What You Need
Music and your body!
Let’s Play!
El Juego de las Estatuas or the Statues Game is all about following directions, paying attention, and moving to music!
-
Like with musical chairs, you use music to signal when to start and pause the game.
-
While the music is playing, your family can dance, jump, make silly faces, stretch, and move as much as they can.
-

-

-
Continue with more rounds of music until there is only one player left: the winner!
