Dancing is great fun for the guests, but little ones might get a bit bored if it's the only activity! Make sure to plan some fun disco party games. A glitter ball piñata makes an exciting break from dancing, and this kit from Party Delights has everything you’ll need.
You can also use music-based games like the limbo, musical statues, and pass-the-parcel to keep the kids interested. Add some fun twists, like asking the kids to dance while passing the parcel. For teens, try having a dance-off, karaoke, or air guitar competition!
A fruit salad is a colourful and healthy idea, too. Skewer sticks with patterns on the top make a yummy fruit kebab extra special.
If you’re having a disco birthday, you've already got a perfect theme for the cake! Colourful icing with a glitter ball cake topper captures the fun of a disco perfectly. Or you could order a bespoke cake, like this one from The Brilliant Bakers, for a bake that really stands out!

Add some balloons and props so you can capture some fun photographs of the kids!
Glow sticks are another great addition. They're easy to wrap around items like cups and plates - in no time, you'll have a groovy disco party table! The kids can then dance with them and take them home as party favours. There are so many great games you can play with them! Have a ring toss, or put them in clear bottles to use as glowing bowling pins.
They're striking when paired with a black tablecloth. Or you could go bright! Add more fun colours to the party decor with themed napkins, platters, and so on!

Entertainment
It’s not a disco party without some dancing! You can hire a local venue if don’t have room in your house – or if you want to save the floorboards! If you don’t want to spend cash on a venue, make space by pushing furniture to one side or moving the party outdoors. If the party is for older children, you can make it extra special by hiring a professional kids DJ. Or you can simply make a playlist yourself and play it with some speakers. Catchy tunes go down well with kids – make sure to add some of the party boy or girl’s favourite tunes!

Decorations
Decorate your dance-floor with disco decor. There’s no need to break the bank when it comes to lighting - small glitter balls look fantastic with fairy lights! If the party is for younger children, and you want to keep the room bright, use bunting and confetti instead.
