Party games for 10 year old boys

Hi,

My nephew is having a few friends round for tea on his birthday, I thought I'd do a few games for him but I'm not sure what is acceptable for 10 year old boys - will they play pass the parcel? They all like football so I was going to do a quiz and a spot the ball type pin the tail on the donkey (if that makes sense lol).

Here's a couple of Excel football quizzes

My son is 10 and definitely wouldn't want to do pass the parcel or pin the tail on the donkey. If you can get outside I'd stick to more sports-oriented games, or if you can get your hands on some Nerf guns, target competitions can be fun.
I hope this isn't being completely unhelpful!

Would it be possible to do a treasure hunt for them.

Firstly - wow you are brave! 10 year old boys dont particularly play games - certainly they are unlikely to admit to it. think pass the parcel is a no-no. quiz sounds good as does treasure hunt. other one older ones like at parties is toilet roll game. economy (of course) loo roll and put them in teams. winners are first to cover their victim, or the best looking mummy at the end of 2 minutes. messy but good fun

We did some silly food games when my boy was that age - how many baked beans can you eat with a cocktail stick in two minutes, the one with the chocolate balanced on a pile of flour, and something that I can't remember the details of with blue spaggheti, I think that might have been a race as well
