Instructions

Step 1: Get Ready to Move

Gather everyone in a large open space where they can move freely. Make sure each player is ready to stretch their arms and legs!

Step 2: Choose Your Pose

Instead of the usual hand gestures, each player will use their whole body to represent Rock, Paper, or Scissors. Here’s how:

  • Rock: Stand tall with arms bent in a strong muscle pose.
  • Paper: Stretch your body tall, arms extended like a paper plane.
  • Scissors: Spread your legs apart and make a "scissor" motion with your arms, crossing them at the elbows.

Step 3: Play the Game

On the count of three, everyone strikes their chosen pose at the same time!

  • Rock beats Scissors (strong pose beats the crossed scissors!)
  • Scissors beats Paper (the snipping arms beat the paper plane!)
  • Paper beats Rock (the paper flies past the rock!)

Step 4: Keep Going!

Players who lose take a quick “brain break” while the winners stay in the game. Keep playing until there’s one winner left!
