If you’re planning a birthday party for a boy aged 7–12, you’ll probably already know that the birthday boy has very definite ideas about what is “cool” — while Mum is usually thinking about how much work it’s all going to involve!
A mobile gaming van can be a brilliant option because the entertainment comes to you. There’s no need to hire a hall, organise loads of party games or worry quite so much about keeping everyone entertained.
Make the gaming the main event
For this age group, gaming works best when the children can play together rather than simply sitting quietly playing individual games.
Team games, racing challenges and friendly competitions are great because they give everyone something to get involved with. It also helps if the games can be changed during the party, so the group doesn’t get bored.
Keep the rest of the party simple
You really don’t need to build an entire birthday extravaganza around the gaming.
A simple combination of gaming, birthday cake and some easy party food is often more than enough. The gaming provides the main activity, so there’s much less pressure on you to organise entertainment.
Think about the practical stuff
Before booking, check that there’s suitable parking outside your home or venue. You don’t need to worry about the weather — particularly here in South Wales, we party in all weathers!
A good mobile gaming company should take care of the setup and running of the gaming session, leaving you free to enjoy the birthday rather than constantly checking what the children are doing.
Gaming Squad has been bringing mobile gaming parties to families across South Wales, including Cardiff, Barry and the surrounding areas, for years. The team knows exactly what works for this age group — and, perhaps most importantly, what makes a party easier for the parents too.
If your son would rather battle his friends on a console than play traditional party games, a mobile gaming van could be just the birthday solution you’ve been looking for.
