post it chairs

The class played this happily for half an hour!
This is the game with chairs in a circle. Each players had a chair and each chair is assigned a number (or colour) attached by a post it, not in any particular order. Each player has to rmemeber the number of the chair they are sitting on.
First player starts by saying je suis le numéro cinq. j'appelle le numéro trois.
The player who is number 3 must immediately respond by saying je suis le numéro trois. j'appelle le numéro huit. And so on. If there is hesitation, all players stand up and move a chair to the left moting their new number. The player who hesitated starts with the new number.
Make it easier for pupils by making the numbers or colours visible eg under the chair.
Pupils need to know the words quite well but there is no shame if they get it wrong - it is fun to change. And they get a new number to remember.
You could do it with any vocabulary provided the classs can see all the options eg flashcards on the board.
