Musical chairs

From 5 players – equipment: as many chairs as there are players, minus one

  • Place, in a circle, as many chairs as there are players, minus one. The game leader starts the music and everyone turns running or dancing around the chairs, without touching them!
  • Suddenly, the game leader stops the music and turns the lights off. Quick, quick, everyone gropes around for a chair to sit on!
  • The lights come back on. The player who hasn’t found a chair is eliminated!
  • Another chair is removed and the game starts again until there are only 2 players and 1 chair left. The first to sit down when the music stops is the winner!
  • You can replace the chairs with hats (caps or bonnets) that you will pile up at the centre of the circle! At the end of each round, one hat is removed!
