Preteen Party Time
Throw a Supermodel Bash
By Kendeyl Johansen
Your MC might say, "Beautiful Brittany is in the 6th grade and attends Willowcrest Middle School. She likes 'N Sync, gymnastics and a blonde boy in her Spanish class. She's wearing a tie-dyed crewneck shirt and red A-line skirt."
After the girls answer their questions, usher them into the dressing room. Give them plenty of time to primp. Crank up the music to let the models know that the fashion show is about to begin. Once the girls are lined up and ready, have the MC announce the first supermodel.
The girls will love pirouetting down the ramp and swooning for the camera. Have each girl pose at the end of the ramp for a photo or two.
The MC should announce "It's a wrap!" when the girls finish modeling. Send the announcer to a nearby 1-hour photo lab to develop the film while the supermodels celebrate their successful fashion show. The girls will feast on pizza and cake, sip faux champagne, make a picture frame, and before they know it, the pictures will be back.
- Cardboard picture frame
- Colored buttons
- Faux jewels and/or beads
- Glitter
- Sequins
- Glue
Glue buttons and jewels onto the picture frame. Add sparkle with glitter and sequins. Let each girl choose a picture from the show to put into her frame, and several other photos to take home with her
