Desperate to have a party that they will love, but not quite sure what they’re looking for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your search is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are the best ways to celebrate a tween’s birthday in Sydney – just take your pick!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\tBirthday party ideas for twelve and thirteen year olds in Sydney\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\tAt-home parties\n\t<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With an at-home birthday party, there’s no artificial limit on the number of attendees, the settings are more intimate, and you can have a little more control over the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few party activities you can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is great fun for the kids, not that difficult to set up, and has a lot of decor and theme potential (for example, if you have a backyard, you can get some sand and sprinkle it over an area next to the pool to simulate the beach).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only wrinkle? If it rains, you’re stuffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t have a pool? That’s not a problem\u2026that’s an opportunity to buy an inflatable pool that you can keep even after the party is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add in some water guns, an inflatable slip and slide, pool noodles and doughnuts, and ice creams and you’re all set for a party your tweens will really enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\tMovie night\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Always exciting for the kids, stress-free (on your part), and a relatively inexpensive option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few ways to add to the excitement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
If possible, ask the guests to dress up as a movie character. For example, if they’ll be watching Marvel\/DC superhero movies, everyone can dress up as their fav superhero\/supervillain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
At the very least, have popcorn and fizzy drinks for snacks. You can also have burgers and hotdogs available.\n
\n
If you want to go the extra mile, hire a food counter\/station, to simulate a real movie theatre experience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
DIY is always a great theme at a teens’ party. Teaches them so many things about grown up life – from the importance of earning their keep to the joys of enjoying the fruit of their labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And what better thing to create at a birthday event than pizza, a known party favourite (acorss age groups)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Check with the guests’ parents about food choices and allergies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Decide on a few recipes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Prep and measure ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You’ll need:\n
\n
Pizza dough<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pizza toppings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Baking trays<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Rolling pins<\/li>\n\n\n\n
A cutter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
An oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Please keep in mind that this is one event you will have to keep an eye on, due to the use of cutters and the oven.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\tKaraoke event\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You’ll have to hire a karaoke machine for this one (obviously!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have lots of snacks and drinks at hand\u2026and ear plugs for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singing karaoke can improve the children’s self-confidence – as they’re challenged into singing openly, when they might not think they have a good singing voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\t\tHome disco\n\t<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You and your kids both like the disco – only your song lists would be very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, leave your tweens in charge of selecting the songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choose a reasonably large room (maybe the largest room in your house), clear away everything that you can, and install the glowing lights!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
