13th birthday party ideas: easy, cheap & great fun for the kids

Birthday Party Games Lady™ - for Kids

NOT JUST BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS- COMPLETE KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY GAMES PACKAGES

The 13th Birthday Party- it's a tough one to figure without making yourself crazy or spending a fortune:

They think they're SO grown up.
Yet they want the birthday party they've always had as a child.
Any 13th birthday party ideas that are even remotely 'childlike' will be rejected out of hand.
Perhaps it's the first mixed gender party (= the jitters)
What can you possibly do to keep all those 13 year olds appropriately entertained and engaged?

The best of all 13th birthday party ideas is a
Role-Playing Murder Mystery party

Announcing the 13th Birthday Party Solution

Parties for young teens run into trouble when these still developing personalities use any get-together, including your birthday party, to impress others and improve their social standing, often resulting in behaviors you would rather avoid.

Allow these young teens to 'become' someone else for your party, and all that social posturing is directed into the game.

Give them a mental challenge combined with a structured opportunity to compete with the other actors to advance the plot, and your group of 13 year olds will be fully engaged in the action.

Turn that 13th birthday party into a Medieval Intrigue

Anything "medieval' seems to fascinate this age group, and the whole party concept of a Murder Mystery Party is acceptably 'grown-up'.

Each guest get's to try on a new persona and be someone else as they role play and interact (perfect for first mixed group parties).

The kids engage their minds and their creativity to make things happen. And, they can dress-up for their roles without it feeling inappropriate

The Medieval Madness Party Package from the Birthday Party Games Lady has it all

Kings and Queens, Princes and Princesses, Generals, Prime Ministers, Revolutionaries-

all kinds of interesting personalities for your 13 year old kids to create and become.

The plot is age appropriate yet multi-layered

providing multiple trading, scheming and plotting opportunities.

This is NOT a scripted party, but rather a 'loose' stucture

allowing all their wonderful creativity and imagination plenty of room to shape the action.

Truly a "Print & Go" party- you print, they go

and you'll have wonderful time watching them go at it

(Medieval Madness is suitable for 13 year old girl birthday parties and for mixed gender groups, but NOT for all boys.)

And Medieval Madness gets RAVE REVIEWS from parents and kids alike:

"It was a fabulous party. When the kids left I heard them saying things like 'Why can't we have cool birthday parties like that" to the parents. We had the party at the end of mid-winter recess and my son reports that when they went back to school, when asked about the best thing they did over the break, the kids who attended said going to my son's birthday party! That caused him some consternation when those that weren't invited heard about it, but that should be our worst problem."
- from Beth in St. Louis

Like all Birthday Party Games Lady party packages, Medieval Madness is simple and inexpensive to host.

It's definately NOT the same old or "been there, done that"'. By streching their minds and their interactive skills, your acknowledgement of their maturity is appreciated.

You may not have thought an adult-like muder mystery was a good idea for kids, but it's a terrific solution to the 13 year old birthday party problem. The chance to be somebody else for a few hours is a great thing for this age group, results in a wonderful time for all involved and is a unique and special celebration that's easy to pull off. All for under $50.

See the details of the Medieval Madness party,
and you'll be on your way to having a hugely successful 13th birthday party.

NOTE: While you will see that the recommended age for the Medieval Madness party is from 11 to 13, don't think it's 'too young' for your 13 year olds. There's an abundance of plot and character information given to the kids to work with: younger ones use less of it and take it all less far. 13 year olds are capable of more, use more of the info provided, and take it all to a deeper level.

"[The] Party was held last weekend and it was a wonderful time for all involved. It was made very easy by the website, could have never put such details together. Very well thought out and easy to follow as the party progressed. They could have gone on all night. It was for my grandsons 13th birthday..."
-Ellie fom Texas

" Thank you so much for putting together this party material. Our party was fantastic!!!! I have always felt discouraged when throwing a party because I never felt that I provided a good time to all. Not to mention the amount of work and stress preparing. This party was totally different. I felt like I threw a great party for my daughter and I know based on what I saw that everyone had a great time. The girls really got into it. A few mothers played some parts and my husband gave the best death scene I have ever seen. The girls where really surprised. Occasionally we would hear him moan from the grave when his name was mentioned. The girls would laugh and laugh. My daughter came home from school the next day telling me that everyone was raving. I even got phone calls from parents telling me how much fun their daughters had. All in all it was the best party I have ever thrown. I would recommend it to anyone!" -from Kathryn in Ann Arbor
