The winner of the game is the person who performs the most dramatic collapse to the floor! When the music stops, the person holding the ‘posion’ apple pretends to take a bite and then falls to the ground, pretending to fall into a deep sleep, bewitched by the poison. Have the children stand in a circle and pass an apple from person to person around the circle as the music plays. This is also a great game for a princess or witch/wizard themed party. Anyone not in a group, or the last group to form, is out. Children must form groups with that number of people in them. Proceed like Musical Statues (see instructions above) but this time call out a number when the music stops. Proceed like Musical Statues (see instructions above) except this time the children must bob down when the music stops.

Anyone still moving when the music stops playing or who moves while the music is off is out for that round.

Start the music and everyone dances until the music stops playing (out of view of the children, hit the pause button), then they freeze in position. They also make fun youth group games, and can be easily adapted as indoor games for class groups.

These are great games for karaoke, disco or dance parties, with suggestions to suit children from 5 through to 15 years – though to be honest, even adults would have a laugh with the games in this collection! Turn up the music! This collection of 15 music party games for kids might just be our favourite collection of kids party games ever!
