MUSICAL CHAIRS

OBJECTIVES:
Get to sit in the chair.

DESCRIPTION:

The game starts with any number of players and a number of chairs one fewer than the number of players; the chairs are arranged in a circle facing outward, with the people standing in a circle just outside of that. A non-playing individual plays recorded music or a musical instrument. While the music is playing, the players in the circle walk in unison around the chairs. When the music player suddenly stops the music, everyone must race to sit dawn in one of the chairs the player who is left without a chair is eliminated from the game.

And one chair is also removed to ensure that there will always be one fewer chair than there are players. The music resumes and the circle repeats until there is only one player left in the game, who is the winner.
