Musical Statues

Dance like nobody’s watching… then freeze like a statue when the music stops!

1. Set the stage

Find a spacious area where everyone can move safely—your classroom, hall, or even outside.

Crank up the tunes! Players dance, wiggle, and groove in any style they like.

When the music suddenly stops, all dancers must freeze instantly like statues. No wobbling, no giggling, no sneaky shuffles!

The teacher (or game master) watches closely. Anyone caught moving after the music stops is out of the game.

The game continues until just one super-still statue remains—they’re the winner!
