Limbo
How low can you go? A fun, giggle-filled movement game that gets everyone bending, balancing and ducking under the "limbo stick"
Limbo is a classic game that brings out big laughs and silly moves. Use a streamer, scarf, broomstick, or even a skipping rope as your limbo “stick.” Players take turns leaning backwards to walk under the stick without touching it or falling.
Lower the stick each round to up the challenge! It's a great way to add movement to any party or family gathering - and you don’t need any fancy props.

Extend
Animal Limbo: Instead of leaning back, try crawling under like a crab or slithering like a snake.
Freeze dance: If the music stops, you have to freeze into (usually awkward & bendy) position
Obstacle Version: Add cones or cushions to step over before going under the limbo stick.
