Description

A guide in the centre of a circle points a finger gun to one of the other guides. If the guides to either side of that guide don't respond quick enough they're out

Instructions

Everyone stands in a circle around one person in the middle
Person in the middle points a finger gun to someone in the circle and shouts "Zap"
Person "shot" at ducks down, and the two people either side of them must point a finger gun to each other and shout "Zap". Whoever points first can stay standing, and the slower one sits down. The person in the middle is allowed to stand up again.
Continue until only two people are left standing.
Then these two people stand back to back. The person in the centre of the circle should count to 3 and the two people take a step with each number said. On 3 they must turn around and draw their finger gun and shout "Zap" and whoever's fastest is the winner and will be in the centre of the circle next round.

Note that when a person ducks, it is the two people either side of them that are still standing (i.e. once a person is sitting down, they don't participate until the next round)

You can edit this game by changing the words said. For example if the person in the middle shouts "Elephant" the person ducking would instead put their arm out like a trunk and the other people either side make a "C" out of their arms to make ears for the elephant. Or they could say something like "Founder of Guiding" and the people either side would have to shout "Lady Baden Powell" as fast as possible
