Lisa Bany Winters Biography & Facts

Musical statues is a children's game played at children's birthday parties in the United Kingdom. In the United States it is often called freeze dance while the Philippine name is statue dance. The game is similar to musical chairs. Rules Players stand in an area, usually a dance hall, with one person controlling the music. When the music starts the players should dance along to it, and when it stops, they must freeze in position. Any player moving or laughing while the music has stopped is out of the game. Play continues until there is only one person left, who will be announced as the winner. Variations In the newspaper dance game, players must dance on a sheet of newspaper without stepping off of it. Whenever the music stops and players freeze, the pieces of newspaper are torn in half to a smaller size. For another version, pairs of players dance around the sheet, which they must step on as the music stops; the newspaper being folded to smaller sizes as the game progresses. In the traffic light game, players run around pretending to be vehicles, and must freeze when the game runner shouts "red!"
