Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Pair everyone for rock-paper-scissors.
- Each pair plays one decisive round or best of three.
- The non-advancing player joins the winner as a cheering section instead of leaving.
- Winners find new opponents while supporters follow.
- Continue until the final match, with the whole group still involved.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use team brackets or themed gestures such as giants, wizards and elves.
Make it a great round
Keep rounds moving quickly so supporters stay engaged.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
