Sports Themes and Ideas

Video of the Day

A teenage boy is often involved in sports. Use the birthday boy's interest or involvement in sports as an inspiration for a birthday theme. If the 15-year-old boy is interested in football, create a football party for him and his buddies. Turn on the TVs in the house to football games. Let guests play touch football and serve pizza.

Video of the Day

For a birthday boy who enjoys all sports, consider an all-sports theme. Set up several televisions around the party venue. Play a different sport on each television. Use a variety of sport ball images in decorations and engage the guests in a game of touch football, shooting baskets or even some batting practice.

Hobby-Inspired Themes and Ideas

By the time most boys turn 15, they have tried a few hobbies and have narrowed their interests to one or two activities they enjoy. If the boy is a musician, for instance, consider a party around that theme. Host the party in a garage and use a "garage band" theme. Have a drum- or guitar-shaped cake. Make "band logo" T-shirts to give as favors.
