Musical Chairs
Another favorite game with little kids, Musical Statues is easy
to set up, fun to play, and ideal for small party venues. This game is often the
most successful of the "musical" games, although it takes a little more
preparation.
Age: 3+
You will need:
A CD player or similar with dancing music or children's
favorites
A chair or cushion for each player *
Some little prizes
* you can improvise by cutting squares or circles out of an
old plastic tablecloth or sheet if you like - you just want a "base" for
children to sit on, which will survive some energetic trampling by enthusiastic
children.
How to play:
Arrange the chairs or cushions around the room, leaving space
for the children to skip around and dance. Two lines of chairs in the center of
the room works well, as does a ring around the edges. Alternatively, scatter
them around the area randomly.
Similar to musical bumps and
music statues, the children dance and skip
around while the music plays. When the music stops they must race to sit on a
chair or cushion. In the first round there will a space for everybody, but then
you remove one chair after each round and the child who doesn't find somewhere
to sit is eliminated.
Hints:
Supervise carefully! Sometimes children get a little carried
away in this game...
