Have you ever tried geocaching? It is a game of hiding and seeking “caches” of treasure. Players can place a cache anywhere in the world, pinpoint its location using a GPS device, and log their cache online or share with friends. Anyone with a GPS device or smartphone can then try to locate the cache. It makes for the perfect birthday party for teens and older kids!

6. Pop it Like It’s Hot Popcorn Bar

This popcorn bar is perfection for any teen party, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. This entire slumber party is nothing short of epic. Throwing a party like this could definitely help you reach cool mom status.

7. Glow in the Dark Party for Teens
