How to play

A three to five minute warm-up and icebreaker where each game of paper, scissors, rock grows a cheer squad behind the winner. It is loud, quick and great for learning names.

  1. Have everyone find a partner and play paper, scissors, rock.
  2. The winner stays in; the other player becomes their cheer squad, following them and cheering their name as loudly as possible.
  3. Winners find another winner and play again, with their squads cheering.
  4. Continue until two players are left with everyone cheering for one of them.
  5. Make the final best out of three, then play a couple more rounds so others get a big squad.
  6. Variation: instead of cheering, players join behind as train carriages, hands on shoulders, and the front of the last train wins.
