For my child's 14th birthday party I decided to throw a Survivor birthday party. He is really into the show, so I knew he would like it. In fact, you don't have to know about the show to love this party. You can send any kind of invitation you feel is necessary for this party. As the guests arrive, give them a specified place to sit and talk until everyone arrives. When everyone arrives, bring them to the basement (if you don't have a basement then use a kitchen). Make it look kind of like a jungle, if not that then just go outside your home. They will have to eat a series of foods (creepy crawlers, gummy worms, (ANYTHING YOU WANT)! If you have an even number of guests then have them face off two at a time eating something and whoever eats it the fastest advances. The other is now apart of the "jury", responsible for voting off players in future rounds. If you have an odd number of children, then just automatically make the birthday boy/girl advance. Or do anything else that pops into your head. However by the end, half of the guests should be on the jury. The jury votes out one person. That person joins the jury. You then continue with game, vote, game, vote, etc... Do that until you only have one left. The winner can be awarded with anything you feel is appropriate! Experiment with this one, because it worked for my 14 year old, AND MY 7 YEAR OLD! A fun party for all ages.
