Up until you said that I was sure I did - boys' is the possessive plural form of boy, i.e., boys' games (games that "belong" to boys). Girls is simply plural, i.e., more than one girl.

If, however, there was a mistake there, please let me know ASAP although, to quote Seinfeld, "not that there's anything wrong with that."
