Warm Up: Rock, Paper, Scissors

A lively, interactive warm-up that gets energy up, encourages cheering, and adds a playful twist to a classic game.

Number of participants: Any

Time needed: 10 minutes

Materials: None

Step 1 - Set up the players

Ask participants to pair up and play a standard game of Rock, Paper, Scissors.

Step 2 - Decide the winners and fans

The winner of each pair moves on to the next round. The losing player doesn’t sit out; instead, they join the winner as a “fan” and cheer them on in the next round.

Step 3 - Continue the rounds

Repeat the matches with winners facing other winners. Fans continue to cheer for their champion as they advance through each round.

Step 4 - Build the cheering crowds

As the rounds progress, the winners accumulate larger groups of fans. Encourage enthusiastic cheering to make the energy lively and fun.

Step 5 - The final showdown

Eventually, two winners remain, each supported by a growing cheering team. The final match determines the overall champion while the crowds show their support for their side.

Step 6 - Celebrate

Applaud all participants for their energy and enthusiasm. Highlight the playful atmosphere and the supportiveness shown by fans.
