Games children play

Here is a video of the children from the Grace Christian school on Tinian. I think they were playing musical chairs-- everyone had a chair, except one. As the music plays, the children walk in a circle; as soon as the music stops, they have to sit down on a chair. The child left without a chair is 'out'. Then, another chair is removed, and they start again. The difference with this game was that they did not have a lot of chairs... so they assigned three children to each chair! This made the game even more interesting.

LoL! yeah, we were playing musical chairs. It was our last day of school and we were playing some games. we won't have school until january 5th, so we tried to have as much fun as we could that day. I was having so much fun, i guess i didn't realize you were there; but i had a gut feeling that someone was watching, for some reason i felt that way..and now i know that YOU were there! haha..thanks for the vid; although it wasn't too clear, you could still "hear" what was going on. :)

actually, it wasn't that we didn't have enough chairs. it's a different method of "musical chairs" it goes like this:

5th 7th and 8th have to sit on the chairs first. Then, the 4th and 6th Graders can sit ON THEIR LAPS. If they can't find a fifth, seventh, or eighth grader to sit on; they're out. And in case you didn't notice: fifth, seventh, and eighth were walking nearer the chairs and in an opposite direction than the fourth and sixth graders.

did you notice we were walking in different directions? That was part of the "rules."
