Costume Contest: If you're looking to have a bit of fun this summer, invite some friends over and tell them to pack a suitcase full of interesting items not only from their closets, but from their parents as well - if they can get away with it. When they arrive, paw through the clothing to see what items are available for this fun dress up.
Your goal is to create a costume. Only you will know what the costume is supposed to be until you unveil it to your friends. You might also provide cardboard and construction paper to the group to use if they need to make accessories to help make the costume more real. This is even more fun if you work in pairs so there is someone to share ideas with.
Dig through the clothes and piece together an outfit that suits your character. Perhaps you're a princess or a mermaid. Be creative - you might be a soldier or anything that strikes your fancy. You should get into the act as much as possible, but try and keep it all secret until the last minute.
Then everyone gets dressed and comes out for a grand unveiling. You should probably take turns being in the spotlight as that is much more fun, and be sure to take pictures for posterity. If you're really a good planner, you can invite a large group of friends over and have a costume party - not just a contest.
