Entertaining Tip of the Week

A Tip for a Great Teen Party

By , About.com Guide

Teens can sometimes be a tough audience to please. After all, they're too old for childish entertainment and games, and they're dying to look cool. But with all of that coolness in the air, a teen party can get pretty dull unless you find a way to get them active and involved with the party.

One of the easiest things you can do is to hire a DJ for your party. You'll want the DJ to know and bring along all of the latest popular songs. The DJ should have the skills to get the group dancing and participating in games. Kiddie games such as musical chairs or hot potato suddenly become fun again when they are played to current hit tunes. A limbo contest, conga line and even freeze dance will relax the group and keep the party from becoming too cool for fun.
