If you're throwing a "Hunger Games" party for kids, teens, college kids, or 20-somethings, you'll need a couple of activities to throw into the mix - something other than "pin the tail on the tribute" or "battle to the death."

Archery Games:s Katniss Everdeen is famous for her prowess with a bow and arrow, so hire an archery instructor to teach a little "Hunger Games 101." If there isn't an archery club in your area, try contacting your local park or scouts organization. Instructors generally have their own equipment, targets, and a very clear list of safety requirements, including site inspection and lighting (which may end up shifting your evening party to an afternoon). Something new and exciting is to rent archery games that can be delivered right to your party or event. We found this amazing archery game featuring safety arrows and an inflatable backstop with floating balls that you can use to test your shooting skills. This game can be used indoors or out and looks like a lot of fun for any age group or location. 

Inflatable Obstacle Course: When actress Kristen Bell threw herself a "Hunger Games" party, she brought in huge inflatable games, including a bouncy house she dubbed The Capitol. Even better: rent a giant inflatable obstacle course, a bungee run and jousting game, if space permits.

Outdoor MoviesThere's just something about watching a movie outdoors, while lounging on pillows and blankets, that's cool. Use a laptop and laptop projector to screen your flicks - the "Hunger Games" movie trailers, soundtrack music videos and (in six months or so) the movie DVD - on a giant inflatable screen, or use a plain white wall or king-sized white sheet.

Painted Shoes: If you're interested in incorporating crafts into the festivities, a canvas shoe project can be pretty fabulous. Guests bring a pair of white Vans, Keds,s or other canvas sneakers. You provide fine-tip Sharpie markers in a variety of colors, newspaper to crumple into the toes, and artistic inspiration - logos, phrases or images. This winter, there were several "Hunger Games" canvas shoes for sale on Etsy - perfect inspiration, in other words - but they sold out almost instantly. Check out these really cool shoes on Etsy.
