Nice ideas. I believe Shmuel Yehuda has on occassion done a treasure hunt in conjunction with his pieces which would be appropriate for bar mitzvah groups. I have also seen some nice projects taking advantage of children’s abilities such as by creating illustrated Haggadot/Megillot with commentaries.

I am going to include a link to your post on my blog- i have a bunch of blog posts that are useful for planning bar/bat mitzvahs and other smachot. These may be of use to your readers. For instance:
About arevut bnai mitzvah video contest – http://birkatchaverim.com/wordpress/?p=543
Doing a clothing swap- http://birkatchaverim.com/wordpress/?p=125
Other ideas for Bat Mitzvah – http://birkatchaverim.com/wordpress/?p=946
in addition to a variety of general craft ideas which are fun to make in a group and can be made both to take home and as donations for appropriate organizations. I’m always looking for new ideas so thanks for the post.

True, Nina. I don’t know many 13-year-olds who would be comfortable with that project.
