Eating and drinking is always popular.

Little children's party games can sometimes be adapted to suit an older audience (even adults). 13 year olds can be very self conscious and some party games exploit that for greater fun.

Pass the parcel with forfeits is a great game. Have something that is desirable for a 13 year old in the middle (be guided by the 13 year old you know).

As you wrap each layer put in a pre written sheet of paper with something like:

* Sit on someone's lap who is wearing glasses, look them in the eyes and say "Do you know how cute you are?"

* Say the alphabet backwards * Whistle the national anthem without smiling. * Name the members of (insert modern pop group here) You can think up other forfeits. You can also put in group forfeits like

* Get the group to sing along to (insert pop group that you have a CD of and play one popular track) * Get everyone to saw and hammer at the same time (Explain that you need to move your left hand backwards and forwards as if you are sawing while make your right hand go up and down as if it is using a hammer - this is very difficult) Add some of your own thoughts for group forfeits. You can also put sweets/candies in the various layers as a small treat. You don't have to have a forfeit on every layer.

Have someone in charge of the music. Pass the parcel while the music plays. When the music stops the person with the parcel has to unwrap the next layer and carry out the forfeit.

Play "Do you love me honey?"

This works well with single sex and mixed sex groups.

Randomly mix the players but have them in a circle.

Write the following on a big sheet of card or paper.

"Do you love me honey?"

On another sheet have

"I sure do love you honey, but I just can't smile"

Explain to the players that the only rules are these:

1 When speaking to the person next to them they have to look them in the eye

2 They have to say the words as they appear on the cards

3 They must not smile or laugh.

The first person has to turn to the person next to them and say "Do you love me honey?"

The second person has to reply "I sure do love you honey, but I just can't smile."

The second person then has to turn to the next person and say " Do you love me Honey?" and so on round the circle

As you may imagine rule 3 tends to be broken by everyone. Also the group will build up a sense of expectation as they can see that two particular people are going to have to say this to each other. (I once did it with a school staff group and everyone was waiting for the school caretaker to say it to the head teacher. The rest of the staff were on the floor laughing before the words were out.)
