A variant of Musical Chairs:
No child likes getting out! This game eliminates this problem as well as encouraging name recognition.
Set up the chairs as in a normal game of Musical Chairs, but fix each child's name card on a chair with blue tack so they can see it. Start the music with the children moving around the chairs. When it stops they must find the chair with their name on it. Move the names each turn (you may need the help of your aide to do this speedily). For beginners add an individual sticker on the name card to aid recognition.
Have Fun!
Thanks again to Trudy Scott Prevost!
