Practise several times before you start the game.
Note: if your class is strong, after a while you can take away 
one of the chairs so that there is one pupil without a place to sit. 
This pupil will lead the game instead of you. 
This pupil should try to take a seat after his/her turn. next 
pupil without a place to sit will lead the game.
