Musical Chairs
Add a little Bieber to this all-time favorite game and the kids are sure to have a blast. All you need to do is upload their favorite Bieber hits, just a few, and so the game goes. Chances are you are going to have numerous chairs already out, so all you will need to do is position them in a circle facing out. Play a minute of a Bieber song, stop it for a second, play it for ten seconds, then stop, and so on. As a parent you may find this quite comical! For the winner, make sure you stick to the theme and give out a Justin Bieber CD, party favors or anything else that relates to him. If you want to go a little crazy, perhaps Justin Bieber concert tickets would suffice.

Dance Off
This fun challenge will depend on the gender and age of the children attending the party. Chances are if they are older boys, they will not be so willing to have a dance competition, although you never know! Split the kids into a few different groups depending on how many kids there are and have them pick a Justin Bieber song out of a hat. They will then have a certain amount of time (completely up to you) to come up with a dance to that assigned song. Be sure not to give them too much time. Allow then to each perform and include a few judges. May the best group win!

Name That Tune
You can play this game a few different ways. You can either have the attendees guess the name of the song as you play them from your MP3 player, or for more of a challenge, have them finish off the lyrics to a line in the song. If you want to go the "name that tune" route, be sure to switch the order of the songs on the CD. Also include newer songs or songs that aren't as popular as others. Just as you memorized the exact song order of your favorite bands tape growing up, so will they!

These few games are fun, easy to play, and cost next to nothing (depending on the prize of course). Chances are your Bieber party will be filled with big fans so don't go into shock when a song comes on and they scream in excitement.

If you want to take a journey added back, the elegance of Mozart or Strauss brings the glittering ballrooms of 18th and 19th century Europe into view, while a Bransle played on a lute or crumhorn takes you back to banquets held in great timbered halls in Medieval times.
