Instructions

Before the game starts, place the dots randomly on the floor.

Cubs are instructed, when music starts, they're to move around the outer edge of the hall, in a clockwise direction.
When it stops, the Cubs have to find a dot and stand on it.

Do a couple of runs, without removing any dots, so the Cubs get a feel for the game.

After a couple of rounds, start the Cubs running around the playing area and remove two of the dots, then stop the music.

The Cubs should all try to get on a dot, but two Cubs won't be able to.
The Cubs who have not been able to get on a dot are now out of that round and now have to stand around the edge of the playing area.
The game continues and you gradually remove one or two dots per round, until you have a winning Cub.

Encourage the Cubs who've been knocked out, to verbally guide the Cubs who are still in, to the closest dot.
You can also use the Cubs who've been knocked out, to remove the dots, which helps them feel included.

(When the game's finished, use antibacterial wipes to clean the rubber dots and pack away.)
