What is a good idea for an 11 year old's birthday party?

Answer 1

I am 12 so this should be easy :) (for a 11 year old girl)

I didn't do anything for my birthday but i have been researching ideas and what i wanted to do was invite a reasonable amount of friends ( this depends on how many the parents allow) and have a slumber party, you could: do makeovers, hair ,nails, makeup etc.

you can tell stories of the funniest thing that's ever happened to you, weirdest, etc.

you can watch movies. Tips: make sure you have ALOT of: food such as chips, popcorn, a good one is veggie trays, etc.

and they want to be comfy so have allot of : blankets, pillows, stuffy, etc.

and if you have a games station like, psp, wii, x box, you could play that and have tournament's.

Now those are all ideas, if you want a theme you could do: their favourite band and have music playing, favourite show like twilight Harry Potter, favourite colour (you can get decorations at dollar store local party supplies stores).

you could dress up as celebrates, movie character's, and band members, then its sorta like charades you have to guess who they are with little clues.

you can go to the mall and have a scaventure hunt .First you make up teams and each team has a grown up or a supervisor, they each a have a reusable camera, and they must take a pic of the item or wearing the item, and who ever gets back first will get a prize.

Some good idea for prizes are the you give the winners say 10-15 $ and the every one else 5-7$ and you go to a dollarama and they get to pictures out stuff like a boa under 3$ or a pair of funky glasses under3$ and stuff like that when every one is done (you can pick a timed amount of minutes so your not there for hours) they can keep the stuff and when you get back whoever has the funniest costume is the princess of jokers (you can get them or make them a tiara)

when it is late you can play a game called hide and go boo.

how to play: you shut all the lights of so there is no light each person gets a glow stick, and they hide.

The person who is it has to walk around trying to find people.

The people who are hiding also have the job of trying to jump out and scare the finder. if they scare them then they are it and everyone re-hides and so on.

This is only what i would do if it were a 2 night sleepover or a 1 night and they stay till late, you pick whats best for you, and how much you give them for money is also up to you, and one last thing for parents or guardians, make sure to take LOADS AND LOADS of pictures because in a few years your 11 year old can be looking back on all the fun they had.

hope this helps, and if you want more information or ideas for girls or boys 11-13 then e-mail me at : lalalablahblahblah@hotmail.ca

have a great time !!!!!!!!

Your 'tween has a birthday and you have a dilemma. Your child has totally outgrown Barney and My Little Pony. But a teen co-ed party doesn't sound right either. So how do you plan a party for this spunky young age group? It can be easier than you think. This article provides some helpful general suggestions and some specific birthday party ideas for 'tweens. Sit down with your birthday boy or girl and get planning!

Be considerate of who is invited. Know your kid's friends and steer clear of known trouble makers. Although a highly structured party can feel stiff, a general schedule of activities and time can keep things from getting too wild. You'll want to keep any potential "loose cannons" from having time to get themselves in trouble. Getting everyone engaged in something fun and interesting will keep it positive.

Food and utensils do not have to be fancy to be enjoyed. Have something simple like take-out or Hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. Take some stress off yourself by either picking up some treats at the grocery store or making a cake from a box at home. Better yet, have your party-goers make the treats themselves.

A "group bake" can add some anticipation for the final result. Who cares if you have cake at 10pm, or with lumps, or with bare patches in the frosting? It's all in good fun and the kids will enjoy eating something they create.

Give them something they can take home besides a bag of candy. This could be something they created at the party, pictures you took of them printed from your computer before they go home, or a memento of their activity (scorecard, team roster, "ticket," winner's certificate, etc).

Here are some other ideas to run with when you have your next 'tween birthday party.

Slumber party with movie marathon - Carefully consider your movie choices. The kids may be a bit past "kiddie" movies, but many 'tweens are still below the PG-13 range. Also, just because it says PG-13 doesn't mean all 13 year olds would be ready for the content in those movies. There are several websites that rate movies based on content and theme. Pick a couple of approved favorites, pop some popcorn, and casually check in now and then.

Traditional scavenger hunt - The scavenger hunt is a good team activity that you can do with as few as four kids with two teams. Send them around your neighborhood or have a couple adults drive if necessary.

Mall scavenger hunt - Be sure you go to a mall that you and the kids are familiar with. Most items can be inexpensive or even free depending on your list. Free items could include old hangers, a coupon book, a business card, etc. Create a theme based on color, holes or "dings" in the merchandise, items from certain stores, etc.

Party around an activity - Go to a place that offers a sporting activity like the following: batting cages, climbing walls, indoor laser tag, miniature Golf, pool, Bowling, roller skating, go-karts. Some of these activities can be found in groups at family activity centers, others might be independent locations. Visit ones you think you'd consider before purchasing tickets or a party package.

Step one... if you think it's a good idea, it's likely not. Ask some of his or her friends about parties they had been to recently and really liked. Aim for a higher age than they are. If you think it's a 'cute' idea, you're son will be embarrassed. Avoid 'theme' parties. Even if it's a good theme, they will be bored of it in no time. Be flexible and let your kid make some of the decisions so they feel like it's their party.

Happily 11 birthday celebration!!!!!!

Entering into 11 feels like a very overwhelming phase for every kid. It is a mix of eagerness and nervousness but along with that, they unlock newer opportunities. To celebrate such an occasion, it’s important to embrace their individuality. The 11th birthday party should have all the elements that appreciate their uniqueness.

Involve them in the decision making to understand what kind of party do they want — a big one, small group or few individuals. If it's a surprise party then take suggestions from their friends or understand their interests.
