I need ideas for my 3rd annual halloween party for 6th graders.?

I know it is early to think Halloween but I have to start early. The party is for my daughter’s whole class and they are allowed to bring friends and family so there are lots of people. I thought about having a dance. do you think thats ok for 6th grade? thats ages 11 through 13. probably mostly 11 and 12 years old some older kids will be there. Ideas please!!!

Totally check out www.orientaltrading.com – they have lots of Halloween stuff including decorations, party favors, and some costumes. They are really inexpensive and usually have some sort of free shipping. Also, if you decide to go with a theme, like the pirate theme somebody mentioned, they have that, too.

A dance is cool – there should be lots of Halloween dance music CD’s out there. Just do a search. Also, do a search for cool Halloween food – serving strange or gross-looking items would be cool. I once saw somebody make a sort of cake that was in the shape of a body part and when you cut into it “blood” gushed everywhere. I once make fake blood from white Kayro syrup and red food coloring. It sticks to things and runs really well – I used it in a mock-murder scene for a haunted house I worked on.

Glow-in-the-dark items (rave sort of items) would be popular at a Halloween dance. Oriental trading has tons of them, too.

Games would be alright, but they have to be really cool to appeal to 6th graders. Do a search; I bet you can come up with something.

I suggest a Pirate themed dance. I am a teacher and transformed my entire classroom using the pirates theme. I got a background for the walls of a beach scene from Party City and then bought lots of plastic gold coins, fishnets, etc. Since the movies have been so popular, this might be ideal for kids that are a little older and not into the whole “cartoon” stuff. Plus, there are so many ways you can go with this theme and a Halloween party. Skull and bones, etc.

What about something to do with Toy Story. There are loads of characters in that.

I saw the toy soliders in Disneyland recently. Their outfits looked really easy to make. Combat green, spray painted in army green, real plastic, lacquered look and big bits of cardboard stuck to their feet for when they walked.

It would be such fun, woody, buzz, mr.potatohead and all very, very doo-able.

*Looks forward to Halloween to put ideas into practise :)*

Sorry, Lol, I didn’t read it right at all! I’m sure your daughter and her friends will love a disco, you could also have some ‘bingo’ with spot prizes.

If this is the 3rd annual year your daughter has been a 6th grader, I don’t think that a party is what she needs.
