Statues

 

Players:          6 or more; all riders

Where:            Indoors in a gym or outdoors

Equipment:     Level card and Standard Skills Sheet; music

Assistant:       One person to run the music

 

Object:

To catch a rider who is in motion when he or she is supposed to be frozen and have that rider perform a skill in order to stay in the game.

 

Play:

One player is chosen to be the Commander. Players ride around the gym until the music stops, when everyone must immediately dismount and become a statue by freezing in any position.

The Commander spots the first statue to move and calls on that person to perform a skill according to his or her skill level.

Once the Commander singles out a rider or riders, the others may unfreeze and watch.

If the rider succeeds, the music begins and play continues. If the rider misses, he or she is out for the rest of the round.

Choose a new Commander after everyone has been eliminated or after a specific number of commands have been given.

 

Level Adjustments:

None.

 

Comments:

This game may appeal to younger riders.
