Empty Tomb Freeze Dance Game

by Sheik Ally on March 18, 2025
A high-energy, last-one-standing dance battle celebrating the resurrection!

Theme: Jesus’ resurrection is the ultimate reason to celebrate! But just like the disciples had to wait and listen, players must be ready to freeze when the music stops—no wobbling, twitching, or moving until it’s time to dance again!

Setup:
Music: Pick a high-energy worship song from our Easter 2025 Kids Worship Playlist!
Space: A big open area for dancing.
Leader/DJ: Controls the music stops and watches for movement.

Game Rules:
1️⃣ Start the music – Kids dance, jump, and celebrate in full resurrection party mode! 🎶💃🕺
2️⃣ Stop the music suddenly – Kids must FREEZE IN PLACE!
3️⃣ Anyone who moves, wobbles, or flinches after the freeze is OUT! 🚫
4️⃣ The leader shouts: “EMPTY TOMB PARTY TIME!” – The round restarts, and the music plays again!
5️⃣ Repeat until only one dancer remains—they win!

Winning the Game:
🏆 The last person standing is the Empty Tomb Dance Champion!
🎖️ If playing multiple rounds, winners can face off in a final championship round!

Bible Connection:
📖 Matthew 28:6“He is not here; He has risen, just as He said!”
💡 Just like the disciples had to be ready for the Good News, we must be ready to listen—but when it’s time to celebrate, we go ALL IN!

Optional Variations:
🎶 Speed Challenge – Gradually shorten the dance rounds to test reaction times!
🎤 Silent Round – Instead of the leader saying “He is risen!”, players must listen for the music restart and dance at the right time!
🕺 Final Dance-Off – The last 2-3 players must show their best moves for the grand prize!
