I had my 6yr old son invite 3 friends. I sent out invitations that I made from stamps and colored with my sons help. The outside was a campfire and tent.  Each boy was told to wear a fishing hat and bring a back pack.  I set up a tent in the back yard, a small campfire and a "fishing pond". We first played a game I called river rescue.  (There is no winner in the game) The object of the game is to get all of your stuff over the river without falling in or dropping anything in the "river" I got some river rocks (you can use blocks) and set them in the yard. I put there fishing rods canteen and flashlights on one side and the party was on the other.  Then we had hotdogs roasted on the campfire.  With chips and pretzels and cake and ice-cream.  After we ate we played a fishing game.  I made fishing rods from dowel rods, and fish out of paper. There were 5 fish for each boy.  The boys had to use the magnate on the end of the string on the fishing rod to "catch" a fish in the pond. The game is simple and doesn't take much time, but we played several times. When it got to be dusk we went on a flashlight hike in the yard. Then a little flashlight tag.  The boys played in the tent and had a really good time.  now my 7yr old daughter wants to just have a party. Her birthday is a long was off.
