Got a teenage party to organize? Well scroll this way......

I have put together a few teenage parties over the past few years and although daunting at first, it is much easier than you think.

Themes can be great but can also be a disaster if you get it wrong. Choose your teen party theme wisely and it will really give you something to focus on and give a bit of oomph to a teenage party.

I have put together a few themes below plus there are stacks of themes and games submitted by other visitors.

Whether you are organizing a teen party for yourself or someone else, scroll on down below for some easy peasy but fun ideas.

Top Tip.....Let your teenager make the '4-W' decisions: What, Where, When, Whom.
However set guidelines and budgets relevant to your family situation.

PLUS:
Top Tip.....Don't make it a surprise party unless your teen wants you to – teenagers like to be involved in case mum or dad does something embarrassing. Image is important.

Teen Party Ideas

ball Teen Party Activity Days

If you want to get the teenagers out the house and don't mind the expense, why not send them on a Teen Party Activity Day. Some of these are just brilliant fun. Think thrills!!

Activity Days (UK) are great for all teenagers and they are a fantastic way of keeping them amused and saving you having to organize it all. It is just a question of your turning up and everything will be planned out for you.


ball Scavenger Hunt Party

Next to a treasure hunt, this is one of my top favorites for a teen party idea. In fact it suits any age, young and old plus mixed age groups, so you really can't go wrong. Forget having to think how to organize it, how to lay it out, how to score and so on as this downloadable Scavenger Hunt Party Planner could be exactly what you need.

Trust me as I have used Nikki Wilson's Treasure Hunt planner (she designs these games for a living) and she has created an excellent product.

Another one which is also worth checking out is this Riddle Me Treasure and Scavenger Hunt Software


ball Treasure Hunt Teen Party

Treasure Hunts are one of my favorite party ideas as it can be adapted for all ages from young kids to adults. Work in teams and have the kids running round the neighborhood to search for clues.

For my son's last birthday we used this very easy to use Treasure Hunt Planner which comes packaged in a downloadable Treasure Trove along with stacks more other party plans. Trust me they are brilliant - this kit will last for years and for all age groups.

ball Murder Mystery

These are great for teen parties as they suit both boys and girls and give that element of 'excitement and drama' which teenagers often love.

How about Death By Chocolate!! (amazon.co.uk) or the very popular How to Host a Teen Mystery: Barbecue with the Vampire(amazon.com)



ball Out to Dinner Teen Party

The kids all dress up and you could start the evening with cocktails at your house. Check out these great drinks recipe books.

Book two tables in the restaurant – one for the teenagers and one for you. It's much more fun for them (and you) to let them have their own space. And you could give your teenager a budget so he/she is in charge of the bill.

Top Tip..... Make plenty of food. Boys especially, eat a tremendous amount at this age.



ball Medieval Madness theme party

An improvisation/role-playing party, the teenagers each have a part and a basic understanding of the other characters and countries when they arrive in their costumes. Acting and interacting to achieve the objectives they've been given, a surprise murder occurs during the party (you need an adult male to play this shortened part), and then a medieval trial by ballot. Amazingly enough- they'll all work toward being judged the guilty one! For middle school aged kids. Everything is included in your party package.

Down-loadable Medieval Madness Party Package for ages 11-13 years


ball Sleepover Teen Party

Not a new idea but always popular especially with the girls. Rent a couple of DVD's and get in lots of snacks, drinks and treats and get something special for breakfast (more like brunch!). Arrange for younger siblings to stay with a friend or have their own friend for the night so they don't feel left out or get in the way. Make the teen party invitations to look like sleeping bags and insert a picture of the party host. Buy some packs of disposable cameras so the kids can have fun taking photos of each other. We did this for my daughter's last birthday and it was a great success.

Top Tip..... Relax the rules for a change so that the day feels special. Make it a teen party to remember.


ball Sports Match Teen Party

Most teens are into one sport or another and if they're not, maybe this is a good time to get them interested. Find a park, hire out a pitch at the local sports center, bring a picnic and drinks (lots) and have a match. It could be football, cricket, rounders, baseball or whatever the teenagers are interested in.

Top Tip..... Teenagers are often embarrassed by their parents and sometimes even more so if you try to be like one of them. So, keep your distance at the party but be available in case they need you.


For Fun....

Want to know your teenager's birth stone?

Did you know…..Teenagers are being kept awake by their bodies. The darkness hormone 'melatonin', helps us to fall asleep. Most adults start to produce melatonin at around 10pm but in teenagers it is around 1am. Hence they stay up late watching TV or playing computer games. This however may have a negative effect as the bright lights stimulate the teenager's brain, which inhibits the release of melatonin. Sleep is crucial for teenagers as they release a growth hormone whilst sleeping. They need more sleep than both children and adults, but often they get less than either.
