circle games
Seated group play
Circle games are group activities where participants sit or stand in a circle, typically played by children at parties, camps, or schools.
The format encourages inclusion since everyone faces the center and takes turns: Duck, duck, goose is the classic circle game.
Musical chairs, ring around the rosie, and hot potato follow the same structure.
