Truth Or Dare Questions For Teenagers
Before we list down the questions for you, here is a quick summary of what the game is about (if you haven’t played it before).
Kids sit in a circle and take turns. In parties, they usually spin a bottle and whoever the top of the bottle points at has to choose: truth or dare. If the person chooses truth, they have to answer a question asked by one of the other players with honesty. If they choose dare, they have to do something silly, embarrassing, or funny as directed by the others.
Here is a list of truth and dare questions for teenagers along with the description of the dare that he has to take up if he chooses to. We have listed out the ‘Truth’ and the ‘Dare’ questions separately so that you can combine any two questions from each category.
Time For Some Truth?
Well, teens are notorious for omitting the truth for their convenience. More often than not, they avoid the truth to prevent themselves from embarrassment or looking silly. Truth or Dare for teens is a fun game to get them to admit things that they wouldn’t otherwise admit. The idea is not to humiliate them – just find a fun way to make some confessions.
