the Don’t Match Game
Objective:
Be the last person standing.
To Start:
Come up with 3 or more symbols that you will make with your hands and arms.
Example:
Animals:
- Rabbit (two fingers from each hand, held up on the sides of your head)
- Bear (both hands up, fingers spread like claws)
- Snake (right elbow in left hand, right wrist bent like a snake head)
You can come up with more, but three is good, get creative in the signs you make, maybe have the kids help create three.
To play the game:
- The group leader will count to 3 and everyone makes one of the symbols, including the group leader.
- If your symbol matches the group leader, you are out. Keep playing until there is only one player (or so) left.
