Des Plaines Public Library: The Floor Is Lava

Press release from the Des Plaines Public Library:

Move & Groove Staff

10.11.21

The Floor is Lava!  

Move the furniture around, throw down pillows, and put out anything to help you stay off the floor

and get ready for the first round.

Now listen for the magic words.

THE FLOOR IS LAVA! 

Oh No!  Jump onto anything around you or you’ll burn your feet.  The lava is boiling and bubbles are bursting upwards to reach you!  See if you can get to the other side of the room without touching the ground.  Are you playing with a friend? Which one of you can get to the other side first?

Now it’s time for round 2. The items around you are sinking into the lava so you need to move quickly. Here it comes…

THE FLOOR IS LAVA!  

This time you have to move around the room but you can’t stay anywhere for long or you will go down with the furniture.  Watch out for the flames erupting from that couch cushion!

Time yourself. Can you make it around the room in less than a minute? 

If you are playing with friends, add a "HOT LAVA MONSTER ROUND."

Oh No...

THE FLOOR IS LAVA!  

The Hot Lava Monster is trying to get you. You can feel its hot breath on the back of your neck. How are you going to get to the other side? With each jump, you need to watch out or the monster will tag you.

Did you make it? As long as you are moving, you’re winning.

Now have a grown-up or friend hide items around the course and see if you can find them all while avoiding the ground because

THE FLOOR IS LAVA!
