Never Have I Ever for Kids: 100+ Funny Questions 😄

April 17, 2025 Kids playing the Never Have I Ever game

Who said "Never Have I Ever" is just for grown-ups? Not us! This super simple game is also awesome for livening up a birthday party, a rainy afternoon, or just some family time with the little ones. It's a super cool way to discover their secret little adventures (often adorable!) and, most importantly, trigger some memorable giggle fits.

No more complicated or awkward questions – here we're talking about hidden candy, drawing on walls (oops!), and tickle fights. You'll see, even the shyest kids get into it and love sharing (or acting out!) their little misdeeds.

Get the juice boxes ready, put on your biggest smiles, and maybe have a little stash of candy for "forfeits." Let's get this 100% fun time started!

The rules? Even simpler than for big kids!

Honestly, it's child's play (literally!). If you want the "full story" version of the game, check out our super complete guide to "Never Have I Ever", but for kids, here's how it goes:

An adult (or older kid) reads a "Never have I ever..." sentence from our awesome list.
All the kids who have already done that thing raise their hand, show a finger, or make a funny little sign (like sticking out their tongue!).
Those who have never done it... well, they do nothing, and they can giggle watching the others!
Move on to the next question!

Fun Tip: Instead of fingers, you can give each child 5 pieces of candy at the start. If they've done the action, they eat one piece! The first one with no candy left has... won the right to go get more? 😉

Little tips to keep everything running smoothly

Playing with kids is awesome, but keep this in mind:

Zero pressure: The goal is to have fun. If a child doesn't want to answer, that's totally okay! Move on with a smile.
No teasing: Welcome all answers (especially the confessed mischief!) with kindness and humor. No judging!
Adapt to the age: If some questions seem too tricky or not right for the youngest ones, feel free to rephrase or skip them.
Keep it short: Kids' attention spans come and go. Don't necessarily try to get through the whole list at once. A few questions are often enough for lots of laughs.
Praise honesty: Congratulate them when they play fair and are honest; it encourages them!

Ready for an avalanche of giggles?

You now have everything you need to launch a kids' version of "Never Have I Ever" that they'll remember (at least until the next birthday party!). It's simple, funny, and helps create precious shared moments.

Alright, let the game and the laughter begin! Have fun! 🎉
