Step-by-Step Instructions

expand_circle_down
  1. Position four chairs, one each in the corners of an imaginary square, facing inwards approx 5 to 10 metres apart.
  2. Invite four people to sit on the chairs and a fifth person to stand in the middle of the space.
  3. Challenge the four people sitting on chairs to move off their own in an effort to sit on and occupy all other chairs as quickly as possible.
  4. Only one person can sit on a chair at any point in time, ie they will be required to swap seats frequently.
  5. Instruct the person standing in the centre to steal (sit) any seat that is vacated by the other four people at any time.
  6. When the person who is standing successfully claims a vacant seat, a new person (ie the one without a seat) will become the next person standing in the middle.
  7. The first person to visit all four chairs and return to the one they started from is the winner.
  8. Start a new round with a new team of five people, or swap the person who won with a new person waiting their turn to play.
