Inventive older kids party games
Dec 9^th, 2010 at 5:58am

Ok, my daughter is a young teen and so i'm looking for inventive party games (for boys and girls) for her birthday party soon. I think she's getting a little old for pass the parcel so am looking at fun ways of making traditional party games 'cool', or just inventing new games all together.

So far, I have come up with a rather insulting game called pin the hair on the Bieber (Justin Bieber).. my daughter quietly adores this singer, though around her male-friends she likes to poke fun at him as he's deemed gay by most kids in her class (they are mostly boys I will just add) at her school.

So I thought the girls could try and pin the hair on the Bieber on one poster, and the boys could shoot sticky darts at his head I have drawn a target on with a dart gun on another...(not dangerous spiky darts, just sticky darts).... now all I have to do is persuade my daughter to part with a couple of her life size posters for the afternoon.

This wont be an easy task.

Any other suggestions for older kids birthday party games?

Ps, The Bieber hair piece I have here looks more like a dead beaver/rat...pmsl.. Grin

It's more or less the 'boofy' fringe part of his hair the girls will have to try and stick on his head.

Ok this maybe helpful
But you need to have two rooms and it helps with at least two assistants.
One room is where you hold the game and the other room is where all the others wait for their turn.

Anyway in the game room you have two sheets on top of each other. The top sheet has a dozen or so eggs laid out.
You tell the contestant that the objective of the game is for the contestant to be able to walk the sheet without crushing any eggs.
Sounds simple, but then the contestant is blindfolded.
And to add some difficulty, spin the contestant around a few times.
Or even dim the lights so they can't peek.

So whilst one asistant is spinning the contestant around, you then remove the eggs.
And then remove the top sheet.
Underneath you already have spread out corn flakes, or the like.

Then let the contestant try and walk the sheet.

Afterwards you have to tell them not to spoil the game for the others.

Aaarrgggh, we are having the party at my parents place...as their house is closer to my daughters school, and more convenient for drop-offs and pick-ups.

We were worried they may not want to drive all the way out where we live, which is only 30 mins away btw, but people are funny like that...especially urban mums.

Anyway....it sounds messy, my mother would go into spasms over this messy thoroughfare, sounds too adventurous for her tastes......*bugger* but it sounds like heaps of fun.

Perhaps we could do it under her carport...but even then, I think she would not approve I'm afraid.

LMFAO!

Well, perhaps you missed out on adolescence, this and are experiencing a belated mile-stone now...but one things for certain, I had excellent party games at my party's as a normal healthy teenager back then...though I will just add, they weren't as ...well, tame as my own children's birthday party's are today.

And for good reason!

We did some rather mischievous things...mostly out of western-suburbia boredom.

There was this mannequin we stole from Parramatta Rd, a car yard owned her before us. So we gave her some new clothes....and I christened her "Miss Adventure".

I have fond memories of her laying in the middle of Woodville Rd stopping trucks covered in tomato sauce on my 16th birthday... definitely a traffic stopper.

Cool

I don't know how or why, but I have been blessed with great kids who are nothing like how I was when growing up in the burbs.

I mean, our fun was innocent enough, compared to substance abusing others ...but still, there are times whereby I wonder what if...had something gone wrong... we all could have been killed.

Like the time we took a short-cut From old Guildford to Merrylands via the canals...just before heavy rain.

We saw the water...before the clouds.... the trouble with canals is that it could be flash flooding in another suburb, and you can be washed out in the canals miles away from where it's flash flooding. No fences back in those days. We walked on top of the pipeline to get to the local baths. Swimming pools.

I had a semi-in ground pool in my backyard...but ...

It was fun walking on the pipelines.

Police drove past...the water-board workers waved at us... noone cared back then.

Innocent times.

Lucky to be alive really.

And to think, we were the town Geeks... the better half of what fermented from our 'energetic' neighbourhood.

....Ok....bobbing apples it is then.

Great help you lot are...sighs..

Grin

Actually, It's all covered... 4 hours... 1 movie... 4 party games... and a tacky suburban slip'n'slide and mums spa..weather permitting.

I wonder what an old bromide spa and a bottle of morning fresh dish-washing detergent will yield.

Grin

I'll let you know on Sunday.

The chair and the pin.
it's a good game, no trick to it.

A wooden chair and a pin.
Someone sits normally on the chair and the pin is pushed into the wood on the chair somewhere.
The person has to extract the pin with their teeth and return to the sitting position.
Without nay part of them touching the ground.

Higher up is easier, lower down is harder.
Lower down on a rear leg is very harder.
Do the easy ones first.

Sprint, this sounds like a Sunday School activity...

How about Pin the policy on the Labor government *quack quack*.... each child could have a different policy the Labor party promised they would introduce after the election...

Look if it walks like a Rudd, ....

*Quack Quack*
...

Then it's a Dudd.

Um, no thanks Freediver, we might pass on the booze.

It's an afternoon party for young teens, so a cake, some party food, a slip'n'slide, party games, prizes, a movie and a dip in the magic spa will suffice. (magic because it's going to be transformed into a colourful bubble pond)....

I pondered taking them up to the wave pool, though thought better of it once 15 kids RSVP'd... as monitoring this many children, (some with disabilities) might prove a challenge amongst a sea of other peoples children at a swimming centre open to the public....so...

At least this way they are able to be supervised properly.

But thanks anyway, though there wont be any booze at this supervised kid friendly party.

Just because we share just one common interest, 'diving' don't think in your wildest dreams you're getting an invite to my daughters birthday party.

This said, if there's any endangered blue groper patties left over on the barby, I'll be sure to post them to you expressly.

Hey Miss, guess what!

We are going to play your egg game.

.... I gave my daughter list of about 10 and she chose 4 she really liked and yours was one of them.

Lol...we haven't told mum yet, but I think she'll get the gist of things when we arrive with a couple of dozen eggs.

Grin

.... I'll tell her they're hard boiled, and when they start running I'll say I mustn't have boiled them long enough.

Thanx

Anyway, I have just logged in quickly to run over the rules of play....so have to shoot off again soon.

Cheers.
