10yo birthday party ideas needed

There's usually take-out pizza and VHS/DVD movie & popcorn involved. With a mixed-sex, mixed-age group, I'm not up for a sleepover. Besides, he's still at a stage where he wants to invite lots of kids rather than a smaller number of "best friends" which I would insist upon for a sleepover. He's coming up with a few ideas of activities he'd like to do, so we're just going to do whatever mishmash of activities he manages to come up with Anyone have a suggestion for an egg-drop like activity that doesn't actually involve breaking a bunch of eggs? We did an egg drop at a prior year's "science" party, and he would like to do one again, but I hate wasting food, and we never did find a use for all those cracked eggs before we had to just throw them out. --Robyn |

Our boys have loved treasure hunts of various kinds. Takes a little work by the parents, though. We usually hide clues around the yard One variation of a treasure hunt is to hide lots of letters: kids have to find them all, and work out what they spell. (At our last party, for 7yos, the letters spelt 'party'.) You can print them onto card, from a computer. -- Penny Gaines UK mum to three |

I'll weigh in to say that I had a local pizza parlor do a make-your-own party for my son's 10 y/o birthday party, and it was a big hit even with boys a couple of years older. This is what we are doing for my DD 7th birthday party next month. At first she wanted a Chuck E Cheese party, but when I found out that a local pizza place has a make-your-own deal for kids birthdays, she decided that the pizza would be lots more fun. And I like it too (quieter, plus the pizza place only charges $3. per child vs. $11.99 a CEC). |

Our school participates in the Science Olympiad and has a big 6th grade learning fair each year where everyone does some of the activities. One favorite is "mystery architecture" where you give groups of 2-3 kids a bag with straws, string, tape, some index cards, and they have to make the tallest tower that will hold a tennis ball at the top. Another is a balloon race, I've forgotten the exact rules, but you have helium balloons and you tie weight to the strings, the goal is to have your balloon reach the ceiling in the slowest time. You could do an "egg lift" instead of an "egg drop"--make something for the balloons to carry the eggs aloft. Thanks, those are cool ideas! Just what I was looking for. --Robyn |

Unfortunately, both of those two events (Mystery Arch and Balloon Race) are gone this year. I really liked both of them. -- www.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone... Anywhere.
