Musical Chairs is popular game among ESL learner. So, to keep their excitement high I created this activity. Instead of the students move around and try to get the chair, they should step on particular spot where some vocabularies tacked/written on it.
Use up-beat song. I usually use the instrumental version of Foster The Child song's titled Houdini.
The beat is very catchy and easy to listen.
Steps and Instructions :
1. Teacher write/tack some target vocabularies on the floor. Put the written/tacked vocabularies in certain way so it makes circular/square pattern on the floor.
2. Put a chair at the center as a pivot point.
3. If the students are more than 10, do the activity in group of 5 or 6.
4. Explain the game and give example.

- OK class, we're going to do "Don't Step On Me Musical".
- This is in-group activity.
- We have five words on the floor. So, you should step on any the words except the one that I'm going to read its definition or synonym. Is it clear?
- But, before that I'm going to play a song then you should move around circling this chair.
- When the song stop you should quickly step on the safe words.
- If you step on the wrong word or unsafe word I will ask you a question.
- Is it clear.
- Good. Lets do it.
