How to play

While the music is playing, all players must dance around the room and when the music stops players must bop down. Last person to bop down is out. Remaining players will await further instruction, being one of the commands from below. Players who are not in a group are out. The music starts playing again and the remaining players dance around the room. The game ends with a "shoot out" between the last two players. "Strike a pose" - each player strikes their best pose, worst pose is out. "Camping" - one player kneels of the ground and another player stands over them like a tee pee. "Traffic lights" - one player sits cross legged on the ground, one player kneels behind them and one player stands behind them both, all players must "blink" with their hands. "Top Gun" - three players stand in a line shoulder to shoulder, the outside players pretend to be the wings of the plane while the middle player is the pilot and one person stands in front of the pilot pretending to be the nose of the plane. "Can Can" - five players line up shoulder to shoulder and link arms and do the Can Can. "Brady Bunch" - three players kneel on the ground and three players stand behind them, all players must clasp their hands and have big smiles.

Band-Aid Tag

Everyone is "it" at the same time. When you get tagged, you must place a hand — a "band-aid" — on the spot where you were touched, and keep playing. The second tag adds your second hand as another band-aid. On the third tag you are "injured" and must kneel; you are healed and rejoin the game when two free players tag you together and shout "Doctor!" Play continues until the group is exhausted or one untouched champion remains.
