Birthday Party Themes for Older Kids and Teens

Survivor Birthday Party Theme

By Denise Witmer, About.com

Based on the reality show, this theme is great for outdoor parties. If you have anything you want to add to our theme ideas, please email me .

  • Challenges abound with many games and obstacle courses. If you're outside, use sprinklers and hoses in your obstacle courses for more fun.
  • Have some gross food to serve, like some of those we have on our Halloween Recipes page.
  • Split your guests into two tribes, make them as even and fair as possible.
  • Use bamboo tikki torches for outside decorations and cut out palm trees both indoors and outdoors.
  • Use brown kraft paper or paper grocery bags to make tribe name banners.
  • Using blankets or shower curtains and bamboo, have a shelter building contest.
