UFO Play Date or party idea. Simple, silly, fun.

 If you are looking for a fun and unique play-date activity consider having a UFO get-together. Invite the participants over and ask them to wear green or silver. Your snacks can be quick and easy with sandwiches cut in a round shape to represent flying saucers, "flying" pizza pies, moon pies, and pop-rocks for dessert.

A few other ideas to make your get-together interactive:

1). Have a UFO-themed movie like E.T or a cartoon playing on TV (Lilo and Stich), or else some background music like "The Purple People Eater' by Sheb Whooly or Will Smith's "Men in Black".
2) Search for clues to the alien ship using a list of clues to follow.
3) Make crafts out of paper plates. Have a table set up with things to decorate the outside of the plates (Pens, Glitter, glue, stickers) and then glue the plates facing each other to make a flying saucer.  Make sure and use a heavy glue that binds paper quickly. They can take these items home as gifts.
4) Have the group come up with a Martian language.
5) Make a cardboard cutout with holes in it, put the point value on top of each hole, and then have the kids try and fly mini Frisbees though them.
6) Many of the dollar stores carry the bobbly antennae head bands. These would make great "welcome to the get-together" gifts and also be fun for the group pictures.

Host an Open-Mic Night

I am always surprised by the talents of people around me. I mean really impressed. Many times that shy, quiet child or even that rambunctious, loud prankster has an amazing talent. Bring it out by hosting an open-mic night. Buy or rent a microphone. Yes, I broke it down to the simplest form.  Put the mic in the front of the room you will be hosting in, have some "at the show" snacks, add in fun sing-a-long music, and then invite kids, teens, and family over.  Let them know that any form of entertainment is game. Jokes, songs, poetry, whatever strikes their fancy, and then sit back and enjoy the show.

 If everyone is too quiet, make a game out of it. Pass the microphone around and ask a question such as "What is the first word that comes to mind when I say... Porcupine?". Then, everyone in the group individually says the first thing that came to their mind into the mic and passes it to the next person. The person responsible for asking the question rotates to the next person on their right.  (or left. It's your house, your rules)  At the very least, some of the answers will be humorous.

This idea works great for teens. Of course, they will be quiet at first. But leave the room, let them put on their own music, and wait for the magic.
