Freeze Statues

You need

Nothing! Just you.

Steps

  1. 1. The grown-up sings or plays music. Everyone dances.
  2. 2. When the music stops, FREEZE like a statue!
  3. 3. Hold still while the grown-up counts to five.
  4. 4. Swap jobs. Now your child stops the music.

⚠ Safety · Stay nearby

Clear the floor of toys first.

Stop if:

  • Your child gets upset about wobbling — there is no out in this game

Easier

Freeze for a count of two.

Harder

Freeze in a shape the grown-up names: tall, tiny, wide.

Only 5 minutes?

Five freezes.

Why it matters: Stopping on a signal builds self-control and listening.

Clean-up: Nothing to tidy.
