I have found that some older kids can really enjoy these things and others see it as lame. It depends on the child.
I've also noticed a trend that the pre-teen group sees it as lame and the older teen group can have lots of fun with it. I think that when you're around 11 or 12 they feel the pressure to prove they are too old for this! Then when they're actually teenagers, like around 16, they enjoy it and don't feel embarrassed because it's obvious they don't really believe. At least that's what I've observed.
