Rock Scissors Paper Challenge

Up to 5 minAll agesNo equipment needed

How to play

A five to ten minute whole group warm-up where everyone plays paper, scissors, rock against the teacher. Winners leap forward with a burpee and squat jump, and the first to reach the front leads the next game.

  1. Line everyone up side by side, with you facing them 20 metres in front.
  2. Every 5 or 10 seconds, count down from three. On one, everyone including you shows paper, scissors or rock.
  3. Anyone who beats you does a burpee on the spot, then a big squat jump forward.
  4. Anyone who draws or loses does 5 star jumps on the spot.
  5. The first to reach you is champion and leads the next game if there's time.
