Celebrate a teenager’s birthday so that “the wolves are fed and the sheep are safe”? This is a difficult task facing parents of 13-16 year old children. After all, these are no longer foolish children, but they are also not quite adult boys and girls. What's the best way to celebrate a teenager's birthday?
Why is celebrating a teenager's birthday always so difficult?
It is very difficult to please a teenager in choosing a scenario for celebrating his birthday. Usually, preparing for an event looks like a continuous chain of puzzling problems that require immediate resolution.
Teenagers strive to grow up quickly and become more mature, so entertainment programs with clowns and pirates often seem like “baby talk” to them. However, the truly “adult” program of the holiday is also not yet interesting to them, because in some respects they still remain children.
In addition, in adolescence, it is especially important for a child what his friends think of him, so often a teenager’s pleasure from a holiday is measured in the number of admiring reviews from guests.
Important! When figuring out how to celebrate a teenager’s birthday, you can be sure of only one thing: he really wants this day to be somehow fundamentally different from what has already happened in his life before. For him, this is not just a holiday, but definitely the beginning of some new stage in life, expanding his capabilities.
Problem No. 1. Should I stay at home or go somewhere?
So, what is better - to celebrate a birthday at home, or to go somewhere? To make the right decision, you need to weigh several factors:
- preferences and hobbies of the birthday boy himself
- season
- expected weather
- estimated holiday budget
- number and composition of invitees, their characteristics and preferences
- physiological characteristics of adolescents - the need to throw out energy in movement, dancing, outdoor games, competitions
- age-related need for adolescents to make as much noise as possible - to shout themselves and listen to loud music
- the amount of free time you can devote to preparing for the holiday
It is impossible to say in advance exactly which holiday option will be preferable for you. It all depends on your specific situation. But if, when thinking over a program for a teenager’s birthday, you focus not on how it is “usually” to spend it, and not on how you yourself spent it in your childhood - most likely, you will have a really good holiday, and this The teenager will remember the day for a long time.
Problem No. 2. What to treat guests if you celebrate a teenager’s birthday at home?
A teenager's birthday can be celebrated perfectly at home. Just one condition: you don’t need to turn your birthday into a “binge party” with several changes of dishes.

The feast itself should be discussed in more detail. To prevent the birthday person and guests from being “sluggish” and literally tired from a rich meal, it is best to organize a buffet or buffet table. This table should be served with snacks on convenient skewers, various sandwiches, pies, cookies with surprises, and plenty of soft drinks. The food is simple but satisfying. It is very good if there are a lot of fruits on the table. You can also prepare one—but really only one—simple “signature” dish. However, remember that teenagers have an excellent appetite, which means the food on your buffet should not only be varied and beautiful - there should simply be a lot of it.
And at the end of the feast - of course, a cake with candles, because no matter what teenagers say, at heart they are still the same little children who love sweets and surprises.
On a note! When developing a menu, do not forget that sitting at the table for a long time, decorously using cutlery, is not interesting for teenagers. Most likely, a cheerful company will prefer to return to food several times between other things, or even sit down with pieces somewhere on the sofa or balcony. Do not prepare dishes that can get cold, turn sour or stain the furniture - this way you will save your nerves and not spoil the holiday.
Problem No. 3. How to make a home holiday interesting and original?
The choice of scenario for celebrating a teenager’s birthday largely depends not only on the financial capabilities of the parents, but also on the tastes and preferences of the birthday boy and the entire invited company. Of course, in any case there will be a lot of music, noise, running and dancing. But this is still not enough to make the holiday unforgettable.
Competitions
The feast should definitely be “diluted” with fun, moderately “adult” competitions. Think over and prepare them in advance. You must choose competitions for the holiday together with the birthday person - everyone’s character and interests are different, so only the teenager himself can decide whether the competitions you like will be suitable for his company. And don’t forget that the winners of the competitions are entitled to prizes.
Games
Playing different games is fun for any age, although the games are different. Teenagers often like intellectual games with elements of competition - erudite, Danetki, Burime or anagrams, etc. However, it is still much more likely that they will be captivated by games that require movement and noise - for example, film pantomime, impromptu theater, candlelight, recognition games, dancing with an orange, and the like. Team quests like “find the treasure” are usually received very well. But no matter what games you choose for your teen party, remember that they should be interesting for all guests and should not offend anyone.
Theme parties
Recently, it has become increasingly popular to celebrate a birthday with a party on a pre-designated theme. The success of such a holiday is, of course, determined by its organization. The theme of the party should be of interest to all guests. Guests should have enough time to prepare for the party. There is usually cosplay at these events, so you need to have some stock of themed clothing items for guests who do not have time to prepare their own costume. Games, competitions and menus for a theme party are also selected very carefully.
Choosing a theme for such a party is a separate issue. Attempts to persuade teenagers towards “fairy tale” themes usually end in failure, even if they are interested in fairy tales - after all, they need to demonstrate their “adultness”. It is much better if the topic is related to a movie or computer game, the main thing here is that they are familiar to everyone in the company. Girls may like a “fashion show” or a “cat party”, boys may like the “wild west”, any teenagers like parties with a “vampire” theme, fruit (orange, banana, etc.), color (black and white, red and etc.), sometimes geographical (Japanese, Indian, American, Russian, or simply sea, cave, mountain, etc.). And naturally, the birthday boy should play the main role at the celebration.
On a note! Whatever games and competitions you hold, you can be sure of one thing: teenagers have such irrepressible energy that they can smash an apartment to smithereens and not even notice it. Therefore, when preparing to celebrate a birthday at home, immediately determine the places where a cheerful company will have fun, and where it is not advisable to enter. Of course, this must be done together with the birthday person and in a tactful manner.
Problem #4: Where can you go to celebrate your teen's birthday?
Celebrating a teenager’s birthday outside the home is both easier and more difficult than at home. On the one hand, you won’t need to prepare anything, you won’t have to think about a lot of cleaning up after the holiday, it’s easier to organize entertainment, and in general you can invite presenters with a ready-made birthday script. But on the other hand, such an event, firstly, can be very difficult for the family budget, and secondly, it assumes your responsibility for all minor guests whom you invite to the holiday.
If funds allow, and you are sure that there will be enough adults at the party so that nothing happens to your teenager’s guests, you can choose from several options.
- A teenager’s birthday can be celebrated in a very fun way at a water park, a roller rink, a climbing wall, or riding an ATV. The main advantage of such a celebration is that the birthday boy and his guests have room to “unwind”. You can run from the heart, jump, scream - have a blast.
- Just sitting in a cafe is a common, but rather boring option for teenagers. Usually it is combined with a visit to a bowling club, cinema or entertainment center.
- Many teenagers will probably enjoy playing shooting games - paintball, laser tag, quasar.
- You can please a teenage girl by organizing a professional photo shoot or filming in her honor - she will be able to feel like a real singer, model or actress.
- Perhaps the teenager and his friends share some common hobby, for example, cycling. Then organizing a camping trip to some beautiful and unusual place is a great option.
- Another great option is a birthday party at an equestrian club. Usually there are sleigh rides or carriage rides, depending on the time of year, and you can always ride ponies and horses.
- If it’s summer outside, then you can celebrate a teenager’s birthday by having a picnic in the forest, on the shore of a lake, or at the dacha. It’s just important not to forget to grab a ball or badminton set along with snacks and barbecue.
- Holidays where teenagers are offered a live quest are very interesting: participants must play a certain plot and solve a whole series of riddles, while visiting several objects in the city. To organize a live quest, you need to contact special agencies, because the success of the event depends primarily on the professionalism of the presenters.
- And finally, you can always order a themed holiday show from the agency with professional presenters, which is held either in a cafe, or in a special club, or on a rented water bus.
Important! When deciding where exactly you will celebrate your teenager's birthday, try not to repeat yourself. Even if your teenager and his friends really like, for example, bowling, he is unlikely to be pleased if he celebrates his holiday there several times in a row. Anyone on their birthday is inspired by something new, but for teenagers this is not just joy - it is the need to enter “adult life” and get what “yesterday was not possible, but now it is already possible.”
Problem No. 5. Is alcohol needed at a teenager’s birthday party?
This is an extremely delicate problem, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. On the one hand, it is certainly too early for teenagers to drink alcohol. However, the “forbidden fruit” is especially attractive to them, and therefore the birthday boy and guests can easily get drunk on cheap “port wine” somewhere around the corner, thus marking their “growing up,” and you are unlikely to be able to prevent this. Therefore, each parent will have to decide this for himself, taking into account the attitudes and traditions of his family.
In any case, if you decide to serve alcohol at the birthday party of a 15-16 year old teenager, you will be sure of at least how much was drunk and what quality it was, and the birthday boy will not be left with the feeling that that you don't trust him. But the choice of alcohol should be taken as responsibly as possible. Of course, there should be no strong drinks on the table. Carbonated alcoholic cocktails are not an option at all. Firstly, they are generally extremely harmful. Secondly, teenagers do not subjectively feel intoxicated by such cocktails (they are too “like lemonade”), and therefore try to drink as much as possible. Perhaps a small amount of good wine will help solve the problem.
Problem No. 6. Should I invite relatives to a teenager’s birthday party?
Should adults celebrate a teenager's birthday with his friends? Often parents invite “their” adult company to their teenager’s birthday party. Grandparents, aunts and uncles, other relatives and family friends gather to admire the birthday boy and congratulate his happy parents. Of course, parents have the right to share their joy with these close people, but the teenager himself, as a rule, believes that sitting at home with his family is childish and boring, and in some ways he is right. After all, for all the relatives present, he remains a child, and after congratulations, “adult” conversations begin that are completely uninteresting to the teenager, during which he plays only the role of decoration.
If you cannot refuse a family celebration with relatives, separate the company. Let the teenager accept the congratulations of adults, but his main holiday will still be separate, with a group of friends. It is best if these two events can be held not on the same day, but on different ones. First, your teenager’s actual birthday. Well, the next day or next weekend - family gatherings with relatives. It is unlikely that a teenager will refuse to extend his holiday for another day, but in this case a solemn family feast will no longer seem so burdensome to him.
Important! It is best to prepare for a teenager's birthday together with him, unless it is a surprise party. Together with the teenager, you should discuss options for celebrating and offer him competitions and entertainment that are successful in the parents’ opinion. If you plan to go to an entertainment center, be sure to make a reservation in advance. But still leave room for a little surprise. Let the holiday program include several pleasant surprises for your teenager, which he will not know about in advance.
A teenager's birthday is, first of all, not all sorts of troubles, but a holiday with a capital letter. Let this holiday become the most beloved and unforgettable for your teenager!
What problems did you have to solve when celebrating a teenager’s birthday? Tell us how you dealt with them.
Content: “Just look at him! “I’ve become quite an adult,” the grandmother of the birthday boy will say on his 16th birthday, wiping away tears of tenderness and joy. And indeed, quite an adult. Sixteen years is already serious. A little more and he will finish school. A little more, and the childish features will be “erased” from the face; a little more, and your child will become an adult.
The sixteenth birthday is usually celebrated with family and friends. A gift for a sixteenth birthday, as a rule, is presented seriously. For a girl - gold jewelry, for a young man - a good wristwatch. A teenager's sixteenth birthday celebration can be organized according to a theme. We bring to your attention a birthday scenario in a culinary style.
The table has always been an integral part of any birthday. Making it an unusual “center” of the holiday is not such a difficult task. To hold a themed special event - a culinary party, you need a spacious kitchen or apartment with a large living room. The birthday boy should ask his friends to come to the holiday in soft, non-staining clothes and bring aprons and caps with them. The attributes of the holiday will be kitchen utensils necessary for preparing dishes and, of course, a stove.
Scenario for 16th birthday - “Cooking Party”
There is no holiday menu as such; the birthday person, together with you, only needs to make preparations for some competitions, for example, cake layers soaked in cream but not yet decorated, a simple dessert, mastic and drinks. For competitions, it is better to divide guests into small teams. In addition to the usual birthday decorations, the location of the holiday must be decorated with “culinary” paraphernalia. The birthday boy can greet guests in a chef's suit. For the competition, it is necessary to prepare spices with characteristic and recognizable odors: vanilla, dried garlic, dried dill, basil, suneli hops, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaf and others. One player is selected from each team. With his eyes closed, he must determine by smell what kind of herb or spice he was given to smell. The winning team is the team whose member gave more correct answers than the others. Boys and girls are divided into several teams. Each team must think of a dish. The task of a participant in one of the groups is to explain the essence of the dish without resorting to verbal expression, using gestures, showing the process of its preparation. The task of the opposing team is to guess the name of the dish. Participants of two teams are given an equal amount of mastic. The teenagers' task is to use it to decorate a cake that has already been pre-coated with icing. In addition to mastic, team members are given items necessary for decoration. The winner is the team whose decorations are more elegant and sophisticated. Birthday greetings - 16 years old

Wishes for the birthday boy
- Son, you've turned sixteen. From our own experience we know that this is a wonderful age. It's time for new discoveries and achievements, a time for love, youthful enthusiasm and new bright impressions. We wish you to carry the fire of love of life in your heart. We wish you to become more responsible, stronger and more courageous every year! May all your dreams come true, may all your plans come true! Be happy, our dear son!

We, your parents, will always be with you. We will always provide you with the necessary help and support! Happy sixteenth birthday, our dear!
You can order beer, wine, or cider during your holiday dinner at a café (restaurant) if you are accompanied by an adult over 18. Agree, it’s a thrill to try alcohol (even weak) in the presence of your ancestors and with their permission! True, there is a nuance. All parents of your guests must give written or verbal permission for such an event. Otherwise, there may be trouble (you don’t know how your friends’ “laces” feel about alcohol).
You can legally ride a moped or scooter. According to the updated Russian law, these vehicles now also need to have rights and a license. And they are issued to persons aged from 16 to 18 years old. Agree, excellent birthday gift for young people seeking mobility and speed!
You can rent your own accommodation(true, the keys to the rented living space are received by an adult security guarantor, but you didn’t intend to hide the place of your party from your parents, did you?). It's great to have a good time and celebrate Birthday far from home? Now you can throw a party on “your” (albeit for a short time) territory.
You can play the National Lotteries. Another great gift idea! And if you win, you can receive your cash prize yourself!
You can fly a glider. If you are in love with the sky, and are just waiting for the life alarm clock to ring at around 16 in order to conquer it yourself - this point is just for you! Why not arrange party at the airport, with glider aerobatics lessons for yourself and your guests? It’s simply impossible to imagine a more original holiday!
You can enter into a civil or official marriage(with parental consent). Do you already have a loved one with whom you don’t want to part with even for a minute? And, of course, you both couldn’t wait for your cherished sixteen to live together? And did your parents approve of your choice? There is no limit to teenage fatalism! And it’s good if loving parents are able to put themselves in the child’s place, understand him and support him! Or at least come to terms with the fact that he has the right to choose! In such circumstances, the theme of the sixteenth birthday may well be an engagement!
You can buy chocolate with liqueur without obstacles. Really, it's a small thing? But how nice! And so delicious! An excellent argument if you are planning Sweet 16 party!
Need to do many unique non-alcoholic cocktails. “Strawberry Margarita”, “Cola Ice”, “Juice Cockatoo” - trendy drinks among teenagers. Especially if they are beautifully decorated and served in “adult” glasses!
Need to create a music playlist according to age and tastes. You can do this yourself! Thus, you will participate in the preparatory process of your holiday. What if, suddenly, your parents decide to arrange for you birthday surprise, tactfully advise them to use the services of a professional DJ, with the opportunity to order him any musical compositions.
Need to stock up on more food, than you intend to put on the table. Teenagers- people are active, constantly on the move. Surely, after dancing, they will want to have a snack. Agree, it will be terribly unpleasant if after the next dance marathon there is nothing to eat.

It is necessary that all The birthday was special, and not just its solemn part. Shopping, limousine, horseback riding, etc. Probably, your family will try to fulfill your every desire, even the most cherished (absurd) on this day!
We need to celebrate 16 brightly and unforgettably! For example, having a party at retro style. Huge sunglasses as invitation cards, poodle hairstyles and leather jackets as party dress code, remakes of popular 50s music as an invitation to dance until the morning! Plus to everything - a bonus! - incredibly positive photos that will warm your memory all your life!
You can't be bored, you have to dance until you drop! Ideal if you are seriously interested in any particular type of dance art. Accordingly, you have formed a certain circle of friends who are fluent in one or another dance. In this case, a party in the style of tango (salsa, waltz, macarena, etc.) will be quite appropriate and will be received with “Hurray!” But what if you just want to dance? Then for you - disco night! Rhythm, sounds, body movements to the beat!
16 - I want not be LIKE adults, but really be an adult! Sixteenth anniversary- a reason to reconsider the rules and laws regarding teenagers. For example, give him a gift, move the “curfew” to a later time, increase the amount of pocket expenses, etc. And also organize a party for him and his friends in an “adult”, previously prohibited, place or style. For example, a glamorous party in a spa salon, with a variety of “adult” procedures: pedicure, manicure, peeling, etc. Or a party at a golf club, with a buffet table, punch and a good game on a professional course. Or - Birthday, the culmination of which will be a trip to the cinema for a late-night screening.
.jpg)
16 - you need to arrange the first one in your life night party! Invite your friends to meet at midnight! Night, stars, scary movies under a sea of popcorn, frank conversations until dawn. Or - a musical show in the open air, to the accompaniment of cicadas and night birds. Night has the power to reveal all secrets! And when, if not in 16 , look for clues to global issues?
IT IS FORBIDDEN! |
Strong alcohol, drugs, sex- taboo during parties! Birthday boy (birthday girl) They should be informed about this even BEFORE the party. And BEFORE the preparatory stage of the holiday, they are obliged to inform adults, their friends, about this prohibition. Same for parents birthday boy It is worth thinking about how to behave in case of violation of the rules.
Parents must always be in the access area for the holiday! Even if your your parents trust you one hundred percent, and can easily leave the house for a few hours, ask them not to go too far. There are various uncontrollable and unforeseen situations! For example, someone became ill, or a neighbor came to investigate the noise and commotion from your apartment. Dad and Mom can resolve the issue faster than you.
Be sure to indicate in the invitation end time of the holiday! This point is necessary for the comfort of everyone. Your parents - because they will know when to serve the cake and start cleaning the room. You and your friends - because you will clearly know how long to spread out your holiday (treats, entertainment, dancing, etc.). The parents of your friends - because they will calmly wait for their children to return at a certain time, and will not call in vain.
And, to conclude the conversation about the dos, don’ts and don’ts of partying at symbolic birthday, let us recall that 16 - the period of peak youthful maximalism, but absolutely no reason to irrevocably ruin your future life. IN 16 years you don't act like adults for exactly one day, but become adults forever. This means that you bear responsibility for your good and bad deeds! Let your sixteenth birthday be remembered by you with a lot of positive things, which will be enough for your whole long, bright life!
A teenager's birthday is a difficult topic for both parents and teenagers themselves. If young girls can sit quietly over a cup of coffee with TV series or go to a cafe, then guys will not celebrate the occasion like that. Now we’ll tell you how to celebrate the birthday of a boy who turns 16 in an unusual way. Our article will discuss several interesting ideas. Gift options will also be considered.
Congratulations to a boy on his 16th birthday
The holiday should begin with an original congratulation. Relatives should wish the guy success, happiness, love, of course, and more joyful moments. After all, once a year there is a birthday. 16 years is the age at which teenagers begin to appreciate words of congratulations, cards and little surprises with wishes. Don't forget about the main gift. A teenager will be pleased to start the day by having breakfast with a cake with a candle or cookies with a wish, and find some money on the nightstand to organize a holiday.
What to give a 16 year old boy? A gift for a teenager depends on the interests, preferences and the giver. A guy will be pleased to receive a cute pillow from his girlfriend. He expects something more significant from his parents. In fact, a 16th birthday gift for a boy can be absolutely anything. You may like both unusually wrapped socks and a new computer.
Gifts from friends
What to give a 16 year old boy? It could be anything. The main thing is that it is not useless and matches tastes.
Comic gifts from friends will undoubtedly amuse and lift your spirits. But in this case, it is worth considering that his parents also live in the house with the 16-year-old. So inflatable women and indecently shaped cakes are not suitable. Also, such jokes should not offend the birthday person.
A poker set would be an excellent gift. You can play this game right at your birthday party.
Gifts based on interests and hobbies are more useful than ever at this age. Since parents often do not consider the purchase of such accessories necessary.
Clothing for teenage boys can be a birthday present. Buying complex and expensive items such as jeans, shirts or jackets should be left to your parents or the guy himself. And friends can buy an unusual T-shirt or tank top, specialized gloves, mittens, funny socks or a belt.
A surprise party would be an interesting gift from friends.
Gifts from parents
What to give a boy for his 16th birthday to his parents? Here it is somewhat more complicated, especially if the son did not declare the desired present.
Universal gifts from moms and dads are: gadgets, computers, equipment, furniture, trips, excursions, courses, vehicles (motorcycles and mopeds), bank deposits, status jewelry and, of course, just money. Parents should not deviate from this list. In this case, you just need to choose what exactly your child will like most on his birthday.
Clothing for teenage boys as a birthday gift is not very exciting. Although if these are super cool jeans or branded sneakers that the guy has been dreaming of for a long time, then feel free to present them.
It is not advisable to give toys and games to boys 16 years old. The guy is already an adult and may be upset that those closest to him consider him a child. An exception would be computer or board games (provided that the teenager plays them). But it’s still better to receive such a gift from a friend than from your parents.
Gifts from relatives
What to give a 16 year old boy? The answer to this question is simple - money. The best gift from grandparents, uncles and aunts will be finances. Money can be wrapped in an original way or presented in an unusual way. You should only choose a gift if the boy himself said that he would like it.
What kind of holiday should you arrange for a sixteen-year-old boy?
Naturally, it is necessary to arrange a birthday party. Every teenager tries to celebrate their 16th birthday in a special way. Therefore, parents should be given complete freedom in this. And if you ban something, then it is reasoned.
How to celebrate a birthday in an unusual way? Choosing a place to hold a holiday is not so difficult. It is enough just to ask the child about it and if the family budget allows, then the issue is resolved. If the teenager has not yet decided, then you can offer: your house or apartment, a country cottage, an entertainment center, a cafe, a restaurant, a club, an outdoor picnic, amusement parks, a limousine and a boat. You can have fun in each of these places.
You should not choose paintball or all kinds of quest rooms, cinemas and theaters as a place for a holiday. This may be part of the entertainment at a birthday party, but not the whole party.
Fun and games
The choice of entertainment and games should also be made by the teenager himself or his friends. They know better what will be interesting to them. This also applies to competitions with prizes, music and films. Adults should only intervene if the total amount exceeds the allowable budget or if the activities invented by teenagers are dangerous or illegal. Everything else depends on imagination and interests.
Boys may like a regular party with music and dancing, funny games like crocodile or forfeits (during these games, conservative parents are better off going out). Bowling or billiards are also suitable. Don't forget some fairly adult entertainment, such as a sauna, shooting range or jacuzzi.
Sports games, relay races and other similar competitions are best left to professionals and the teenagers themselves. Otherwise, such activities may be too childish and uninteresting.
Holiday menu
In order to decide on the menu, there are several rules:
- There should be a lot of food and non-alcoholic drinks. Don't worry that there will be a lot left. Because teenage boys eat a lot, more than adults. If there is anything left, it will end the next day.
- There should also be a lot of non-alcoholic drinks, just like food, and even more. Soda and juice usually don’t remain, and most often there isn’t even enough.
- It is best to order pizza, French fries, all kinds of fast food, rolls and sushi. You can make sandwiches and prepare cold snacks. There should also be sweets and fruits on the table. Some teenagers find home-cooked food tastier. Then you will have to prepare meat, potatoes, salads. If the holiday takes place in a private house, outside the city, or in a cafe with a barbecue, then the choice can be made at barbecue. The topic of dishes should be discussed with the birthday person himself. He knows exactly what he and his company love to eat.
- You can't ignore the cake. Everyone loves sweets without exception. It can be a cake of an unusual shape, with drawings and inscriptions, or it can be homemade, prepared by a beloved mother, grandmother or girlfriend.
- Alcohol. The question is quite complex. On the one hand, it’s worth allowing the boys to drink beer and the girls to take wine or champagne, but will the friends’ parents understand this step? On the other hand, if it is prohibited, then teenagers can get drunk around the corner and, at best, start rowing. And if you ban alcohol and lock up children, then a conflict may begin. It will ruin the holiday. To decide whether alcohol is needed or not, you need to talk with the parents of your child’s friends and, if they don’t mind, put some wine or champagne on the table. This issue should already be resolved with the son himself.
Leave teenagers alone or supervise them
Almost every teenager will want to send mom and dad for a walk on their holiday. Therefore, there is no need to discuss this with your child.
If the son himself asks to leave his company unattended, then you need to clarify what they will do and whether they will dismantle the house into pieces. Then you should discuss this with your spouse. If there is no reason to worry, then it is better to comply with this request.
If the situation does not allow leaving children alone, then if necessary, it is advisable not to stand over the children as an overseer. It would be better to relax in another room or cafe hall.
If the birthday party is held in the forest, then it is advisable not to leave the children there alone.
Conclusion
Now you know what gift to choose for a sixteen-year-old boy. Also in our article we described how you can celebrate such a celebration. We hope that our article was useful to you.
16 years is an excellent age - it seems like you’re not quite an adult yet, but you’re no longer a child. And how can a girl spend such a birthday? A birthday script for a 16-year-old girl will help you organize a stunning holiday, and your girlfriends will bite their elbows because they didn’t have such a bright and colorful birthday.
We propose to carry out the entire scenario for the birthday of a 16-year-old girl in this format - games and competitions. And you yourself decide when to dance and when to sit down at the table to refresh yourself. So, let's begin.
At the age of 16, many are already accomplished people, personalities and celebrities. Do you want your daughter to feel like a real celebrity? Then we suggest this: call your daughter’s friends a day or two in advance, but in secret from the birthday girl, and tell them what they all need to do. And this is what they need to do: they must gather everything quietly near the birthday girl’s apartment and each one must have a card. When everyone has gathered, they begin to knock and drum on the door and shout: open, we want to see you, we love you, and so on. Shout what fans usually shout. When the birthday girl opens the door, everyone stretches out their hands to her with cards and shouts: this is for you, take this from me. Congratulations! And so on. Afterwards, all the guests enter the room, where they congratulate their friend on the holiday.
First, you need to make sure that the guests get comfortable at the holiday and become “one of our own.” Therefore, we propose to conduct a question-answer style game. First, one takes out a question - reads it out, and then the answer - and also reads it out.
Examples of questions:
1. What do you think about the birthday girl?
2. Do you think the birthday girl got her hairstyle right?
3. Were you very upset when you found out that you are older than the birthday girl?
4. Do you consider the birthday girl your friend?
5. Have you come to eat and drink?
6. So as not to be thought of as a glutton, will you eat little and then secretly take the leftovers home?

Playing with the ball, believe it or not, style.

Examples:
Lipny - mouth
Ring - finger
Earrings - ears
Shampoo - hair
Mascara - eyelashes
Nail polish – nails
Hair dye - hair
And so on. Until you get bored or run out of words.
At the end of the celebration, a birthday cake is brought out. You can do it like this:
All girls are given a piece of paper on which is written an oath called “no dieting”! The girls read the oath together, loud and clear.
Oath:
I solemnly swear to everyone present,
Eat cake until I choke!
I'll eat my piece quickly,
And I’ll cut the second one myself!
I'll say no to diet today
And if I break my oath, I will punish myself.
My punishment will be severe,
I’ll eat three more kilograms of cake!
After the vow, everyone, without exception, eats cake.
