You can play Musical Dots. It's the same as musical chairs, but they just stand on a dot. I usually just remove dots, and anyone who is not on a dot is out. I also have a rule that you cannot move backwards, you must always move forward. Some students will move backwards when the music stops and end up pushing the person behind them. If two people land on a dot, they are both out. When I get down to just two players, I put a hula hoop in the middle of the floor. Whoever jumps into the hula hoop first (with both feet) wins. You could also call out a color, and anyone who is on that color is out.
The only other thing I use the dots for is making a circle with kindergarten.
