Medieval Rock Paper Scissors

Short Description

"Medieval Rock Paper Scissors" is an active tag game for small to medium-sized groups that combines the familiar "Rock Paper Scissors" principle with movement and role-playing.

Group Size: Small to medium (divided into two equal teams)
Difficulty: Easy
Materials: None
Game Duration: Approx. 5-15 minutes

Game Description:

There are three characters: Dragon, Knight, Princess

  • Dragon eats Princess
  • Knight slays Dragon
  • Princess outsmarts Knight

Each character has a specific pose and sound (which can be decided beforehand).

Two teams of equal size stand facing each other at opposite ends of the room.
Each team collectively decides on a character. Then, both teams meet in the middle of the room.

Simultaneously, they say, "Schnick Schnack Schnuck" (Rock Paper Scissors), and the teams present their chosen characters (at the same time).

The team with the "losing character" must run back to their side of the room as quickly as possible. The team with the "winning character" tries to tag the other team.

The tagged players must then switch to the other team.
