Reverse Chair Dance

How it Works

You will need music for this exercise; provide a tape deck or a ghetto blaster, and a bunch of chairs.

Start by placing chairs in a circle, one chair less than the number of players. Play music, and have the players dance around the chairs. When the music stops, everyone should find a chair to sit on. The player that doesn't find a chair needs to find some other way to get his/her feet off the ground.

Remove a chair and repeat. In the end, all players will have to find a way to not to touch the ground, by climbing and clinging on to each other. Make sure you got sturdy chairs; we've known chairs to collapse under the weight of 10 players ...

It's important not to side coach - the group needs to figure out themselves how to solve the problem.
