Instructions

1. The person leading the game should explain how to play ‘rock, paper, scissors’. Two people count down from three and show either a rock (by making their hand into a fist), paper (by showing the palm of their hand) or scissors (by using their first two fingers like a peace sign). Rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper, and paper beats rock.
*It’s a good idea to agree how you’ll count down from three: will you show your hand on the number one or on the word go?

2. Everyone should spread out around the space. In the game of evolution, everyone starts as an egg. They should squat down on the floor and wrap their arms around their legs to make an egg shape.

3. Everyone should shuffle around until they meet another egg.
*Remind everyone to stay at a safe distance from others when they’re moving around.

4. When someone meets another egg, they should play a game of rock, paper, scissors. The winner should evolve into a chicken and the other player should stay as an egg.
*Again, remind pairs to stand at a safe distance from each other when they’re duelling.

5. The chicken should move around bent over, with their arms flapping like a chicken’s wings. They can add sound effects too!
*The egg should repeat step four and find another egg to duel.

6. The chickens should move around the space until they find another chicken, then they should play another game of rock, paper, scissors. This time, the winner should evolve into a dinosaur and the loser should turn back into an egg.

7. The dinosaurs should stand up taller and stomp around with their arms tucked into their chest like a t-rex, until they meet another dinosaur.

8. When two dinosaurs meet, they should play another game. The winner should evolve into a member of the royal family and the loser should turn back into a chicken.

9. The royalty should walk around the space waving like a king or queen until they meet another member of the royal family. The winner of this game should move to the side of the space – they’ve won! The loser should evolve back into a dinosaur.

10. Everyone should keep playing until there are no more games to be. At this point there’s usually one egg, one chicken, one dinosaur and one member of royalty.
