[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A playground party for 5 y/os where the hosts thought that just the fact of being at a playground would be enough to keep them all engaged and happy for the duration of the party. I'm not saying that they needed professional entertainment, but it would have been nice if they'd organized some group games or provided sidewalk chalk, bubbles, and things like that. [/quote]

For kids who love playgrounds I could see this lasting for hours. What went wrong? Was your child bored?[/quote]

This was in NYC and with a group of kids who normally spend time on city playgrounds after school. Maybe they were disappointed that the party was just ice cream and cake at the playground? It was just a weird vibe that day and none of the kids were happy with it until one of the moms took over and got them playing interactive games. I think the host parents were counting on the fountains being on that day and they weren't, and the particular playground was small and did not have much equipment. [/quote]

I've been to many playground parties in DC, some even at the very playground the kids play at for recess every day. They are never anything less than thrilled. [/quote]
