Keep ’em busy
1. An Instax Mini 9 camera (and plenty of film to use) is a must for a teen-girls get-together! R1 199, Superbalist

3. Karaoke is an easy, cheesy, instant party maker. Just be sure to get music they know!

Game changers: If you don’t mind the chaos, these lead to hilarity
The chocolate game
A dice is rolled and whoever gets a six must try to eat from a slab of chocolate with a knife and fork (after putting on a selection of dress-up clothes, and socks on their hands). It’s a kids’ game that teens love!
Fear factor
Include challenges like egg roulette, where out of a tray of six eggs, only five are hard-boiled. Participants have to take turns smashing eggs on their heads. Who will get egged?
Paint Twister
Cover Twister dots with water-soluble paint in corresponding colours and watch the fun begin.
How to make a doughnut wall: An edible trend any teen will love
1. You’ll need a peg board, dowels, paint and a variety of doughnuts.
2. Paint your peg board with one or two coats of paint and allow to dry.
3. Once dry, position against a wall or on top of a table.
4. Pop doughnuts on your peg board either randomly or in a pretty pattern.
5. Durbanites: Call The Cutest Party on the Block (076 502 6763) for customised doughnut walls.
Eat and drink
Simba turns 60 this year! Who isn’t partial to a big bowl of Chipniks? Serve boerie rolls or burgers with Peppadew’s delicious new range of relishes. The easiest way to feed a hungry crowd? Add bacon, feta, chicken or mushrooms to All Gold Tomato & Herb Pasta Sauce, pour over pasta, and let them feast!
The sweetest thing: Serve these sprinkle spoons with hot chocolate or ice cream, or on their own
1. YOU’LL NEED: A variety of spoons, a baking tray, a slab of white or milk chocolate, sprinkles and mini marshmallows.
