Description

Work as a team to block an opponent in this chair-choosing game!

Resources

Chairs, one per person

Instructions

1. Each player should take a chair and place it wherever they like in the playing area. They should then sit on it.
2. Make sure that chairs are sturdy, don’t use folding or collapsible chairs.
3. Choose one volunteer to get up and move to the opposite side of the room to where they put their chair.
4. Explain that the player standing must try to sit in an empty chair in the playing area. They may only move in pigeon steps, which are small steps placing your heel to your toe. Demonstrate how a pigeon walks so that no-one’s in any doubt!
5. While the pigeon tries to sit down, everyone else should try to block their path by sitting on the chair nearest to the person moving.
6. Players in chairs may also get up and pigeon-step their way to an empty chair. The pigeon should aim for whichever chair is vacant.
7. Players should not make physical contact with the pigeon. If a player stands up to try and sit in another chair, they may not return to their old chair and should find somewhere new to sit.
8. Should the pigeon find a seat, then the person left standing becomes the pigeon.
