How To Play Poop The Potato With A Twist

You may have already heard of the viral Poop The Potato game. (There’s even a game you get now!) It’s a hilariously fun teen game that will have everyone laughing!

Our teenager party game is a variation on the game Poop The Potato that we call Bomb the Balloon (or, if you want to get really teen gross, called it the BM –for bowel movement– Balloon Game).

You’ll Need:

  • 2-3 buckets
  • Water balloons (around 2-3 per person so you have extras)
  • Towels (for after)

Here’s How to Play The Game:

  1. Divide the group into teams. (Be sure to let them know on the party invitation that you’ll be playing water games and to bring a towel and a change of clothes.)
  2. Have each team line up at one end of the yard and then place one bucket for each team at the other end of the yard.
  3. Each team member places a water balloon between their legs and must run to the bucket, turn around, and “poop” their balloon into the bucket without the balloon busting, and then run back to their team before the next team member can go.
  4. If the balloon bursts at any time, the team member must go to the back of their team line, get a new balloon, and then try again when it’s their turn.
  5. First team to get all their water balloons in the bucket without them bursting wins.

Slip-n-Slide Twister

Having an outdoor teenage birthday party or teen summer gathering? Slip and slide Twister is a fun take on two games for parties: Twister and summer slip-n-slides!

Again, for any of the water games or water balloon games, be sure to let teens know on the party invitation that you’ll be playing water games and to bring a towel, wear something they don’t mind getting wet, and to bring a change of clothes.

How To Play Slip n Slide Twister

  1. Grab some inexpensive Twister games (how many you need will depend on the number of party guests) — make sure they’re the ones with the OVERSIZED plastic Twister fold outs like this!
  2. Lay the foldout(s) outside on the grass. Wet foldouts down with water and dish soap (you can use a mop or sponge to spread the dishsoap around).
  3. Play the Twister game according to the rules, except the soapy water makes it much harder (and funnier!) to play the game.

White Lie T-shirt Game

The White Lie Tee Game is a twist on a the viral White Lie Party where everyone writes their white lie on a t-shirt. This is a super fun teen ice breaker game and viral birthday party ideas for teenager parties!

*On the invitation, be sure to ask guests to wear a tank or swimsuit top under the their clothes as they will be switching shirts. That way you don’t have to set up a changing station.

For The White Lie Party Game You’ll Need:

  • Inexpensive white t-shirts
  • Pieces of cardboard (to insert inside shirt so marker doesn’t bleed to back)
  • Black Sharpie Markers
  • Table

Here’s How To Play The White Lie T-Shirt Game

  1. Have everyone write think of a short white lie that they tell. (For example, “Sorry, my phone died” when they don’t want to answer someone’s call.)
  2. Each person writes their white lie on a t-shirt (don’t let others see!) and then places the t-shirt in a pile.
  3. Each person then picks a t-shirt and puts it on. They must then figure out which guest at the party wrote the white lie by asking only yes or no questions. (You can’t ask, “Is this your t-shirt” or “Did you write this?” or “Is this your life?” etc.) For example, if you the white lie on your shirt is sorry my phone died you could ask questions like, “Do you hate going out?” or “Do you sometimes ignore your friends?” etc. DON’T HAVE PEOPLE REVEAL WHAT THEIR WHITE LIE IS YET!
  4. Set a time limit (like 20 minutes). When time is up, everyone has to guess who the white lie on their t-shirt belongs to. You can even give away prizes to those who guess correctly!

It’s a fun Minute To Win It Game for teens and tweens (or even family challenges on family game night)!

  • Table
  • Straws (make sure they’re sturdy straws)
