Indoor/Outdoor Camping
-
If the number of guests isn't too overwhelming, a backyard camping trip is a fun activity for boys of all ages. Have guests bring a sleeping bag and pillow, hand out flashlights, roast hot dogs and marshmallows around a fire pit or chiminea, make s'mores, tell ghost stories and more. If the weather doesn't cooperate, the camping can always be moved indoors by moving furniture to the walls of a large living or family room and setting up tents inside instead. Add a few glow-in-the-dark stars and planets to the ceiling for an outdoor effect.
Scavenger Hunt
-
Prepare a list of items for the boys to track down in a scavenger hunt game. Depending on the size and age of the group, separate the guests into smaller groups and have them work as teams to locate the items either around the house, out in the backyard, or in your neighborhood. Be sure to closely supervise if the teams are planning to roam the neighborhood to hunt things down, however.

Mud Pie Dessert
-
After dinner has been devoured, have the group of boys make their own mud pie dessert by mixing up crushed-up Oreo cookies, hot fudge, chocolate ice cream, whipped cream and more. Top off the mud pies with gummy worms and any other dirt-appropriate candy toppings.
Balloon Stomp
-
When the energy is running at full speed, take the games outside or clear aside breakable items and have a balloon stomp. Blow up multiple balloons before the party, and tie on some string. Each guest can tie one of the balloons to an ankle. At your signal, have them attempt to stomp on each others' ankle-tied balloons to pop them. Whoever is left with a balloon on their ankle is the winner.
Musical Sleeping Bags
-
Since each guest will have brought a sleeping bag, why not use them in a game of musical sleeping bags. Line up the sleeping bags on the floor in a circle with one fewer than the number of players. The boys can walk around the sleeping bag while music plays, but they have to scramble to either sit on or get inside a sleeping bag when the music stops.
