Description

A group game involving dice and chairs. Minimum of 12 players, recommend 15 or more.

Resources

2 x Dice - preferably the big foam ones (optionally have three - see below)
7 x chairs (or you can play it by having them sit on the floor)
Some kind of timer

Instructions

Preparation:
Have everyone stand in a big circle facing inwards
Place 6 chairs inside that circle facing inwards - close together. Give each of these chairs a number from 1 to 6 (use chalk on the back or something)
Place one chair inside that circle in the centre - this is the "hot seat"

Play:
Start the timer for an appropriate amount of time - say 1 - 3 minutes
Have each person throw one of the dice going around the circle
Whatever number you throw you must sit on that chair. So if you throw a 5 you sit on chair 5. If someone is in that chair you replace them and they go to the standing circle again and join in there
Play continues with the other standing players throwing the die
People on the outer 6 chairs throw a second die and pass it around. This time if you throw a 6 you move to the hot seat. If someone is in the hot seat they get bumped to the standing circle again.

At the end of the timer the person sitting in the middle is the winner

Option:
Have the person in the hot seat throw a third die. If they get a six they must vacate the hot seat and go back to the outer standing circle.
