I need birthday party ideas.

I need some Game Ideas for a 14th glow in the dark birthday party. Birthday party in about 3 weeks.?

• I am planning on having a glow in the dark themed birthday party, I am turning fourteen. I have invited nine girls and three boys (I may invite a couple more friends). I get the whole upstairs (which is three rooms and a tiny hallway), the back and front yard, and the pool. P.s: The backyard is pretty big but the pool isn't very deep. About four to five feet deep the pool is. I need some game ideas that I can play inside and outside, and the games need to be cool and fun, they must entertain the people I am inviting. Please I need game ideas that can be played in the dark! Please any game ideas will help Thanks :)

  OK, there's always the famous Halloween-type party, in which you put various food items (it somehow usually ends up being food, anyway!) in bowls, have people go through in the dark and stick their hands in, and guess by the feel of it what it is. You don't necessarily tell them it's food -- you play it up and let them think there could be ANYTHING in those bowls. Of course, cooked spaghetti feels like worms, kiwis feel like weird little bald mice, etc. I'm afraid my memory isn't pulling up too many examples, but you should be able to find ideas on this online. And the hall might be a good place to play this one, to keep people going in a line. Or wherever you play it, I suggest putting down plenty of plastic sheeting. You KNOW most of this stuff is going to get flung about. A glow-in-the-dark scavenger hunt. Whatever you put in the hunt, put a dab of phosphorescent paint on each (check at a hobby store for paint like this). Glow in the dark face/body paint. Let people paint themselves while wearing their bathing suits. Yeah, plenty of plastic sheeting! Check out storytelling games -- there's bound to be some kind of creepy-dark-horror-story game you can play/take turns in. Provide prizes for these things! I like your glow in the dark idea...good one! Have fun!
