I am having a sweet 16. The theme is candy shop. Does anyone have ideas for activities besides dancing?!
I am having tons of candy, a chocolate fountain, and a salt water taffy bar!. Any other ideas you have about my party are helpful!. But it is in the winter so going outside is difficult!. I am having it at my house!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
You can set up an ice cream bar!. Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and some toppings!. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and marachino cherries and have everyone make their own sundaes!. You can get the plastic sundae glasses at the dollar store or get the waffle cone bowls at the grocery store!.
You can do a pie eating contest, BUT instead of pie, fill the tins with whipped cream, whoever finishes first wins!
Pinata! Being it's a candy theme, you have to have a pinata! You can find one you like at the party store and then in the same aisle they have big bags of pinata filler, and they'll still be room for you to add other favorites of your room!.
You can do candy trivia!. Look up some candy slogans/or facts and have them guess the slogan that goes with that candy!. The person that guess the most right wins!. For example:
Melts in your mouth, but not in your hand:
m&ms!
Named after a NY Yankee player, but it really wasn't:
Babe Ruth!
A Rainbow of fun:
skittles
Who put their chocolate in my peanut butter!? Reese peanut butter cups
You can go to the different candy websites and see what their slogans and facts are and use this for the trivia!.
You can also do a game of listing all the songs that have Candy in their title!.
You can do the same with movies, etc
You can do a pie eating contest, BUT instead of pie, fill the tins with whipped cream, whoever finishes first, wins!
You can also get some candy bars and different kinds of candy, have everyone make a story or some kind rhyme with the candy!. Choose two or three people to be judges and then whoever they choose as the winner wins!. What you would do is, give everyone a piece of foamboard and let them choose what candy they want, skittles, snickers, 3 musketeers, hershey kisses, etc and they have to make a story with those candies taping them to the board!. Here's an example if I'm confusing you: The 3 Muskateers were sitting around talking when one went into snickers!. He said he thought about kisses and hugs with a girl who loved skittles and rainbows!. You would then put the candy where they fit in the story and tape them there!.
I hope some of these ideas help and that you have a great party and a very Happy Sweet 16!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

have your guests make their own candy apple as a souvenir!. have caramel or candy apple dip (the red one), then tons of toppings to roll the apple in, such as nuts, crushed oreo, red hots, etc!.
you can also do a fear factor game, in which at least one ingredient of the mystery food is candy!. your guests will have to figure out what candy is hidden/mixed in with the other food!.
i love the theme of your party!. have fun!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
