Today is my daughter's 16th birthday party, and we have a huge bounce house coming (her idea), but the party is 5 hours long (5pm till 11pm). We just realized we are going to have 30 to 50 kids here, and have not planned anything to do except the bounce house, and music and food. Please , we need help with fun games, and ideas of activities we can do for 16 year olds, that we can put together at the last minute. THanks in advance

Put them into teams and have them do a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood. Let the neighbors know about the party (they should already but be sure). Dance contest would be fun too. Kareoke is always fun, and you can pick up a cheap machine at Target, Best Buy or K-Mart for about $50, along with cd's of the current pop music. Also, if you live in a state that allows it, I always shoot fireworks off at the end of my daughter's birthday.

Yikes! Maybe rent some movies to keep some entertained if there going to be allowed inside. Games are corny, but if the prizes are worthwhile, the kids will participate and have fun. McDonald gift certificates are inexpensive...teens always like to eat. When my kids were little, I would wrap a prize in many different leftover pieces of wrapping paper...like ten times. I would play the music as they passed the present in a big circle.. When the music stopped, the person holding the present got to take one layer of the paper off. When the person took the last layer of paper off, they got to keep the prize. My kids and their friends LOVED that game until they were well into their teens (to my surprise). Of course the gifts went from childrens toys to cds. I usually had three of these to keep the game going for awhile. Good luck today.

How about a scavenger hunt (depending on how well you know the neighbors) I've done that in the past even when my kids were a little smaller. I just gave them a range of the neighborhood - they had a blast! Depending on what you put on your list, it could use up a good hour.
