Rock, Paper, Scissors
Here's another super fun game for your gym class that everyone will love! It's a mix of the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors game and a game of tag. It works for kids from Grade 2 all the way up to Grade 10. I tried it with a Grade 3/4 class, and they had a blast!
It's a lively game that mixes Rock, Paper, Scissors with an active round of tag. Everyone is "It," and when you say "go," kids run around, trying to tag each other. Once tagged, players stop to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. The loser sits down, and the winner keeps running. The sitting player watches the winner closely and jumps back in as soon as the winner loses a round. If too many kids are sitting, the teacher yells "Rock, Paper, Scissors," and everyone gets back up, ensuring continuous fun and movement.
The game's awesomeness lies in its universal appeal, capturing the enthusiasm of every participating child. Its clever mix of running and brief breaks ensures sustained excitement without causing fatigue. The engaging dynamics demand the attention of kids on the sidelines, as they eagerly await their turn to jump back into the action. With its swift pace, the game maintains a high level of energy, keeping everyone thrilled and eliminating any room for complaints or whining. Overall, it's a surefire hit that guarantees a fun and spirited experience for all involved, a must-try activity for an upbeat and enjoyable time!
