| Giants Wizards and Elves This game is very similar to Rock Paper Scissors, it is also a good game when looking for leadership qualities in girls. Girls are split into 2 equal teams, it is possible to have four teams going. Demonstrate the movement and the sound for each of the three main characters in the game. The giant stands up very tall with hands raised over the head and makes the sound, “Aaargh!” The wizard stands with one foot in front of the other, arms extended toward the front with the fingers wiggling and making the sound, “Hissssss!” The elves squat down and move from side to side with their arms waving about and making the sound that comes when you blow air out of your lips. The whole group should practice each of the movements and the sounds just to make sure they have got it right. Once the whole group has the movement and sounds sorted, explain which of the three wins over which other of the three. The rules are giant wins over wizard, wizard wins over elf and elf wins over giant. Explain that each group should huddle up and choose a first and second choice of the three. (this is where the natural leaders tend to step forward and start taking charge) Play begins when each team moves to the line and the leader yells, “One, two, three, what’s it gong to be?” each side demonstrates their first choice. As the leader says 1,2,3 the girls take three steps to the middle and after she says whats it going to be they all do the action at the same time. If both teams choose the same first choice, the leader calls out again ( but the girls do not doing the steps ) and the teams change to their second choice. If they choose the same second choice, the teams regroup and pick two more. The winning team gets a point and the leader keeps tally on who has won, we usually play best of 5. |
