These awesome Super Mario party ideas are the perfect way to celebrate with the kids. Enjoy 20 low-cost birthday ideas – everything from cake to décor & favors!

It’s-a Mario party! The beloved video game character has become a favorite for kids for decades now, and it makes the perfect birthday party theme for a wide variety of ages. Whether your child is a preschooler or a preteen, a Mario birthday party will be a total hit. Need some inspiration for party décor, cake ideas, activities for the kids, or party favors? We’ve got you covered with all that and more. From pixelated Mario cakes to chocolate bars that look like Nintendo controllers, you’ll find everything you need to plan the perfect party for your Mario fan.

Mario Party Cake Ideas

For those who want to DIY the birthday cake, here are several simple options to get those creative juices flowing. One tip is to not make the cake and buy a cake from your local grocery store that is not iced. You can do the rest of the work by adding fun Super Mario-themed cake decorations to make a personalized touch for your son or daughter.

Make a pixelated Mario cake (like in the OG game) by using M&Ms and peanut butter chips. It’s such a simple idea that you can do even if you’re not great at cake decorating. The fluffy cloud on the blue and green background is made with dollops of white frosting, but you could also use whipped cream or mini marshmallows to make a cloud. | 4 Sons R Us

Although it looks difficult, making this Mario face cake is easy when you do it in small steps. The shapes for the cake and facial features are easy to make using cookie cutters or a knife. The creator recommends a layer of creamy frosting beneath the fondant for those who really enjoy fondant. (It peels right off.) That’s a great idea! | Meet Penny

Watch the step-by-step video to learn how to make this super cute Toadstool cake! This cake is rather small, but it would be perfect for a smash cake or an individual-sized cake for the birthday boy or girl. | Red Ted Art

Simplify your cake-making efforts by adding small toys on top of your cake instead of trying to create the characters using fondant. You could even do this with a store-bought cake if you’re in a pinch for time. | Recipes Inspired by Mom

Instead of a cake or cupcakes, go for cake pops (or just add them as an extra on your dessert table). They’re portable, bite-sized, and lots of fun to make. These cake pops are modeled after Koopa shells! | Rosanna Pansino

Mario Party Food Ideas

You’re going to love these Mario party foods! These ideas are (mostly) healthy and super affordable. Win-win! When planning fun food or a Super Mario party theme, think of items that are found in the switch game, etc. Then from these items try to pair foods with fun names. Take a look at a few of these Super Mario Brothers party themed food ideas.

Add a healthy snack to your party table with this fun Fire Power Flower veggie tray. You can’t go wrong with ranch dip in the middle surrounded by delicious veggies like cherry tomatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas. Really easy to create your own DIY Fire Flower food craft. You can replace the paper eyes with olives, if you prefer. | Homemade Heather

Agh! It’s the piranha plant! But this one isn’t scary at all — it’s another healthy choice to put on your food table. Made with grapes and strawberries on skewers, it’s quick and easy to put together, tastes great, and is packed with vitamins and nutrients. | Catch My Party

The food doesn’t have to be fancy. When it comes to kids’ parties, the simpler the better. They’ll go crazy for these star power sandwiches that you can make with any filling you’d like. Peanut butter is great if there are no allergies; cheese is an easy option, too. Just grab a star cookie cutter. | Sweet Haute

Set up these jars of sky jello to add a decorative (and delicious) element to your dessert table. Blue Jell-O is paired with big dollops of whipped cream to make the sky-themed treat. It looks just like the sky in the Mario games, doesn’t it? | One Little Project

Mario Party Decorations

Your guests will feel like they’ve stepped right into the video game with these decorations in your party venue. My best advice to keep it a low-cost kids’ birthday party, is to hit a discount or Dollar Tree Store for party supplies. Get some ideas of super mario birthday party decorations you want to create and then make a list of items you need. Don’t be afraid to adapt. For example, spray paint can instantly change the color of and item giving it a totally different look.

Make a bunch of these origami mushrooms to decorate the tables at your party. It will be like an entire mushroom kingdom. The kids can help you assemble them, so it should be quick work — and really frugal. | All for the Boys

This photo backdrop looks amazing and is super easy to make using a light blue tablecloth, gold dessert plates to make the gold coins, some clouds, and boxes wrapped to look like bricks. You can find many of these items at the dollar store. Tip: Turn these boxes into party favor boxes by inserting fun treats inside. | Borealis

Put a piranha plant together using cardstock and an oatmeal canister. You can make it quite large so it can be a focal point on one of your tables or as a part of a photo backdrop. This website has plenty of adorable creations and DIY Super Mario birthday party ideas for Mario and Luigi! | 5M Creations

Looking for that WOW factor? This cloud balloon arch is definitely it! Build one to put over the food table or as an entrance to your party. It’ll look fantastic in photos. | Helia Design Co.

Mario Party Games & Activities

Keep the kids entertained with games, an obstacle course, or a Yoshi egg hunt! Kids’ party games are a must for entertainment and so easy to put together.

Set up an obstacle course of white balloon ghosts to make this fun Dodge the Ghosts game! You can paint on faces or print off scary faces to make your ghosts, and add paper cones on each side for the arms. | Nestling Designs

The warp pipes are full of fun and intrigue, and this bean bag toss game is sure to get kids up and moving. Paint 5-gallon buckets green, apply Mario and Luigi stickers, grab the bean bags, and get to tossing! | Hostess With the Mostess

So many fun super mario birthday ideas in this blog post but especially fun game for kids. A few rounds of ‘Pin the Mustache on Mario’ are sure to get lots of giggles. It’s a simple game to recreate yourself using a printout of a mustache-less Mario on a magnetic board and adding a magnet to the backs of the fake mustaches. Don’t forget the blindfold! | Moments by Melissa Miller

Springtime is the perfect season for a Yoshi egg hunt. Use giant eggs for big prizes or go with the little plastic eggs you can find during the Easter season. Either way, the kids will love searching for the eggs and discovering the prizes inside. You can combine this fun idea with our birthday scavenger hunt clues. | Just Add Confetti

Mario Party Favors

Send your guests home with a small gift to say thanks for coming! Party favors can be something your party guests make together or something you prepare before the party.

Grab these printable Mario treat boxes to fill with candy, gum, stickers, or other small, fun items with the party theme. What a great way to save money on the favors! | Say Not Sweet Anne

If you’re planning your Mario party near Easter, save some of those plastic eggs to make Yoshi eggs. You can then fill them with candies or stickers to hand out as favors as the guests leave. | Our Nerd Home

You can never go wrong with chocolate. These Nintendo controller chocolate bars fit the Mario birthday party theme perfectly. They look like the original controllers from the 80’s Super Mario games – super retro! | Fab Everyday

25 Interactive Scavenger Hunt Riddles For Teens at Home

March 27, 2023 by Ashley Langston Filed Under: Birthday, Facebook, Games, Instagram, Party, Pinterest, Printable, Social Media

Get off the electronics and solve a few challenging riddles! This printable teen scavenger hunt requires brain power and fun sleuthing skills. Teenagers can solve the clues to find a prize! It can be used at a birthday party, sleepover or as a fun activity (just because)! Get ready to see some serious teamwork from the tweens ( that’s off the online game system!)

I love a good scavenger hunt. There’s just something so exciting about reading the clues, running around, and racing against the clock or someone else. Let’s just say that friendly competition is something that I thoroughly enjoy.

In addition to me, ~~a middle aged mom,~~ teens love to have fun too. And guess what?! Fun can occur off the phone and off the game system. Toss the electronics and enjoy a good ‘ole at home treasure hunt.

We’ve put together an epic scavenger hunt filled with fun riddles for teens. The good part about a printable scavenger hunt like this one is that it’s all done and ready for you. You don’t have to stress out thinking about challenging scavenger hunt clues. You don’t have to be a a mission to think of something clever to write that rhymes. We’ve done the hard work for you!

This fun activity for teens is as simple as downloading, printing, and letting the scavenger hunt games begin!

May the odds forever be in your favor!

What are the rules of a scavenger hunt?

Oh! You want rules and some guidance. Sorry, I thought for a second I was dealing with teenagers. Really, the great thing about a teen scavenger hunt is that you can have a basis for the rules, but they’re more than likely going to make some up on their own! The biggest thing to remember is that some printable cards and clues basically tell them what to look for – and that is the only rule that there is…. look for the next clue card until you get to the end.

If you have a lot of teens participating, it might be wise to create some basic ground rules like “no running in the house!” I might add in a few personal rules like “get along” and “don’t wreck mom’s house.” You can split the game up some, like player one finds the first clue, player two the second, etc. so everyone gets a chance to participate.

Other than those simple rules, the game is self-lead… let the games begin!

Printable Teen Scavenger Hunt Clues

The fun part about these clues is that they’re made just for teens! Have them work their brains and try to figure out where the next clue is hidden – and don’t give them any help (or at least for a while.) The hunt comes with answers to the riddles too (in case you find your are stumped as well.)

The more teens that are playing, the funnier it gets. This is because sometimes, more pots in the kitchen make that space too crowded. Who will have the right idea about where the next clue is? You’ll have to sit back and relax and watch to find out.

Supplies

You don’t need a huge list of items for supplies to do this printable activity for teens! I’ve made it easy as possible to print instantly and go!

Printer (with ink)
Printer paper or cardstock paper (my favorite set)
Laminator (optional – I love this one)
Teen Scavenger Hunt Printable Cards

Where are good places to hide scavenger hunt clues?

In our printable scavenger hunt, we have listed all the locations. Some great places for clue hiding are:

In a mailbox
In a utensil drawer
Under the bed
In the washing machine
In the refrigerator
On the stairs
In the microwave

And those are just a few options. Use the clues to be your guide to uncover all 25 of the hidden treasure hunt locations.

How can this scavenger hunt be used?

Use this scavenger hunt for a holiday or special occasion. If hosting a family birthday, each clue might have a new birthday present to unwrap. This could quickly become a family tradition. Save this particular hunt for your tween. Use an outdoor treasure hunt, indoor scavenger hunt, or even a scavenger hunt birthday party for the other members to find their presents during the rest of the year.

Other great times for a scavenger hunt include…

Teen birthday party (find the party favors)
Sleepover
Uncover a surprise family vacation
Find all the laundry you’ve been begging them to put away
Building problem solving skills
Create a fun memory with siblings
Explore a new house
Just because

Are these hard scavenger hunt clues?

Yes and no. These are challenging scavenger hunt riddles for teens. They are not meant for younger kids. Initially they will be hard scavenger hunt clues, however once your children get the hang of solving these rhyming riddles, they likely will get into a rhythm of guessing quickly. If you have a group of younger kids, pair them with older kids.

Want a variation with a harder modern twist? One fun way to add a bit of an additional challenge is to test the scavenger hunt yourself. See how long it takes you in your dwelling and then challenge the players with a time limit (less than what it took you.) Set a timer. On your mark, get set, go! Racing against the clock adds a bit of excitement.

What are some of the scavenger hunt riddles for teens?

Need a little sneak peek? Here are just a few of the riddles for teens clues that you’ll find on these printable cards.

I’m not a selfie but I do show faces. Find me in a bathroom and a few other places.

I get bigger when I eat a fibrous treat, but die weakter with a drink that makes me obsolete.

Until you get your license to drive a car, my gears are your best means of traveling far.

Super cute, right? These clues for a scavenger hunt are written in riddle form and are challenging for teens but not too hard. The clues give them just enough of an idea to use their critical thinking skills and then figure the rest of the teen riddle out.

Where can I get an at home scavenger hunt for teens?

This Teen Scavenger Hunt printable set is found in our Frugal Coupon Living shop or Etsy Store.

What makes this teenage scavenger hunt set apart from the rest? It isn’t a scavenger hunt list you check with clues. It’s a series of clue cards that behave like trivia. Brain power is needed.

This scavenger hunt includes the clues and answers – if at any time you get stumped. If there are answers that do not fit your home (for example, you do not have a bicycle, leave that clue out of the treasure hunt. It won’t shorten the length as there are a lot of clues for many items found in your home.

Check out these ideas for the best and cutest camping party you’ve ever seen.

Camping Birthday Party Food

S’mores campfire cones are a delicious idea for your dessert table. Provide waffle cones, chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows, wrap in foil, and pop them on the grill or in the fire pit for a few minutes. They’ll be a big hit with kids and adults alike! For variations on the recipe, add butterscotch chips, chopped strawberries, etc. You can set up a s’mores station so everyone can personalize their cone. | Frugal Coupon Living

If you’re planning a bonfire for your camp theme birthday party, these camping hot dogs are a must! They’re so easy to make using just hot dogs and crescent rolls. Provide ketchup or mustard to squeeze onto the dogs (optional) as well as cheese dip or barbecue sauce in individual cups for dipping. They’re delicious and filling, and you don’t even need a plate to eat them! | Frugal Coupon Living

This S’mores snack mix would make a great favor or take-home snack for your party guests, but it’s great for munching on while you mingle, too. Toasting the marshmallows gives this snack that S’mores vibe, but you can add them to the mix without toasting them, too. | Cincy Shopper

Walking tacos are an easy main dish to serve at your party with minimal mess to clean up. For this camping-themed party food, pile all your taco toppings into a bag of crushed Doritos or Fritos, grab a fork, and you’re ready to mingle while enjoying your tacos. They’re so good and don’t even require dishes. This fun camping food is an excellent camping party idea for adults or kids! | Frugal Coupon Living

These mini camping cookies are adorable! Set some out on the dessert table or wrap them in cellophane and tie them with a ribbon to hand out as favors at the end of the party. They’re easier to make than you think. Start with cut-out sugar cookie dough, and make royal icing in several different colors. Grab some camping-themed cookie cutters, and you’re all set. | The Decorated Cookie

Make pond water punch for the kids to drink! It’s a mix of blue Kool-aid and Sprite, but any blue drink you’d like works great. Add some fishing floats (and perhaps even a few gummy fish) to complete the look. So cool! | Surviving A Teacher’s Salary

These tent and campfire treats look as yummy as they are cute. They’re made with simple pantry ingredients you probably already have on hand, like peanut butter, Ritz crackers, and fruit roll-ups. If you don’t like chocolate raisins, you could use chocolate chips to make the stones around the campfire instead. The tent is made with graham crackers and caramel apple wrap. How brilliant is that? | She Knows

A trail mix bar is an absolutely genius idea for a camping party. Provide canisters of mini marshmallows, M&Ms, pretzels, cereal, chocolate chips, nuts, etc., for each child to make their own perfect trail mix. | And Everything Sweet

Cakes for a Camping Birthday Party

Birthday cakes make amazing centerpieces. Your guests will definitely ooh and ahh over this amazing lumberjack cake that’s made to look like a log and an ax. The surprise is the buffalo plaid interior. How fun! The peanut butter cracker cookies shown in this post are also terrific for a camping party. | Jenny Cookies (seen in our Father’s Day Cake Ideas)

Chocolate, graham cracker crumbs, and toasted marshmallows come together in these cute, easy, and delicious S’more cupcakes. The Teddy Graham and Hershey bar toppers are ultra-cute! This idea is simple enough that you can use a boxed cake mix and store-bought frosting instead of made-from-scratch if you’re short on time. | Tastes of Lizzy T

What could be more appropriate for a backyard camping birthday party cake than a campfire cake? This one is made with sugar glass for the campfire flames, rolled chocolate wafer sticks for the campfire logs, and a yummy chocolate frosting for the cake. | Simone Made It

What about having individual caping birthday party cakes? Campfire cupcakes are another terrific cake idea for a camp-themed birthday party, and they’re easy to make. You’ll need chocolate cupcakes (store-bought or homemade are both fine), chocolate and red frosting, mini marshmallows (optional), and pretzel sticks. | The Typical Mom

There are loads of great camping cake and cupcake ideas in this post, but the ones that caught our eye are the woodland animals’ cupcakes. You’ll need to be really great at working with fondant to recreate them, but there are other ways to do this, too! Use woodland animal paper cupcake toppers, or make or order some small woodland animal cookies to put on top. | Kara’s Party Ideas

There are so many cute details going on with this camping party that it’s difficult to choose just one idea, but a favorite is the teepee campfire cake. The cake looks like a log, and the fondant campfire and teepee sit on top. You should also check out the centerpieces and the canteen party favors. | Hostess with the Mostess

Camping Birthday Party Décor

Turn bandanas into a party banner to drape from the front of a table, from the ceiling, or above a doorway. You can purchase bandanas inexpensively from most dollar stores, so it’s an easy and fun decoration to put together. Add some greenery by clipping some branches from one of your trees, too. | Design Dazzle

Make the party for your happy camper comes together in no time with these printable camping party cupcake toppers. They feature cute and simple designs with tents, compasses, trees, canoes, and more that’ll go great with any camping theme. | Alice and Lois

A pinecone garland would make a festive piece of décor for a camping party, plus you can reuse it again for the winter holidays! You’ll need some jute ribbon or twine, hooks, and pinecones. For these camping party decorations, it’ll be even more special if you go round up the pinecones from your own backyard! | Redeem Your Ground

Add some greenery to the décor by placing pine branches in galvanized pails or vases embellished with a plaid ribbon. The wooden slice underneath and pine cones in front complete the look. | Studio DIY

Make some campsite signs to show your guests the way to the party! This is such a cute idea, and while I typically see it with wood, making your signs with cardboard is a great party sign alternative if you want to keep expenses down or aren’t handy with a saw and a wood burner. | The Busy Broad

Worried about having a real fire with little ones around? Make a faux campfire with sticks and red, orange, and yellow tissue paper. This idea would also be brilliant as a centerpiece at the dining tables (but on a smaller scale). | Rockin’ Boys

Camping Birthday Party Favors

How fun are these tacklebox favors? They’re filled with gummy worms and wrapped with twine and a fishing bobber with a tag that reads, “Thanks for making my party reel fun.” | Must Have Mom

Make some bandana sacks for the kids to take home. You can fill them with goodies or a few of your favorite things like gummy worms, goldfish, cookies, binoculars, candy, canteens, etc., and they’ll think it’s super cool that they can carry their sacks over their shoulders. Instead of using wooden dowels, consider picking up a few twigs in the yard for a rustic look. They make adorable birthday camping party favors but can also be used to wrap the special guy/gal’s gifts. | Kara’s Party Ideas

Camping Birthday Party Games and Activities

Let the kids make lanterns with glow sticks! This is a safe way for kids to enjoy the lantern experience. If you’re worried about glass jars, provide plastic ones instead. The kids will need some assistance with the wire hangers, or you could attach those to the jars before the party starts. | Frugal Coupon Living

Kick the party off with a fun nature scavenger hunt to entertain the kids. It’s a great activity if you have your party in a woodsy area, but you can simplify the list if you’re hosting the party in an area without many trees, sticks, etc., too. | Frugal Mom Eh! (As seen in our Scavenger Hunts for Kids)

Camping games and charades will have kids and adults alike in fits of laughter. These are easy and fun games for all ages. Print, gather supplies, and play. For the camping scavenger hunt, stick the clues in a jar or bowl, and have each guest come up to act out a scene. You can divide into teams if you want or have a free-for-all. Also, consider these lake games, just add lake water! | Frugal Coupon Living

If you have an outdoor birthday party, consider taking your party go-ers on a camping scavenger hunt around the campsite. Omit whichever camping scavenger hunt clues don’t fit your camping party décor. As they read rhyming riddles and find new clues, you can lead them to find their camping party favors or camping-themed prizes. | Frugal Coupon Living

Camping Bingo is another fun game that’s great for kids of all ages. It’s in picture form, so even toddlers and preschoolers can join in. If you’re hosting this party outside, use small pebbles as your Bingo markers. It’ll add to the theme and help hold down your game sheets. | Glue Sticks & Gumdrops (seen in our Bingo Printables for Kids)

Every happy camper needs a good walking stick to use while hiking and exploring. Let the kids create their own painted walking sticks to take on their adventures. | The DIY Dreamer

Burst the Atom – This game involves balloons and everyone around tries to pop the balloons. Guarantees an eruption of laughter.

Slimey – This game on the printable is so much fun because kids get to do a science experiment. Plus slime makes a fun science party favor.
