Too cool for party games........age 9!!

Hi everyone.


My question is, would you accept that, and just play the music, or would you still try a couple of games (it may be her friends are up for it)?

Thanks in advance.

Mike.

i would happily except it and just play music, that is what they have asked for, you could totally ruin the girls birthday party if you decide to play games without them asking you to( how would you feel if you booked a dj and told him not to do something and he decided on the night to do it anyway because he knows best). if you are not happy to do that then don't take the gig.

Okay,

Play music for an hour. If it's going well...carry on.

If it's dragging and the kids are bored, speak to the Mum and ask her if you can play a few games. She may speak to her daughter and explain.

Take a few prizes with you just in case.

So, if a client specifically said no cheese at a function, you'd go and play loads would you - in case some of the other guests liked it?

Solitaire, My reply before yours came in was going to be that there have been posts on here where at weddings for instance, the client has asked for no cheese and where something like YMCA has been played, it has totaly lifted the night.

The client has asked for no party games, there is no way I would ignore her request, but as some of the posts have suggested, I may just test the temperature of the water, if it is going a bit flat.

So that justifies playing it, does it?

Anyone else here not that surprised that a 9 year old girl doesnt want party games??

No.

A few months back I did a 10 year olds birthday and they still enjoyed Musical bumps etc.

They get bored after 30 minutes. They'd get restless after 2 hours of constant music.

I'm not surprised.

Some will want them and some won't. Some kids are more mature at that age.

My son is 10 and I'm not sure he'd really be into party games.

You can't generalise and say 'all' kids would be bored after an hour or two of music.

[MikeW]

I really don't mind either way. What I want to do is give the girl the best party possible.

It is easier to just play the music, if thats what she wants.

I agree. If they said no games, then no games. They are the client after all.

Yes just play the charts and have an easy evening
Bubble and smoke with requests should keep them occupied too.

Kids are different these days and the cut off age I have found is much lower.
Girls just want to look cool and show off - and with mobile media, X factor they are happy with chart music IMO.

i only do games for five years old and under as they have the attention span of a newt.
Not sure what the attention span of a next is but i am guessing its not very much?
