Musical Chairs: Magic Kingdoms

Read the full instructions and gather your supplies before starting.

Step 1 of 4

This one is all yours

Nothing sharp, nothing hot, nowhere far. Tell someone what you're up to, then go ahead and do it on your own.

How to play

4 steps. Tap one when it's done.

Why it works

When the music stops, everyone's brain has to react at the same instant. That tiny race is where the fun is, and adding a story to each round means the game changes every time instead of just repeating.

Lambton County twist

Add a moon chair with a colander helmet or a cloud chair with a white pillow.
