Music Game: “Musical Statues”
Courtesy of empowered parents
Instructions on how to play:
Play music on a cd player or cell phone
While the music is playing, everyone dances around the room
Stop the music every now and then and everyone must freeze in the exact position they were dancing in when the music stopped
If you move, you are “out.”
For young children, it is lots of fun to just keep freezing without anyone going “out”
Another fun activity is sing some fun campfire songs! Below is a fun easy song that goes along with the tune “Twinkle Twinkle little star”.
