• Chairs are placed in a circle (if no chairs can be used) putting one chair less than the number of players.
• Participants circle the chairs, to the rhythm of the music.
• When the music stops, everyone needs to sit on a chair, as quickly as possible.
• The participant who has no chair loses.
• Remove one chair and reshape the circle for the 2nd round, and so on until there are only 2 players left.

Instead of making the children lose, remove one chair each round, but give them a chance to sit on a chair together. No losers.

Do you prefer a brisk walking or running pace?  How did you feel during this activity?

(Stressful, excited, bored after losing in the first round, annoyed by cheaters...)

If you were pushed around by other players during the game, how did you react? Can you think of any other situations where you have had to deal with tense, difficult situations in your life? 

# Conflict

Some players don't want to lose and push other players to advance faster. They forget the rules of courtesy. The same is true in everyday life.

For example, we want so badly to get a new smartphone from our parents, that we are willing to do anything to get it. Exaggerating the facts, hiding part of the truth...

This type of situation can generate tensions, disagreements and even conflicts.

There are several ways to resolve or soothe them. First, accept that the other person may have a different point of view.

My father may refuse the purchase of this smartphone based on his reasons, which are also valid.

Also, accept the reality that debt is always a problem for the whole family. A family rule is always more important than a fleeting personal desire. Finally, bring in someone wise who will listen to both people, hear the truth, and find harmony. 

Good advice: listen and take advice
