Human Rock-Paper-Scissors
1. This game involves having two clearly defined end zones.
2. Divide the class into two teams.
3. To begin, each team huddles and decides on which play to run (rock, paper, or scissors).
4. The two teams then meet in the middle of the field. When given the signal (what you decide), students
show their team’s symbol.
5. The members of the winning team then chase the other team back to its end zone, trying to tag the team
members before they get there. Members of the losing team who are tagged switch to the other team.
6. Teams huddle up again and play continues. The game ends when everyone is on the same team.
Discussion:
1. How did you Exercise Cooperation during this activity?
2. Did you and your teammates always agree on which symbol to play? If not, what did you do?
3. Did you ever feel frustrated during this activity? If so, how did you appropriately handle these feelings?
4. Is there anything you learned during this activity that might help us work better together as a team here
at school?
