Musical Statues

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

Musical Statues

Instructions

1. Set the stage

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

2. Start the music

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

3. Freeze on cue

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

4. Spot the movers

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

5. Crown the last dancer 👑

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