Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction (相反的方向)to the chair next to it.

Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.
