Journey to Jerusalem – how it works
The chairs are placed back to back in a double row, with one chair less than the number of children playing. Now a CD with music is turned on and all the children run around the rows of chairs. When the music stops, all the children have to quickly sit on a chair. The one who didn’t get a place has to leave. Now a chair is taken away so that there is not enough space and the game continues. At the end there are only two children running around a chair. Whoever sits in the chair first when the music stops wins.
