Comments on: How do you entertain a bunch of teenagers for a few hours? http://mumsgather.com/2007/02/12/how-do-you-entertain-a-bunch-of-teenagers-for-a-few-hours/ My very own mini, personalised, parenting resource. A cyber filing cabinet of parenting articles and links. I love sharing my children's favourite sites, online games, crafts and exchanging childcare stories and parenting issues faced with other parents.

The kids ran about all over the house and played happily amongst themselves. The teenagers whom I was worried about entertaining, entertained themselves. Two of them came with their guitars and they sat in the corner of the living room and sang their hearts away. It was great. They had nice voices, they enjoyed singing, and I had live entertainment or music. Two others asked for a pack of playing cards which someone suggested in my comments section and they went off to play happily. [...] [...] My house was truly warmed up that evening.

When they are teenagers they pretty much just like to hang out. Perhaps you could find out if one of them have a gaming system, and have them bring it. Anything pretty much words. All the best! Have fun! :) <strong>Thanks for the great tips Gina. :)</strong> I had 9 teenagers in my home for the New Year, they entertained themselves by playing Twister, other various board games, being complete clowns, listening to music and eating.. goodness do they love to eat.

Where you try to hit the puck with your fingers and sink them into the nets at the corner of the board, that way when your guest leave, you and hubby can play oso your young kids can play too. I bet they would love it. <strong>They have that at home so they're probably bored with it by now.
