If regular old Limbo just isn't that exciting to you anymore, here are some unique twists on the classic game: Limbo is often played in large groups, and so we recommend having a second game running for players who are eliminated, so they don’t have to just be observers.The winner is the player still able to pass under the stick when no other player can make it under without touching the limbo stick or falling. The stick is lowered by a little after each round. After all participants have had an opportunity to try the stick at that height, lower the limbo stick and everyone who made it the first time gets to go again.If they fall, touch the ground with anything other than their feet, or touch the stick, they’re considered out. Have two players or leaders hold either end of a stick horizontally at about the average shoulder height of the participants (or purchase a Limbo set like this one). Players line up behind the stick (six feet apart!) and, one at a time, lean backwards and dance under the limbo stick.So, whether you're having a playdate with a few friends, celebrating a birthday, or looking for something physical to do on family game night, here's how to play Limbo the classic way, from 175 Best Camp Games and seven ideas to add unique twists to the game.Įquipment: Music and a long stick How to Play Classic Limbo Limbo is an easy and fun way to get the whole group on their feet and can be played in a safe, socially distant manner.
