to play musical statues

Non e' identico alle belle statuine perche' invece di contare c'e' la musica, ma e' il piu' simile che mi viene in mente.

Rules

Players stand in an area, usually a dance hall and wait for music to start to play (controlled by the game master / judge). When the music starts the players should dance to the music, the more spirited the better. The game master will then stop the music at a random point. When the music has stopped all players should freeze. The judge then walks among the players and watches to see who is still moving or doesn't stop fast enough, those people are called out of the game. Play continues until there is only one person left (the winner).
