Description

Players must attempt to retrieve items from within the circle whilst the music is playing.
If they are caught within the circle when the music stops, they are out.

Resources

A "sun" - some sort of yellow ball
Tape or rope or chalk to make out a "sun zone"
Various small items, like plastic coins or stones
An automatic music stopping app - Or person stopping the music is blindfold

Instructions

First, explain the story of Icarus

To start, place the "sun" in the middle of the room, and then draw/plate a large circle around it, this is the "sun zone".
Then, put all the small items into the the circle, near the sun. (Players should have to get completely into the sun zone before they can reach an item)
Each player then stands against the wall, this is their home base.

On "Archízo", the music will start playing. Players must run into the sun zone, collect ONE item and bring it back to their home base.
They can then go and get another one.
When the music stops, all players must freeze. If any players are within the sun zone at that time, they melt (dramatically). All their items must return to the centre.

The game ends in one of 2 ways:
1. All players but 1 have melted - last player standing is the winner
2. All items have been collected from the sun zone - player with the most items is the winner
