Rock, Paper, Scissors Kingdoms

Procedure

• 1. Each participant will find a pair to play rock, paper, scissors. 1

  2. The winner of each group will become the king/queen, and the loser will become his/her subject. They are now a kingdom.

  3. Each kingdom will then find another kingdom to play rock, paper, scissors with. The subjects must battle first.

     1. The subject who wins will then battle the other kingdom’s king/queen, while the loser steps out for the duration of the battle.

     2. If the subject defeats the other king/queen, then that king/queen’s kingdom joins the winning subject’s kingdom all as subjects.

     3. If the subject loses to the other king/queen, then the losing subject’s king/queen will need to battle the other king/queen, while the losing subject steps out for the duration of the battle.

  4. The king/queen should always be the last person in a kingdom to battle.

• • 1. When a kingdom has multiple subjects, all the subjects must battle first and lose before the king/queen can battle in the order of youngest to oldest until the king/queen is reached.

• 5. Eventually only two large kingdoms will remain. The winning kingdom wins.

Notes

• • This should be used as a lobby activity as you wait for more participants to arrive.
