Throwing a party for teens is stressful, but it need not be. What teen wouldn't like to eat "tripe" or "tongue"? There is something about combining teenagers and things that are gross or daring that makes the idea of a Fear Factor party a huge success!
This type of party is so much fun not only to plan, but also compete in if you're feeling bold! First we'll talk about activities...
Got Bugs? McKandy.com has a huge selection of edible insects...
Is Fear a Factor? Head to your local butcher, though you may need to find one at a specialty market, and find some "tasty treats" enjoyed around the world: tongue, tripe, sweetbread (it is NOT as good as it sounds!), brains, and other animal organs can be eaten if cooked and prepared properly.
It Takes Guts: Put a small object in the bottom of a container filled with leftovers from the butcher, mud, or homemade slime, made by combining half white glue and half water with a little powdered borax dissolved in it.
Bloodbath: Contestants have to get into a bathtub or small pool full of "blood", which is really mostly water, with some red bath tint and a some corn syrup.
For decor you can wrap yellow "Caution" tape around everything. Add some rubber snakes, tarantulas, etc. You can get the locally or order them from Oriental Trading Company.
Be sure and have a "host" to coordinate the events and come up with a creative Grand Prize-maybe like a custom made T-shirt or trophy. Be sure and have some great fast moving alternative or rock music to accompany the festivities! If you want to give favors you can give out some Insect Rings
Have a great time! Obviously if you have chosen this for your theme, Fear is NOT a factor!
