Party help?

Question

im having an end of the school year party for about 60 7th and 8th graders. i have decided to have the party at my house and we have plenty of room and about an acre of land. we are planning on having a bonfire but im not sure what else to plan. i dont want everyone just sitting around because thats no fun! i have been to plenty of parties like that and i ended up leaving...so if you have any fun ideas please share! :) also decorating and invitation ideas

thankyou!

Answer 1

more information:  what state do you live in?  you could rent a dunk tank or 2 and have parents man them, and do a beach themed party with limbo, music, dj, have people pitch in 10 bucks each kid, do a raffle for some prizes, have baseball, water balloons, relay races, oh the fun you can have!!

Answer 2

you should have a survivor theme  with tiki torches & lots of activities to "survive"   have teams of two, and each team has a different colored headband that they can do whatever with

ideas like building shelter or throwing manmade spears at a target...also you could have things to try while blind folded...sauage, cheese, whipped cream, gummy worms, etc.

they recieve points by doing certain tasks, and the team with the most at the end gets a little tiki god....

this was a big sucess when i tired it for my 8th b-day party!!

the kids enjoyed it & had a wonderful time

Answer 3

with that many people you dont have to worry about everyone just sitting around.  Just play music, serve food and drinks and it iwill be great!

Answer 4

for 60 kids you better make sure no ones allergic to any foods or is vegetarian or anything. try not to go too over board on the decorations (keep in mind they're 7th & 8th graders, not little kids). music is important at least for awhile play sum music and let them have fun, just watch em so the dont start getting dirty lol.

you guys could play sharades at the fire which would be alot of fun wheni was in 6th grade i played that all the time in free time we laughed alot. you could have kareoke if you can that would be fun too. raosting marshmellows yummmmmmy! you could play spin the bottle but instead of kissing they would have to slow dance. idk what else you would like to do i hope it turns out great!
