Implementation
Arrange chairs or cushion in a circle with the seats facing outwards, one chair less than the number of players participating. Play the music and have the players walk around the perimeter of the chair circle. When the music stops, everyone must immediately sit in a chair. The one person left standing is out. Remove another chair and continue until only one person is left.
You can ask one participant to be in charge of the music, and they can choose to start and stop, when they want tracks to continue. Remove one chair after each round but keep everyone in the game. The challenge then is to get every player seated on a decreasing number of chairs. In other words, they have to share chairs.
