Kids disco for school parties

A party for the youngest pupils needs a different approach from one for older children. Simple dances and familiar songs work well with young children. Older pupils enjoy current hits, dancing together and a little challenge.

Where possible, split a large school party into age groups. Each group can then enjoy music and activities that suit them. Include the classes and proposed times in your enquiry so we can help plan the sessions.

One possible grouping: Dutch school groups 1–2 first, then 3–5 and finally 6–8. This is an example, not a fixed timetable. Adjust the blocks to your numbers, breaks and chosen show duration.

Still deciding? Read whether younger and older pupils should dance together or separately, including a changeover planning example.

Indoors, provide a clear, level dance floor with enough space. Keep walkways and emergency exits clear. Tell us how the DJ can reach the room and whether there are stairs.

Outdoors, plan for the weather. Discuss a dry, sheltered place for the DJ and equipment and an alternative for bad weather. Agree on power, setup time and any sound restrictions in advance.

• A suitable space and access for setup.
• Supervision by teachers or other responsible adults.
• Ages, numbers and the session timetable.
• Any needs the DJ should know about.

The DJ provides music and interaction. The school remains responsible for supervising the children. Agree on a quiet place for anyone who needs a break.

Have your date, location and estimated number of children ready. Kidsdisco.eu shows the current options and packages, with the arrangements for your party.

Which format should you request?

A short celebration for one age group needs a different plan from several classes in succession. List ages, pupil numbers and desired performance time for each session. Allow separately for changeovers and breaks; these do not automatically add show time.

Ask for a clear breakdown of the booked time. Agree who handles setup, arrivals, supervision and the final changeover. Include other performances in the schedule. Choose the format around this programme, not just total pupil numbers.
