Kids Bday Party. How many tokens per kid?

[ilovefh]

We're having DS's birthday party at a big indoor arcade place. The oldest kid is 5 and the youngest is 3. Most games are 1 token. The party is 2 hours including pizza and cake. How many tokens per child would you give?

Just had my DD's party last weekend at a chuck-e-cheese type place here, and gave each kid $5 in tokens. There were only two other kid guests, a 6 yo and an 8 yo. Dd turned 4. Everyone seemed happy with that, and it took them about 30 minutes to burn through them and redeem their tickets. Lol.

How much are the tokens? How much time will they have to play games? I'm guessing 10 tokens per guest (or $5 worth).

I would do 10 tokens too

This reads like a math word problem. Lol. I agree with others, 10 sounds fine.

Depends...

Is there a climbing structure or just games? If there is some sort of climbing structure I would go with 10. If the only thing to do is play games, I would give them 20 tokens.

Yes straight from a common core boxed curriculum

There is no play structure but a lot of games, think 4 times as big as a Chuck E a Cheese. Coins are 4/$1. Although I paid less because I used a coupon like a Groupon type thing.

I would start them out with 10, but would have more on hand and give them out accordingly.

I did that at Chuck E Cheese years ago. I purchased a bunch of extra token using coupons. I made up little baggies to give out to either siblings or the kids who ran out.

Probably 10 but I would have an extra 10 per kid in case they were needed.
