Musical Beds (a game for five players)


This game is played in Teams, Kids vs. Parents.
The Object of the game is to confuse the heck out of the Parents Team and send them spinning into a sleep deprived haze.

How the game is played...

Everybody starts off in their own beds.

During the night the bed-moving begins when one or more players:
  • has a bad dream
  • falls out of bed
  • loses their dummy
  • wets the bed
  • cries in a loud voice threatening to wake all other players
Players can also use a stealth approach and just sneak into the Parents Team's bed while they are sleeping. A successful stealth raid means the parents forfeit a good nights sleep without even realising it.

 In the morning if the Parents are alone in their bed with no children present, they are declared the winners. {The statistical likelihood of this occurring diminishes with each additional child added to the family.}

If however, morning comes and there are...
  • one or more children wriggled in between the parents
  • one or more parents sleeping in a child's bed (or on the couch)
...then the Kids Team is declared the winner. Bonus points for five in the bed.

The prize is two grumpy parents and a packet of short fuses.

Do you ever play this fun game at your house??
