Chair Game
-
Active, physical engaging variation on
"musical chairs"; can entertain a group for hours
-
Place chairs in a tight circle, with the chairs touching
 each
other.
-
Have 1 person stand in the middle - there
is now a vacant chair
-
The person in the middle tries to sit in an empty seat
-
The group prevents the person by someone moving seat, creating a new
vacant seat
-
The game moves fast -- due to the strategic "bum-shuffling" by the
group, the place of the empty seat is in constant movement, like a
Mexican wave, changing directions, tempting, then moving fast - or
instantly appearing on the other side if a bold cross is made by someone
-
Eventually the person in the middle makes a successful lunge for a seat
(it can get very dramatic), the group member who was aiming for the seat
(group consensus) now goes in the middle
-
And so on....
