Newspaper Dance

1. 1“Dance while the music plays — but don't step off the newspaper!”
2. 2“Stop! Fold the newspaper — in half!”
3. 3“Only two pairs left! Can you still fit?”

• Check the room first. This game involves close contact and carrying — fine for a group of friends, risky for a mixed corporate crowd with new hires.
• Offer an opt-out that is not embarrassing: ask for volunteers rather than drafting pairs.
• Stop folding at a quarter sheet. Past that it stops being funny and starts being a fall.

• Carrying allowed

  One partner may carry the other. This is where it gets loud.

• Trios

  Three to a sheet. Much harder, much funnier.

• Clear the floor of bags and cables — people will stumble.
• No carrying on tiled or wet floors.
• Skip entirely for conservative or church audiences.
