musical statues

Dance, then freeze

Musical statues is a children's party game where players dance while music plays, then freeze when it stops.

Anyone caught moving is eliminated.

The last player standing wins.

The game combines the tension of freeze-tag with the unpredictability of when the music will cut out: We played musical statues at the birthday party.
