Ideas for a mature 12 year olds birthday party...?

Question

My friends and I are pretty mature. I usually just have a bonfire and pizza/cake. Its nothing big. We play football and basketball etc. I'm pretty much one of the guys so yes I can have boys. I was thinking about having a scavenger hunt at like Target and after that go to dinner. Good idea? Got any better ones??

Answer 1

I wouldn't do the scavenger hunt at Target... you will probably get kicked out.  Good idea, bad location.  What about a scavenger hunt at a park or in a specific neighborhood?  

If you did it at a park, you could have a little cookout at the end of the hunt... or load up and go to a favorite restaurant.

Answer 2

You can do some things at home, you can set up a volleyball net and play volleyball and badmitten and being you like sports, there are plenty of things you can do!

You can get an inflatable kiddie pool, fill it with water, break into 2 teams, have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!

Have relay races!  Potato sack races, three legged races, the wheel barrel races where one person stands and holds the other person's ankles and you race to the finish line.

You can have a pie eating contest, but instead of pie, fill the pie tins with whipped cream and whoever finishes first, wins!

Set up an ice cream bar, get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and some toppings.  Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and cherries, and have everyone make their own sundaes.  You can go to the dollar store and get those tall plastic sundae glasses or get the waffle cone bowls at the grocery store.

Have a bbq and serve hamburgers and hot dogs with some toppings and french fries.  Or if you like pizza do that, or if you like tacos, do a taco bar.  It's your Birthday and your party, have the food that YOU like and that's YOUR favorite!!

You can even do team sports, break into teams and play soccer, kickball, baseball, basektball, etc.

If you have a Dave and Buster's nearby, go there for the afternoon and hang out, play games and do dinner or lunch there.

You can go to a park and do a picnic lunch.  Pack up the food you like, again, whatever is your favorite, bring a cooler with drinks, a frisbee, some music, and games, bring a blanket to spread out on, and go there and hang out, eat, play, and have fun!

I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party and a very Happy Birthday!

how about paint ball? is there an age restriction for this? the arenas often let you rent equipment and charge for groups and parties.

rollerskating.

Answer 5

ha, mature 12 yr old.  you little rascal you.  amusement parks are always fun.   or some restaurant with games and stuff.

Answer 6

don't do it at Target...plan one for around your neighborhood. wander your neighbor hood and make a list of stuff you see like

swing set

in ground pool (may have to be sneaky and peek into people's backyards!)

red car

huge pine tree

6627 address # or whatever

man with a mustache

woman in heels

kid on a bike

spider web

Chinese restaurant

stuff like that around your neighbor hood.

split people up into teams of two (maybe boy girl teams) and make sure to tell them to bring a digital camera for proof they found the items- then first back to the house with the finished list gets a special prize.

Answer 7

LOl.. sounds fun to me before they kick you out..

Good Luck
