How to Play:

Game Setup:

  • Arrange the chairs in a circle, back to back, with one less chair than the number of participants (e.g., 10 chairs for 11 players).
  • Make sure the room has enough space for the participants to walk around the chairs.

Gameplay:

  • Start playing music and have the participants walk in a circle around the chairs with their hands behind their backs.
  • When the music stops suddenly, everyone must quickly sit down on a chair.
  • If two people try to sit on the same chair, one of them has to find another free chair.
  • The player left without a chair when all others are seated is out of the game.

Continue the game:

  • Remove one chair after each round and start the music again.
  • Repeat this process, eliminating one player each round, until only two participants and one chair remain.

Winning the game:

  • The game ends when the last two players compete for the final chair. The player who sits down first when the music stops wins the game.
