The rules
How to play
1
Any player can yell 'The floor is lava!' and count down from five.
2
Everyone must get both feet off the floor, onto a step, log, bench or cushion, before zero.
3
Anyone still touching the ground is out for that round or does a forfeit like ten star jumps.
4
Agree which surfaces are allowed before you start.
Keep it fair
Agree before playing which surfaces are allowed and which are off-limits, the argument is never about the lava, it's about whether the couch arm counts.

What you need
Just: safe things to climb on (steps, logs, cushions)
