HOW TO PLAY: You need one person with a bike and one person that has good reflexes. You will need a street with a hill to play so that the biker is going fast enough to try and doge the slapper. The slapper stands in the middle of the road and tries to slap the biker. If he hits the biker on the head/helmet, the two roles swap. If the biker gets past the slapper, then the roles swap. THe roles do not swap if the slapper hits the biker anywhere other than on the helmet. You need to keep a tally of how many times you have either hit the biker on the head or have dodge the slapper. The slapper is able to move around.
GOAL: SWAP ROLES
RULES: you can’t hurt the other player, and you can’t go into neighbor’s yards.
How it was created: I went down our hill, and my brother stopped in the middle of the road by our house, and I came back up from the hill, and he tried to grab me off my bike, so I said, “Hey, why don’t we make this into a game!”
So we started creating the game. The first rendition wasn’t very good, it was chaotic, because we hadn’t figured out how swapping should work. Then we added more rules, like if you hit the biker on the head it’s and auto win for the slapper, or that you can only win as a biker if you pass them on the second try or later, because I kept on getting past my brother first try so he tried to make that rule, and we kept it for about a week, but then got rid of it, because it was really just a failsafe for my brother.
On our second time playing we made a rule that we couldn’t ride through neighbors yards. We also tried to play hill slap while there were parked cars on both sides of the street which shrunk the playing field by a ton, and made it very difficult for the biker. It was still difficult with just trash cans and recycling bins.
