The dance floor gets smaller and smaller in a rocking contest that requires lots of energy to get your groove on — and lots of balance to keep it.


Great for: All ages


Number of players: 5 or more

What You Need
  • 1 full sheet of newspaper for each team
  • Music player
Instructions
  1. Select a playlist of fast-paced songs, then choose one player to be the deejay. Divide the rest of the players into teams of two and give each team a full sheet of newspaper.

  2. While the deejay spins the tunes, the players must dance only on the paper. If a player touches the floor beyond, the team sits down. Each time the deejay stops the music, any players still standing fold their papers in half, then boogie down again on the dwindling dance floor. The game continues until only one team is left shimmying.

Variations:
Give a sheet of newspaper to each player. Or up the challenge by having the deejay call out specific dance moves, such as jumping into the air, dancing on one foot, or doing the twist, during each round.
