Truth or dare for 10 year olds

[TickledOnion]

I need some truth or dare ideas for my DDs birthday party.
For truth I have things like have you asked a boy out?, have you ever farted in class and blamed someone else?, have you ever faked an illness to get out of something?
For dares I have apply lipstick without a mirror, do an impression of your least favourite teacher, eat a teaspoon of (mild) mustard”
Please throw some more ideas at me.

Truth- do you ever eat your boggies?
Dare- buy some of the jelly beans that have awful flavours so there's a chance they could have a disgusting one.

For 10 years old? And you're encouraging this...

I cringed reading this OP! Don't do it.

I wouldn’t. The Truths will get repeated at school and embarrass someone.

This has to be a wind up

There is so much wrong here the only idea I have is that you ask someone else to come up with games.

Asking a boy out?
Lipstick?
Mocking a teacher?

WTAF

You ought to warn other parents. I'd make excuses on behalf of my DC. Mine would have hated it at that age and have felt really uncomfortable. And yes one way ir6 another it will end in tears and someone feeling uncomfortable either on the day or after.

I think it's maybe a bit much for 10yr olds.

None of the OPs suggestions are even remotely suitable. Have you thought about pass the parcel? Statues? The 'dress up and eat chocolate with a knife and fork' game? (I like children to be children!)

That is an awful game to encourage.

So bizarre and inappropriate

Do any of you have 10 year old children? This is exactly the sort of thing they love. It’s totally innocent.

They are a group of 6 very close friends. They will already know all the answers about each other.

Pass the parcel at a 10 year olds party is far more likely to end with DD being ridiculed for playing baby games.

I agree with PPs it's age inappropriate. Also somewhat cringe that it's coming from someone's mum. IF these kinds of things were being talked about it would be by older children in private away from parents and that would be the main part of the fun.

No way. Wrong in so many ways.

*it’s totally innocent”
I wonder how many more posters the OP needs to tell her how inappropriate this is before it sinks in.

Fine if they choose to do it on their own. Organised by mum, no. They will feel they can't refuse and it's got potential for some real upsets. Neither of mine would have bee comfortable.
If they already know the answers then they won't find it fun anyway, so there's no point.

Let them watch a film and make popcorn and things like that. Give them £5 and send them into Primark. Do a treasure hunt round the estate.
Or do traditional games-they're old enough to begin to feel nostalgic, if you put it in the right way.

The dares seem fine to me.

Talking about asking boys out at 10, with mum present, who has made up the game.... total cringe, and a bit inappropriate.

The farting one is fine.

My dd1 isn't yet 10, but I can imagine this so of of thing being popular with her friends. I think the op's questions are pretty harmless (although I might change the dare to doing an impression of any teacher rather than picking one they don't like).

For dd1's last sleepover I suggested a game of "Would you rather?" as a slightly more benign alternative to truth or dare.

If you are doing truth or dare then I think it is better to go with tasks written by an adult so the dc don't go with anything extreme or inappropriate.

My suggestions:
Who is your favourite and worst teacher?
What's the first thing you'd buy if you won a million pounds?
If you could be any animal, what animal would you be?

Do a funny dance.
Sneak downstairs and get an apple from the fruit bowl without X's mum and dad noticing.
See how many books you can balance on your head before they fall off.

I have a 10 year old.

Those 'truth' things are not appropriate.

I would not want my 10 Yr old involved in a game like this.

Thanks Stompythedinosaur. I might go with your ideas. I’ve seen some online that are similar.

None of them have asked a boy out but they’ve all been “asked out” by boys in their class. They don’t actually go out with them but they call each other boyfriend and girlfriend at school until they get bored with it. I think that’s fairly normal for primary school. It certainly happens in my 8 year olds class.

The idea is not to embarrass anyone. It was DDs idea and she asked me to write the questions and come up with the dares.

You think a game designed to deliberately embarrass 10 year olds in front of their friends is a great idea? I cringe when adults wheel this shit out. Why on earth do you think this is a good idea for kids?

definitely
