'Musical chairs' is alternately called 'Birdie, move your nest','The sea is storming', 'Journey to Jerusalem' and 'Musical retards' as it is played around the world. And according to the pigeonhole principle- only one will be left to collect and win the spotlight (and a Hello Kitty pencil case perhaps). As it is a random, particularly non-skilled game that involves a bunch of kids, a DJ, some kitchen props and requires a little dancing- it is a very catchy and popular parlour game. Edwina White has made her own set of
52 pick-up playing cards, 2 loaded pinatas, 19 kites and several mistakes in order to entertain herself and others.
