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

We always have the limbo poles in the Galaxy - sod's law states if we take them in we never use them, if we leave them outside we have to dash out and grab them. I got a set from e-Bay and tarted them up a bit, they work great.

Glad the gig was a success - I'm sure it was never in doubt!

Cheers, Paul ;o)

If you did forget them.

Get joe on the floor and a broom out the cleaning cupboard and bobs your uncle.

Do you take tambourines etc. like steve too?

Tambourine and whistle - old school staples ;o)

I did a 10 YO party today and they had said no games, just disco and maybe some balloons…. The approach I always use is to talk to the kids and ask them what they want (obviously, tell the parents upon booking that you will bring everything and just see what works best on the day).

I ended up doing balloons, blink murder, spin the bottle, bring me a (grown up’s shoe etc), inflatable guitar rock star competition, dance off and the word association game with Pinky Punky (Mallets Mallet).

The last thing you want is the boys fighting at the back and the girls standing around doing nothing at the front, get them going… I do an average of 6-7 kids parties a week and the parents rarely know what the kids will like. Don’t forget they often haven’t met any of the other 30 odd guests before.

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

The "few" kids parties I have done were for around the same age group and I never did games because they didnt want them. They are at an age where they want to start acting all grown up and kids games would seem childish to them, as daft as it sounds

If the client has said no that leave it at that and just give them a banging playlist

I would not play the games but would introduce party dances,Casper slide ect,If that went down well then I would ask both the Mum and Birthday girl to oblige in Limbo near the end,If they still say no the thats your answer,
