Musical Chairs
This is the folk game I am sending you.  My first thought is what folk game have we got!  All our games come from different countries because Australians come from all over the world and bring games with them.  For example, Chinese Skippy and Ring around a Rosy.

One I can think of may be Musical Chairs.  First you put a chair for each person minus one in a line.  Then you play some music.  The children skip around the line of chairs until the music stops.  When the music stops the person who does not get a chair to sit on goes out.  You go on and on till there is only one chair left and then the person who gets to sit on that chair out of the last two children wins.
