Truth or dare for 10 year olds

48 replies

TickledOnion · 26/10/2019 19:25

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.

Just to balance this out a bit- I have a 10 year old DD. There are 6 girls in her class ( small village school!)!- they love truth or dare. And boys are ALWAYS talked about, always. I'll be honest they are always talking about who is 'going out with who' and this is really not a big deal. I'm not saying I would feel the need to write the 'truths' out for them, if leave them to that side themselves but they will certainly enjoy playing it. We actually combined pass the parcel with a dare game as her last sleep over party. In between each layer was a written dare ( and a sweet!) they loved it!!!

I would prefer a similar but more innocuous game like Would you rather:
Let a dog lick your face/lick the dogs face
Fart in class/fart in assembly
Similar but less humiliation??

Thanks milkysmum. I was beginning to think I’d entered some kind of alternative universe!

I have a 10yr old and a 12yr old. Sounds bloody terrible to me

Taraohara · 26/10/2019 21:14

Do people really not remember 10? That’s year 5.. don’t you remember having a crush or being in love with a boy in your class? And you’d probably tell your friends about it?
And the other silly things? Did people never make fun of teachers with their friends.

It’s truth or dare , op isn’t suggesting play drink while you think or something!

Op it’s a great idea and they will love it. Dares could be to come down and ask you for a drink with a french accent. Doing make up on someone blind folded , walk in a straight linr after being spun round 10 times.

Your dd will have a great time and no one will ask when pass the parcel is starting

Thanks taraohara. Those are great ideas for dares. (I think I’ll save the drinking games till they are 11 )

I was not in love at 10 and I definitely would not have told my mum about it

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 26/10/2019 21:30

There was a split in DD's year, some of them were obsessed with boys and some couldn't have been less interested. As for embarrassing each other with truth or dare, I'm pretty sure DD would have hated it and so would I at that age, its horrible being put on the spot like that.

Crede · 26/10/2019 21:35

Playing truth or dare with your friends at 10 is fun, playing truth or dare organised by a parent is weird and awkward.

Taraohara · 26/10/2019 21:38

@Crede

The op is doing the admin . She’s probably doing the writing and therefore checking the dates and questions are ok
Pretty sure most mums don’t play truth or dare with there dd and a load of dd friends

CherryPlum · 26/10/2019 21:41

My 10 year old would find it 'babyish' having mum lead a game of truth or dare in front of her friends. Cringey, embarrasing, and dull.

But maybe your DD is quite young for her age and would enjoy playing truth or dare with her mum 🤷‍♀️

Tableclothing · 26/10/2019 21:44

I remember playing Truth or Dare at sleepovers about that age. It frequently descended into bullying-type behaviour and caused no end of drama and upset. I think you are being very brave, OP.

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 26/10/2019 21:48

My DCs are older now but I remember talking to them about dare games and how they can easily upset someone or go too far and end up with someone doing something they regret. So even if the truths and dares are innocuous and written by an adult there is no way I'd be encouraging this.

TickledOnion · 26/10/2019 21:57

I’m not actually playing it with them. I’m just coming up with questions and dares. This way the questions are relatively innocent and the dares aren’t dangerous or too messy.

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 26/10/2019 22:49

That's not the point though, you might start them off with suitable truths and dares but then they start taking it a bit further, a bit further, before you know it someone is hurt or embarrassed. I'd be encouraging different things to do, mine were still happy with hide and seek at 10 (and for a few years after), plus a film and pizza, or decorating cupcakes or similar.

AmyFl · 27/10/2019 00:23

Please don't do this. It sounds fucking horrible.

greypetex · 27/10/2019 00:34

Bloody hell

Can you not just organise normal kids games? Why do you need to take an adult thing and try to adapt it? Truth or dare for 10 year olds is simply fucking weird and I would not be happy if my 10yo were at a party where something like this was organised.

BarbedBloom · 27/10/2019 00:41

Well I had crushes on girls at that age and boys. I think this is not really the game to play. I was private and i would have found this excruciating, especially if organised by someone's mum

ExpletiveDEVILighted · 27/10/2019 08:23

Yes, I was and still am very private, as is DD. I would have hated this so much.

happytoday73 · 27/10/2019 08:37

My 10 year old would hate it...

Landlubber2019 · 27/10/2019 08:45

My 10 year old would also hate this..... His 8 year old brother would love it..... Years of ammunition to tease and taunt his brother with

I would be unimpressed with any parent that orchestrated this type of game.

PollyShelby · 27/10/2019 08:48

I work with year 6 and although they would like it, just be a little careful so if they fall out later down the line, none of the things they are confessing to can be used as bullying fodder.

I've had that before and it caused a lot of problems.

1066vegan · 27/10/2019 09:44

I would just stick with the dares because truths could cause problems later on if the girls fall out. Make them fairly innocuous and let girls pull out 2 dares so that they have a choice of which one to do.
