The music plays and everybody dances; the second it stops, everybody turns to stone. Ten minutes of this and the energy level in the flat drops noticeably.

What you need

  • Music on a phone or radio
  • A cleared patch of floor
  • Bare feet

How to play

  1. Push the coffee table against the wall and clear a patch of floor.
  2. Take your socks off so nobody slides on the parquet.
  3. Start the music and dance until you stop it without warning.
  4. Freeze the moment the music stops and hold the pose while you count to five.
  5. Call out a theme for the next round — sleepy statue, robot statue, tall tree statue.
  6. Let your child run the music for a round and catch you moving.
