Description

A covid safe version of the popular game giants, wizards and elves.

Resources

something to mark lines - chalk, tape or rope
something to mark the team areas - chalk or cones

Instructions

Everyone should split into two teams.
Each team should move to one of the areas. Everyone should stand on a marker in their area. An adult should stand behind each team.
Remind people that they shouldn’t move from their markers – they’re there to keep them safe.
The person leading the game should show everyone the three creatures in the game: giants, wizards, and elves. Giants stand on their toes, raise their arms, and growl menacingly. Wizards crouch slightly, wave their magical fingers, and say spells. Elves crouch down low, cup their hands behind their ears, and squeak.
The person leading the game should explain that in this game, giants squash elves, elves outsmart wizards, and wizards zap giants.
Each team should turn their back to the opposite team and look at their adult. They should work together to decide whether they’ll be giants, wizards, or elves – without making it obvious to the other team.
People could do the actions or whisper their choice.
The person leading the activity should count down from three. When they say ‘go’, everyone should spin around and show which creature they’ve chosen to be without leaving their marker.
Remember: giants grow and growl, wizards crouch and say spells, and elves crouch down low and squeak.
Everyone should keep doing their action until the person leading the game announces the winner. Rounds should only last for a few seconds. The winning team should get one point.
Play as many rounds as you like. The winning team is the one with the most points at the end.
