Turning sixteen is a big milestone for teenage girls. Not only are they allowed to drive when they are sixteen in most states, but it also symbolizes growth and independence in adulthood. Celebrate this momentous occasion by playing these games at a Sweet Sixteen party.

teen trivia
Test the girls to see how sharp they are with current events. Instead of making this a political science lesson, turn the questions around current events in pop culture to determine who is the hippest diva of them all. Before the party, round up a tabloid or two and check out some Hollywood websites. Learn about topics that are interesting to teens. At the party, hand out answer sheets and read the questions aloud. The girl who guesses the most wins!

charades
Before the party, write down various teen-related topics on pieces of paper. Include titles of movies, books, TV shows, and celebrities that are popular with teen girls. She divides the guests into two groups and has one player from one team draw a piece of paper with the clue written on it. Your goal is to make your team guess the clue without using words! They can dance or use objects but they can’t talk, sing or hum! When the timer goes off or the correct answer is given, it is the opposing team’s turn to play. The winning team will guess the most clues after three rounds!
