheets of paper off the roll.  After everyone has their sheets then tell them they have to share one thing about themselves for each square of paper they have.

Girlie Ball
Buy a large inflatable ball - like a beach ball - and and in permanent marker write questions all over it.  Place everyone in a circle and throw the ball to someone.  The person who catches the  ball must answer the question that their right thumb is touching. After answering the question they then throw the ball to another person.    Fun questions to write on the ball:  (The more questions on the ball the better! Try and cover the ball completely with questions. ) Scariest movie? Favorite color? 3 words that are you?  Favorite band? Favorite singer? Favorite movie star?  Nicest thing ever said to you?  Meanest thing ever said to you? Biggest phobia? If invisible you would? What animal would you be? Secret crush?  First kiss?  A secret about you?  Pet peeve?  Think of questions that you would want to be asked or things that you would like to know about others.

Diner Dash
You will need plastic dishes and cups and two trays for this relay style game.  Give teams of girls a tray and the same amount of dishes and glasses ... or use plastic cups and saucers that have to be stacked if you would like.  One at a time the girls have to stack all the dishes on the trays and carry them with one hand above their head to the opposite side of the room and back.  If the dishes fall they have to pick them up, run to the start and begin again.   For summer time and splash parties play this game outside and use glasses and cups that are filled with water that they have to fill, carry and dump into a larger container ... first team that fills up their container wins.

Nail Polish Spin Game
Place several bright and fun nail polish bottles in front of girls who are sitting around a circle.  Have the first girl choose a color and then lay the nail polish bottle on its side and spin it.  When it finishes spinning whoever the cap of the nail polish bottle is points at has to paint just one of their nails that color.  When they are done they pick a color of polish and repeat the process so someone new has to paint their fingernail the color they chose.  Keep playing until all the girls fingernails are painted in a crazy color pattern.  Paint your toes along with your fingernails to extend the game.

Pardon Me, but what are you doing?
Girls sit down and the first player starts by acting out an action such as combing her hair.  The girls next to her asks her "Pardon me, but what are you doing?" and she has to answer with something other then what she is doing such as "Riding a horse".  Then the girl who asked the first question begins to act out something and the nest to her asks the same question.  Try and go as fast as you can without messing up.

Tracy - Justin, TX
This game is a variation to pinning the tail onto the donkey. Have the girls draw, color and cut out a pair of lips that they draw. Place some 2 sided tape on the lips. Buy a favorite poster that the group would like (I chose Zac Efron for example). Have the girls go one at a time wearing a blindfold and stick their lips on the poster after being spun around 3 times. The one that got nearest to the mouth wins the poster to take home!

Megan
Give out bead necklaces to each person as they arrive. tell them that if they say birthday at all through the party they have to give the person they said it to their beads. The one who has the most beads at the party's end wins and gets a prize. (singing happy birthday does not count).

Savannah
To play one girl will have to stand in the middle, while the others create a circle of chairs. Then each choose a chair to sit on. The middle girl will say something like, "If you're wearing blue move to the right." Players then move to the right. However, if someone is not wearing blue they stay in there seat, and somebody ends up sitting on their lap! It ends up being a blast!  Make up questions beforehand ... here are some examples:  If you have brown hair move to the right.   If your eyes are blue move to the left.  If you hate spinach move to the left.  If you think  "_____" (insert boys name) is cute move to the right.  If you've traveled out of the country move to the left.
