Description
A group movement game where each player adds one new action to a growing chain, and everyone has to perform the whole chain in order before the next move is added.
What to prep
- space
Play guide
- 1Clear a safe space where everyone can move without bumping into things.
- 2The first player does one simple move, such as a jump or a spin.
- 3The next player repeats that move, then adds one new move of their own to the end.
- 4Keep going around, with each player performing the whole chain in order and then adding one more move.
- 5When someone forgets or the chain gets gloriously long, celebrate the run and start a fresh chain.
Success signals
Your child recalls and performs several moves in the right order. They add a new move that others can copy. They stay in the game with laughter when the chain finally breaks rather than treating a slip as losing
If it's tricky
The chain gets too long to remember: Cap it at a set number of moves and start over. A younger child cannot recall the order: Let players do the chain together out loud as a group rather than solo. Moves get too wild or risky: Agree that all moves have to be safe to copy in the space you have
