Teenage birthday party ideas

Today I am very excited to share some awesome birthday party ideas for teens. I always love to share something about teens because they are probably in an age bar where everything is just awesome, fun, exciting and interesting. So it is the same for me to write about them.

Anyways before heading over to the list, I want to tell you why I am so excited about it. Actually yesterday I was recollecting my teenage days memories and specifically my birthday parties which my parents use to arrange for me.

I thought to share some of the pictures with you, but to be frank I am looking horrible, LOL. Then I thought sharing only the list of some teen birthday party ideas would be a nice option.

If you are planning a surprise birthday party for your teenage son, daughter, someone who is a teen, then you must first understand what a teen is all about. It so important to understand what they like, to plan an awesome party for them.

Teens are young, dreamy, exciting and fun so they would love to have a party which serves their psychology. I think you will agree with me about this. So to plan a perfect party you must first take a while to think what do they love to see most in the party.

Although I am here to tell you a lot of ideas, but I would still like to encourage you to give it a time to think about it.

10 Teenage birthday party ideas

So here we go, now I am going to share every possible idea I found to be the best. Here I am going to share only some ideas that I think you must try. Have a look, I am sure you will love this list.

1. I am a celebrity, But who am i?

For this game, you need equal no. of paper chits to the no. of guests who are playing. For each chit, write down a celebrity name. Now to start the game stick each chit on each guest’s who are playing.

After everyone is done, now the game begins. Everyone can see others chit but not their own. So here the fun is to help each one to know which celebrity they are. It is to be done by acting and portraying the celebrity style, acting or some movie scene. In this way everyone can know who they are.

To make it fun you can bring it to the next level to have more fun. You can arrange for the costume of all the celebrities you have written.

So after when the game is done there will be a surprise for them and the surprise is to let each one wear the costume of the celebrity they are. They have to be in the dress for the whole party. I am sure they will also love to be get clicked also on those costumes.

It is an interesting game which needs to be played in an open area or a big place. The game can be played in many ways, one I would like to tell you.

Divide the guest into two groups competing against each other. Now every team will get some clue hidden at a different place they are to be searched one by one to reach the destination where the treasure is hidden.

It is so much excitement to find clues one after the other. This is mostly liked game by the kids and teenagers. So I think this would be the good option. You can also go for the scavenger hunt, read how christy is explaining the game.

The video game is a bingo option for a teenage fun. I think it could be listed for the party planning.

The idea is to rent an XBOX or PlayStation for a day, if you don’t have at home. Ask the guest which games they would like to play, by calling up each guest on phone.

These games should be in a way that they can fight or compete with each other, i.e- football, racing, fighting games,etc..  Arrange the game for the teen party and let them enjoy.

9. Beach party theme

If you are a teen yourself and looking after ideas for birthday parties in summer or may be searching for someone else also, then here is a good idea. Why not to give a nice suitable theme to the party which is “beach theme”.

You can arrange it in a pool side with a set like a beach. If you can get permission from the beach authorities for the party then that could be great.

10. A small cook-off competition

Food has always been the favorite of all ages be it a child or an old person, the taste buds are always in an active mode. So when you are planning for your teenage child’s birthday party or even giving and sharing ideas with them, involve food in it.

No not only arranging food for the party but in a way it should be a fun game. So the best way would be to arrange for a small cook-off competition where the children would not only be involved in cooking their own food for the party but would also win few exciting prizes on the best dish prepared.

But do keep a plan B and arrange the party food as if not much fun is availed from the game then the children would not have enough food to enjoy.

Without doubt although these types of plans may seem a bit risky yet they are fun for today’s generation who love to take challenges. And surely the cooks off challenge would turn out to be a 100% hit with the teenage group.
