Survivor Theme Party Game Challenges I racked my brain and turned to the Internet for ideas. I scoured the Internet looking for games to purchase. I came up empty-handed. So, I knew that I was on my own and each would have to be created by myself. Here is my challenge listing, the rules, and way I plan on setting everything up. Challenge Board & Score Board First, I needed a way to keep me on task and a way for our guests to see the upcoming challenges. I found our over-sized dry erase board in the basement and decided this would

If your trying to save some money while entertaining the kids then here are 10 great ideas to add some fun and games to your backyard, and your family time.
You may not believe it but Tom and I love this particular reality show that has been on television for almost 15 years! There's something about Survivor on CBS that has kept us begging for more every year. I often thought it would be an empowering experience to go on the show, and I could
I'm pretty sure every mother to young boys has heard of these "How Do Dinosaurs..." book series, but if you haven't click on the book picture below and go check them out. They are apart of our nightly ritual-- sometimes they are an all day phenomenon. My kids LOVE them. So much we've had to purchase this particular book (see below) 3 times because the pages began to fall out. So... because they are a fave in our house, I thought it appropriate to use these book's pictures on my popsicle stick puzzles. I googled these books and found a gazillion pictures online to print at home. I'm not sure if it's illegal or not-- anyone know? However, you could also use pictures from any old book you have laying around. After I did this I thought to myself I could have used one of those other books with the pages falling out and that would have worked great too! The puzzle sticks were a super quick craft and was achieved in one afternoon's nap time. I used jumbo popsicle sticks and these pictures were cropped and sized just right for them. I highly encourage the use of your own books, as I've been told as of lately that using pictures from the web and printing them infringes on copyrights. The number stickers were an after thought, but I think they'll be nice to have when it comes time to teach the little ones their numbers and their order. My three year absolutely LOVES them and has asked to play with them for the past few days straight. It's always great when you can take your child's favorite book and make it come alive for them. Such a darling book series--recommend checking them out at the library OR buying them for your own library collection. They are a fave in our family!
We are SURVIVOR fans at my house. Big-time fans. So when it came time to decide on a theme for what was supposed to be a surprise party for Jason's thirty-fifth birthday, the choice became pretty obvious. We would hold a SURVIVOR competition for couples. It was AWESOME! I believe that attention to the details contributed to making the party a success. So, here are the details: I found a great image of the SURVIVOR logo with a google search, and I used that on just about everything. The invitation had actual quotes from Jeff Probst's opening monologue with slight moderation (two hours, eighteen people, one SURVIVOR). They, along with a survey used for one of the challenges, were printed on postal packaging paper that I cut to fit through the printer. All edges of the papers were burned and they were tied up with jute. The invitations and surveys were delivered with a bandana that represented the tribal buff. I randomly drew names to divide all the party guests into the two tribes- Ulang and Tahun. The tribe names were chosen by typing the word "birthday" in google translator and converting it to Indonesian (the most exotic language available). To create the image on the flag, I ironed web interfacing to the back of the fabrics to make cutting out the pattern easier, used a print off of the logo as a template, and hot-glued everything together. I then sewed the logo onto each flag. Each flag was fastened to a pole so tribe members could carry them around easily (although we never really did). The game supplies were some of the most fun things to put together. They really added to the whole experience. Here are some explanations for each item pictured: 1- I found this incense burner at Wal-Mart for $10.00. A bit of a splurge, but isn't it awesome! 2- I saved this plastic container that had Christmas candies in it and wrapped it with fabric rope, some jute, and freshly cut bush branches and, voila! A vote collection urn. 3- I needed five dry erase boards for one of the games, but good heavens! They are expensive. So I took some foam board that I already had and glued cardstock on both sides. I cut a sheet protector to fit over one of the sides, hot-glued it down, and wrapped and hot-glued jute around the edges for a finishing touch. And because I seemed to be on a wrap-it-in-jute mood, I did the same with the five dry erase markers. 4- Fabric bags were quickly sewn and jute was used for drawstrings. These were used in a final immunity challenge where the bags were tied in various locations on the playground of the park. Contestants had to collect all four bags which contained pieces to a puzzle they had to put together. 5- It just so happened that I had these necklaces in my costume jewelry collection. The larger one was used as the main individual immunity necklace and the one pictured above it was used only once for a challenge. The challenge was to search the park to find the "hidden immunity necklace." 6- I wrapped a huge Sharpie marker just like the collection urn, and the papers for voting were cardstock with torn edges. 7- Of course, we had to have a new set of buffs for when the two tribes merged! 8- I hot-glued scraps of fabric onto wooden skewers to create the small flags that would easily be stuck in the ground for one of the challenges. Not pictured were the two tiki torches purchased for use in tribal councils. I know. Describing the game supplies was probably more information than anyone needed to know! Here is the birthday cake. I don't think it turned out too shabby considering it was my first attempt at making and using my own marshmallow fondant. I was pleased with the final result. And now, here are some pictures of the evening and actual SURVIVOR competition: Darren of Tribe Tahun writing his vote at Tribal Council Tahun with a slight lead over Ulang This one kills me. Three members from each tribe were blindfolded and guided by a caller to go out on the field and retrieve several tribal flags. Never mind that there were trees everywhere. These competitive men went running into the playing field at full speed! Ulang members waiting for their turn to vote at Tribal Council Clair of Ulang takes on Jason of Tahun in a test of balance The gross food challenge where competitors had to see who could eat a Twinkie the fastest Darren polished his Twinkie off quickly, while Doug (in the middle bending over) nearly choked on his Jason came so close to winning the final immunity challenge. He collected all his bags first and put the puzzle together fastest but left one piece in a bag. Doug came from behind to win immunity, and voted Jason off because he didn't think he could convince a jury to choose him over a birthday boy. He was probably right. After Jerimiah and Doug were "grilled" by the jury members, the votes were cast and Doug won by only two votes. He was presented with his million dollars (in the form of ten 100 Grand candy bars) and named sole SURVIVOR. Jason cutting and serving the cake No sooner had the party ended, when talks began to arise of plans for the next SURVIVOR competition. Bring it on! This post authored by Amber

Paige decided she wanted a Survivor themed birthday party. This one took quite a bit of preparation before the party, but the girls had a really good time. I even made a custom logo that we used on the invitations and also the tribe buffs. Here's Paige at the start of the party - wearing her "buff" and holding our tiki man voting container (old formula can covered with paper mache and painted). As the girls arrived, they drew their buffs (which determined which tribe they were on) and then they went to their tribe 'camp' and worked on their tribe flags, tribe name, and mascot. We had two tribes - the green tribe became the Polka Dotted Panthers: And the blue tribe was the Shaba-Laba-Ding-Dongs and their lovely mascot had a cheetah front end and a zebra read end :-) Then we got started on the challenges. For the first challenge, each team designated a 'caller' who stood on their tribe mat and directed teams of two that were tied together at the wrist and blindfolded out into the yard to find bags of puzzle pieces. They had to bring each bag back to the mat separately and the caller had to direct both sets of tribemates at the same time - by yelling at them which direction to go. Once they retrieved all three bags full of puzzle pieces, they had to untie the bags that were knotted really well and then assemble their puzzles... After that was our very first Tribal Council, where the girls from the winning tribe all voted for who they thought did the best in the challenge. There was no 'voting off the island' in Birthday Survivor :-) The next challenge was the infamous food challenge. The girls went head to head against the other tribe with mystery ingredients. First girl to finish her portion and stick our her tongue showing an empty mouth earned a point for her tribe. I figured I couldn't get away with anything too gross so it was all standard grocery-store fare: pimento stuffed olives, sauerkraut (pictured above), potted meat, baby food peas, and sardines. We ended up with a tie, so the tiebreaker was Wasabi Peas - each person had to eat two and the tribe that finished first won. The next challenge was an endurance competition. Who can stand on one leg on a brick the longest? After two minutes, they had to put their hands on top of their heads... after another two minutes they had to lift their non-standing leg out in front of them, etc. The next challenge involved two balance beams with a large bucket of water at one end and two empty containers at the other end. The girls had to walk across the beam and collect water through whatever means possible... mouth, hands, hair, buff... and then return across the balance beam and deposit the water in their tribe's container. Once they made it across the next tribemate went. If someone fell off the beam in the middle, they had to start over. First tribe to fill their container won. There were a couple more challenges, including the typical Survivor auction, but not as many pictures were taken. We headed inside where Paige had a Tiki Man cake: Then we opened presents, the girls played for a little while, and then they camped out in a tent in the backyard. A good time was had by all, but we all got very little sleep. In the morning I made muffins and sent them on their way! Happy 11th Birthday Paige!
