Two groups duke it out for Rock Paper Scissors supremacy! The catch: rather than use their hands, they use their whole bodies.

How to do it

This one is for face-to-face groups, and is guaranteed to get everyone moving and getting smiles on their dials. As the facilitator, split your group into two sub-groups and get them to make 2 lines facing each other. If there is an odd number, you can participate too.

People will feel a bit put off by this initially, so bring your enthusiasm A-game to this one! Demonstrate how to pose your body in each of the Rock, Paper and Scissors shapes:

• Rock - crouch down and hug your knees
• Paper - lean back, arms out, hands flat
• Scissors - stand legs apart, hands together, arms above your head

Each person in a line faces off their opposite opponent. You say “1... 2... 3... GO!” and everyone takes whatever shape they want. The winner of each round stays in the line for the next round, until there is only 1 pair left. The winner is then crowned Human Rock Paper Scissors champion!

Variations

A good way to make the start of this a little less awkward is to first demonstrate how to do the Rock. Then, ask your group, “What would the Paper look like? Who wants to have a go at that?” Guaranteed, the most outgoing person in the group will have a go, and then you can let everyone know that that’s how you do Paper. Repeat for Scissors. Then go!
