Y could be Fireworks. In Chinese 焰火 is Fireworks, pronounced Yan Huo.
For the Rice Ball thing, I think it's 湯圓 pronounced Tang Yuan. It's in a water base though, if that's what you were talking about. Who knows, my Mandarin isn't that good either, my Cantonese is a bit better.

Banned has something to do with Fireworks. And I might have to show this to 2-5 year olds so it'll might be easier if I had the english counterpart.

湯圓 Tang Yuan is the sesame stuff you put in your red bean soup.

Y - Year cake (nian gao)

Isn't 'yuan zi' an alternative way to say 'tang yuan' though? Like... 'plane' instead of 'airplane' or 'phone' instead of 'telephone'... kinda.

No, it's not.

I don't think there's a difference. Some words are interchangeable. Eg. Happy, elated, delighted, etc.
Answer in bold.
