  A young woman's 16th birthday is a momentous occasion, and a special party thrown in her honor is often the most important part of this milestone. Engaging a group of young adults for the duration of a party can be challenging, but there are many fun games that contain just enough sophistication to entertain teenage partygoers. Most of these games require minimal preparation and generally center around themes that interest young people, such as celebrities.
  
  

Celebrity Guessing Game

• This fun game lets partygoers show how much they know about popular celebrities. To begin, each player must write down the name of a celebrity on a piece of paper. As suggested by sweet-16-party-ideas.com, the pieces of paper should be collected in a bucket or box without being shown to any of the other guests. The guests divide into two teams, and one person from each team is chosen to select a celebrity's name from the bucket. The timer is set, and once the countdown begins, team members must try to figure out the name of each team's celebrity using only "yes" or "no" questions. The first team to correctly guess the name of its celebrity before the timer runs out receives a point. The team with the most points once all of the pieces of paper have been used is the winner.
  
  

Balloon Truth or Dare

• This twist on the classic game of Truth or Dare is easy to play and fun enough to entertain a group of teenagers. To start, take 10 index cards and cut them in half, as suggested by Party Game Central. On half of the cards write down a truth, and on the other half write down a dare. Fold the card in half again so that it cannot be read. Place one card inside a balloon, and once every balloon holds an index card, blow the balloons up. Begin the game by having the birthday girl choose a balloon. She must pop the balloon and then either answer the question inside or perform the dare. This continues until every balloon has been popped and each question has been answered or dare has been done.
  
  

The Match Game

• This game is a perfect way to break the ice and encourage partygoers to get to know each other. Prior to the party, make a list of famous couples. As suggested by Easy-Party-Ideas-and-Games.com, some examples may include Anthony and Cleopatra or Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. For a fun twist, humorous couples such as Bert and Ernie or Barbie and Ken can also be included. Write the name of one half of the celebrity couple on one name tag, and write the name of the other half of the couple on a separate name tag. Each guest arriving at the party receives one name tag and is instructed not to reveal the name on it to anyone else. Guests then must socialize with other partygoers and attempt to find their celebrity match. Only "yes" or "no" questions can be asked while trying to uncover information. Once a "celebrity couple" finds each other, the two guests then put on their name tags.
