How it Works

Fun game to warm up and to teach players some Chivalry .

Everyone in a circle. There are 3 things a player can be:

  • An alien: hold you index fingers up next to your head, as little antenna's and say 'Bleeb bleeb', bending inwards into the circle;

  • A cow: bend forward, hold your right hand on your tummy and go 'Moooo'

  • A tiger: push your right hand forward, imitating a claw and roar.

On your sign, every player decides to become one of the three. The idea is for everyone to become the same, which obviously won't be the case, the first time. We re-do this until everyone is in sync.

Variations

Invent your own animals (or things) and let players become juke boxes, birds, whatever.

Play 'majority wins': animals/things that are most in the minority drop out. Also known as Rock Paper Scissors.
