BFor my 11th birthday, I decided to do a survivor party. INVITATION The invitations were little palm trees my mom found at our local craft store, but they were colorless. So I colored it like a regular palm tree and my mom found sand paper in the basement and we glued it to the palm tree, and then we printed out the words, like place time, for who, etc. DECORATIONS We found lots of plastic wooden planks with poles at the craft store, and you can write on it with chalk, so that was great. So we got like 60 planks. We got on plank and wrote on it Niki's International Airport and we put on our front door. Then, we put wooden planks all around the house saying the directions, like follow this, or turn right. then you would end up in the basement. So when the party started, I invited like 15-20 people, and also lots of relatives. My friends followed the wooden planks and we waited for everyone to come, so we just talked until everyone came. ACTIVITIES Then we gave everyone a little luggage bag and we have a room in our basement where one door leads to the basement and on door leads to the backyard. But if you don't have a room like that, you can just go upstairs into another room. It was decorated just like an airplane! My dad and uncle built seats like in an airplane, and we moved the LCD plasma screen from our media room to that room. Then we also got leftover planks, and took the poles off and painted them white then smoothed the edges, to make them little tables. then 2 of my mom's friends were flight attendants, so they wore those outfits. Also, my dad found pictures of the ocean and pasted those pictues on the windows. So it was like a real airplane! So my friends and I were in the airplane" and my dad put a tape of Figi like that was where we were going on the TV. The flight attendants also passed out pretzels and orange juice just like in a real plane. We were having so much fun when the flight attendant said that the ship was having technical difficulties and rushed to the control room. (basement) Then my dad recorded an explosion. There was this huge crash(the explosion) and the flight attendants said the plane had crashed on an undiscovered island which mt dad covered the backyard in sand Now it was time for the party! We headed outside and my mom and my dad divided us into 2 teams one tribe called "Fabulous' and one tribe called "Rockstar" but you can make it any names. GAMES The fist game was called "the Hunt for Food" where my mom and dad hid coconuts and we had to try to find more than the other tribe. The next game was called " Waterfall Plunge" where each team gets in a line and there was this huge bucket and they all had scattered pieces of cardboard and one rubber fish.The person up first would be blindfolded and the team members who wouldn't blindfolded would have to say " go left to find the fish" of "Go right to find the fish" then when the person found the fish the next person would have to find the fish of course it was in a different location. The next game was called "Survive in you Shelter" and the 2 teams had to put up a tent as fast as they can and decorate the tent with twigs flowers cotton and cloth. The team who did it best wins! PARTY SNACKS Pretzels chips Pirate's Booty Cheetos Doritos. CAKE AND FAVORS My mom made a palm tree cake that was really shaped like a palm tree and my mom and I bought icing  all colors and when you got a piece of cake you decorate your piece of cake. For favorsmy mom and I bought little gas that said "SURVIVE THE HEAT" Inside was a palm tree eraser a monkey mechanical pencil a puzzle which formed a banana and some candies. Overall my party was a huge success and it was really fun. Hope this helps you make your own party!"
