2. Dance Corners

Pick a color and hope it won’t be picked!

WHAT YOU NEED:

4 different color flags, pieces of paper or tape

the four colors written on index cards (one color on each card)

paper bag

music

Mark each corner with a different color.

Put the index cards in a paper bag or a hat.

Start the music.

The players dance in the middle of the game area.

Stop the music.

Everyone runs to a corner. Any corner.

Pull out an index card and read the name of the color.

Everyone standing in that color corner is out.

Keep playing until you only have only one player left. (When you have only two players left, they
can’t go in the same corner.)

3. Spotlight

Many of us would enjoy some time in the spotlight but in this game being in the spotlight is not a
good thing…

WHAT YOU NEED:

flashlight

music

HOW TO PLAY:

Form a circle. One person stands in the middle holding the flashlight (spotlight).

The music starts.

The people in the circle start dancing.

The spotlight holder shines the light to the dancers. Moving it around so that only one dancer at
a time is in the spotlight.

The music stops.

The dancers stop. The spotlight holder freezes and keeps the light on the dancer that was in
the spotlight when the music stopped.

Whoever was in the spotlight is out of the game.

Continue playing until only one dancer remains.
