Help! Any good Year 7 birthday ideas?

[jamrollyolly]

Hi my daughter is starting Year 7 next month and is also having her (12th) birthday. Any cool ideas for senior school birthday activities? It would be just a few friends (6/8) and she's not into pamper parties.

Thanks!

Friends round for Dominoes Pizza & a DVD?

Bowling?

Climbing?

Money to go to a café after school?

Thanks teen, she likes the idea of bowling!

Is it people she knows from primary or a new group?

I think it will be some from primary and maybe a couple of new friends ( she's hoping)!

I just let dd and 3 of her friends loose at Bluewater with 20 quid each and they were happy as Larry. Did a sleep over afterwards.

DD had a LUSH party - more like science/potion making than pampering. Very fun. You'll need a clothespeg for your nose though.

Climbing wall, skateboarding session?

She's been bowling and pizza eating a couple of times and loved it.

Ooh Lush sounds great but there isn't one near us.

She's a bit scared of heights!

I've given oldest dd & her friends money to shop as well. They all seemed to enjoy it, worked together on 3 for 2s and multibuys to stretch the spends. I parked myself in Costa with a book and made sure they knew I'd be there if there was any problems but they were all totally fine. Came home for pizza, cake & a sleepover

My dd had her birthday at the start of year seven. It's hard being first and it's a totally different ball game as you don't know the kids.

Dd had hers at clip and climb. I told her she could ask three people (so we could all fit in the car) and she brought them home straight after school. I ignored them and made pizza and put it on the table then they ate that while I was upstairs and then I took them to clip and climb for the last session the evening.
