What age are the kids? 8-10yrs or older they are gonna also want some commercial RnB, Dance etc. They are a bit more savvy about 'tunes' than you'd think, my 8yr old's favourite tune of the moment is 'Akon - Beautiful' so don't underestimate them!

Which school is it? Can give you some pointers on best loading places/etc if you want. Like Tony said, it depends on the age/year group. If its Secondary then Barbie Girl/Vengaboys etc goes down well. But that will be fairly lost on primary kids who will only be into music from 2-4 years ago, upto the latest stuff.

High School Musical, Mama Mia (make sure its the OST, i got cauglt out playing Abba...which apparantly is different ), Camp Rock, Miley cyrus/Hannah Montanna etc for primarty kids too.

its from age 5-11

cheers

Hey Mate,

Keep them active, and if you do play any games with them keep it quick so that those watching do not get bored.

Music wise, Chart stuff they know + all the action party dances (if you do them)

Have a good un', and let us know how it goes

hmm difficult 5 year olds, and 11 year olds will probably want different things? 5 year olds you might still be able to get away with things like bob the builder etc. 11 year olds pop and r 'n' b. throw in YMCA all that rubbish. will go down a treat good luck.

Just play it by ear and ask for requests.

Best advice is to enjoy it !

Do not touch Bob the Builder with a barge pole. It doesnt wash, trust me. 5 year olds are into Ben 10/mama mia/etc. Trust me ive a 5 year old boy who would kill me if i made him watch bob.

Yes, 5 years will want different to 11yrs.

To be honest, i cant understand the school having one disco for all of KS2?

I also work for the Cumbria County Council, mainly in primary schools and you can guarantee that the school splits the activities down into blocks. I.e. Yr 3 & 4 and Yr 5 & 6 because the 11 year olds dont want to do activities with the 6 year olds.

Are you doing one disco Leigh? or are they splitting the ages down?
