Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Instruct your group to mimic and practise a series of three unique gestures representing:
    – Fox: hold slightly-cupped hands on top of head;
    – Trap: extend both arms in front with open/close action; and
    – Human: stand upright with hands on hips.
  2. In the context of Rock-Paper-Scissors, explain that the trap is superior to the fox, the fox is superior to the human and the human is superior to the trap.
  3. Form a circle, and nominate one person to stand in the centre as the Initiator.
  4. Instruct the Initiator to stand directly in front of any person in the circle and quickly demonstrate one of the three gestures.
  5. The Responder (standing in the circle) is challenged to immediately perform the superior gesture, eg if fox is initiated the Responder must perform a trap.
  6. Explain that timing and accuracy are critical.
  7. If the Responder performs the superior gesture quickly, the Initiator will try again with another person.
  8. If the Responder reacts too slowly or with the same or inferior gesture, they are invited to swap roles with the Initiator.
  9. Continue play for several minutes, and/or try a variation.
