Get Active: Rock, Paper, Scissors

Thursday 27th July 2017

Ever considered taking this simple game and making a tournament out of it? To be crowned “Rock, Paper, Scissors Champion” will be no simple task though, with the champion having to win back to back games against other young people.

To run this as a tournament start by pairing off the young people to play their first set of games, play best of 3, so the winner is the first to win 2 games. The winners from the first set of games go to one side of the room and losers to the other side of the room.

The winners pair off and play again in the next round, and this process repeats itself until you have just two players left. In the final increase it to best of 5, so the first person to win 3 games.

You could present a trophy to the champion and even do it a couple of times a year. This game can really create a lot of fun and is also great as an ice breaker.
