How to play
The theatre warm-up that wakes up any circle. One player claps and points at someone, saying "Zip!" That person immediately passes it on with "Zap!", the next with "Zop!", and the cycle repeats — zip, zap, zop — at maximum speed. Hesitate, say the wrong word, or fumble your point, and you're out (or the group simply restarts, in the friendly version). As the circle masters it, ban pointing at your neighbors or add a second traveling zip going the other way.

Find the Pattern
Person stands in middle of a circle and points at people in the circle one by one. The person pointing has a pattern in mind. They answer either yes or no to whatever the people in the circle say, according to their pattern. People in the circle need to figure out what the pattern is. (Example: Only says "yes" if the guess is a food, only says "yes" if the answerer pauses before guessing, etc.)

Get the Golan
A combination of OC and Risk, teams compete at stations to win "armies" which can be used to conquer the various regions of Israel. The regions have different values, Golan having the greatest value (number of points). The goal is to have the most points at the end of the game by conquering the regions (and thereby defeating other teams). All stations must be completed once before the team can repeat a station in order to get more armies. Headquarters closes at a set time, after which it is impossible to bring more armies to the war. Strategy: Can only turn in 3 armies at a time.
