Overview
Musical Chairs is a simple, high-energy activity that can be used to build confidence, sharpen listening skills and encourage positive group interaction. In an RTC context, the emphasis is less on “winning” and more on participation, adaptability and reflection.
Learning intentions
- Encourage quick decision-making in a playful setting.
- Promote focus, listening and spatial awareness.
- Support confidence and group participation.
- Create a natural opportunity for discussion around resilience and response to change.
How to run the activity
- Arrange chairs in a circle, with one fewer chair than the number of participants.
- Explain that when the music plays, everyone moves around the chairs safely and steadily.
- When the music stops, each participant finds a chair. The person left standing remains involved rather than being excluded.
- After each round, remove another chair and repeat, adapting the tone to keep the activity playful and supportive.
- Pause regularly to draw out learning: What helped people stay calm? How did they react when plans changed?
Reflection prompts
- How did you feel when the music stopped unexpectedly?
- What helped you stay focused during the activity?
- How can this relate to real-life situations where things change suddenly?
- What does resilience look like in a task like this?
