    For once I have to say I’m completely unqualified to help you there… anyone? 😀

    I was at a recent first communion event that had loads of kids aged 4-13. The DJ there initially played a lot of party/wedding anthems like cha cha slide, chicken dance, and such. He had a hot potato competition, and even musical chairs. The kids loved it.

    I dunno if 8th graders will think that to be too “juvenile”, but it’s one idea.

    Another would be perhaps the “you got served” kind of dance competitions. In the end, I think the kids will just want to dance fast for a bit, then slow. Treat it like any other school dance.

    You have to bust out the limbo! I remember doing it at my early school dances and thinking it was awesome. I’ve been a guide for a various pub crawls and we still do it!
    A danceoff of some sort would also work I think.
    Your idea with Crank Dat sounds good. Could do Thriller or something also.

    Is there background music for limbo?

    Yep there’s a “limbo song”. There’s a few actually but the “official” one of my childhood was Chubby Checker – Limbo Rock
