Limbo is a
party game.
Music plays. At the end of a path are two vertical poles. These poles hold up a horizontal bar that can be raised or lowered. Players line up behind the bar and bend their bodies so as to cross under the bar. If they touch the bar, they lose; otherwise, they go to the end of the line as in a spelling bee. After each round, the MC lowers the bar a notch.
A common variation on limbo puts the players in roller skates. A further variation, often played in elementary school gymnasiums, gradually lowers the divider between the west and east gym and uses that as the bar; the players skate around four cones placed near the corners of the full gym.
