Musical Planets

We held a space theme day at the vacation care I am working at and I made up this variation on Musical Chairs.

• Put out some hula hoops spread out over a large area. The number doesn't matter at the moment but make sure there is enough.
• Play space related music and encourage  the children to run around like spaceships between planets. 
• When the music stops they have to go to the nearest planet.
• You can change the game by introducing rules such as planets can only fit so many people or a planet might blow up once in while.
• We played for at least 40 mins and the kids ran the whole time.
