Thinking along lines of 10-15 boys, not at home (have small house and garden), something 'a bit different'. As cheap as poss!!!
have ruled out laser gaming, swimming, football, ringo rides, ice skating as these have already been done by school friends.
Any ideas appreciated.

Ten pin bowling?

MavisEnderby · 07/05/2011 20:41

umm.paintball??was gonna suggest laser quest as ds 7 loved it for 7 birthday.

Do you have a garden and a big tent?Maybe you could let a few of his mates have a sleepover and midnight feast in a tent??Fairly cheap and any food detritus will be outdoors not inside!!

Cinema - only any good if there is a film out they all want to see.

Have you got an outdoor adventure type place near you? The sort that does tunneling, abseiling, wall climbing, etc. My boys love that sort of thing.

Paintballing

Shame you have ruled out laser quest as that is always extremely popular too.

Does it have to be an organised thing? DD is having her party in the local park next week. There are a lot of large structures there, and miles of space. We are going to organise rounders, skipping and swingball, then have a BBQ. Could you do similar and get the boys to barbeque their own food?

When DS was 8/9 he went to a boys birthday party which was outdoors in a wood. The parents did an army like theme, telling the boys they were a UN peacekeeping force and they did fitness and training exercises and team games and ended up having tea/drink in those white painted metal army mugs, on which their surnames had been painted, which they brought home as well as a cap in camouflage colours.
DS thought it was awesome. We thought the parents (who wore camouflage gear) were awesome.

Den building in local wood using stuff you find there (would need to take it down afterwards I suppose, which would be a bit of a pain), trip to restaurant (you can get some very good prices for groups of children) and could maybe follow with trip to cinema or a non-stuffy museum, swimming?

Do you need to have such a big party? Most in our school have cut down to a handful of friends by year 4/5.
