Cover the Chair

  • Indoors
  • Equipment: 1 chair per Cub
  • Formation: Circle

Have the players seated in a circle and select one to be 'it'. He stands in the circle leaving his chair empty. When he commands, 'Shift to the right!', the person who has the empty chair on his right shifts to it, the next person shifts to the chair just vacated, and so on around the circle. 'It' tries to get a seat. If he succeeds, the person who should have shifted to that seat becomes 'it'. 'It' may suddenly call 'shift to the left', and in the confusion, he stands a good chance of finding a place.
