The Survivor Theme
[ advertisement ]
The popular reality television series has lately also been adapted into a party theme for teenagers. Kids dress up in survivor like outfits and take part in various challenges and competitions. For instance some kids will be given the task of building tent of the material supplied to them, and later test it for sturdiness. The opposing tribe of kids will be responsible for taking down the tents by throwing buckets of water on them to simulate a tropical storm. Order kids can be put to the task of building a relay system to fill bottled water etc. the idea here is to get kids involved in solving various real life challenges like those faced on the television show.
You can also plan a scavenger hunt. You can hide useful items and tools in various locations, including food and other necessities. People really love the survivor theme especially if you decorate for it in a special way. You can hang grass skirts, and Hawaiian leis etc to give the place a more tropical look. Also serve a number of tropical dishes to fit in with the theme. Great dishes for this theme include mangos, chicken with rice and pine apples etc. don t forget to add a few tiny umbrellas to the drinks you serve at the party. Arranging such a theme is also not difficult it just requires a bit of imagination.
The golden oldies
Teens of all ages love to dress up and have fun so better way than to host a golden oldies party for them. The time can either be the 40 s 50 s or the 60 s and every one can be dressed in costumes that reflect those eras. You can even have kids dressed up as Victorians for a really old golden oldie special birthday party theme. However the good thing about the 50s and the 60s themes is it s easy to find music of these eras. People mostly go for music of the great king Elvis Presley or you can also choose Frank Sinatra however the later didn t sing party songs. If you are looking for something funkier you can have a 1960 s party. Go ahead and purchase the Woodstock soundtrack that will fill your party with amusing music. Have kids dressed in bell bottoms and tie and die T shirts, girls can be dressed in mini skirts and probably also an afro wig and large glasses. Couple that with bangles and head scarves and that will complete the look. If you don t know what to wear just pickup an old movie and you should get enough ideas.
