Looking for a fun, easy game to play with your school age kids during gymnastics or ninja class? It works great for warm ups, conditioning or just for fun!
Rock, Paper, Scissors, RUN
This game is a blast. Watch the video above or read the directions below:
How to play:
- Everyone gets a partner & together they stand at one end of the floor.
- The partners play rock, paper, scissors.
- The winner will jog in place, while the non-winner will run to the other side of the floor (touch the line) and then run back.
- Repeat for a set amount of time.
Variations:
- Change up the movements, for example:
- Winner can try: jumping jacks, plank, sit ups, burpees, 10 star jumps, etc.
- Non-winner can try: hopping, galloping, skipping, bear walking, etc. to the other end of the floor (and maybe can get a task to do at the other end, like tuck jumps or spinning 3 times, etc)
- After the non-winner runs to the line, have them find a NEW partner
- Make this a name game by having the kids introduce themselves each time
- Try adding an obstacle course or maybe even adapt this to play on another apparatus
- Ask the kids for variations – they always have fun ideas!
Have fun!
