On the News
(Also known as: Paper Dance)
Players pair up and dance around a large sheet of newsprint until the music stops. They then both stand on the newspaper. After each round the newspaper is folded until it becomes almost impossible to fit onto.
How To Play
Step 1.
Players pair up in any age/gender mix. Each pair is given a large sheet of newspaper.
Step 2.
When the music starts all players dance, and when it stops they must both stand on their sheet of paper. Anyone falling off the paper is out of the game.
Step 3.
Repeat Step 2, each time folding the newspaper in half so that it gets smaller and smaller. Players need to find imaginative ways to stay balanced and not touch the floor.
