Office Break Games

Cup games

Musical cups

Musical chairs, scaled down to a table. One cup fewer than players; when the music stops, grab one.

Players
4–12
Time
5–10 min

What you need

  • Paper cups, one fewer than the players
  • Music from a phone

How to play

  1. Put the cups upside down in the middle of a table, players around it with hands behind their backs.
  2. Play music; everyone walks around the table.
  3. When the music stops, grab a cup. Whoever has none is out, and one cup goes.
  4. Repeat until one player holds the last cup.

Office tip: Have someone who is out run the music, so nobody stands around.
