How to play

Players dance freely around the playing area while music plays. When the music stops, every player must freeze immediately in whatever position they are in and hold it completely still. Any player seen moving after the music stops is eliminated and sits to the side. The music starts again and remaining players resume dancing. The last player still in the game wins. Eliminated players can be given an activity to do while waiting, such as practising a skill or doing stretches.

Variations

Require players to freeze in a specific pose such as an animal shape or a sports position. Award bonus points for the most creative or funniest statue pose.
