Birthdays for tween girls can be tough. They are past princess parties, but yet, too young for rock concerts. So what's the right fit for celebrating the early double digits? I have a few tips for tween girls' birthday parties.
Babysitters Club - Whether they have signed up for the babysitting course, or starting out on their babysitting career, "babysitting" can be an easy theme for a tween girl party.
• Have each girl bring a doll and then you can:
• Play "baby scavenger hunt" finding baby items around the yard or house
• Play "what's in the diaper" blindfolding kids and putting their hands in cups of pudding and cream of corn.
• Play "baby obstacle course" balancing an egg & spoon in one hand and doll in other have them run an obstacle course without dropping baby nor egg.
(NOTE: The Babysitters Club movie is an obvious choice for movie watching but when I looked up the trailer on YouTube, I found there was a sub-plot romance of a 13 year old girl and 17 year old boy. )
I just threw a "babysitters club" party for my tween this past weekend and it was a hit.
Other tween girl themes include:
Nancy Drew Girl Detective - a whole party of who/what/how sleuthing.
• Come up with a mystery to be solved. Scavenger Hunt. Clues. Roadblocks and surprises make up for a fun party.
Halloween not in October - have the kids dress in costume in May (or February).
• Play all the regular "Halloween" type games you play, but out of season. Do a haunted house. Play creepy music.
