Musical Chairs

This is a fun party game for children of all ages

Materials: Chairs, Music

1. Set up the chairs side by side horizontally. Have one less chair then the number of kids

2. Play the music and have the children walk around the chairs.

3. When the music is turned off all the children must sit down.  Whoever does not have a chair is out.

4. Repeat.  Keep taking chairs away 1 round at a time.  Last child standing wins.
