DJ Gig Log: Fun Bat Mitzvah!

[@craigparry282]

Never done any bar or bat mitzvahs but done so many kids parties over the years and this event brought back so many memories. A lot of the games shown in this video I remember including (or variations thereof) for kids party events . A BIG well done Kevin for keeping them all entertained and happy for so long. I know how difficult it is to keep them engaged and interested. I usually dj'ed and entertained for a max of 2 hours (occasionally maybe slightly longer) but it looks like you had to keep going for several hours with this event. That takes some doing and I bet you were quite worn out and tired afterwards. It's a great feeling to see them all enjoying themselves but I'm hoping that I can cut back on these type of events whenever I return to dj'ing. Kids parties were the most popular event for me before but it would be nice to focus more on other events in the future. You must have had to budget for all those prizes!? I got a bit worried when you told them all to go and get some forks but it looked like it was hard to come up with names of items. Other fun games I've found in the past include The Mummy game, relays, party dance routines (with the dj joining in!), pinata, pin the tail and pass the balls in a circle (similar to pass the parcel with running around the circle, back to your space instead of unwrapping).

Thanks Craig! I had fun playing games here. I like mitzvahs but they’re challenging in that they are half a teen party, half an adult party.

Great video and your mic skills are on point. Question, did you do games before the introductions? What was your general timeline for the night?

[@SmilestonesDJAdventures]

Thanks !! Yes a game or 2 before intros, and then after of course. I'd say they are best sprinkled throughout the night. general timeline is: welcome/cocktail hour, intros, hora, welcome speech, dinner, candle ceremony, video montage, deserts, dancing. games sprinkled in as mentioned.
