When I was about 9 or 10 we had non-alcoholic cocktails with fun names and umbrellas and fruit etc in the glasses which my friends all thought was 'ultra-sophisticated'.

We also used to play silly games like 'kipper flapping' You cut out some pieces of paper in the shape of fish, and have to flap them along the floor with a rolled up newspaper in races. Sounds daft but it had us all collapsing in laughter.

You can also play simple games like passing a polo mint from one person to another view straw you're holding between your teeth. Again, something that makes you collapse in giggles, but I'm not sure how it would go down at a mixed party. Depends how shy of the opposite sex 9 year olds are, I suppose.
