Musical Statues

Everyone dances until the music stops then must freeze. Anyone seen to move before the music restarts is out of the game.

How To Play

  • Step 1.

    The host puts on the music and everyone dances. The host must turn away from the dance floor.

  • Step 2.

    When the music stops, all players freeze, and the host turns around to check if anyone moves. Anyone who moves is eliminated.

  • Step 3.

    Repeat Steps 1 and 2 until one player remains.

  • The Winner

    The last person not moving is the King or Queen Statue.

  • Tips / Variations

    The host may choose to walk among the statues and make a few faces or gestures to provoke a reaction, but only for a few seconds.
