My daughter chose to have a Fear Factor Party for her 9th birthday and we will be  having it this Saturday.  Although there are great idea's posted here, I also got some great ideas from someone I bought Fear Factor Party gift bags from.  These are wonderful and we'll be doing all of them as well as some others.  FEAR FACTOR PARTY PLANS INVITATIONS: USE A GREETING CARD PROGRAM SUCH AS PRINT WORKSHOP. I DID A  BIFOLD CARD ON THE FRONT THE FEAR FACTOR LOGO WAS PRINTED ON IT.  THE INSIDE OF THE CARD READ IF FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR FOR YOU THEN COME TO EVYíS 8TH BIRTHDAY  PARTY! THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PAGE DO THE TYPICAL DATE, TIME, PLACE, RSVP. THEN FOR A REALLY CUTE TOUCH I FOUND LITTLE TINY  PLASTIC ANTS KIND OF LIKE CONFETTI BUT PLASTIC..THEY CAME IN BAGS AT BIG LOTS. MAYBE YOU CAN FIND THEM AT A PARTY SUPPLY STORE. WE  STUCK SOME IN EACH CARD SO WHEN THEY OPENED IT THE ANTS FELL OUT! THE KIDS LOVED IT!! CAKE: FOR THE CAKE WE ORDERED A PLAIN WHITE 1/2 SHEET CAKE. WE ORDERED OURS FROM COSTCO...IF YOU HAVE A COSTCO THEY ARE GREAT CAKES  $14.99 JUST ASK THEM TO DO IT PLAIN NO WRITING OR DECORATION. YOU  COULD MAKE YOUR OWN ALSO. PRINT OUT THE FEAR FACTOR LOGO AND TAKE IT IN TO A GROCERY STORE THAT HAS A BAKERY...WE WENT TO STATER BROTHERS. HAVE THEM MAKE AN EDIBLE IMAGE FOR YOU TO PLACE ON YOUR CAKE. THE COST FOR THOSE  ARE ABOUT $7.00. GET PLASTIC BUGS TO DECORATE AROUND THE LOGO. (SUCH AS ROACHES,ANTS,SPIDERS) I FOUND MINE AT A LOCAL CAKE SUPPLY STORE. $0.20 EACH.?  DECORATIONS: FOR DECORATIONS WE USED BLACK AND YELLOW EVERYTHING. TABLE  COVERS, BALLOONS, PLATES, NAPKINS. WE THREW PLASTIC SPIDERS ON ALL THE TABLES AND TIED THE BALLOONS WITH RIBBONS TO RUBBER RATS TO MAKE CENTERPIECES. IF YOU CANT FIND THE RATS YOU COULD ALSO USE BIG RUBBER BUGS THEY HAVE THOSE AT TOY STORES. STUNTS: HAVE I LONG TABLE SET UP FOR THE STUNTS. GET A BLACK SHEET OR SOMETHING TO COVER THE STUNTS LIKE THEY DO ON THE SHOW. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO USE ALL THE STUNTS LISTED IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY KIDS  YOU HAVE AND HOW MUCH TIME YOU HAVE FOR THE PARTY. #1~ EAT A BUG CHALLENGE THEY HAVE ONE MINUTE TO EAT A BUG SWALLOW IT AND SHOW THEIR  TOUNGE. (I BOUGHT CHOCOLATE COVERED BUGS FROM  WWW.CANDYWAREHOUSE.COM EACH BOX HAD 2 WORMS,1 COCKROACH,1  CRICKET.)I WASNíT SURE ABOUT USING THIS ONE BUT EVERY KID ATE A BUG  THEY SAID THEY TASTED GOOD! #2 HANDCUFF CHALLENGE THIS ONE THE KIDS WILL HANDCUFFED FROM THE FRONT AND TIMED ON HOW FAST THEY CAN GET THEY KEY OUT OF A BOWL OF HUGE EARTHWORMS AND  UNLOCK THEMSELVES. (YOU CAN ORDER THE WORMS FROM A PET STORE.  #3 POPSICLE TOES CHALLENGE BUY 3 ROUND PLASTIC TUBS (I FOUND OURS AT WALMART FOR $3.00 EACH)  FILL WITH ICE AND COLD WATER HALF WAY. HAVE THE KIDS TAKE SOCKS AND SHOES OFF AND ROLL UP THERE PANTS. THEY HAVE TO SEE WHO CAN STAND IN THE ICE WATER THE LONGEST BEFORE JUMPING OUT! WE HAD  THREE TO MAKE THIS ONE GO FASTER YOU CAN USE ONE IF YOU HAVE LESS KIDS.  #4 CRICKET CHALLENGE FILL AN AQUARIUM OR OTHER CLEAR CONTAINER WITH CRICKETS YOU DONT NEED TO MUCH.. ADD PLASTIC SPIDERS IN TANK. THE KIDS HAVE ONE MINUTE ON A TIMER TO SEE HOW MANY PLASTIC SPIDERS THE CAN REACH IN AND GRAB! THIS ONE IS FUN! YOU NEED TO USE PLASTIC WRAP OR SOMETHING TO COVER TANK AND LEAVE A HOLE FOR THEIR ARM BECAUSE THE CRICKETS CLIMB AND JUMP! (YOU CAN ORDER THE CRICKETS AT A PET STORE ALSO THEY ARE FEEDER CRICKETS) I THINK WE BOUGHT 250 FOR $12.00.  #5 SHAKE CHALLENGE OK THIS ONE WAS THE KIDS FAVORITE!! BUY 6 CLEAR CONTAINERS OR  JARS.(WE WENT TO THE 99CENT STORE AND FOUND REALLY COOL PLASTIC ONES THEY WERE KIND OF TALL BUT ANYTHING WILL WORK) FILL EACH ONE  WITH SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEN FILL WITH WATER AND SOME USE  FOOD COLORING IT MAKES IT LOOK REALLY COOL!! HERES WHAT WE USED.... 1. CHICKEN FEET (2) YELLOW FOOD COLORING 2. PIG FEET (2) NO COLORING 3. WORMS (NO WATER) 4. CRICKETS (NO WATER) 5. OCTOPUS (YOU CAN BUY FROM A MEXICAN MARKET THEY ARE IN THE MEAT SECTION BEHIND THE COUNTER $2.00)BLUE FOOD COLORING 6. 3 EGGS (USE A MARKER AND COLOR DOTS ON THEM)RED FOOD COLORING  SAY THEY ARE OSTRICH EGGS IN THE WATER THEY LOOK MAGNIFIED AND  REALLY LOOK NEAT! HAVE THE JARS ALL LINED UP LET THE KIDS LOOK AT THEM AND TELL THEM WHAT EACH ONE IS HAVE THE JARS NUMBERED ON THE TABLE. USE A DICE  LET THEM ROLL THREE TIMES AND WHATEVER THERE 3íS ARE THAT WILL BE  THE SHAKE MIXTURE THAT THEY ARE DRINKING! USE DIXIE CUPS AND BLEND BANNANAS, MILK, CHOCOLATE SPRINKLES, AND CHEERIOS TOGETHER FILL UP THE DIXIE CUPS. TO MAKE THEM LOOK  DIFFERENT LEAVE SOME PLAIN, ADD FOOD COLORING TO OTHERS. HAVE THIS  READY FOR THE KIDS AND PLACE BEHIND EACH JAR. THEY WILL HAVE TO DRINK THIS IN 30 SECONDS AND SHOW THEIR TOUNGE! WE HAD KIDS REALLY GAGGING AND SOME WERE HOLDING THERE NOSES WHILE THEY DRANK IT WAS REALLY FUNNY! WE TOLD ALL THE KIDS WHAT THEY REALLY DRANK AFTER ALL THE KIDS WERE FINISHED!  #6 BLOW A BUBBLE CHALLENGE THIS ONE THE KIDS HAVE TO WITHOUT USING THEIR HANDS GO INTO A HUGE  BOWL OF SPAGETTI NOODLES THAT HAVE EYEBALL GUMBALLS MIXED IN IT ...FIND A GUMBALL CHEW IT AND BLOW A BUBBLE. THEY ARE TIMED TO SEE WHO DOES THIS THE FASTEST. YOU COULD DO THREE BOWLS AT ONE TIME  SO THIS ONE WILL GO FASTER.   I MADE SURE AT THE END OF THE STUNTS EVERYONE GOT A PRIZE! THE ONES THAT WON THE CHALLENGES GOT TO PICK THEIR PRIZE FIRST. AT WWW.WALMART.COM THEY HAVE FEAR FACTOR MAD LIBS BOOKS. THOSE  ARE $2.99 THAT WOULD BE A GREAT PRIZE FOR THE TOP WINNERS! ALSO WE WENT TO WWW.NBC.COM AND ORDERED MY SON AND MY HUSBAND  (HE WAS THE ONE DOING THE STUNTS) A FEAR FACTOR T-SHIRT TO WEAR  DURING THE PARTY IT ADDED A NICE TOUCH! WE DIDNT DO FOOD, ONLY CHIPS OUT ON THE TABLES AND CAKE AND ICE CREAM BECAUSE THE KIDS WERE SO BUSY THERE WAS NO TIME FOR FOOD.
