Musical Islands - a musical elimination game

Prep & Props: music, a sheet of newspaper for every player except one
Place the sheets of newspaper on the floor, with one less than the number of players.
This version of Musical Chairs doesn't require chairs - just "safe" sheets of newspaper. As the music plays the players dance - either with partners or alone, depending on what suits the group. When the music stops, everyone scrambles to find an "island." To get onto an island, you need to stand with one foot and one hand on a sheet of newspaper and hold that position. Anyone who loses his or her balance is out. A sheet of newspaper is then removed for everyone who is out, and the music starts again. The game keeps up until only one player is left, the winner.
