Pre-teen Co-Ed Success - Outing Ideas at Kaleidoscope Mission Viejo

Tween Night Out... When Where What... Ideas for Success!

 

I don't know about you but the thought of wanting to plan a tween night out can be scary.  

 

These tweens today are so much more advanced and have so much pressure, I always want to keep the outings age appropriate yet fun. Kaleidoscope was a hit... 

 

With tweens it's also important to me to support coed friendships.

 



 

When the kids are friends just hanging out building friendships and strong trust worthy relationships with both guys and girls I feel that it keeps them supported with a go to group. 

 

A few weekends ago we decided to try a coed tween night out.

 

Starting at Laser Quest the group had an awesome time playing 2 rounds plus some arcade games. The timing of each round is perfect for a quick game play prior to dinner or an additional game while waiting for dinner. 

 



 

Since we had at least one adult within the mix, in our case two, it was easy to keep a distance yet keep an eye on the tweens. 

 

Laser Quest is perfect for small group or larger groups too and they even have an escape room you can play. 

 

Perfect for November...  Laser Quest at Kaleidoscope has teamed up with Summit Entertainment on a couple of exciting Robin Hood promotions (opening in theaters November 21.)
