13 year old barbecue birthday party ideas

[twiglet59]

Me and dh stupidly agreed to let dd have a party and as we have spent a lot on her present we cannot afford to spend a lot on a party. Which is why we came up with the idea of a barbecue. There are going to be six altogether. Any ideas please!

Treasure hunt in the garden or home made piñata?

Water balloon fight? Nerf/water guns? Things like frisbee, boules, volleyball. Tie-dye t-shirts, paint a canvas for the birthday girl's room (everyone could do handprints), limbo, s'mores, friendship bracelets.

The Spanish thing you hit. Stupid accents don't work on the mobile site!!

DD had an outdoor BBQ party when she was 15 , ( I know !!!!! ) there were 6 of them , lots of soft drinks, crisps , strawberries and chocolate .. then as we are lucky and have a bit of a field out the back , we made a waterside with a couple of ground sheets , a never ending supply of watering cans and some fairy liquid .
They had a wonderful time ( and played like girls , lots of shrieking and belly dives in their bikinis )

Thanks everyone great ideas. I was thinking a fire would be good too.

My ds is having a BBQ & sleepover. We've got a firepit so will be toasting marshmallows after the BBQ. We're going to get water balloons for a big water fight, play twister, one of those water sheets you slide along on your tummy sounds good fun too!

I've never done or played a piñata but that sounds good fun so will look into that!
