Musical Chairs
Players walk around a circle (or back-to-back rows) of chairs - one less than the number of players - and attempt to sit on any chair each time the music stops.
How To Play
Step 1.
Assemble a circle or back-to-back rows of chairs, one less than the number of players.
Step 2.
When the music starts, all players walk around the chairs.
Step 3.
When the music stops all players attempt to sit on a chair, leaving one person without and therefore eliminated
Step 4.
Repeat Steps 2 & 3 until only one player remains. But then everyone aged 3+ knows that, don't they??

Tips / Variations
When only two remain, place a marker 2 metres from the final chair and the 2 players must walk around that as well as the last chair.
