Good Luck Dancing.
These Boys Want To Win!
Teams. Brackets. A champion. And kids who sleep like the dead that night.

Always Building Champions
Every boy in that yard gets a shot at being the best at something today. Not the fastest kid. Not the loudest kid. Somebody’s going to be a champion at a game he’s never played before, and he’s going to remember it.
Same host, same games, three completely different feels. Pick the one that suits the group and I build the afternoon around it.
★ The big one ★
Everything, turned all the way up.
The full effects build. CO2 dance floor cannons, confetti cannons, cold sparks and every big activation we own, plus the photo booth and karaoke, all included in the one program. This is the party the other parents ask you about afterwards, and the one that ends up on Instagram.
Best for: Milestone birthdays, and any party you want people talking about.
One winner. Everybody plays for it.
Straight competition, boy against boy. A signup sheet goes out before the party so the kids pick which games they want in, and you know the lineup before anybody arrives. On the day they go at it head to head, game after game, and one of them walks away the champion.
Best for: Older boys, and any group that already has a competitive streak.
Red against blue. One team takes it.
The room splits into two teams and everything runs as a team game from there. One team wins and takes the better prizes, the other team takes second place prizes. Nobody goes home empty handed, and the shy kid is carried along by four teammates yelling his name.
Best for: Mixed groups, wide age ranges, and any party where you want everyone included.
No competition. Everyone takes the same prize home.
The games still run, the energy is still loud, but nothing is scored. Every kid takes home the same prize for taking part. This is the one to pick for younger boys, for a group that does not know each other yet, or when you would simply rather nobody lost anything on their birthday.
Best for: Younger boys and first time groups.
Any program can be run with the Viva Boom effects package added, and any of them can be built around the Super Mario Party theme. Travel outside the Lower Mainland and stat holiday dates are quoted separately.
Here’s how a boys party actually goes.
Before the day, we settle on which way you want it run. Full competition with a champion at the end, teams going head to head, or nobody keeping score and everyone taking the same prize home. That decision shapes everything else, and it’s yours to make, not mine.
Then on the day, the first ten minutes are the whole job. If the boys decide they like me inside those ten minutes, I have them for the rest of the afternoon. If I miss that window, I spend the next two hours chasing them. So that is where all the effort goes.
And the first kid I look for is the shy one. Every group has him. He is hanging back, he is not sure about any of this, and left alone he will still be standing there in an hour. He gets pulled in first, usually by handing him something loud. Firing the cannon. Starting the countdown. Something that makes the other boys look at him.
Once that kid is in, the rest of the party takes care of itself. Then it is games, or competition, or whichever way you chose to run it.
It opens with Draft Day. Captains get picked, teams get drafted, and suddenly every kid in the yard is on a squad with a name and something to lose. That one move does more for a party than any decoration ever has. The kid who would have stood by the fence for two hours now has four teammates yelling his name.
Then it’s competition, back to back, five to eight minutes a game. Long enough to get good. Short enough that nobody gets bored. Dance battles. Speed games. A water gun. A t-shirt cannon.
There’s a cake break in the middle where you do your thing and the gear gets reset. Then the back half, which is the loud half.
And it ends with a finale, a prize table, and a birthday boy standing in the middle of it.
Two and a half hours. One host. You don’t lift anything, set up anything, or break up anything.
Twenty five of them, and the list gets built around the ages and the space you’ve got. Dance battles, cannon showdowns, speed games and the ones nobody sees coming.
Themed package
Built for the kids who are obsessed with the games. Same show, same energy, wrapped in a world they already know inside out.
The thing that makes this one different is the currency. Every game pays out golden coins. Win a round, get coins. Lose a round, still get coins. Show up, try, make everyone laugh, get coins. They pile up all afternoon and get cashed at a prize table at the end, tiered so the small stuff is cheap and the hero prize costs real money.
Which means the kid who came dead last in the dance battle is still grinding in hour two, because he’s forty coins from the thing he actually wants.
Nobody leaves with nothing. Nobody cries. And the energy doesn’t fall off a cliff at the ninety minute mark.
You stock the prize table, I’ll tell you exactly what to buy and at what tiers.

“Absolutely Love Mike as our party kids dj for my son's birthday. He's super funny, energetic, and engaging and I would highly recommend him to any event”
“If you're looking for a kids' party that is full of fun, look no further! DJ Mike from Party Pros Vancouver Kids was AMAZING! He had the kids dancing, laughing, playing games, and having the best time from start to finish.…”
“I've been to multiple events that Mike has DJ'd, from weddings, to surprise parties to events at my kids school. Every time im blown away with the games and setup he brings and the way he interacts with everyone.…”
Six to eleven is the sweet spot. Under six, the competition format is too much and you want the softer version. Over eleven, it stays great but the games shift, more bracket, less silly. Tell me the age spread and I’ll build to it.
No, and this is the part I’m proudest of. Shy kids don’t get pulled to the front and put on the spot. They get put on a team, where they’re contributing without being the centre of attention. Most of them are volunteering by hour two. The team format exists specifically for this.
Both work. Backyard is better for the cannon and the water gun. Indoors I swap those for the space you’ve got. Tell me the room and I’ll adjust the game list, not the energy.
We move indoors or under cover, and the game list changes. This is Vancouver, I plan for it. The party doesn’t get cancelled and it doesn’t get worse, it just gets different.
You stock the table, I tell you exactly what to get and at what price tiers. It’s the cheapest part of the party and it does the most work.
Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam, New Westminster, Surrey and the rest of the Lower Mainland. Further out is doable, just quoted with travel.
