participants and involves a good deal of physical activity which makes kids very
happy. The rules are very simple. A group of chairs are arranged back-to-back and an
adult is designated as music co-ordinator. While the music is playing the kids need
to dance and keep moving around the chairs with atleast 2 feet of distance between
chair and themselves and when the music stops everyone needs to occupy a seat. In
each turn a chair is removed such that number of chairs is always 1 less than the
number of kids in play. During each round, 1 child is unfortunately removed from the
competition and finally last person remaining on the chair is the winner. It is very
important to ensure there is a lot of space available to prevent children bumping
into chairs or each other and hurting themselves.

BONUS TIP: Start early. The earlier you start planning the better you can. With the luxury of time you can evaluate more options, think those over and make an informed decision. Also, booking early gets you a better deal because remember "Early Bird Gets The Prey"
If you decide to settle for an affordable option with not so quality space, then remember, you’ll have to eventually spend more on décor to spruce it up. So, go with an option where you would need little décor and which fits impeccably into your budget.
