Rock Paper Scissors Race

  • 15 - 25 min
  • ~$4/person

Rock Paper Scissors Race

Lay a line of hula hoops across the ground connecting two teams' home bases. One player from each team starts hopping on one foot, hoop to hoop, toward the other side. Where the two meet face to face, they play rock-paper-scissors: the winner keeps advancing, and the loser peels off while the next teammate immediately launches to intercept. If a player makes it all the way to the opposing team's end, their team scores (or wins). Fast, loud, and endlessly restartable.

The last player has to say the phrase that came to him out loud.
