  1. I would get a volleyball net for the pool.  For sure.  Those always are really fun.  Also, you can do a heated game of Marco Polo.

    The sleep over you could set up a "manicure station" for each girl, as those nail kits are super cheap and really fun.  They could do each other's nails.  Put temporary tattoo's from the dollar store on each other.  You could get a Ouiga Board and have them summon spirits.  There are so many fun activities to be had.

    Hope her party is a blast!!


  2. At the swiming party have beach balls and maybe some rafts and let the kids hang out in the pool. Have snacks like chips, cand and soda/water. Thats what I would want. For the sleep over be supplied with stuff you daughter likes. When I have sleepovers I don't plan them I just hang with my firend and we do whatever. Hope this helps.

  3. for the sleepover keep them entertained and give them food so they will busy and maybe rent a couple new movies that just came out and for the pool party Give them games like who can Swim underwater the longest or play chicken if your pool is deep.

  4. well if guys are staying over, i'd buy them protection just incase...i remember my 13 year old bday party  lol

  5. yea hav lots of food rent stuff or buy stuff for both actions

  6. Maybe after the swimming kids have left..take your daughter and her friend down to video ezy or blockbuster etc and get them to choose a few movies to watch..buy a tub of icecream etc and they can just hang out and watch some movies.

  7. The person with the first awnser thats eww what u think she is going to have it at the age of 12

    and back to your question......

    A movie night would be a good idea, just get all your friends together and rent some of your favorite movies. Teen girls can almost always find a way to entertain themselves but just to be sure make sure you have a lot of games you can play. Things like the chocolate game, pass the passel, kiddy game's are always good for a laugh.

    Them party's are good because that give's you something else to do as well, if every ones dressed up you can have a cat walk comp. with a prize for the best dressed, that'll get every one into the theme! As for what the theme should be just chose something you like.

    i just had my party and i planned it to be.....

    Play soccer,handbal,tennis thingie and trampoline comp.

    Then play pass the pasle.

    Then have a dancing comp & singing comp.

    Then listen to music while getting a pamper session and make over.

    Then go to my rumbus room watch dvds and have a slumber party.

    it didnt work out as planned we just did everything it didnt need planning so dont worry but i can give you some more ideas.

    You could have a movie theme.You just need to find out what movie or movies that the girls want to watch and then decorate the house in the theme of the movie. If there is some food in the movie, get that food. Also, girls love the hair, makeup, nails and all that nonsense. Maybe hire someone to come in and help with all that girl stuff. Let them go crazy with grown up, big girl hair styles and makeup.

    Have a dance! Crank the music, and move all the furnature! Let your girlfriends dance around then have a slumber party when you guys get tired!

    Make it a sleep over all the girls can come in there pajama's and watch movies do makeovers u know the whole nine yards

    How about a girls night out?

    Make-over/Pamper session

    With Candles for dim light... facials, then make-up and get all dressed up then take photos for an at home 'modelling' shoot then collage the photos and display them in your room. It will look totally awesome and yeah its pretty within many peoples price range.

    camping.. out in the back yard i did it for my sisters party

    pool party! they're always fun. if u don't have a pool, u could have a disco at ur house

    Bowling

    a casino night is always super fun!give out fake chips and have an auction to bid for small prizes with the fake money youve won!end it off with a disco from the 80's or another time!

    karoke superstar night-come dressed as a superstar and play karaoke and other games.end it off with a fashion show with their pictures in a small photo album as goodie bags!

    or have a barbeque!they are great fun and you could have a water fight and make smores!

    Borrow a big tent, buy alot of fizzy drinks, water balloons, sweets. Push them outside and let them get on with it!

    dancing party she'll love it!!! , tell stories & Play hide and seek or play computer or play bed games like pillow fights...

    Just let them do want they want if they want to go in the pool they will just get them snacks and drinks just play it by year

    Hope thats was helpfull i hope your daughter has fun at her party.

  8. for the pool make up games or play the penny game.

    1. get a bucket of pennies.

    2. divide girls into 2 teams.

    3. on 3 have them go and get as many pennies as possible.

    Sleepover.

    set out a little area in the living room.

    have her friend and her make a crazy chex mix using rasins chcolate chips,m&ms and chex mix(of course)

  9. Chuckey CHESSES

  10. what do she like to do email me and help you out

  11. For the swim part let them kind of "own" it--meaning provide them with some cute little snacks and drinks and let them swim,they know how. Dont say its time for this and time for this. Also, if the friend your daughter is letting sleeping over is a close friend you should have no worries. You could go to the store like target and get mini spa masks and stickers for their nails and show them an area where they can do pedicures-- have your daughter come with you to rent a couple of girly movies.  Don't Worry-- She and her buds are girls--we know how to have a good time!! :)

  12. activities

  13. let them do there own thing, and just pop in everyonce in a while during the sleepover.

  14. have lots of nice finger food

    play music

    have some games (like a pinata and things like that)

    for the sleep over, since its only one, get some dvd's and theyll be fine

  15. You could rent some movies. Mabe even get a beach site looking birthday cake and yes pads.

  16. i would recommend to give them their own space but also have things for them to do. for the pool party part you can get some pool games like a volleyball net or basketball hoop. there are also many other pool games that you can get if she is not into sports. for the sleepover part you should take your daughter and her friend out to rent movies.

  17. If the first guy was right, then the protection should be a "Rent-A-Croc" that will clear the pool quickly.

    If its an in-ground pool, tug of war across the water

    Can you set up a horizontal ladder across the pool? then have 2 walk from either side armed with noodles or plastic bags with balloons (pillows would be too heavy and hard when wet)

    Have your video camera around. tell the kids their parents wanted to see what was going on at the party (that will help them behave)

    Snacks near the pool should be Jelly Beans and the like, not cake and sandwiches - or your pool water will look like a stew.

    And a portable potty may help stop accidents - with so many kids, you want the water to stay good.

    Boys there too (like little brothers)? They'll like to join in this. Everyone gets a ribbon on a hair clip, and they have to stop it getting wet. A soggy ribbon puts you out of the game. Use water pistols, splashes, cups, ect to run around the yard and attack each other

  18. eww the first answer is gross

    Buy lots of streamers that are her favorate colours sleepover have a black light and white streamers

  19. Swimming

    Marko polo, get a blow up ball and throw it arounf(volley ball), ring toss(go underwater and collect rings) you can hand out prizes for whoever can hold their breath the longest.

    Sleepover

    Pillow fight, scary movie, popcorn, scary stories, play hide and seek in the dark.
