Game Description:¶
Everyone starts as a penguin. Penguins keep their arms stiffly pressed to their sides and their legs stiff, moving only by waddling.
At the start of the game, one or more "flamingos" are chosen, depending on the group size.
These move by strutting, taking slow steps across the space. Their hands form a large "scoop" – one hand above, one below – that continuously opens and closes.
The flamingos then try to catch the penguins by "biting" them with their scoops.
As soon as a penguin is caught, they transform into a flamingo and also start trying to catch penguins.
The game ends when all penguins have turned into flamingos.
The entire game is rather slow-paced. It's important to ensure that both flamingos and penguins move accordingly. There's no racing in this game.
