27 Best Party Songs For Kids, All Clean and Dance Worthy

11. “Roar” by Katy Perry

Song year: 2013

However, it's a fun song to dance to as well, especially towards the end of a dance party. The beat makes making any dance move easy, and kids will love the loud vocals.

This is one of the best sing-along or karaoke songs because of the fierce and powerful chorus that inspires even the shyest people to “Roar.”

Finally, it has a great message, saying that people need to speak up, stay true to themselves, take up space, and use their voice – regardless of the obstacles.

12. “I Like To Move It” by will.i.am

Song year: 2008

Like “Roar” mentioned above, this song also has a great message for kids – to never stop moving and stay active. This version of the song is a spin-off of the original “I Like to Move It” by Reel 2 Reel, created for the film Madagascar 2.

This version is a bit better for kids because the words are spoken more clearly, and the lyrics are more kid-friendly.

It also has a particularly catchy beat that is fun to rock back and forth to, just as the cartoon animals in the video do!

13. “Every Girl's A Supergirl” by JoJo Siwa

Song year: 2018

This is a beautiful song to play at a kid's event, especially a young girl's birthday party. Not only is the song fantastic, but almost every little kid, especially a girl, knows who JoJo Siwa is.

The song is uplifting, encouraging, and powerful for young girls to listen to. It's about female power, support, story, and inherent strength. We love this song because it encourages girls to have each other's backs, stand up for each other, and stand up for themselves.

And it's not just the uplifting lyrics; the song's beat is uplifting and powerful, making it exciting to bounce around to.

14. “Let's Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez

Song year: 1999

A throwback song that almost all the adults at the party will know but is still an excellent option for a kid’s party is “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez.

The lyrics generally repeat themselves over and over, making it easy for kids to learn and understand. The beats are exciting and will have the kids dancing in no time.

15. “Dancing Queen” by ABBA

Song year: 1976

“Dancing Queen” is a classic party song that never gets old.

Parents enjoy listening to this 70s Euro-pop-disco hit from ABBA's “Arrival” album because the beat is catchy and easy to dance to, while the lyrics are fun and memorable.

This song is perfect for getting everyone on the dance floor, regardless of age. It's also a great sing-along song for kids, as they can belt out the chorus with the best of them.

16. “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus

Song year: 2009

This song was one of Miley Cyrus's transition songs, a step up in maturity from her prior Hannah Montana hits but still appropriate enough for even the youngest kids to listen to.

Miley mentions throwing her hands up to initiate the chorus – followed by mentions of her nodding her head and moving her hips – which inspires everyone to dance along, even if they are not the best dancers.

17. “Wannabe” by Spice Girls

Song year: 1996

This is another classic party song from the 90s that still stands the test of time.

It's perfect for a kids' party because the lyrics are easy to sing along to, and the message – about female friendship and empowerment – is still relevant today.

This song is also high energy and fast-paced, excellent for getting kids up and creating a fun, memorable environment.

Towards the end of the song, the lyrics call for listeners to slam their bodies down and wind them all around, which creates an entertaining opportunity for some creative dance interpretations!

18. “Who Let The Dogs Out” by The Party Cats

Song year: 2014

This song updates the Baha Men's original “Who Let The Dogs Out,” which came out in 2000. The Party Cats' version is shorter and faster-paced, making it more appropriate for a kids' party setting.

It's also pretty enjoyable to sing along to, as the lyrics are easy to remember, and the chorus is very catchy.

This song is perfect for getting everyone up and moving, as it's impossible to stay still when this tune is playing! Even the adults will be on their feet if they're invited.

19. “We're All In This Together” by High School Musical Cast, Disney

Song year: 2006

This song is from the popular Disney movie “High School Musical.”

The song is about working together and being there for each other, which is a great message for kids. It's from the iconic ending scene in the movie.

It's also loud, pleasant, upbeat, and catchy, which excites kids right when it comes on. The lyrics are easy to recall, especially the chorus, making it fun to sing along to.

20. “Under the Sea” by Samuel E. Wright

Song year: 1991

While most people choose pop songs or other popular songs from decades past for a kid’s party, there’s nothing wrong with going with a classic Disney song.

“Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid is a playful and fun song that most kids will know. Even if they don’t know the lyrics, the funky and tropical tune is enough to get them playing and dancing.
