  Spooky Musical Chairs
  
  Kids find Spooky Musical Chair game irresistible as it involves both music and physical activity. Take the participating kids to an open room of your house or to the open area and set up chair for the game – one less than the total number of players. Make sure to place the chair in opposite direction of each other. For example, if the first chair is towards East, then the next to it should be towards the West. Once you set the chairs, turn on the music and ask the kids to circle round the chairs with touching them.  The moment you stop the music suddenly, the kids must sit down in the chairs. One kid will be left standing and he or she will be out of the game. Continue this interesting game until one kid remains, who will be the winner of the game.
