Four Corner Rock Paper Scissors
PDF: Four Corner Rock Paper Scissors
You will need: 4 Cones to mark the four corners.
How to play: Identify which corners in the play area are one, two, three, and four. Everyone will start in corner one and find someone to play RPS against. Whoever wins the match, moves on to the next corner (corner two) and plays someone new. Whoever loses the match, must go back a corner (if a player loses at corner three, they go back to corner two). If players lose at corner one they stay there and find someone new to play. If players can make it to corner four, they must challenge the teacher/leader to a game of RPS. If they win in corner four, they get one point and continue at corner one.
Modifications:
- Adjust the size of the playing area to either increase or decrease the amount of running.
- Change the movement between corners from running to galloping, skipping, side shuffling etc.
- Add in a challenge at each corner (corner 1=5 squats, corner 2=5 star jumps, corner 3=5 lunges etc)
