A Fun Wet Weather Game By Rueben

CHAIRS

INTRODUCTION

This activity is an action and listening game!

It involves students getting into a circle, holding chairs and responding to a clapping pattern which they then move in a left or right direction.

TOOLS

A classroom of children

The same number of chairs as children

A leader who is the clapper

HOW TO PLAY

1. Children position themselves into a circle with their chairs tipped onto the front two legs in front of them.
2.   The clapper claps their hands either once or twice.  
3.   If the clapper claps their hands once all children must move to the chair to the left of them without the chair they are moving to falling on to its back legs.

4.            If the clapper claps twice all children must move to the chair to the right of them without the chair they are moving to falling on to its back legs.

5.            If the chair does fall onto its back legs you are out!

6.            Be honest about being out.

7.            If you are out you move your chair and yourself out of the circle.

8.            The gap doesn't close, any remaining chaIrs must stay where they are.

9.            Keep repeating clapping until one person remains.

10.         THIS PERSON IS THE WINNER!
