Good party ideas for a 9 year old Fear Factor birthday party?

Question

My son will be 9 in February, and he wants to have a Fear Factor Party. I want to get some input as so what kinda gross and nasty stuff we can do. It has to be inside because we live in WI and its seriously freezing here in February. I would like to do some physical challenges along with the gross food kind. Any ideas would be very appreciated!

Answer 1

Body Part Ice Cubes:

12 cups cold water
2 to 3 drops green food coloring
Special Equipment:
1 roll packing tape
1 roll plastic wrap
2 plastic gloves
1 plastic Halloween face mask

Color the cold water with enough green food coloring to make it stand out against the background of the punch.

Use packing tape to seal of the eyes, nose and mouth openings of the mask. Line the inside of mask with plastic wrap to prevent leaking. Place it in a bowl that will hold the mask as still as possible while freezing. Fill with the colored water up to the line of the mask, making sure not to spill over if possible. Place bowl in freezer to solidify, at least 24 hours.

Fill 2 food service gloves with colored water and twist and knot opening closed to make a tight seal. Freeze gloves for 12 to 24 hours.

When frozen, cut plastic gloves off. Take ice out of mask, putting hot water on the outside of the mask, if necessary, to help it come out easily.

Carefully float the face and hands in the punch

"Over and Under." The teams can be lined up as for the button snap game. The first player in each team is handed a bean bag or ball?even a potato will do. When the signal is given he passes this object over his head to the second in line who passes it between his knees to the third who hands it over his head to the fourth.

The object goes alternately overhead and between knees to the last one in line who then runs to the head of the line and starts it back over his head. The game proceeds until the line is back in its original order with the first player at its head. The line finishing first, of course, wins the race.


Bounce," which can be played with a rubber or tennis ball. Place a waste basket on a chair some distance from the wall. Mark a line about six feet back from the chair on which the player stands. The game is to bounce the ball on the floor so that it goes into the basket. Each one has three trials, as this is not as easy to do as it seems. A point is given for every basket made. After a given length of time points are counted to determine the winner.

Spooky Surprise Box
You Need:

- box (medium size)
- paint, paper, glitter and other decorating materials
- warm grapes, wet spaghetti, sticks, jello, plastic spiders, bugs,etc.

Cut a hole in side of box about 2-3" and another 4-5" on the opposite end. Decorate the box any way you wish. One person stands at the larger hole opening exchanging "suprises" while players take turns putting their hand in the smaller opening. As they go along the person working the box says things like, "these are skeleton bones" (sticks), "eyeballs" (warm grapes), " brains" (wet spaghetti), "guts" (jello warmed to room temperature), spiders or bugs (plastic spiders or bugs) . Make sure to have plenty of papertowels on hand if using jello. Also be sure that the bowls you use to put things in the box fit before starting the game.


Muffin Ramp Game

You Need:

-muffin tin
-cardboard
-4" wide tape
- ping pong balls
or other small balls

Cut the cardboard to the width of the muffin tin. Beware of too thin cardboard that will tend to bend. Tape all along the edge to provide a smooth joint. Place small pieces of candy or toys in each muffin cup. Players take turns rolling balls up the ramp trying to get their ball in the hole to win the prizes.

Bobbing for Donuts Game
You Need:
-string
-donuts with holes (powdered or plain work best)

Gently tie a string onto the donut. Hang the donut by the string. Players then take turns holding their hands behind their backs while trying to bite the hanging donut. Each player gets his or her own donut.
Add variety--try blindfolding players first.

Fear Factor Party Ideas

Answer 3

Well some of these might not be gross but it is fun in a fear factor jr. kind of way.

Buy a whole box of lemons and have a competition (this could be the first round) to see how many lemons a kid can eat in two (or so) minutes. The winner gets a prize.

Get yourself some cheap packages of velcro tabs and apply them to some type of flag (can be made out of cardboard and decorated for the occasion). If the party is at the park, set the flags up around the playground and the chilld who collects the most flags in the time limit wins a prize. Make sure only one child goes at a time and, for added difficulty to the task, make a rule stating that the child must run back to the starting point to return each flag and they can only be holding one flag at a time.

There are other things you can do, like use the dreaded broccoli, but i don't want to take up too much space.

I hope I could be of help to you.

Answer 5

My friend did this a few years ago and the one game that stuck in my head was "finding the olives in the worms". Boil a bunch of spaghetti noodles and toss them with oil so they are nice and slimy. Put some olives (only two or three) in the bottom of a large bowl and cover them with the noodle and make the kids fish for them with their faces - no hands - and spit them into another bowl. The kids to fish out the most olives in, say, 1 minute wins. It was a greasy mess (make them wear old shirts!) but the kids loved it. My friend did it in her garage.

Years ago I led a teen youth group event in the spring. We got huge school cafeteria style cans of chocolate pudding, crumbled up chocolate cookies for texture and stirred in dozens of gummy worms.

It was a relay race for 2 teams and we lined them up far enough away that they couldn't see perfectly when I demonstrated the eating of some wormish shape being pulled from what looked like a big bowl of mud.

We also had each participant wear a plastic glove for hygenic reason.

from far enough back it looks so gross we had kids refuse to play. It was awesome

Answer 7

you can have fun without being gross... buy some cheap plastic covers or plastic table clothes and lay on your floor under your kitchen table.. we had a party kinda like what your thinking.. maybe you can change some of our ideas a bit to help you...
I put a piece of bubble gum in a pie plate and covered it with whip cream, tied kids hands behind there backs and first one to get through the whip cream find the gum and blow a bubble was the winner. I put alarge pile of socks in the middle of the room gave them a miniute to put on as many socks as they could.
I took some of those Gushers fruit things, and some rice chex cereal and covered them in chocolate told them they were bugs. and had them eat them. They crunched and squirted. kids loved it. And fried eggs with fake blood and eye balls. I live on a farm so we had a greased pig scramble. You can always make them eat spinich or liver that would be enough to gross me out.

Answer 10

My daughter just had a fear factor pep rally for her school...

candy buried in jello
They had candy buried in spaghetti...
candy worms buried in broken up oreo's (to look like dirt)

Physical challenge

two children are bound together...the other one on the team has to go and dig out the key that is buried in pudding / whip cream or something like that...go over and unlock the other two...those two then run over and one sits on a skate board and the other navigates them in and out of cones on the floor...(instead of skateboards, you could do wheelbarrow walking / leap frog ...or something like that to get to the finish line...

Answer 11

Mud cake, it looks like dirt and put gummy worms in it, or even plastic insects. Good luck. My aunt used to make it all the time and she put it in a flower pot with a flower! It was delious and cute. But you could change it into something gross, but edible!
