A circle game where the empty chair is always moving
Categories: ,

How To Play

This is a fun game where the goal is simply for the student to sit down.

1. Have all students form a chair circle with 1 student in the middle and 1 empty seat.

2. Have the student to the right of the empty chair move over and sit in the empty chair.

3. The next student will move to fill the empty chair next to them.

4. The empty chair keeps getting filled and it will go faster and faster.

5. The student in the middle should try to sit down.

6. If they get into the empty seat then the person who “should” have moved over but wasn’t fast enough will be the person in the middle.

ALTERNATIVES:

– You could have two empty chairs and two students in the middle.

 

Equipment

None

Tips

– Some students will understand that they have to get ahead of the chair in order to try to sit down. Others will simply try to chase the empty chair around the circle and never really catch it.
