I am planning one for my 5 andsix year old which is a few days apart. I thought a Training Camp would be good but cant decide between Pirates or Superheros!
So examples for superheros would be
Invitations - Superhero Academy! Print them on a small triangular shape that you can attach to a lollipop to make it look like a cape. You can even cut out tiny paper masks with black paper and stick it to the "Head"
When they arrive they can choose their own mask and cape and belt. You can buy cheap secondhand material to make these, fasten with velcro.
There will be several tasks to complete.
* Such as Leaping tall buildings in a single bound: I would have little milk cartons and cereal boxes painted like buildings.
* Collect radioactive isotopes: They can crawl threw a darkened tent or tunnel with glowsticks scattered inside.
* Lava pit: Take a wide board and placed it over a small swimming pool. The board is held up with cinder blocks and then add a fog machine to add the element of atmosphere. The kids could walk across the board. Add red food coloring to the water to make it look like lava.
* Blasting Aliens!: Have cardboard aliens or balloon aliens they have to spray with silly string
* Strength training: Paint foam balls blackand mount one on either side of a broomstick to look like heavy weights! If you have it in front of a city backdrop, this would be a good photo op for parents!
There are so many you could make up. Once theyhave finished you can give them a Superhero Academy Certificate!!! The certificate can say all the tasks at the party. Decorations would look great with city scapes cut out and painted, with those captions that used to be on batman "kapow!" etc stuck everywhere. Maybe a phonebooth?
Pirate Academy would be similar but invitations would be like a treasure map with the edges burnt. Games similar but changed to piratey things. First give them a booty bag and when they finish each task they get something for their booty!
*Make a pirate hat! You can use templates printed off the internet.
*Swab the deck: Get some mops or brooms and they have to push a balloon through a coarse.
* Treasure hunt. You can buy cheap plastic beads and spray them gold. Or buy chocolate money.
*Walk the plank: have a plank raised where they have to walk across. Others can throw cannon balls, black balloons or painted foam ballsto knock them off.
*Pin the beard on the pirate!
Decorating, you can make an island in the corners with yellow or brown sheets or blankets. Cardboard painted like palm trees and some treasure chests. You can buy fishing nets cheap online to string across your roof, stick some plastic fish in them. Wine barrels are good. Paint a cheap foam drink cooler to look like treasure chests for all the drinks. Red and black balloons and streamers to finish it off! Gold painted beads and treasure for the tables looks great!

Good birthday party ideas for a 13 year old?

My daughter is turning thirteen and she doesn't want a "kiddy" party. Her idea was to take a few friends to KOA for the weekend but that's a little too pricy for my liking, and she's allergic to mosquitoes so camping isn't really ideal for her party.
She's already reached that "Mom, get out of my life! But first can you drive me and Cheryl to the mall?" stage in her life, and she's not into crafts and organized games and stuff. She just wants a place that's not childish where her and her friends can go and, as she says, "be stupid" without having parents "breathe down their necks". She doesn't want to stay at home though, because apparently home sleepovers are boring and overrated.
I'm thinking something that's under $100.00 for her plus two or three guests. Any ideas?

Depends on the time of year. Pool party at the community pool or YMCA if it's summer. My mom lives at an apartment complex where there is a pool and you can reserve the clubhouse for the day. If you know someone who lives in a place like this, ask if they can do that and you pay them back. If you can stay at home you can save a lot of money. Leave little activity tables out in the backyard with instructions (put packing tape over them so they don't get ruined) and then go off to your room and they can go to the things when they want (piñata, water balloons, relay races, movie inside, food station, "photo booth" you can manage that by having a camera and some props they can use as you take pictures that way you can supervise a bit, etc.). But that's only if it's summer. Now on to the colder months. Is there a jungle rapids or arcade near by? Go carts or putt-putt. Mall scavenger hunt (for if there are more girls) have a list of things and clues of where to find them, one person in the group HAS to have a cell phone. They can just take a picture or if it's super cheap provide money to buy it. They have to be back at a meeting place (food court usually works best) by a certain time. Indoor camping in your living room, pitch a real tent or they can make a blanket fort. A movie, bowling, fancy (but reasonably priced) dinner/lunch, etc. Just set up food, music, and decorations in your house or backyard and have a fire pit going, she can invite many friends over since it's cheaper. I hope this helps! Good luck!
