Fancy a change from musical chairs? Let the children waddle like penguins or freeze like flamingos. These three games need very little equipment and nobody has to be out. Pick one for your group and join the first round yourself.

You need music, a clear floor and an adult to explain. Try one game first. Five minutes is a starting idea, not a target. Stop or change when the group needs something else.
Dance while the music plays. On the pause, make flamingo wings or briefly lift one foot if comfortable. Both feet on the floor is always fine. Nobody is eliminated.
For ages 4–6, an adult demonstrates. Older children can suggest an animal. Leave space and avoid jumping towards others.
Take small steps to the beat with arms at your sides. The adult demonstrates slow and slightly faster steps. Walk rather than race and give everyone their own space.
Younger children repeat one movement. Around ages 7–8, a volunteer can invent a move for others to copy.
Two children face each other. One moves slowly like an animal; the other mirrors. Swap after a short turn. An adult can lead if pairs are difficult.
Keep movements small: stretch like a cat, make wings or wave an arm like a trunk. Rolling or crawling is unnecessary.
Discuss ideas beforehand and leave room for the DJ’s programme. These are DIY suggestions, not automatically included show elements. Watching, sitting or choosing another movement is welcome. DiscoDieren.nl does not bring live animals.

Queue two or three suitable songs beforehand so you do not have to search mid-game. Explain one game without music, then try a practice round. Ask whether the children want the same move again or a different one. One well-loved game is enough; you need not play all three in a row.
With four-year-olds, stay together as one group. Older children may take turns demonstrating if they want to. Finish while it is still fun and have drinks ready. A child who does not want to dance can suggest an animal from the side.
You can lead these games yourself. Prefer a children’s DJ to handle music and dance activities? Enquire about a mini disco with your date and the children’s ages. Share your game ideas; we agree beforehand what fits the show.
